As promised yesterday, even more news today! IFISA is proud to welcome ATAICMA - Associação dos Técnicos Angolanos de Informação Comunicação e Manutenção Aeronáutica ATAICMA from Angola is our first member from Africa, and we hope to welcome other African nations to IFISA very soon.

This is turning into a busy week of announcements from IFISA! All member organisations of IFISA have been sent a copy of the AFIS and enroute FIS Phraseology documents. These documents were worked on at the successful Manchester seminar in September, and includes all of the agreed text, plus a few areas where work is still needed to be completed, though the amount left is very small in relation to the rest of the document, which is very re-assuring! The documents were sent to those present at the working group at Manchester and to add nominated points of contact registered with IFISA. If you have not received your copy of the document, please check with your nominated point of contact in your own organisation. Closing date for comments on the AFIS document is the 20th December 2016 and the Enroute FIS document is November 1:st 2016. Regards Paul Brown President IFISA
