47912 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2012 / Notices 

ACTION: Notice for public comment. 

SUMMARY: This Notice Announcement is 

a request for public comment on a 

proposal to decommission all 29 

Direction Finders (DF) and the 

associated DF approaches in Alaska. DF 

usage for pilot orientation has become 

almost non-existent. Since 2004, the 

Alaska Flight Service Information Area 

Group (AFSIAG) has documented eight 

flight assists that involved lost or 

disoriented pilots. Of these, the use of 

DF equipment was documented three 

times. Since 2008, there have been no 

flight assists, nor usage of DF equipment 

for orientation services. Newer 

technologies such as Global Positioning 

System (GPS) and Automatic Dependent 

Surveillance—Broadcast (ADS—B) have 

reduced the utilization of DF steers. 

Flight Service Stations have other tools 

available to assist lost or disoriented 

pilots, such as VOR, ADF, and GPS, that 

meet the needs of our aviation 

community. DF equipment is beyond its 

useful lifecycle.
