reply messages, transmit the information, as
necessary, to all original addressees.
8-3-2. ACTION UPON RECEIPT OF INREQ
Stations receiving an INREQ must take the following
action:
a. Search facility records for information regarding the aircraft. Expand the communications search
to include all flight plan area airports along the
proposed route of flight that could accommodate the
aircraft. Notify appropriate ATC facilities. Reply to
the INREQ within 1 hour of receipt with flight plan
and other pertinent information. If unable to complete
the communications search within 1 hour, forward a
status report followed by a final report when the
search is complete.
EXAMPLE-
HNL001 (appropriate three-character identifiers)
INREQ N1234A [status report]
HNL001 (appropriate three-character identifiers)
INREQ N1234A [final report]
NOTE-
Upon receipt of INREQs and ALNOTs, ATCTs and
ARTCCs are required to check facility records, report
findings to the FSS that alerted them within 1 hour, and
retain in an active status until canceled.
REFERENCE-
FAAO JO 7110.65, Para 1034, ALNOT.
b. If the INREQ indicates that the departure
airport, route of flight, destination airport or alternate
airports are within 50 miles of the Great Lakes, notify
Cleveland RCC via recorded telecommunications
line.
c. For facilities that have any portion of their
incoming calls and/or Service B diverted to another
facility, notify that facility of the INREQ. The facility
receiving diverted calls or Service B traffic must
check their records and advise of any information or
contact with the aircraft.
8-3-3. CANCELLATION OF INREQ

message containing the location of the aircraft to all
