F. Aviation Safety Communiqué
1. An incident is an occurrence, other than an accident, associated with the operation of an aircraft that affects, or could affect, the safety of the operation.
2. Any incident should be reported in a timely manner in the form of an inter-agency SAFECOM, FS-5700-14 report. The Forest Service has created an Aviation Management home page (address: http://205.173.2.4). To report an incident, go to the Aviation Management Internet home page and click on “SAFECOM”. Next, click on “Submit SAFECOM” to get to the blank electronic form. Once filled-out and submitted, the SAFECOM will automatically be sent to a Forest Service server in Boise, Idaho. The server will then generate a message to the RASM in the Region selected by the submitter. The RASM then processes the SAFECOM and returns it back to Boise.
3. Anytime a SAFECOM is submitted, the FHP UAO should be informed as soon as is reasonably possible.
