What is included in advisory services provided by ATS?

Advisory services provided by Air Traffic Services (ATS) are designed to ensure safety and efficiency in aviation operations. Remote airport advisory services are specifically aimed at providing critical information to pilots about airport conditions, weather, and other relevant operational data when they are not in direct contact with air traffic control. This service comes into play particularly in cases where there may be less organized traffic or at airports without a control tower, helping to keep pilots informed and enhancing safety.

While vehicle control services, flight information services enroute, and tower control services are important components of air traffic management, they do not fall under the specific category of advisory services. Vehicle control pertains to managing ground vehicles at airports, tower control relates to the direct management of aircraft in proximity to an airport, and flight information service enroute provides critical data during flight but typically does not serve the same advisory role specific to remote airport operations as remote airport advisory services do. Thus, the selection accurately reflects a key aspect of the advisory services that ATS offers.
