Every decision a pilot makes has consequences—for themselves, for their passengers and crew, and for everyone else in the skies. From the fliers of single-engine Cessnas to the specialized Medevac flight crews, what they need first and foremost is reliable, dependable, up-to-the-minute information. That’s where you could come in. As a NAV CANADA Flight Service Specialist, you:

• Provide pre-flight weather briefings after interpreting charts, reports and satellite imagery.

• Assist with flight plan filing.

• Provide information to help pilots to safely land and take-off from uncontrolled airports.

• Stay in contact with pilots during their flights.

• Communicate safety updates.

• Provide hourly weather reports to Environment Canada forecasters for their predictions.

• Trigger search and rescue activities for missing or overdue aircraft.

Flight Service Specialists work in Flight Service Stations (FSS) and Flight Information Centres (FIC). Flight Service Stations provide local weather information and airport advisory services; while the country’s eight FICs deliver flight planning, in-depth interpretive weather information and en route advisories to aircraft operating in Canadian airspace.
