PARAGRAPH NUMBER AND TITLE: 1-2-4. WORD MEANINGS
2. BACKGROUND:
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued Order 1000.36, FAA Writing
Standards, to ensure that plain language standards apply to all FAA-written
documents. Plain language standards use “must” as a word of requirement
(indicating that an action is mandatory) rather than the word “shall,” which is
more ambiguous, regularly misused, breeds litigation, and is not used in common
speech. Throughout the Air Traffic Directives (such as FAA Order JO 7110.65 and
FAA Order JO 7210.3), both “must” and “shall” are used, though “must” is not
currently defined. This DCP adds the definition of “must” and clarifies word
usage. Additional information on “must versus shall” and plain language benefits
are available at http://www.plainlanguage.gov.

1. PARAGRAPH NUMBER AND
TITLE: 1-2-5. ABBREVIATIONS, and 4-7-4. UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT (UFO)
REPORTS
2. BACKGROUND:
Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) is a new organization that is
devoted to exploration of extremely advanced aerospace technology, including the
so-called unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) or unidentified flying object
(UFO) topics. In 2001, another of Mr. Bigelow's organizations, the National
Institute for Discovery Sciences (NIDS), succeeded in becoming the “go-to”
organization for the reporting by pilots and air traffic control of UFOs in the
United States. NIDS is now defunct and has been replaced by the larger, more
capable BAASS. Therefore, pilot and air traffic control reporting of UFOs in the
United States should now go to BAASS, vice NIDS. So we are deleting the NIDS
acronym and adding the BAASS acronym.
Also, an editorial change modifies the meaning of the acronym DP and removes
Weather Service Forecast Office (WSFO) which has been replaced with Weather
Forecast Office (WFO).

2. BACKGROUND: On
Febuary 17, 2009, the Washington DC ADIZ was changed by rulemaking to the
Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA). The procedures that will be used for the SFRA
are the same as for a land based ADIZ. Additionally, since Washington ARTCC may
have to assume the airspace if Potomac TRACON went ATC-0, the reference to
Terminal was deleted.

any given time. At the ATCSCC, the national traffic management officer (NTMO),
traffic management specialist-in-charge (TMSIC), and traffic management
specialist (TMS) work as a team in order to accomplish the traffic management
goals of an entire operational area. Due to the management functionality
involved in overseeing the NAS, more than one NTMO, TMSIC, and/or TMS can be
signed on and responsible for an open and/or consolidated control position.

1. PARAGRAPH NUMBER AND
TITLE: 4-6-6. FAA FORM 7230-10, POSITION LOG
2. BACKGROUND: In
recent years, many new terminal position types have been created, but the order
has not been updated to reflect them. Additionally, in the absence of a revised
order listing the names of the new position types, facilities have been making
up their own names for certain types of positions. There has been no consistency
in the names they have used. Consequently, when facilities enter position types
into the computer (for example, to update “Business Objects”), it is difficult
to relate the information from one facility to the information provided by
another facility.

2. BACKGROUND:
Anchorage ARTCC (ZAN) is not receiving all military flight plans on aircraft
operating to or through the Anchorage Flight Information Regions (FIR). ZAN is
an international facility that requires all flight plans be received in ICAO
format. Altitude Reservations (ALTRV) and other military flight plans are often
entered by Flight Data or the Military Operations Specialist (MOS) at other
facilities. ZAN uses two systems, Flight Data Processing 2000 (FDP2000) and
Ocean 21, one being primarily domestic and the other oceanic. ZAN requires
flight plans be addressed to both systems (PAZAZQZX {FDP2000}, PAZNZQZX
{Ocean21}).
