| a (FTA)  | Over the last several years some Interagency issues arose |
|          | from the current FTA Power Point and Poster. The          |
|          | Interagency Aerial Supervision Committee has resolved     |
|          | those issues and created a new FTA profile and Power      |
|          | Point.                                                    |

|          | The basic principles of the FTA remain intact: Call by 12 |
|          | miles, No Communication's Hold by 7 miles and the 3 C's   |
|          | Communication, Clearance and Comply with the Clearance.   |

|          | Please disregard the old poster and power point and       |
|          | utilize the new National Interagency Aviation Council     |
|          | (NIAC) approved Profile and Power Point.                  |
