OBJECTIVES • ACC63-2 • At the conclusion of this lesson, you will: • 1. State emergency conditions and categories, • 2. State emergency assistance procedures • 3. State procedures for handling radar failure • 4. Identify emergency codes • in compliance with ICAO Documents 4444 PANS-RAC, 9426, 9432, and Annexes 10 and 11 and FAA Order 7110.65.

EMERGENCY CONDITION POSSIBLE CONTROLLER ACTIONS Pilot reports rough running engine. • Identify and inform pilot of nearest aerodrome • Provide navigational guidance • Plot aircraft’s position on radar display Pilot reports lost on your frequency, but aircraft is NOT visible on your radar display. • Instruct pilot to squawk code 7700 • Instruct pilot to climb, if possible, for better radar, radio, and DF reception • Check with adjacent radar facilities to determine if code 7700 is displayed in their airspace • Transfer communications only if better handling can be provided by another position or facility ACC63-8

ASSISTANCE TO VFR AIRCRAFT IN WEATHER DIFFICULTY Step Determine Action Whether pilot is qualified for and capable of conducting IFR flight 1 If Yes... Request pilot to file IFR flight plan, then issue clearance to destination aerodrome. • ACC63-18 If No (or pilot refuses to file)... Go to step 2. 2 VFR aerodromes in the If pilot is currently in VFR conditions and area and pilot's desires vectors to a VFR aerodrome, intentions provide navigational assistance as the pilot conducts VFR flight. NOT If VFR is feasible or desired by the pilot, provide radar assistance if the pilot declares an emergency or if you determine the nature of services desired. Whether the aircraft is already in IFR conditions 3 Inform pilot of appropriate terrain or obstacle clearance altitude. If aircraft is below this altitude and position is known or identification is established, furnish a heading or radial on which to climb to safely reach the minimum altitude.
