Airservices is progressing a program to improve the adequacy and effectiveness of Flight Information Service (FIS) in the Pilbara region in accordance with a CASA Direction.
The program includes two streams for concurrent delivery of initial risk mitigation in Financial Year 2026-2027 and pursuing longer-term capability uplift with planning and design activities underway.
A key requirement for the program is consultation with all users of Pilbara airspace on how best to rectify the Pilbara FIS identified deficiencies and how to measure progress in rectification.

A key requirement for the program is consultation with all users of Pilbara airspace on how best to rectify the Pilbara FIS identified deficiencies and how to measure progress in rectification.
Airservices is undertaking Phase 2 of consultation with industry stakeholders to validate the proposed Pilbara FIS Draft Rectification Plan. Phase 1 of consultation informed the submission to CASA of Airservices’ Draft FIS Rectification Plan.
The Phase 2 Industry Consultation Pack available here.
The document sets out:
Key themes from phase 1 industry stakeholder feedback
Priority sites and rationale
Principles and assumptions considered in the solution
Proposed technology and service uplifts
Other elements not addressed through FIS changes
Proposed measures of progress
This material is based on the Draft Rectification Plan available here.
Phase 2 of industry consultation seeks to validate the proposed FIS rectification approach, including key assumptions, priority site selections, operational feasibility and measures of progress, through stakeholder feedback.
The intended outcome is to ensure alignment with the scope of the CASA Direction, and that:
Airservices’ investment is targeting the areas in the Pilbara region with the greatest operational complexity experienced by a broad range of airspace users; and
the proposed FIS solution is practicable and will improve pilot situational awareness and cognitive workload.
Please submit feedback between 22 September and 12 October 2026 to:
