Legal description in Code of Federal Regulations:
14 CFR Part 99 - Security Control of Air Traffic


In addition to this graphic, which is posted in the Alaska Supplement as the last item in the Procedures section, pilots should be versed on intercept procedures, should they become involved in such an event. Those procedures are listed as the first items in the Emergency Procedures section, immediately following the printed ADIZ graphic. They are provided here as printed in the Sep 23, 2010 edition. However, you should always consult the current edition as this copy will soon become outdated. View The Page Here(PDF, 28 KB)

Safety

Alaska Flight Services Safety Program

Increase your chances for a safe flight.
Contact your FAA Flight Service Station prior to departure and provide position during your flight. The life you save could be your own.

We are supporting reducing aviation accidents in Alaska by reaching out to pilots, students and operators. We encourage and educate customers on the use and safety enhancing benefits of FAA flight services, i.e. weather briefings, inflight services, emergency services, SVFR operations, flight plan handling, Search and Rescue procedures, AFIS, etc. We conduct flight services safety related outreach activities supporting the reduction of aviation accidents in Alaska to meet or exceed FAA Flight Plan performance targets. Join us in actively reducing accidents.Q: Why use Flights Service Stations?

A: The rate of aviation accidents in Alaska is too high.
See the NTSB website for statistics and information.

A: We are a collection and dissemination point for NOTAMs affecting airspace, airports, communications, and navigation. We may have additional information regarding NOTAMs affecting your intended departure point, route and/or destination.

A: We help ensure your safe arrival. When an aircraft is overdue on a flight plan, we initiate search and rescue (SAR) procedures. We also have enhanced SAR methods available through the eSRS program.

A: We are experienced. Our flight service specialists have lived and worked throughout Alaska. We know and understand its challenges.

A: We maintain a continuous weather watch throughout the region, becoming aware of trends that may not be reflected in the forecasts. We interpret satellite images, weather radar, and monitor remotely located weather cameras on a real-time basis. See the Weather Cameras website for locations of cameras.

A: We have the most current Pilot Weather Reports available and encourage you to pass along the conditions you encounter, so that we may share them with other pilots.

A: We provide emergency services. Should you become disoriented or have an inflight emergency, we can provide you with guidance to successfully land.

Holder and Operator Reports

Slot holder reports reflect the slot allocations as they are historically held. Holder reports do not capture ad hoc schedule adjustments or other short-term changes. The report status date reflects FAA confirmed slot transactions as of that date. In some cases, the reports do not reflect all transfers between mainline carriers marketing flights and the operating regional carriers. Slot holdings are subject to change without notice. Slot operator reports reflect the actual scheduled operation of slots and do not reflect slot holder standings. NOTE: S24 and W24 reports were calculated using an updated algorithm.

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK)

LaGuardia Airport (LGA)

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)

Uneven Transfer Reports (JFK/LGA/DCA)

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for administration of airport slot allocation at Washington's Reagan National Airport under 14 CFR part 93, subparts K and S and at John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport under FAA Orders limiting scheduled operations at those airports. Slot allocation records are maintained by the FAA's Air Traffic Organization and all transfers of slots between operators are subject to prior FAA confirmation in accordance with the applicable rules.

The FAA maintains a list with an informal compilation of transfers of slots other than even, or one-for-one, slot trades at the same airport and excluding transfers between marketing carriers and the carriers operating flights on behalf of the marketing carrier. While the FAA considers the uneven slot transfers more likely than even trades to involve some form of consideration, the FAA has no information on consideration provided, if any, for slot transfers.

Spectrum Engineering AJW-19

Spectrum Mission & Vision

Mission:

We secure, manage, and protect the necessary radio frequency spectrum resources to provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world.

Vision:

We strive to provide superior radio frequency spectrum services and efficiently integrate tomorrow's needs safely into our aerospace system. We work across boundaries to develop innovative solutions for our stakeholders.

The safe transport of all individual flights between airports is based on radio frequencies being available and interference free so that all of the aviation systems function properly. The FAA's Spectrum Engineering Office provides these fundamental services by ensuring radio frequency assets are always clear and available, both now and in the future.

The Spectrum Engineering & Policy Office secures, manages, and protects all civil aviation radio frequency spectrum resources.

Secures by:

  • Coordinating and negotiating with other government agencies, industry, and international partners to obtain appropriate radio spectrum resources for aviation usage.
  • Establishing and issuing policy regarding radio frequency allocations and regulations governing the use of civil aviation radio spectrum.
  • Developing international and domestic civilian aviation radio spectrum policies and standards.

Manages by:

  • Assigning and engineering radio frequencies for the aviation systems.
  • Maintaining the aviation radio spectrum use database.
  • Analyzing new FAA systems requirements and certifying that radio spectrum resources will provide the technical engineering expertise required.
  • Testing new systems and electronic equipment for compatibility with existing NAS systems.

Protects by:

  • Conducting Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) investigations.
  • Conducting Electromagnetic Frequency Analysis.
  • Coordinating with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to enforce the laws against unauthorized broadcast within the aviation protected radio frequencies.
  • Ensuring radio spectrum compatibility and deconfliction between federal and non-federal radio systems.
  • Coordinating with the DoD, DOJ, DHS, DOE, and impacted FAA Lines of Businesses to safely support Electronic Attack and countermeasure testing, training, and real-world operations.

The management and regulation of the use of radio frequencies is becoming more complex as technology rapidly expansions and as demand for wireless applications (cell phones and wireless broadband) continues to soar. At the same time, the safety of operating aviation systems remains of paramount importance. The Spectrum Engineering Office protects the National Airspace System from any potential sources of interference from new wireless systems.
