Chapter 2. General Information

8240.36N 08/30/2015 Chapter 2. General Information 1. FIRPS Access. Flight Inspection Field Office Mangers will request individual access to the web- based FIRPS interface in accordance with the FIRPS User Manual (select HELP on the main menu to access the FIRPS User Manual). Access FIRPS via the KSN Mission Planning website, or at http://fiog.faa.gov/firps/ . Contact the Technical Services Team (405-954-1234) or the ATO Help Desk (405-954-4002) if having trouble accessing FIRPS.

2. FIRPS Description. FIRPS is a web-based system which simplifies the flight inspection reporting, storage, and data retrieval process. The system standardizes reports, expedites the reporting timeline, reduces errors, and tracks changes. FIRPS incorporates up-to-date computer-generated forms and auto- fills common data from the Flight Operations Management System (FOMS), Daily Flight Log (DFL), and the AIRNAV database.

3. FIRPS Report Life-Cycle. Flight Inspection Reports follow a five-stage life-cycle, each stage with its own status identifiers as shown: Stage 1: Create Report (Crew) - Pending (P) - Rejected (R) Stage 2: Report Review (Crew) - PIC Review (PR) - Tech Review (TR) Stage 3: Quality Control Review (FIFO) - Quality Control (QC) Stage 4: Records Review (FIS Administration) - Records Review (RR) - Specialist Review (SR) - Awaiting Recordings (AR) - Recordings Sent (RS) Stage 5: Archive Report (FIS Administration) Stage 1 begins the date of final inspection, as determined by the DFL. The designated Airspace System Inspection Pilot (normally the PIC) is responsible for on-time report completion. A report is considered incomplete until it reaches the “Awaiting Recordings” status in Stage 4. If a report is rejected, it returns to Stage 1 for crew edit, and is still considered incomplete. Reports not reaching AR status within 60 calendar days of the inspection date are considered “overdue.” EXCEPTION: The crew must submit after-accident reports no later than 72 hours after the flight inspection. The Flight Inspection Services Technical Services Team will review the report, and ensure it is Archived not later than seven (7) calendar days after the flight inspection. See Appendix L for After Accident reporting requirements.

8240.36N 08/30/2015 4. DFL & Underlying NAVAIDs. FIRPS is dependent upon complete and accurate DFL entries.

DFL changes may affect FIRPS line items. Therefore, the PIC and MS will ensure reports accurately reflect DFL changes until the report reaches the “Awaiting Recordings” status in Stage 4. When completing the DFL, include an instance of each inspected underlying NAVAID with the appropriate Instrument Flight Procedure (IFP). If multiple instances of the same NAVAID appear on a DFL, select “skip report” on all but the first instance of that NAVAID, unless the crew intends to create separate reports for the NAVAID.

5. Grouping FIRPS Line Items. Group supporting NAVAIDs together in FIRPS (e.g., LOC & GS, or VOR & TACAN). Group only one underlying NAVAID with one or more associated IFP. When more than one NAVAID facility is associated with IFP inspection(s), group IFP(s) with the primary NAVAID, if applicable. Report the additional NAVAIDs separately.

Example 1: Cat I, Cat II, and Cat III ILS Procedures are grouped with the LOC and GS, and reported on an ILS form.

Example 2: Reconfigured GS antenna may be grouped with a LOC periodic inspection of the same ILS facility.

Example 3: VOR ABC and XYZ are underlying NAVAIDS to 3 inspected STAR procedures. ABC seems to be the primary NAVAID. Group ABC with the STARs, then report XYZ separately.

6. Creating a New FIRPS Report. Click on “Select Action” then “Create Report” from the dropdown list. Select the appropriate report form. Verify the correct radio button is highlighted before making the final selection.

7. Adding Report Continuation Sheets. Once the form is created, open the form and select the green “plus” in the upper right corner. Select the appropriate continuation sheet.

8. General Characteristics Form. Report textual departure procedures (ODPs), Wide Area Multilateration (WAM), and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) inspections on the General Characteristics form. Note: Report ADS-B inspections in accordance with FAA Order 8200.45. Use the General Characteristics form when no other form applies.

9. Flight Inspection Results. Report results (measured and/or observed) as required by the flight inspection checklists contained in FAA Order 8200.1. For special inspections, convey in the remarks the flight inspection requirements and final results.

a. Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory . Satisfactory may be designated “SAT" or “S” and Unsatisfactory may be designated "UNSAT" or “U.” Explain unsatisfactory results in the remarks.

b. Asterisk (*). An asterisk identifies items requiring clarification and/or explanation in the remarks. Other symbols may be used to avoid confusion (e.g., #, $, +).

c. Non-Applicable Items. Leave items blank when not applicable to the inspection, unless specified otherwise.

8240.36N 08/30/2015 d. Accuracies. Unless otherwise stated, report numerical data using the following accuracies: (1) Microamperes - Nearest whole microampere (2) Altitude - Nearest foot, mean sea level (MSL) (3) Azimuth - Nearest tenth of a degree (4) Percent - Nearest tenth of a percent (5) Mileage - Nearest tenth of a nautical mile (NM) (6) Angle - Nearest hundredth of a degree (7) Width - Nearest hundredth of a degree (8) Coordinates - Degrees, minutes, seconds, and hundredths of a second (9) Rounding – Round in accordance with FAA Order 8200.1, United States Standard Flight Inspection Manual, paragraph A2.11.b. When averaging multiple measurements, do not apply rounding criteria until the final calculation. Round 1 - 5 DOWN to zero. Round 6 - 9 UP to the next higher value.

Exception: If a measurement exceeds the tolerance prior to rounding, do not round into tolerance.

Examples: Glidepath Course Width: 0.755 ° = 0.75 ° 0.756 ° = 0.76 ° PAPI Measurements: Run 1 - 3.23º & 2.74º = Angle 2.985º Run 2 - 3.25º & 2.70º = Angle 2.975º Averaged Angle: 2.98º (not 2.97º) Glidepath Course Width: 0.903 ° is out of tolerance 10. Report Editing . The crew may edit a report while it is in Stages 1-4. However, when a report reaches “Records Review/Specialist Review” in Stage 4, the crew must contact the Flight Inspection Records Team (405-954-1862) and request the report be returned for editing. The report will appear in the “Rejected” list and return to Stage 1 for crew editing. The report is incomplete until reaching the “Awaiting Recordings” status in Stage 4.

8240.36N 08/30/2015 11. Report Amendments. Reports reaching “Awaiting Recordings” status in Stage 4 are considered “Archived” and can no longer be edited. Therefore, any change(s) will be recorded on an amended report. Search for the archived report in FIRPS and click on “Select Action.” Select “Amend Archived Report” to generate a new worklist item, as identified by the “Push Pin” icon. The report status will become “Pending” (P), and the amendment number will appear at the top of the report form.

Explain the reason(s) for the amendment as well as the extent of the changes in the remarks. Amended reports follow the same flow through FIRPS, but will remain on the original timeline. Complete amendments as soon as possible. NOTE: For After Accident (AA) amendments, notify the Flight Inspection Records Team (405-954-1862). The most current AA report will be the final report submitted to the investigating authority.

12. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Reports. Report RFI investigations on the form designated for the type facility impacted by suspected interference.

13. Surveillance Inspection Reports . Report surveillance inspections on the appropriate facility form (e.g., ILS, VOR, LIGHTS, etc.).

14. Incomplete Inspection. When a crew is unable to complete an inspection, explain exactly what was inspected in the remarks, and the status. The crew completing the inspection may include these results on the final inspection report, and will include a remark referencing the incomplete inspection report(s).

15. ILS/MLS Maintenance Alert Report. In the event maintenance personnel are not on site during the ILS inspection, the flight inspection crew will submit ILS/MLS Maintenance Alert data to the FICO no later than the end of the duty day. The FICO will complete and submit the ILS/MLS Maintenance Alert Report within 24 hours of the inspection, as required by FAA Order 8200.1, Chapter 15, paragraph f, and in accordance with Appendix I of this Order.

16. AIRNAV Data Changes. Submit AIRNAV data changes as directed by FAA Order 8200.1, and in accordance with Appendix O of this Order. Explain in the remarks any data changes affecting the flight inspection (reference Chapter 3, paragraph 5.n).

17. Security Classification.

a. Guidance. The military organization requiring flight inspection report classification must provide guidance to FIS by letter or message. FIS must maintain this guidance to justify the initial classification determination (DOD 5200.1-R, Department of Defense Information Security Program Regulation).

b. Classification Markings . Flight inspection reports containing classified information must be marked in accordance with FAA Order 1600.2, National Security Information. Markings will show the degree of classification; name and routing symbol of the FAA employee applying the classification; authority for classification (reference to the military element's letter or message); safeguarding instructions and/or exemption category. If an exemption category is provided, the date when the report may be declassified will also be provided (if it can be determined). Specific marking instructions can be obtained from the servicing FAA security office. Do not list military unit designations or operational details in flight inspection reports.

8240.36N 08/30/2015 c. Report Control . Control, handling, storage, and transmission of classified flight inspection reports must be accomplished in accordance with FAA Order 1600.2.

d. Files . FIFO(s) must not maintain classified flight inspection facility report files. The Flight Inspection Records Team must contact the Civil Aviation Security Division, AMC-700, and obtain a security control number for all classified reports.

18. Shipping Recorded Data. The Mission Specialist will upload digital flight inspection data files directly into the Flight Operations Management System (FOMS) within one business day of return from a mission itinerary. The Mission Specialist will ship legacy flight inspection recordings (i.e., paper) to the Flight Inspection Records team no later than 15 days after the report reaches Stage 4 “Awaiting Recordings” (AR) status. Ship using the following guidance: a. Securely tape a copy of the first page of the flight inspection report (draft or final) to the outside of the recordings or envelope, or annotate the following information on the cover page of each recording: • Facility Identification and Type • Date(s) of Inspection • Type of Inspection, (e.g., C, S, P, PM, POA) • Aircraft Tail Number • Crew Member Numbers b. Securely tape the recordings (all 4 sides) together. For a large stack of recordings, an envelope may be used.

c. Place a copy of the AIRNAV datasheets used, worksheets, and other required paperwork inside the recording folds. Include a copy of any data changes (FAA Form 8240-20), as applicable.

d. Ship in a box or fabric mailer. Do not use padded envelopes.

e. Include the contents listing with each shipment. The list will include facility idents, facility type, and the inspection date(s).

Chapter 3. Common Report Information

8240.36N 08/30/2015 Chapter 3. Common Report Information 1. Flight Inspection Report Header. Reports headers contain similar fields, most of which are automatically filled. The Pilot in Command (PIC) and Mission Specialist (MS) will review each pre - filled block for accuracy, and make necessary corrections. Use the following guidance when completing the header block.

a. Ident. Enter the NAVAID, Instrument Flight Procedure, Route, FIX, or “Ident” as listed on the Flight Itinerary and DFL. The following specific guidance applies.

(1) NAVAID. Use the identifier listed on the AIRNAV datasheet. For ARSR facilities, use the identifier of the controlling ARTCC, with the appropriate alpha subcode. For example, Kansas City ARTCC identifier is ZKC, and the subcode may be “A” = ZKCA. For PAR facilities, enter the ident listed on the AIRNAV datasheet for the specific runway. Report only one runway identifier per PAR report.

(2) Procedure(s) or FIX. If grouped with a facility report, use the facility identifier. For RNAV procedures, use the identifier specified on the itinerary. Note: Amended RNAV procedures may include a decimal number identifier, corresponding to the revision (e.g., KDFW35C.03).

(3) Charted Visual Flight Procedure (CVFP). Use the airport identifier, as listed on the AIRNAV datasheet.

(4) Lighting Systems. Requires separate reports for each runway end inspected. The lighting system identifier will normally be the airport identifier (as listed on the AIRNAV datasheet) plus the runway number (e.g., KOKC35L). For general lighting not affiliated with a runway or approach (i.e., taxiways), use the airport identifier.

(5) Controlling Obstacle Evaluation. Use the airport identifier, as listed on the AIRNAV datasheet.

(6) Communications. Use the controlling facility identifier, as listed on the AIRNAV datasheet. For example, ZFW, KSLC.

b. State & Ctry. Select the appropriate state and country dropdown entry. Leave the STATE field blank if not in the U.S. The country must match the AIRNAV datasheet.

8240.36N 08/30/2015 c. Inspection Date(s). The inspection date is based on actual Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and date(s) listed on the Daily Flight Log (DFL). Use the following examples: Inspection Description Example Single Day Inspection 02/01/201 4 Multiple, Consecutive Days 01/12-15/20 14 ple, Non-Consecutive Days 08/06, 08, 10/2014 Multi ple, Consecutive & Non-Consecutive Days 09/30, 11/02-03/2014 Multi d. Location.

(1) Ground-based Facility Reports (ILS, VOR, NDB, ASR, etc.). Enter the facility location as listed on the AIRNAV datasheet. If a radar facility has more than one location, and the locations do not fit in the field, place an asterisk and explain in the remarks . Do not confuse ASR antenna location with ASR scope location.

(2) IFPs Reported on a General Characteristics or RNAV form. The location is the city as listed on the Flight Inspection Procedure Control (FIPC) form.

(3) Routes and Stand-Alone Point-in-Space Fixes. Leave the location blank.

(4) Shipboard TACAN. Enter the ship name and hull number. For example, USS Princeton – CVL-23.

e. Runway. Applicable to PAR, ILS, MLS and RNAV reports only. Enter the runway listed in the SIAP title. For circling approaches, SIDs, or STARs, leave blank.

f. Category. Applicable to ILS and MLS reports only. Enter the category as specified on the AIRNAV datasheet (CAT I, II, or III).

g. Ctrl Number. This field (on the RNAV form only) is no longer used. List each applicable special control number in the remarks.

h. Insp Type. There are five basic flight inspection categories: Site Evaluation, Commissioning, Specials, Periodic, and Surveillance. Specials include Reconfiguration, After Accident, RFI, Scheduled, and Unscheduled inspections. Reports may include multiple inspection items, but must have a single inspection type code. The inspection type code may include one or more suffix code(s).

Use Table 3-1 to determine the proper inspection type code and suffix(es). Give preference to the code highest on the list, to prevent essential data from being incorrectly purged from FIRPS. For example, a commissioning inspection supersedes a special inspection. Likewise, a reconfiguration special supersedes a scheduled special and/or periodic inspection.

NOTE: This hierarchy is not to be confused with the “Priorities of Flight Inspections,” listed in FAA Order 8200.1, Chapter 4.

8240.36N 08/30/2015 Table 3-1. Inspection Type Codes NSPECTION TYPE CODES I E SITE EVALUATION C COMMISSIONING INSPECTION SPECIALS: Reconfiguration (Usually a commissioning type inspection) R A After Accident (Includes “Near Mid-Air” RADAR inspections) Z Radio Frequency Interference S Scheduled (Shipboard TACAN Special inspections are always “complete”) U Unscheduled P PERIODIC INSPECTION V SURVEILLANCE INSPECTION ( Surveillance Inspections are always “complete”) UFFIXES S Incomplete Inspection: Indicates one or more inspection requirement is incomplete. Explain I in the remarks. NOTE: When the inspection is completed, all report requirements may be consolidated onto the final report. FOMS special control number remains “open.” Unsatisfactory Procedure: Applies only to Instrument Flight Procedure inspections. Does not apply to facility inspections (VOR, ILS, ASR, etc.). Indicates the inspection requirement U is completed but unsatisfactory. FIS will return the procedure to the designer for rework.

FOMS special control number is “closed.” Changes to Procedure: Applies only to Instrument Flight Procedure inspections. Does not apply to facility inspections (VOR, ILS, ASR, etc.) Indicates the inspection requirement is C completed and satisfactory, so long as the listed changes are incorporated into the procedure prior to publication. An additional flight inspection is not required.

In addition to the FICO special control number, explain the reason for the inspection, ensuring remarks are consise and easy to understand. (e.g., “Reconfiguration for new FAS data and circling mins” or “Special for VOR antenna replacement.”) Explanations are not required for shipboard TACAN inspections.

d. Periodic Requirements. When a Special, Reconfiguration, or Surveillance type inspection meets periodic requirements, enter a statement in the remarks.

Examples: - Periodic requirements met - Periodic with orbit requirements met - Periodic with monitors requirements met - LOC periodic with monitors met - GS periodic with monitors met - XMTR #1 – Periodic requirements met; XMTR #2 – Out of Service NOTE: For After Accident inspections, reference Appendix L when updating periodicity.

NOTE: For OPSNET and/or specially designated “Night Inspection” airports/runways, the FICO schedules SIAP obstacle evaluations using the DFL code “ROC” (also known as the “A” check) during daylight hours, independent from nighttime periodic inspections. If periodic requirements were met during night ops, with the exception of the obstacle verification, remark “periodic requirements met, except for obstacle verification.” e. SIAP required, but not inspected. Enter a remark identifying the name of the SIAP(s) and the statement, “required, but not inspected.” Give an explanation.

f. ARINC Coding Meets Gold Standard . If the ARINC coding passed the Flight Inspection Services Coding Preflight Validation (CPV) process, and was verified satisfactory by flight inspection, the INSP TYPE should contain a G suffix. This also applies when the procedure is “SAT w/Changes,” so long as the changes do not affect the ARINC coding.

g. Lighting Systems. Use the “Lighting Systems” field (if present) to report the status of already- commissioned lighting systems designed to support reduced visibility minima. These systems include Approach Light Systems (ALS), High Intensity Runway Lights (HIRL), Touchdown Zone Lights (TDZL), and Runway Centerline Lighting Systems (CL). Select SAT if the lighting system(s) safely supported the SIAP. Leave blank if this type lighting system is not installed, or was not inspected. If a hazard to safety was found, select UNSAT and enter a remark identifying the type lighting system and the discrepancy details. If a “Lighting Systems” field is not present and a hazard to safety was found, a remark is required (e.g., “MALSR Rwy 27, UNSAT; threshold light bar and RAIL inoperative”).

NOTE: Lighting System Commissioning, Reconfiguration, or Special inspections are reported on FAA Form 8240-5 (see Appendix D).

8240.36N 08/30/2015 h. Unsatisfactory Vertical Descent Angle (VDA). When VDA advisory guidance is unsatisfactory for obstacle clearance, but the remaining ARINC coding and SIAP are satisfactory, include the remark "SIAP verified SAT IAW FAA Order 8200.1, USSFIM, except VDA data must be removed from ARINC coding and not charted." Do not use the G suffix on the INSP TYPE, since the coding does not meet the Gold Standard. Include specific details about the location and description of the obstacle(s) penetrating the VDA. Coordinates are desirable, however distance from threshold and offset from centerline is acceptable.

i. Contingency or Natural Disaster Flight Inspection. For military contingency or natural disaster flight inspections, do not select “SAT” in the “SIAP(s) Verified” field. Instead, enter one of the following statements: - SIAP(s) inspected IAW Military Contingency Flight Inspection Procedures - SIAP(s) inspected IAW Natural Disaster Flight Inspection Procedures j. No Electronic Data Required. When procedure changes do not require recorded data (Example: MDA raised; controlling obstacle changed with no minima change; fix added within the FISSV), include the statement, “No electronic data required.” k. Reference Affiliated Reports. When multiple facilities are inspected, each affiliated with a common IFP but not grouped together on a single report, add a remark to each report. For example: - ABC Report: “Reference XYZ report, 10/15/2014, for additional data.” - XYZ Report: “Part of Special # OP-01-011-14, HAPPY 2 ARRIVAL. Reference ABC report, same date.” l . Out-of-Tolerance Conditions.

(1) Identify and describe each out-of-tolerance or unsatisfactory condition. Where there is no provision to identify an out-of-tolerance condition (e.g., FAA Form 8240-2, Field 7), place a symbol next to the “as left” data. In the remarks, place a corresponding symbol and describe the condition and/or status (corrected/ uncorrected).

(2) Military Facilities. For an out-of-tolerance condition found on a military-owned facility or procedure, remark who the crew advised, the initials of military representative (if available), and the date (e.g., “Notified tower controller, “JB”, 04/26/2015”).

m. Narrative Remarks. Use factual statements and plain language when describing flight inspection results, restrictions, unsatisfactory conditions, unusable facilities/IFPs, etc. Do not go into detail regarding adjustments to obtain the final result (unless the inspection was an engineering project designed specifically to determine the effect of adjustments or facility configurations). Do not attempt to determine causal relationships based on observations. For example: (1) Observation (Permissible): "The facility structure deteriorated at 210 ° . Crew observed in- progress highway construction southwest of the NAVAID toward the bad sector."

8240.36N 08/30/2015 (2) Unsubstantiated Conclusion (Prohibited): "Highway construction southwest of the NAVAID is causing course structure deterioration at 210 ° .” n. Data Change Remarks. If the AIRNAV datasheet location, identifier and/or equipment changed, include a remark containing both the old and new information on the first report following the change. Explain the reason for the change, if known.

o. Expanded Service Volume (ESV). Include an ESV remark on the primary facility report. The remark should contain the inspection details, the fix name (if applicable), and whether the inspection was an original or revalidation ESV request. If unsatisfactory, provide an explanation.

(1) VOR/TACAN/NDB. List the facility ident, facility component/ azimuth (radial, or starting and ending radials bounding an arc)/ ESV distance (in NM)/ minimum ESV reception altitude (lower limit), and status. A TACAN ESV reported SAT implies both the azimuth and DME were satisfactory.

However, if only one component of the TACAN is inspected, or the status differs between the azimuth and DME, create separate remarks for each component (i.e., TAC/DME or TAC/AZ). Report the ESV upper limit only if inspected (by request).

Examples: “ESV: IRW / VOR / R-090 / 45.0NM / 16,000ft / Original / SAT” “ESV: IRW / DME / R-090 / 45.0NM / 16,000ft / Revalidation / UNSAT. Numerous unlocks beyond 41.0 NM” (2) LOC/GS/ILSDME. Both lower and upper limits are required for LOC, ILS-DME, and TLS ESVs. Azimuth is not required if the ESV extends along the LOC course.

Examples: “ESV: LAX / LOC / “FUELR” fix / 27.0NM / 7,000-17,500ft / Orig / SAT” “ESV: LAX / ILS-DME / “FUELR” fix / 27.0NM / 4,600-9,700ft / Revalidation / SAT” “ESV: LAX / GS / 27.0NM / 8,100ft / Orig / SAT” p. 75 MHz Marker Beacons. Document on the primary NAVAID report, (e.g., VOR, ILS, NDB).

(1) Commissioning and Reconfigurations. List each checklist item inspected and the status. If dual equipment is installed, document the minor axis width for both transmitters.

(2) Periodic Inspections. For non-ILS, enter a statement to indicate the marker was checked satisfactorily (Example: 75 MHz marker checked, SAT). For ILS, use the designated field in block 3.

q. Weather Broadcast Information. On commissioning reports only, list the weather broadcast capabilities for each facility inspected.

8240.36N 08/30/2015 r. Critical Area Interference Checks. When accomplished, add the remark “The FAA does not consider this flight inspection as a valid check of interference caused by aircraft/vehicles in the ILS critical zone.” s. Structure Tolerance (95% Rule) . Notify the FICO when the structure tolerance 95% rule is applied to a Category II/ III facility. The FICO must notify the applicable service area or military command engineering staff upon initial application of these criteria. Add the remark “FICO notified, 95% rule applied.” (Reference FAA Order 8200.1, Chapter 15).

t. MAGVAR Change Inspection . For rho-theta and NDB magnetic variation change inspections, add remarks detailing the published facility restriction, receiver checkpoint, and ESV radial changes based on the MAGVAR change. For example, a published coverage restriction of 210 - 250 ° would be changed to 214 - 254 ° after a MAGVAR change from 2 ° West to 6 ° West. Submit the appropriate changes to the Aeronautical Data Support Team on FAA Form 8240-20.

u. Completion of Previously Incompleted Inspection. Add a remark indicating the check completes the inspection requirements of the report dated mm/dd/yy. (Example: This completes the requirements for the inspection dated 02/11/02). (Reference Chapter 2, Paragraph 14.)

v. RFI Checks. Enter a narrative describing the reason for the inspection, checks performed, and the results obtained. Provide a physical description and latitude/ longitude of suspected interference source. For incomplete or unsuccessful checks, report bearings obtained, and aircraft location.

Provide any information that may help another crew locate the RFI source.

w. 1800 RVR. When a CAT I ILS facility fails to support a SIAP authorizing approaches with 1800 RVR, using a Flight Director (FD), Autopilot (AP), or Heads-up Display (HUD) to the Decision Altitude (DA), include the remark, “System does not meet the 1800 RVR requirements. NOTAM issued through FICO, and Flight Inspection Technical Services Team notified (date)”. Include a copy of the NOTAM on the report.

x. Other . Reference the applicable appendix for additional required remarks.

08/30/2015 8240.36N Appendix B Appendix B. Rho-Theta Systems FAA Form 8240-2 Use FAA Form 8240-2 to report Rho-Theta inspections and instrument flight procedures (IFPs) dependent primarily upon the rho-theta facility.

1. Flight Inspection Report Header. Complete in accordance with Chapter 3.

2. Crew Information. Complete in accordance with Chapter 3.

3. Facility Information.

a. VOR, TACAN, VOT, DME Coverage and DME Accuracy. For each applicable item, select either “Inspected” or “Required, Not Inspected*.” If an inspection was required, but not inspected, explain in the remarks. For VOT inspections, select “Inspected/ PIR” only if a PIR was used during inspection. For DME, specify the status of the inspection. If unsatisfactory, explain in the remarks.

b. Voice. Select “LIVE” and report the status of a live voice inspection. If not capable of broadcasting live voice, leave blank. Select the applicable recorded voice transmissions (i.e., ATIS, AWOS, HIWAS, TWEB, Other*) when the facility is supposed to broadcast the recording, and report the the status. If the system is not broadcasting a recording, but source documentation shows it is supposed to broadcast, select Unsat* and explain in the remarks. List applicable NOTAMs, in accordance with Chapter 3.

c. Standby Power and Ident. Select each item inspected and report the status.

d. Facility Type. Select the appropriate facility type, as determined by the AIRNAV datasheet.

e. Facility Status. Facility status classification is determined in accordance with FAA Order 8200.1, Chapter 5. Select the “as left” condition. Explain an “unusable” or “restricted” classification in the remarks, and include associated NOTAMs in Block 4.

f. SIAP(s) Verified. Complete in accordance with Chapter 3. Include an IFP statement in the remarks for new, changed or amended SIAPs.

4. NOTAM(s). Complete in accordance with Chapter 3.

5. Remarks. In addition to the remarks required in Chapter 3, clearly describe restrictions, unsatisfactory conditions, unusable facilities/ IFPs, and non-standard results. Use FAA Form 8240-1 “Continuation Sheet,” when additional space is required.

a. Receiver Checkpoints. When commissioning or reestablishing a receiver checkpoint or VOR Test Facility, describe in the remarks. For receiver checkpoints, include the type checkpoint, facility name (and airport name, when applicable), azimuth (degrees magnetic from B-1 08/30/2015 8240.36N Appendix B the facility), distance (tenths of a NM), altitude (airborne only), and description. For VOTs, include the facility name (and airport name), frequency, type facility, and description (if applicable).

Examples: - Ground Checkpoint: Enid (Vance AFB); 143 ° ; 0.8NM; On Runup Pad Rwy 35R - Airborne Checkpoint: Will Rogers (Clarence E. Page Muni); 297 ° ; 12.8NM; 2,900ft; AER 35L - Airborne Checkpoint: Midland; 224 ° ; 11.0NM; 4,000ft; Over Odessa water tank - VOT: Oklahoma City Rogers (Will Rogers World Airport); 108.8; Airborne and Ground; Within 10NM radius between 3000’ and 5000’ VOT unusable east of Rwy 17L-35R.

- VOT: San Antonio International; 110.4; Ground b. Radial Alignment. Include the remark, “Flight Inspection Services Technical Services Team authorized radial alignment in lieu of an alignment orbit.” c. Reference Alignment. Indicate the date the crew notified maintenance of the ARR/ orbit reference alignment establishment/ re-establishment, (reference FAA Order 8200.1, Chapter 11).

d. Transmitter Changes During Alignment Orbit. Include the following remark, “Transmitter changes were accomplished during the alignment orbit IAW FAAO 8200.1, Paragraph 11.20f(1)(c), beginning with transmitter ___.” e. VOT. When commissioning a VOT, indicate the identification feature (dots or a series of dots that cannot be interpreted as Morse code).

f. VOT Inspected Using a Portable ILS/ VOR Receiver (PIR) .

(1) Record the PIR detected course deviation, modulation levels, and signal strength.

(2) Record the model, serial number, and calibration date of the PIR.

(3) Add the remark, “Flight Inspection Services Technical Standards Team authorized VOT flight inspection via PIR.” (4) Do not add any data in Field 7C (Radial Data) of FAA Form 8240-2.

(5) Place an asterisk in the “Aircraft Number” field.

g. USAF VOR. Enter the modulation value(s) found on at least one radial or arc segment inspected. Report the values using the format modulations/ radial flown or arc/ start - stop radials/ distance(s) to the nearest mile/ MSL altitude divided by 100. Radial Example: B-2 08/30/2015 8240.36N Appendix B AM=30.8, FM=16.4, 9960=29.5/312/16-12/37. Orbital Example: AM=30.9, FM=15.8, 9960=32.1/312 cw 349/40/25.

6. Flight Inspection Data. For a periodic with orbit inspection, report the orbital data in 6A.

Do not enter a date in the “Ref Date” field for periodic data. Completion of both 6A and 6B is required when the reference radial and mean orbital alignment are established/ re-established.

This block should also be completed when there is a need to permanently change flight profiles (e.g., direction, distance and /or altitude). The Data Specialist will transfer data from the flight inspection report to the AIRNAV datasheet whenever there is a date entered in the “Date Established” field.

Enter the azimuth monitor evaluation results when accomplished.

When an out-of-tolerance condition is found during an orbit, report Orbital Data (Block 8).

a. Orbital Data. Enter the mean alignment (e.g., + 0.2). Enter the maximum negative and the maximum positive alignment error (include the sign). FIRPS will automatically calculate and enter the “spread”.

Enter the orbit direction (CW or CCW) under the DIR field.

Enter the altitude divided by 100 in this block when the altitude is the same during the entire orbit. If altitude changes were required during the orbit, annotate in the remarks the different altitude(s) divided by 100 and the radial where the altitude change occurred (e.g., Altitude changed on alignment orbit 50/ 015-090, 60/ 091-135, etc.).

Enter the distance the alignment orbit was flown to the nearest tenth of a mile. If the orbit distance changed during the alignment orbit, annotate in the remarks the distance/radials where the distance changes occurred (Example: Distance changed on alignment orbit 9/ 015-090, 8/ 091-135).

b. Reference Radial/ Monitor. Select “VOR” or “VOT”. This field requires no ARR data, unless a new reference is accomplished or a monitor check is conducted. The ARR data will normally be in the Block 7 Radial Data block of the report.

(1) Reference Radial. For AFIS, enter the azimuth, the segment distance (to the nearest mile), and the altitude flown divided by 100 (Example: 270/ 20-15/ 45). When a Checkpoint is used, enter the azimuth and distance of the reference Checkpoint and the altitude flown divided by 100 (e.g., 265.5/ 18.3/ 45).

For VOT, enter the azimuth 360 ° / from (e.g., 360/ from).

(2) Checkpoint. For VOR monitors evaluated while airborne, enter the location as detailed above for the Reference Radial.

Appendix L. After Accident Continuation Sheet

08/30/2015 8240.36N Appendix L Appendix L. After Accident Continuation Sheet FAA Form 8240-14 1. Purpose. The flight inspection after accident report (AA) must contain facility performance information and other conditions related to an accident or near mid-air collision or incident. The reported information must be obtained during a special AA inspection.

2. Reporting. Complete a flight inspection facility performance report (see Paragraph 4 below) and FAA Form 8240-14, Flight Inspection Report--After Accident Continuation Sheet, (see Paragraph 5 below) for each facility inspection requested following the accident or incident. The objective of the AA reporting procedure is to ensure each report is complete, accurate, and reflects only the facility performance and status, as measured during the AA inspection. Therefore, report only "as found" conditions. The AA report commands the highest priority for a pre-distribution review and final approval. Special distribution requirements and time limitations for distribution are described in Chapter 2. Special review procedures are described in Paragraph 3 below.

a. Incomplete Inspections. If all the requirements of the AA inspection cannot be completed in one inspection (i.e., a visual check of the site area is required but cannot be made due to weather or other factors), the final report must contain the dates and information from all previous inspections.

b. Reporting Corrected Out-of-Tolerance Conditions. Out-of-tolerance conditions found during an AA inspection must not be corrected until after the AA inspection is completed. An AA report will contain the as found condition of the facility and associated equipment (i.e., markers, lights, etc.) Report the out-of-tolerance condition, the corrected condition, and the results of any additional checks on a separate "special" maintenance request (MR) report. Explain the reason for this check in the Remarks block (e.g., special inspection to correct out-of-tolerance conditions found during the AA inspection of (date)).

c. Periodic Update. An after-accident inspection may be used to update the periodic interval if two conditions are met.

• No out-of-tolerance conditions are found.

• All periodic requirements were completed.

In this case, state in the remarks field of the facility performance report that periodic requirements were met.

L-1 08/30/2015 8240.36N Appendix L 3. Special Report Review. The Flight Inspector must complete the AA report in FIRPS. Report completion procedures and QC must be accomplished within 72 hours of the AA inspection. The Flight Inspection Records Team will mark the report “Specialist Review” (SR) in FIRPS, and notify the Flight Inspection Services Technical Services Team when an AA report is entered into SR status. The Technical Services Team will review the report and recommend changes when needed.

When the report is satisfactory, the Technical Services Team will notify the Flight Inspection Records Team for archiving and distribution. If unsatisfactory, the Technical Services Team will return the report to the originator for correction. The Technical Services Team will notify the flight inspector and the office manager of the results of the review. A copy of the final report, along with the worksheets and recordings, must be sent to the Flight Inspection Records Team within 7 calendar days of the inspection date. Final distribution is made in accordance with Chapter 2.
