A very handy little tome, well worth the price.

Does anyone know if there is a A/FD formated for use on a palm top device?

Download the file, make the appropriate modifications and download it to
your palm device. You know how to do this. It takes maybe five minutes,
depending on how much you want to reformat it.

I know that but I was wondering if anyone was doing the formating already.

You'll need a Windows device, a Palm would gag.

Just incase you did not know. If yor call 1-800-WX-BRIEF on your cell phone,
you will get the FSS for your cell phone's area code. For example, if I'm in El
Paso and I call 1-800-WX-BRIEF on my cell phone I will not be talking to
Albuquerque FSS, I'll be talking to the guys back home (McAlester FSS in
Oklahoma)

I think this varies by cell carrier. Presently I have Verizon with a
So-Cal area code (760) -- but I always end up being connected to the
Prescott, AZ Flight Service. I seem to recall that with my prior cell
provider (T-Mobile) the call would route properly to the San Diego FSS.

You can close your flight plan with anybody and anybody can give you
a weather briefing.

I thought that FSS preferred you to close the flight plan with the FSS
that covers your destination? They always give me a specific FSS to close
with; I thought it was at best a hassle if you called a different one.

I thought they were supposed to be fixing that problem.. ship you to the
nearest available FSS based on the Cell Grid you call in on, not on your
cell phone area code.

There is a webpage on the FAA site with a list of telephone numbers, but
I do not have the URL handy.

The facility specific toll free numbers are in the AF/D. Not a very
convenient organization but they are there in the back.

There are many lists available. From AOPA, I keep this list of FSS numbers
on my PDA and on my eFlyBook and in printed form:
http://flighttraining.aopa.org/membe...g/pdfs/fss.pdf

and this list of ATC numbers:

http://flighttraining.aopa.org/membe...g/pdfs/atc.pdf

Even if you have no PDF capable device in the plane and you don't buy an
AF/D, you could print them.


Google for "FSS phone numbers" brought up many web pages with the numbers
listed.


In HTML but could be printed:
