Lockheed Martin Opens Registration for Adverse Condition Alerting Service Website

ASHBURN, Va., – Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] Flight Services (LMFS) today announced open online registration for the Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS) Pilot Web Portal and new Adverse Condition Alerting Service (ACAS). ACAS and the Pilot Web Portal will enhance safety and convenience for pilots who use LMFS to file flight plans.

The Pilot Web Portal, accessible through AFSS.com, allows pilots to file flight plans online directly with LMFS and retrieve the same briefing information and weather graphics provided to LMFS Specialists. In addition, pilots will be able to input additional information including favorite flight plans and personal aircraft data.

Pilots who register online and opt-in for ACAS via the Pilot Web Portal will receive alerts of new adverse conditions specific to their LMFS filed flight plans via text, email and Iridium satellite devices. The alerts prompt pilots to call or radio LMFS to receive an abbreviated briefing addressing the new adverse condition.

“Lockheed Martin is excited to release the Pilot Web Portal and ACAS to the general aviation community,” said Jim Derr, director of Lockheed Martin Flight Services. “Whether you prefer to self-brief or to call us, these new services will enhance safety for general aviation pilots and make it easier than ever to file flight plans with LMFS.”
