Flight Operations Summary 21 Emergencies: If an emergency RTB back to WFF is declared by the PIC, ATC will provide emergency handling. (Non-emergency RTB’s will loiter in Atlantic until after dawn.) If required, an emergency landing could occur at night and/or during IMC conditions. Control tower is required for emergency RTB (activate Class D airspace) Other Emergency landing fields: Pax River, KSC, Cherry Point MAS, MAS Station Beaufort, Mayport, Caribbean site (possibly Puerto Rico) DFRC pilots from GHOC will conduct an emergency landing at WFF in the event that WFF pilots are in crew rest.
