NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Require air traffic control facilities to enter all Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC) contacts on Federal Aviation Administration Form 7230-4, Daily Record of Facility Operations, and, in circumstances where that contact results in the AFRCC assigning a new incident number to the event, require facilities to contact the AFRCC at least once per shift for a status update until the AFRCC advises that an incident has been resolved.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is required to mandate that air traffic control facilities record all contacts with the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC) on FAA Form 7230-4. Additionally, when an AFRCC contact results in a new incident number, facilities must contact the AFRCC at least once per shift for updates until the AFRCC confirms the incident is resolved.
This plain-language summary is written by FlightFinder to explain the recommendation above. It is not the official wording — the verbatim NTSB text is quoted above.
