AFSS speaking to the computer
Now that the AFSS requires you say
"Briefer.....California....Northern" I've run into problems. I've found that on a noisy ramp the system just keeps saying "I'm sorry I didn't understand that". Its really irritating. I've tried pressing buttons but it does't work. Can I just directly dial my local FSS briefer? I hate talking to the computer, even when I call my bank I've found I can bypass the voice by pressing buttons. -Robert
