Ando1bar - not one hour after dep. If you are within 1 hour you get it, otherwise it is company or pilot responsibility - ever since ops control closed down 15 or so years ago. ASA policy is per AIP. ATC continue to be amazed at the number of pilots and companies that don't understand it.
AIP GEN 3.3-3 para 2.1.1
Pilots are responsible for obtaining information necessary to make operational decisions. To ensure that accurate information is obtained in adequate time, pilots must take into consideration that ATC initiated FIS is limited to aircraft within one hours flight time of the condition or destination at time of receipt of the information by ATC.
