Telephone Information Briefing Service (TIBS)

Telephone Information Briefing Service (TIBS) is a type of Flight Service Station (FSS) that provides automated telephone recordings regarding the weather conditions, airspace procedures, and special aviation-oriented announcements for a specific area and/or route. This continuously-updated service aims to provide pilots with the necessary information to plan safe and efficient flights.

TIBS services are accessible 24/7 and offer general aviation pilots with immediate access to critical flight information, including information about Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs), Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs), and other critical information required for pre-flight planning and en-route flight management.

By providing crucial information, TIBS helps pilots to make informed decisions regarding flight planning and safety, assisting them to avoid potential hazards in the airspace. It is an essential communication channel designed to significantly enhance aviation safety for the entire aviation industry.
