A. Incident Aviation Coordinator is John Carpenter.

Coordinator shall be aware of all mission flights
1. Unified command planning of scheduled flights.
2. Prior notification of unscheduled flights by flying agency.

B. Establish method to track mission aircraft over incident area.

1. Radio at ICP Communications on freq. 122.925.(Forest should have by 6/29).
2. Mission aircraft contact ICP when entering area and when leaving area.

C. Establish method to assure that Forest and Incident are advised of aircraft use in the area.

1. ICP contact A-S Dispatch of Incident aircraft in area.
2. A-S Dispatch contact ICP of Forest aircraft in area.
3. Cross notification of unidentified aircraft.

D. Establish system to coordinate with media aircraft in the area.

1. Incident aviation coordinator work with Incident PIO to provide needed aviation information to media.
2. Incident PIO to provide Incident aviation coordinator with flight plans from media.

E. Multiple aircraft coordination.

1. Try to maintain single aircraft operation over the incident.
2. If flight coordination (media/agency) becomes a problem consider TFR and more formal flight control (air attack/helibase manager).
