Provisional APO 187, c/o Postuaster San Francisco, California 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. The Senior Controller of the AOC relies on the individual unit operations : to furnish him with take-off and mission data prior te 1600 hours each day. ; . =m ~ 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. SWte 32%
