Order 7110.65P, Air Traffic Control, with changes

7110.65P 2/19/04f. Before a determination is made to have anaircraft in distress be escorted by another aircraft, askthe pilots if they are familiar with and capable offormation flight.1. Do not allow aircraft to join up in formationduring emergency conditions, unless:(a) The pilots involved are familiar with andcapable of formation flight.(b) They can communicate with one another,and have visual contact with each other.2. If there is a need for aircraft that are notdesignated as search and rescue aircraft to get closerto one another than radar separation standards allow,the maneuver shall be accomplished, visually, by theaircraft involved.10−1−5. COORDINATIONCoordinate efforts to the extent possible to assist anyaircraft believed overdue, lost, or in emergencystatus.10−1−6. AIRPORT GROUND EMERGENCYTERMINALa. When an emergency occurs on the airportproper, control other air and ground traffic to avoidconflicts in the area where the emergency is beinghandled. This also applies when routes within theairport proper are required for movement of localemergency equipment going to or from an emergencywhich occurs outside the airport proper.NOTE−Aircraft operated in proximity to accident or otheremergency or disaster locations may cause hindrances toairborne and surface rescue or relief operations.Congestion, distraction or other effects, such as waketurbulence from nearby airplanes and helicopters, couldprevent or delay proper execution of these operations.REFERENCE−FAAO 7210.3, Chapter 18, Section 4. Temporary Flight Restrictions.14 CFR Section 91.137, Temporary Flight Restrictions.b. Workload permitting, monitor the progress ofemergency vehicles responding to a situation. Ifnecessary, provide available information to assistresponders in finding the accident/incident scene.10−1−7. INFLIGHT EMERGENCIES INVOLVINGMILITARY FIGHTER-TYPE AIRCRAFTa. The design and complexity of militaryfighter-type aircraft places an extremely highworkload on the pilot during an inflight emergency.The pilot’s full attention is required to maintaincontrol of the aircraft. Therefore, radio frequency andtransponder code changes should be avoided andradio transmissions held to a minimum, especiallywhen the aircraft experiencing the emergency is atlow altitude.b. Pilots of military fighter−type aircraft, normallysingle engine, experiencing or anticipating loss ofengine power or control may execute a flameoutpattern in an emergency situation. Circumstancesmay dictate that the pilot, depending on the positionand nature of the emergency, modify the patternbased on actual emergency recovery requirements.c. Military airfields with an assigned flyingmission may conduct practice emergency approaches.Participating units maintain specificprocedures for conducting these operations.REFERENCE−FAAO 7110.65, Simulated Flameout (SFO) Approaches/EmergencyLanding Pattern (ELP) Operations/Practice Precautionary Approaches,Para 3−10−13.10−1−2General
