FSS phone numbers in all states

[M]

I just realize that this information might be useful and I re-posted
under a new subject, so it'll be easier to search.

Credits: the original list came from
http://www.4innovation.biz/fss.txt, and someone posted on the
grumman-gang mailing list while back. I sorted the list by states.
Most of time I know the state that I'm in, but I don't necessarily know
the name of the FSS closest to me if I'm traveling :-)

True but you'll get who you get.

With the new system, as often as not, I get ABQ and not Prescott, AZ even
though I'm only a couple hours south of Prescott.

Somtimes it's handy to know the local numbers if you have a question
regarding something very location specific. Like asking about dropping in
to say hi.

You can close your flight plan with anybody and anybody can give you
a weather briefing. However, the FSS's closer to where you are (rather
than where your cell phone implies) probably understand the local
weather and NOTAMS better.

I have to use Leesburg to file FRZ plans.

I thought that FSS preferred you to close the flight plan with the FSS
that covers your destination? They always give me a specific FSS to close
with; I thought it was at best a hassle if you called a different one.

[BT]

I thought they were supposed to be fixing that problem.. ship you to the
nearest available FSS based on the Cell Grid you call in on, not on your
cell phone area code.

Just incase you did not know. If yor call 1-800-WX-BRIEF on your cell phone,
you will get the FSS for your cell phone's area code. For example, if I'm in El

Albuquerque FSS, I'll be talking to the guys back home (McAlester FSS in

[Wade Hasbrouck]

Or, if you are in Canada, and need to file a flight plan to get back across
the border after nice day at an airshow, and try calling 1-866-WX-BRIEF
(Canadian version of 1-800-WX-BRIEF) from your U.S. phone, there is a good
chance you will get something like "Sorry, you can't call that number..."
Luckily, there was a "Pilot Information Kiosk" at the Abbottsford tower
where the Flight Service Centre (as they say in Canada) used to be, although
it took a little bit to find the handset on the side of it that went
directly to the Kamloops Flight Service Centre.

The next challenge was to notify U.S. Customs in Seattle from the Abbotsford
Airport where there isn't apparently very good cell coverage, that we were
headed home... :-) Talked the Weather Observer into letting us use her
phone.

This year when I go to Abbotsford for the airshow... 1) I have found an 866
number for the Kamloops Flight Service Centre that works on my U.S. cell
phone, and already have it programmed in my cell phone. 2) taking a calling
card with me that will allow me to call the U.S. from Canada in case I don't
get good cell coverage.

Getting to Canada is easy... Getting home is a little bit more work... :-)

-Wade H.

P.S. For those that don't know, it is only about two miles from the border
to the Abbotsford Airport (CYXX).

There is a webpage on the FAA site with a list of telephone numbers, but
I do not have the URL handy.

A reason for carrying such a list is when traveling across the border.
When you want to come back, the 800-may not work from where you are
calling. You will want to call the FSS closest to your destination to
obtain US Customs telephone numbers so you can contact them directly
with your arrival information.

The facility specific toll free numbers are in the AF/D. Not a very
convenient organization but they are there in the back.

There are many lists available. From AOPA, I keep this list of FSS numbers
on my PDA and on my eFlyBook and in printed form:
http://flighttraining.aopa.org/members/flight_bag/pdfs/fss.pdf

and this list of ATC numbers:

http://flighttraining.aopa.org/members/flight_bag/pdfs/atc.pdf

Even if you have no PDF capable device in the plane and you don't buy an
AF/D, you could print them.


Google for "FSS phone numbers" brought up many web pages with the numbers
listed.


In HTML but could be printed:

Or this one with a pretty, cloud background:

I just realize that this information might be useful and I re-posted
under a new subject, so it'll be easier to search.

This information is already included in the Airport/Facility Directory.
A very handy little tome, well worth the price.

Does anyone know if there is a A/FD formated for use on a palm top device?

Download the file, make the appropriate modifications and download it to
your palm device. You know how to do this. It takes maybe five minutes,
depending on how much you want to reformat it.

I know that but I was wondering if anyone was doing the formating already.

You'll need a Windows device, a Palm would gag.

I attend a FAA safety meeting today and one of the speaker was from the
McAlester AFSS. She talked about the rollout of the FS21 system
http://www.afss.com/news/. The FSS's will be closed and consolidate into the
hubs start on the east coast and move west across the country. The McAlester
AFSS will close 14 May 2007 and it functions move to the Fort Worth hub. It
seems to me that by May all FSS phone numbers east of Oklahoma will be
disconnected. In May I'll be forced to used 1-800-WX-BRIEF (992-7433).

I went to http://www.afss.com/ and did not see any of the great services that
Lockheed Martin said they would provide. The front page was last updated
10/4/2006 9:15:27 AM. Lockheed Martin doesn't seem to be keeping us informed.
