1. In order tc provide adequate take-off separation of aircraft
departing Eniwetok, the AOC has been charged with publishing an "Aircraft
Take-Off Coordination Form" daily. In accordance with Task Group Regu-
lation 55-8, this form is to be published by 1700 hours each day, out~ ©
lining the proposed aircraft operations fcr the following day.

Senior Controller of the AOC relies on the individual unit operations

2. Three universal discrepancies have been nected in the operation
of this scheduling system. They are:
a.
Unit operations have not met the 1600 hours suspense,
This results in the late distribution of the coordination forms,
b.
to the AQC.
form.
Information on all proposed flights has not been forwarded
This defeats the primary purpose of the take-off coordination
ce. Information on Monday flights has not been called in until
Monday morning. This denies the AOC information on the early proposed
Monday operations until they have already occured,
3. It is desired that each unit operations examine their scheduling
procedures and provide the AOC, cach day, with a comprehensive, complete
and timely list of proposed flights.
