Air Transport Office

The Air Transport Office is a branch of the red government which governs the DSRRed air space and its civilian usage. The office's main responsibility is to maintain flight traffic control centres across the nation. The branch also contains a number of child organisations which provide services and facilities to red and international aircrew.
The air transport office also organises the placement of major air traffic thoroughfares throughout Flairia, with the aim of providing the utmost safety to aircrew and the least disruption to those on the ground.

=== Air Transport Office for Weather ===
One of the largest child organisations within the Air Transport Office, the Air Transport Office for Weather (also known as ATOW) provides weather and meteorology services for aircrew and air transport reliant businesses. ATOW provides meteorological predictions across a wide range of timescales and areas from the 24 hour flairia-wide Flight Forecast to regional monthly predictions.
==== ATOW Flight Forecast ====
The ATOW Flight Forecast is released twice a day, containing a 24 hour and next day weather forecast for the entirety of Flairia, specialised for air travel. Primarily used by airship pilots of the DSRRed, although later taken up by some air-based transport organisations of other colours, it gives concise but specific weather warnings and information.
The flight forecast is released and broadcast at the following times (Red Local Time) each day:
* 0045 - transmitted on FM and LW radio. Includes weather warnings, a 24-hour forecast and a next-day forecast.
* 1205 - transmitted on LW radio only. Contains both weather warnings and a 24-hour forecast.
In order to keep the amount of information that the Flight Forecast aims to present concise for radio transmission, it follows a number of rules and guidelines.
