What does FIDS stand for?

• A. Flight Information Display System
• B. Flight Information Display Screen
• C. Flight Information Data Screen
• D. Flight Information Display Service

Answer: (B)

FIDS stands for Flight Information Display System. It’s the airport’s centralized network that collects live flight data and shows it on multiple screens throughout the terminal—departures, arrivals, gates, times, delays, and cancellations. The key is the word “system,” which signals an integrated setup that feeds many displays with up-to-date information, rather than just a single screen. People may casually refer to one display as a FIDS screen, but the official term describes the whole network that keeps all those displays in sync.
