The Virginia Flight Information Exchange

The Virginia Flight Information eXchange (VA-FIX) is an information hub focused on providing authoritative state and local data to foster collaboration for the benefit of public safety and transparency. FIX is a Supplemental Data Service Provider (SDSP) as described in the Federal Aviation Administration’s Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Traffic Management (UTM) Concept of Operations (ConOps).

FIX provides authoritative state and local data sharing for local and state agencies and to UAS Service Suppliers (USS) and UAS pilots for improved planning and safety analysis. FIX is a publicly available platform that gives agencies in the Commonwealth the ability to securely publish and share zoning, operational, emergency, safety, and quality of life advisory information with each other, with unmanned system service providers, unmanned system operators, and the public.

FIX is administered by the Virginia Department of Aviation (DOAV), together with partners in the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM), and the Center for Innovative Technology (CIT).
