Hazardous Area Reporting Service
5.2.3 Block Island Reporting Service (BIRS)
5.2.3.1 Within the Long Island Reporting Service, the New York FSS Radio Sector also provides an additional service for aircraft operating between Montauk Point and Block Island. When requesting this service, pilots should ask for BLOCK ISLAND REPORTING SERVICE and should be prepared to provide the same flight information as that required for the Long Island Sound Reporting Service.
5.2.3.2 A minimum of three position reports are mandatory for this service. These are:
b) Midway report.
c) Report when over Montauk Point or Block Island at which time the pilot cancels the overwater service.
5.2.3.3 Communications. Pilots are to transmit and receive on 122.6 MHz.
5.2.3.4 Pilots are advised that 122.6 MHz is a remote receiver located at the Hampton VORTAC site and designed to provide radio coverage between Hampton and Block Island. Flights proceeding beyond Block Island may contact the Bridgeport FSS Radio Sector by transmitting on 122.1 MHz and
a) Report leaving Montauk Point or Block Island.listening on Groton VOR frequency 110.85 MHz.
5.2.4 Cape Cod and Islands Radar Overwater Flight Following
5.2.4.1 In addition to normal VFR radar advisory service, traffic permitting, Otis Approach Control provides a radar overwater flight following service for aircraft traversing the Cape Code and adjacent island area. Pilots desiring this service may contact Cape RAPCON on 118.2 MHz.
5.2.4.2 Pilots requesting this service should be prepared to give the following information: a) Type and color of aircraft. b) Altitude. c) Position and heading.
d) Route of flight.
e) True airspeed.
5.2.4.3 For best radar coverage, pilots are encour-aged to fly at 1,500 feet MSL or above.
5.2.4.4 Pilots are responsible for cancelling their request for overwater flight following when they are over the mainland and/or outside the service area boundary.
5.2.5 Lake Reporting Service
5.2.5.1 Cleveland and Lansing FSS Radio Sectors provide Lake Reporting Service on request for aircraft traversing the western half of Lake Erie. Green Bay, Kankakee, Lansing, and Terre Haute FSS Radio Sectors provide Lake Reporting Service on request for aircraft traversing Lake Michigan.
a) When requesting the service, pilots should ask for LAKE REPORTING SERVICE.
b) Pilots not on a VFR flight plan should be prepared to provide all information that is normally provided for a complete VFR flight plan.
c) Pilots already on a VFR flight plan should be prepared to provide the following information:
1) Aircraft or flight identification.
2) Type of aircraft.
3) Near.shore crossing point or last fix before crossing.
4) Proposed time over near.shore crossing point or last fix before crossing.
5) Proposed altitude.
6) Proposed route of flight.
7) Estimated time over water.
8) Next landing point.
9) AFSS/FSS having complete VFR flight plan information.
d) Radio contacts must not exceed 10 minutes when pilots fly at an altitude that affords continuous communications. If radio contact is lost for more than 15 minutes (5 minutes after a scheduled reporting time), Search and Rescue (SAR) will be alerted.
5.2.5.2 The estimated time for crossing the far shore will be the scheduled reporting time for aircraft that fly at an altitude that does not afford continuous communication coverage while crossing the lake. If radio contact is not established within 5 minutes of that time, SAR will be alerted.
5.2.5.3 Pilots are responsible for canceling their request for Lake Reporting Service when outside the service area boundary. Aircraft experiencing radio failure will be expected to land as soon as practicable and cancel their Lake Reporting Service flight plan.
5.2.5.4 Communications. Primary communica-tions . Pilots should communicate with the following facilities on the indicated frequencies:
a) Cleveland FSS Radio Sector Controls:
1) Cleveland RCO (FSS transmits and receives on 122.35 or 122.55 MHz).
2) Sandusky VOR (FSS transmits on 109.2 and receives on 122.1 MHz).
b) Green Bay FSS Radio Sector Controls:
1) Escanaba VORTAC (FSS transmits on 110.8 and receives on 122.1 MHz).
2) Green Bay RCO (FSS transmits and receives on 122.55 MHz).
3) Manistique RCO (FSS transmits and receives on 122.25 MHz).
