Interphone priorities: #1
1) emergency messages including essential information on aircraft accidents or suspected accidents. After an actual emergency has passed, give a lower priority to messages relating to that accident.
Interposition coordination procedures
Within each facility:
Close coordination is a must.
Keep each position advised so that they have a better understanding of the overall picture.
It in doubt, verify information.
Interposition coordination procedures taught during position qualification phase.
Local facility coordination procedures
-Accomplished via landline communications that involve:
•Base operations
•GCA
•ATCT
•Crash phone
•Etc.
-Be specific while keeping verbiage to a minimum to accomplish the task.
-Interphone communications between ATC facilities are IAW JO 7110.65 chapter 2 section 4, radio and interphone communication.
Coordination with ARTCC
Coordination w/ Anchorage Center (ZAN) can be accomplished via phone lines, or through FAI Approach
Coordination to adjacent airports:
Is done by direct line, landline, or automated means
Multiple emergency hand-off procedures: frequency management
Attempt to keep the aircraft on one frequency throughout emergency.
Multiple emergency hand-off procedures: coordination
In the event an emergency occurs during operations of more than one aircraft, coordinate with FAI Approach to keep the second aircraft on FAI approach frequency until the first aircraft has completed its approach.
Multiple emergency hand-off procedures: abbreviated (short) approaches
During an emergency, the arrival/final controller shall make every attempt to vector the aircraft for a safe, but short approach.
Initial approach altitudes: PAR runway 25
2,500’ MSL

Weather minimums- PAR (w/o glideslope)

Departure procedures: routes
Unless otherwise coordinated by Fairbanks approach, all IFR departures will be assigned a right/left turn to heading 150° and instructed to maintain a departure altitude of either one zero thousand or their requested altitude, whichever
is lower.
For published departure procedures, refer to most current U.S. Terminal procedures.
Flight plan requirements
No aircraft, including aircraft operating under the Department of The Army contract will be flown unless an appropriate flight plan has been filed through base operations or Unit flight ops, and been approved by an appropriate clearance facility.
Exception to this policy includes BLM aircraft (files through BLM Dispatch), MEDEVAC missions and search and rescue. (Optional phraseology: “R12345, verify you filed a flight plan”)
What will happen with aircraft that do not have a flight plan entered in the AAAS/IDS5
Controllers will not withold clearance for aircraft that do not have a flight plan entered in the AAAS/IDS5, but only advise the pilot that he/she should contact base operations.
Aircraft operating on an IFR flight plan shall not depart until an IFR flight plan has been received on the FDIO, Fairbanks Approach Control, or Anchorage ARTCC
Local filing
All flight plans must befiled through base operations or unit operations except:
-BLM: file at the BLM dispatch office
- Maintenance Test flights: file through ground control to include:
•Aircraft I’d and type
•Area of flight
•Estimated time enroute
•Fuel on board (FOB)
•Number of personnel on board (POB)
In-flight filing: Tower
Upon request when traffic density permits, file local IFR flight plans via radar vectors for the purposes of practice instrument approaches. In this case, ATCT will assign the aircraft a transponder code, notify approach control on intentions and request assigned altitude, standard departure heading will be issued, and aircraft will hold for release.
Action upon receipt of in-flight following: IFR
Post FDIO-generated flight strips in the appropriate bay on the ground control console.
Action upon receipt of in-flight following: VFR
Record a information on flight progress strips
Action upon receipt of in-flight following: SVFR
Record information on flight progress strips
Action upon receipt of in-flight following: maintenance Test flights
Record information on flight progress strips
Action upon receipt of in-flight following: flight following
Record information on FAA form 7230 - 8 for limited flight following from the local control position
In-flight filing procedures: forwarding information
The controller assigned to flight data position shall forward all information received on flight movements to the appropriate facilities as soon as possible after receiving it.
This includes but is not limited to:
-arrival and departure times
- request for IFR releases
- missed approaches
- changes on flight plans
- information on emergency aircraft
First step after approval of flight following
After approval, instruct the aircraft to report every 30 minutes after the approval/reported time.
Flight following procedures-
If reliable radio communications cannot be maintained, instruct the aircraft that what?
That flight following services are terminated, and to contact the appropriate ATC facility or flight service station (FSS).
What do you do if an aircraft using flight following does not report within 30 minutes?
If aircraft does not reports within 30 minutes, attempt to contact. If still unsuccessful, attempt contact on guard frequencies. If still unsuccessful, check with adjacent facilities. Utilize any methods you need necessary to locate the aircraft.
When is an aircraft considered overdue and what are the next steps?
An aircraft is overdue/unreported 1 hour after the last radio contact with the tower. If you are unable to find the aircraft within the hour, contact base ops (if open), and have them initiate search and rescuer procedures.If base ops is closed, contact FAI FSS. Provide maximum assistance during the search and rescue
Where will flight strips be marked w/ flight following information?
Flight strips will be marked with the current time and location. Continued reporting will be on left side block 9 of flight strip in descending order.
When may traffic advisories be given to aircraft receiving flight following services?
Traffic advisories may be given to aircraft receiving flight following service. This is solely at the local controllers discretion depending on workload, and is given as an and to pilots operating in the same vicinity.
Interphone priorities: #2
2) clearances and control instructions.
Interphone priorities: #3
3) movement and control messages using the following order of precedence when possible:
- progress report
- departure or arrival reports
- flight plans
Interphone priorities: #4
4) movement messages on VFR aircraft.
