Summary of Defect:

The first note of the section indicates that all the statements in the section apply to both the FIS ground LI module and FIS air LI module.

This is erroneous, since a SARPs conformant ground ASE never uses a D-START request. As a consequence, the LI-START-I state is not relevant for the ground LI module and the LI-START-R state is not relevant for the air LI module. All the associated transitions are thus also irrelevant.

Proposed SARPs amendment: 

Section 2.4.5.3.12 should be replaced by two sections, one addressing the FIS ground LI module and the other addressing the FIS air LI module. These sections should be populated with the relevant contents of the original section 2.4.5.3.12.

SME Recommendation to CCB:                 	REJECTED

The FIS application has been designed as a generic application able to support in the future several types of FIS services (both air and ground-initiated)even if in version 1 only the air-initiated ATIS service is defined. The LI module has been designed to be able to support - in the future - ground-initiated FIS services, as for instance the RVR service.  

CCB Decision:                                     	atnp_ccb_chair: SUBMITTED (12/05/098)
					atnp_ccb_chair: REJECTED (20/05/98)

SME 2 note: the request has been accepted later (see PDR 99010006).
