OASIS is a program to modernize 61 automated flight service stations in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. These stations provide in-flight planning and up-to-date weather information to general aviation pilots.
OASIS consists of commercial-off-the-shelf hardware and software to combine weather, flight plan and aeronautical database information within a single system. Currently, specialists use two different systems to retrieve information. Specialists will be able to perform their jobs more efficiently by combining all the information they need on a single system. With up-to-date weather information, specialists can effectively identify areas affected by storms.
Twelve flight service stations will receive OASIS by December 2003.
