FIR (Flight Information Region)

A defined airspace within which flight

information and alerting services are

provided.

FIA (Flight Information Area)

A defined, uncontrolled airspace that extends upward from a specified

boundary over the ground or water surface to a specified upper limit and is
established in connection with a traffic information zone.

FIZ (Flight Information Zone)

active, it is mandatory to maintain

two-way radio communication with Stauning Information.
