NTSB Issues Recommendation Regarding Flight Service Manual Compliance for Military Training Routes
The National Transportation Safety Board has directed the Federal Aviation Administration to ensure flight service specialists adhere to notification protocols when military training routes become active outside reserved times.
The National Transportation Safety Board, identified by reference number SEA93FA094AB, has issued a formal recommendation designated as A-94-126. This directive urges the Federal Aviation Administration to take specific action concerning flight service operations. The agency is asked to issue a general notice addressed to all flight service specialists. This notice would direct these personnel to strictly follow the provisions outlined in Flight Service Manual 7110.10. The manual requires that all nearby flight service stations responsible for visual military training routes be notified when those routes become active. This notification requirement applies specifically when the time of activation does not correlate with the time reserved by the military. The recommendation aims to improve coordination and safety through accurate adherence to established manual procedures.
