The Flight Service Station Master Plan provides for automation of the highest activity stations and introduction of pilot self-service features. The Master Plan, however, deferred decisions on several key issues. The proposed resolution of these issues is as follows: The distribution and location of Flight Service Stations (domestic and nonconterminous) and possible collocation with Air Route Traffic Control Centers. We have identified 61 sites for automated Flight Service Stations. We have decided against collocation because it isolates the Flight Service Stations. System from the primary user, General Aviation. Construction of suitable quarters to house the automated facilities. New buildings will be required at 59 of the 61 sites to accommodate consolidation and automation. The consolidation of existing Flight Service Stations into the new facilities. Consolidation of adjacent Flight Service Stations into the automated facility will not be initiated until we have shown the level of service at the new facility to be at least equal to the service available at the nonautomated locations. As a result of these measures, the total cost of automating and consolidating the Flight Service Station network would be increased from $453 million to $495 million, a difference of $42 million.
