Question: You are in the terminal and you see a FIDS. What are you looking at?

1. flight information display system
2. freight identifiers
3. facility intrusion detection system
4. flight instrument diagnostic scope

Correct Answer: flight information display system

Arrival and departure information is maintained in the FIDS system. FIDS consists of a server, workstations and display screens. Any information about the day's flights, such as gate assignments, scheduled and estimated arrival and departure times, boarding status, etc., can be input by the airline and communicated to their passengers as well as the "meeters and greeters."
