Leidos offers an advanced service that sends a notification to a pilot to close their flight plan before it is overdue.
All flight actions will be saved in the pilot’s account history.
A Flight Service Specialist can help with any questions concerning credentialed flight plan actions.
In addition, if you wish to submit credentialed web services, your application will show up at the Leidos Flight Service website on the Service Provider Authorization page so that pilots can select your application.
For performing credentialed actions, a pilot must authorize who can provide services on their behalf. To have your clients authorize your application to send web services on their behalf, you can direct them to use the following steps:
Create an account and login to the Leidos Flight Service website.
From the “Account” tab, select “Service Provider Authorization”
Click “Edit”, next Next to your application, click “Edit”, select “Yes” , and click “Save”
A credentialed web service request will contain the pilot’s Flight Service user name. It's a good idea to set up an additional account in our test website to simulate a customer of yours. If you'd like an additional account, please let us know.
If you would like your application to be set up to send in credentialed web services, please send an email to: R-FFSP-WebServicesSupport@leidos.com.
