National Activity Summarization

16-1-2. TOTAL FLIGHT SERVICES FORMULA

Total Flight Services have historically been and continue to be used as a measurement of the overall activity of individual FSSs. Total Flight Services are based on the following formula:

a. FSS: Total Flight Services equal two times pilot briefs plus two times flight plans originated plus aircraft contacted.

b. IFSS: Total Flight Services equal two times pilot briefs plus two times flight plans originated plus two times aircraft contacted.

c. FSS/IFSS: Total Flight Services equal two times pilot briefs plus two times flight plans originated plus two times international aircraft contacted plus one times domestic aircraft contacted.

NOTE-
Total Flight Services are not to be confused with the Flight Service Activity Factor, which is used for facility grade level determination and reclassification purposes. The present classification criteria and related formula for the Flight Service Activity Factor are contained in the GS-2152 position-classification standard issued by Civil Service Commission (CSC) (now Office of Personnel Management (OPM)) in June 1978.
