1The facility’s productivity factor is determined 

by dividing the annual RAA service count by 

16,000. The productivity factor is compared to the 

number of employees used to provide the service 

and must be equal 

to or greater than the number of employees 

needed to provide the service. Normally about 2.5 

employees are factored annually to provide 10 

hours of service per day.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The criteria for providing Airport 

Advisory (AA) services at Flight Service 

Stations (FSS) is provided in FAA Order 

7210.3, Facility Operation and 

Administration; specifically, paragraph 

13–4–5, addresses Local Airport 

Advisory (LAA), Remote Airport 

Advisory (RAA) and Remote Airport 

Information Service (RAIS). Section (b) 

of that paragraph requires, in part, that 

Flight Service Stations provide RAA 

when the employee productivity factor 

is high enough to justify the cost of 

providing the service.1

In 2005, Lockheed Martin took over 

flight service operations at 58 locations 

as part of a 5-year contract covering the 

Contiguous United States (CONUS), 

Puerto Rico, and Hawaii. Lockheed 

Martin subsequently consolidated 

operations, reducing the number of 

facilities from 58 to 18 to the current 

number of 5. Consolidation had 

previously been recommended by 

stakeholders, including both the FAA 

and the Office of Inspector General 

(OIG), to reduce cost and improve 

operational efficiency, regardless of 

whether those services continued to be 

provided by the FAA, or a contractor.2

As part of Lockheed Martin’s 

consolidation, AA services transitioned 

from Local Airport Advisory (LAA) 

services, located at the airport where the 

service is provided, to Remote Airport 

Advisory (RAA) services, not located at 

the airport where the service is 

provided.3 Additionally, FAA exercised
