Standard Communications is amended to include the need to send a diversion report even in the event of an air turn back.
15.2.9 Communication with Company in Contingency
◊ The following should be used to initiate company communications in flight:
1. Send a position report
2. Send an ACARS diversion report if the aircraft is not landing at its planned destination, including in the event of an air turn back
3. If sending the ACARS diversion reports fails or is not possible, use any other available means to contact SMNC.
Background:
Recently an aircraft turned back to its departure airport shortly after take off and no diversion report was sent. As the ACARS diversion report triggers automated systems under control of the SMNC, this is an important step whenever not landing at planned destination. In case the report cannot be sent, any other available means to contact SMNC can be used to inform the Company of a diversion from planned destination.
So what happened to:
AVIATE
NAVIGATE
COMMUNICATE
:confused:
