Abstract:This report documents a field study of Data Link Flight Information Services
(FIS) designed for use by general aviation (GA) pilots. The Data Link FIS
package that was evaluated in this study included the Traffic Information
Service (TIS), Text Weather Service (TWS), and Graphical Weather Service (GWS).
TIS is intended to assist the pilot in the task of airborne collision avoidance
by providing a graphical display of surrounding air traffic. The weather
services are designed to provide near real-time weather information to GA
pilots. GWS is a national precipitation mosaic derived from ground-based
weather radars. The report is an independent assessment of the field study
conducted by the Data Link Branch of the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center.
