2.Numerous cases of inadvertent activation have occurred as a result of aerobatics, hard landings, movement by ground crews and aircraft mainte-nance. These false alarms can be minimized by monitoring 121.5 MHz and/or 243.0 MHz as follows: (a)In flight when a receiver is available. (b)Before engine shut down at the end of each flight. (c)When the ELT is handled during installa-tion or maintenance. (d)When maintenance is being performed near the ELT. (e)When a ground crew moves the aircraft. (f)If an ELT signal is heard, turn off the aircraft’s ELT to determine if it is transmitting. If it has been activated, maintenance might be required before the unit is returned to the “ARMED” position. You should contact the nearest Air Traffic facility and notify it of the inadvertent activation. Emergency Services Available to Pilots 6.2.3 d. Inflight Monitoring and Reporting. 1. Pilots are encouraged to monitor 121.5 MHz and/or 243.0 MHz while inflight to assist in identifying possible emergency ELT transmissions. On receiving a signal, report the following information to the nearest air traffic facility: (a)Your position at the time the signal was first heard. (b)Your position at the time the signal was last heard. (c)Your position at maximum signal strength. (d)Your flight altitudes and frequency on which the emergency signal was heard: 121.5 MHz or 243.0 MHz. If possible, positions should be given relative to a navigation aid. If the aircraft has homing equipment, provide the bearing to the emergency signal with each reported position. 6.2.6. FAA K.9 Explosives Detection Team Program a.The FAA’s Office of Civil Aviation Security Operations manages the FAA K.9 Explosives Detection Team Program which was established in 1972. Through a unique agreement with law enforcement agencies and airport authorities, the FAA has strategically placed FAA.certified K.9 teams (a team is one handler and one dog) at airports throughout the country. If a bomb threat is received while an aircraft is in flight, the aircraft can be directed to an airport with this capability. The FAA provides initial and refresher training for all handlers, provides single purpose explosive detector dogs, and requires that each team is annually evaluated in five areas for FAA certification: aircraft (widebody and narrowbody), vehicles, terminal, freight (cargo), and luggage. If you desire this service, notify your company or an FAA air traffic control facility. b.The following list shows the locations of current FAA K.9 teams: TBL 6.2.1 FAA Sponsored Explosives Detection Dog/Handler Team Locations Airport Symbol Location ATL Atlanta, Georgia BHM Birmingham, Alabama BOS Boston, Massachusetts BUF Buffalo, New York CLT Charlotte, North Carolina ORD Chicago, Illinois CVG Cincinnati, Ohio DFW Dallas, Texas DEN Denver, Colorado DTW Detroit, Michigan IAH Houston, Texas JAX Jacksonville, Florida MCI Kansas City, Missouri LAX Los Angeles, California MEM Memphis, Tennessee MIA Miami, Florida MKE Milwaukee, Wisconsin MSY New Orleans, Louisiana MCO Orlando, Florida PHX Phoenix, Arizona PIT Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania PDX Portland, Oregon SLC Salt Lake City, Utah SFO San Francisco, California SJU San Juan, Puerto Rico SEA Seattle, Washington STL St. Louis, Missouri TUS Tucson, Arizona TUL Tulsa, Oklahoma c. If due to weather or other considerations an aircraft with a suspected hidden explosive problem were to land or intended to land at an airport other than those listed in b above, it is recommended that they call the FAA’s Washington Operations Center (telephone 202.267.3333, if appropriate) or have an air traffic facility with which you can communicate contact the above center requesting assistance. 6.2.4 Emergency Services Available to Pilots 6.2.7. Search and Rescue a.General. SAR is a lifesaving service provided through the combined efforts of the federal agencies signatory to the National SAR Plan, and the agencies responsible for SAR within each state. Operational resources are provided by the U.S. Coast Guard, DOD components, the Civil Air Patrol, the Coast Guard Auxiliary, state, county and local law enforcement and other public safety agencies, and private volunteer organizations. Services include search for missing aircraft, survival aid, rescue, and emergency medical help for the occupants after an accident site is located. b.National Search and Rescue Plan. By federal interagency agreement, the National Search and Rescue Plan provides for the effective use of all available facilities in all types of SAR missions. These facilities include aircraft, vessels, pararescue and ground rescue teams, and emergency radio fixing. Under the plan, the U.S. Coast Guard is responsible for the coordination of SAR in the Maritime Region, and the USAF is responsible in the Inland Region. To carry out these responsibilities, the Coast Guard and the Air Force have established Rescue Coordination Centers (RCCs) to direct SAR activities within their regions. For aircraft emergen-cies, distress, and urgency, information normally will be passed to the appropriate RCC through an ARTCC or FSS. c. Coast Guard Rescue Coordination Centers. (See TBL 6.2.2.) |
