London information as do Scottish information have a FID ( Flight Information Display) it is basically a radar display both Primary and Secondary and also mode S capable at Scottish. As the sectors are only manned by FISO's the staff are not valid in its use as a radar and is only to be used as an airspace infringement tool. By that I mean if we think an aircraft we are providing a BS to and in relation to the planned route the pilot has told us he intends to follow, although the flight at no time is officially identified at times we may realise from the observation we make on the FID that a flight may infringe CAS or an active danger area. If this is the case we would arrange a radar service from a nearby radar unit to hopefully stop the infringement happening.
