Interagency Aviation Information Bulletins
Forest Service (FSIB) and Interagency (IAIB)
Forest Service or Interagency Information Bulletins are orange bordered and published on an as needed basis. They are utilized to disseminate information regarding items such as changes to regulations or operating procedures that is important for field operations or reminders for proper procedures. An example is an airport closure or construction that may affect airtanker base operations.
