11 Standardized Aircraft Status Reporting and Briefing
Checklists developed to help insure that air crews: Have the necessary information for communications during their sortie Report their status and situation at key checkpoints during their sortie Downloadable from the DC section of the Wing website ORWG February 2019 Communications Webinar

12 ORWG February 2019 Communications Webinar
Status Checks The following status checks will be used, at a minimum for aircraft status reporting Radio check after engine start – check all VHF-FM channels to be used during the sortie. Wheels Up In area/grid Ops Normal every 30 minutes Departing area/grid Preparing to land and will not be on CAP channels Wheels down ORWG February 2019 Communications Webinar

13 Additional Status Reports
These additional status reports will be used when appropriate: ELT signal first heard Target located Leaving assigned CAP channel Returned to assigned CAP channel ORWG February 2019 Communications Webinar

14 Additional Required Communications
Request permission to deviate from assignment Request permission to leave assigned area Request permission to return to base (RTB) ORWG February 2019 Communications Webinar

15 Communications Briefing Checklist – Air Resources
Checklist is available in the Communications reference volumes and the AIF Tab 8 Should be used during the air crew briefing to insure that all critical communications information are reviewed and all questions answered. ORWG February 2019 Communications Webinar

16 Communications Briefing Checklist – Air Resources
Briefing Item Base call sign briefed Review ICS-205 and copy provided to the crew Assigned Operations Net channel briefed Assigned Tactical Net channel briefed Interoperability channel(s) briefed Lost communications procedures briefed Radio Check Procedure Aircraft must perform a radio check before engine start. Typically, conduct radio check with “Base” Communications on TAC1. TAC1 can be found in G2 and CH005 on the Technisonic radio. If the radio check is unsuccessful, DO NOT TAKE OFF. Contact Air Operations and advise that you were unable to successfully complete a radio check using your CAP radio. You will be given further instructions. ORWG February 2019 Communications Webinar

17 Communications Briefing Checklist – Air Resources
Briefing Item Wheels Up Procedure Once you are wheels up, you must notify “Base” Communications of wheels up and time using your assigned repeater channel. If unable to use the assigned repeater, use TAC1 and try repeater again after 10 minutes to confirm operation and settings. Monitoring CAP Radio In Flight Aircraft must monitor CAP radio (Technisonic Radio) at all times unless special arrangements are made in advance. If unable to monitor CAP radio, such as due to cockpit activity, notify “Base” Communications that you will be off the air due to cockpit activity and provide them with a duration for that. When back monitoring the CAP radio, advise “Base” Communications on assigned channel. Review repeater talk around (RTA) procedures. Operations Normal Check Procedure Every 30 minutes or scheduled by Communication, contact “Base” Communications or HIGHBIRD with an OPS Normal message to include your current position dd mm.m N ddd mm.m W ORWG February 2019 Communications Webinar

18 Communications Briefing Checklist – Air Resources
Briefing Item Pre-Landing Procedure Ten minutes prior to landing, advise “Base” Communications on assigned channel that you are ten minutes out. “Base” Communications will acknowledge and will be expecting you to advise wheels down once you are down. Post-Landing Procedure As soon as possible after landing, advise “Base” Communications on assigned channel that you are have landed with the time. “Base” Communications will acknowledge.. Any special instructions on a FIND or Sighting briefed ORWG February 2019 Communications Webinar
