FDIO Question
Posted: 12-06-2009, 08:24 PM Can someone help me out with this. Where can I go to online that will provide info about the FDIO. I have knowledge about a few FDIO fields we use but is there anywhere online that I can go to get the complete list. Thanks.
edit: You can find the info here: Check out the Air Force Training Series AT-E-16. It'll give you a couple hours of enjoyment! |

Re: FIDO question???
Posted: 12-06-2009, 09:37 PM I try not to sound like a noob to much but what the heck does FIDO stand for? I looked searched the 7110.65, AIM, Pilot/Controller Glossary, and googled it and came up blank.

Re: FIDO question???
Posted: 12-06-2009, 10:11 PM We have some people call it the "Fa Dio". I've always known them as FIDO and it took me a while to figure out what the frick they were talking about. They think I'm weird when I say FIDO. Even the newbs coming in have been brainwashed to say Fa Dio and think I am making stuff up, even when they teach it as FIDO at the Academy (when I was there).

Re: FIDO question???
Posted: 12-07-2009, 12:56 AM i don't know of a link with all that information readily available online. we have a card sitting next to the fa-dio (lol) at work as a cheat sheet. off the top of my head i come up with:
field # - field 1 - message type (FP, SR, RS, AM, etc) 2 - CID/ACID (callsign, beacon, CID) 3 - TYP/AC type (B752, H/B52, C172/A, etc) 4 - BCN/beacon code 5 - SPD/AC speed (210, 450, M.78, etc) 6 - FIX/coordination fix (dept fix, posted fix, previous fix, etc) 7 - TIM/time (P-time, D-time, E-time) 8 - ALT/assigned altitude 9 - RAL/requested altitude 10 - RTE/route of flight (fix.route.fix..fix.etc) 11 - RMK/remarks there are more fields but these are the common ones. i always get field 8 and 9 mixed up so if i'm wrong then my bad. i just use the "RAL" and "ALT" when dealing with altitudes. |

Posted: 12-07-2009, 06:32 AM At least when they layed out the keyboard they used the Qwerty vs. what they used for the ARTS keyboard.

Posted: 12-07-2009, 09:01 AM Haha, so true. I'm so used to the QWERTY keyboard, typing on the ARTS keypad makes it look like I don't even know the alphabet.
