Enroute Flight Advisory Service (EFAS) merges with Inflight Service

Beginning September 24, 2015, EFAS, known as “Flight Watch” in air-to-ground communications will be available on the Flight Service Common Frequency 122.2 and all Remote Communication Outlet (RCO) frequencies. Realigning EFAS to the Inflight position is part of an effort by Flight Service to provide increased benefit to the flying public and streamline its service delivery. With this transition, pilots will have access to all flight services with one call simplifying his or her ability to obtain critical safety of flight information and to take advantage of flight planning services. This change includes discontinuing service over Flight Service Common Frequency 122.0 and the EFAS high altitude discrete frequencies. During a six month transition period, Lockheed Martin Flight Service (LMFS) will monitor current EFAS frequencies and will provide an RCO frequency to use in order to receive enroute [AE1] weather and advisories, allowing pilots time to adjust to the new procedures.
