Bundaberg
Flight Service Unit - 1979 | |
The photo above shows the briefing area from the FIS 3, or briefer/supervisor, position. Against the wall are two desks on which pilots could review breifing information and compile flight plans. The teleprinter was used to receive aircraft movement messages from other units, as well as weather and NOTAM information. The photo below is the reverse view, showing the new FIS 2 and 1 (air/ground) positions. The overhead map display is, as yet, blank. Of note is the NOTAM/weather carousel mounted on the briefing desk.
