ATC Can Also Help

Knackers:

ATC can help IFR pilots by getting other pilot reports to verify the forecast FZL particularly in those areas of your sector where the forecast FZL is very close to the LSALT. The more actual reports the better as it puts pilots ina better position to divert in advance if necessary.

Such reports can also assist ATC in planning your sector operations as you will then know in advance that GA aircraft are most likely to request diversions to lower terrain areas when the FZL is low.
