When does it have to enter the uncertainty face
Comes 30 minutes late, there is no aircraft report within 60 minutes if it’s a flight planner 24 hours to fly itinerary
When does an aircraft into the alert phase
Communication searches have failed to view any news on the aircraft, aircraft sales twin within five minutes of being cleared to land, information has been received that the operating efficiency of an aircraft is impaired force planning is not necessary
When does an aircraft enter the uncertainty face
And aircraft has exhausted, the operating efficiency has been impaired were forced landing is likely, information is received two or has made a forced wedding
