A Day in the Life of AFIS - Aerodrome Flight Information Services

DISCLAIMER: This video is for ENTERTAINMENT purposes only. If you are to provide AFIS, make sure you inform yourself about all local laws and procedures. Radio communications in Germany are private and protected by law, as such I did a voice-over on all communications, with the added benefit of translating from German to English.
As part of being member of a flight club, it is common to provide AFIS at your airfield (in German, "flugleitung"). At our club, those who volunteer for this have to provide this service typically 4 times a year, depending on how many people are available. When I drive to the airfield, the main thing in my mind is to do my best that there will be no accidents or incidents which will cause injuries, harm or damage to property... and above all that we all live to die another day. At the end of the day, flying is not without danger. Luckily, fatal accidents in general aviation are becoming less and less frequent. Hope you enjoy the video!

Interesting 😀 In my country (Denmark) AFIS/FIC is a 1 year Education, including the ATC Basic and simulator course, and 6 months on the job training, to obtain a FISO license

Also in G (non-controlled) airspace?

@@LeantoPeak Yes Class G Airspace, but there is at TIZ (Traffic Information Zone) established around the Aerodrome, which also is a Radio Mandatory Zone, you must establish 2 way radio communication with the AFIS inside. The purpose is primarily to service commercial IFR Traffic, which can’t operate in or out of an Airport unless it’s at least AFIS

@@scandinavianaviator8141 interesting! I know them as ATZ (aerodrome traffic zones), but in Germany the small VFR uncontrolled airfields don't even have that. In Portugal on the other, pretty much all airfields are within an ATZ. And even if they are not RMZ, normally on the AIP it is indicated that 2-way communication is mandatory. Very interesting these small differences within Europe.

UK Ppl here. Most of my flying was from uncontrolled airfields. Early in my flying I was authorised in ground to air coms. Having a good mental picture of the aerodrome activity takes concentration and practice. Thank you for this video.

It does take concentration and practice indeed, and it can make a world of difference in terms of safety. At the end of the day, it can save people's lives. Cheers and thanks for chiming in!

Grande vídeo, sou aluno e tenho de ir a Évora e este vídeo deu me ideia do que esperar de um serviço AFIS.

Fico contente que ajude. O manual VFR normalmente também tem a fraseologia para aeródromo não controlado. Abraço e bom voo. Depois conta como foi ☺

@@LeantoPeakNão, estava curioso de como era o serviço AFIS e como responder a coisas que não são clearances se tinha de dar readback ou não, mas foi tudo muito fluido e normal, é só dar os reports e dois cliques no ptt ou roger ou outra forma de indicar "entendido" quando ele nos dá informações como na final.
