Which term stands for the facility that issues weather briefings to pilots, abbreviated FSS?

• A. ATIS- Automatic Terminal Information Service
• B. FSS- Flight Service Station
• C. AOC- Air Operations Center
• D. METAR Center

Answer: (B)

Flight Service Station provides weather briefings to pilots. These facilities offer preflight weather briefings, flight planning assistance, and updates en route, helping pilots understand conditions before and during a flight. The other terms describe different things: ATIS is an automated broadcast of current airport weather and runway information, not a full briefing service; an Air Operations Center is a military command facility; and METARs are standardized weather reports, not briefing centers. So the abbreviated term for the facility that issues weather briefings is Flight Service Station (FSS).
