RE:2OllSO700200 

Dear Special Agent Kii7.patrick: 

First, ATI would like to thank you for allowing us the extended opportunity to respond, ATI 

indeed takes these matters seriously and wants to do everything possible to ensure we are in 

complete compliance and institute immediate and positive corrective actions in the event areas of 

non-compiiancc arc idcnlilied. 

Your letTcr of Dcct'mber 17, 2010 alleged the following pertaining lo a flight operated by All 

tjrom Raleigh NC to Amman Jordan on December 16, 2010: 

"The FAA Raleigh Control Tower did not receive this information'' as required by DOT SP 

I2382 7.(j),(l);-

ATI's investigation indicates the crew indeed made tlie required contact and submits the 

following lor your review: 

1) Captain's and First Officer's slalcments 

2) Trainini^ Material 

3) Training Records 

4) Trip report 

It is possible that a communication issue in the tow'er ilself may have created the impression the 

AM crew failed to noiiiy the lower of the aircraft's hazardou.s materials conicnt. However, as the 

SP requires contact prior to movement of the aircraft: 

' DOT SP l2r>R2 pangraph 7, (j),(l> requires "Before raovcmcnv olibc aircraft, prior xo lakcoff, and prior lo 

entering an aiipon irafHo arcii, the pilnLoTthc aircraft musi noiiJy the control lo*er oJLht; c]a.ss(c.s) of explusive(s) 

(incUiding ammuniiion) on board, and request xlial ihi.s inform^itinn be released lo the appropriate airport olTicial.";. 

This notification must be either conununicatcd by radio traiiiiiiisaion or facsimile transmission."

Phone 50)-815-3500 
03,'28/20,2__,3;2'9 FAX 2024935,42 FAA , 0 « 0005/03 7 

Before movemenr of the aircraft [emphasis added], prior to takeoff, and prior to entering 

an airpon trdfTic area, the pilot of the aircraft must notify the control lower of the 

class(e5;) of cxplosive(.<;) (including ammunition) on board, and request Lhar thi.i 

information be released to the appropriate airport officials. I his notification must be " 

cither communicated by radio transmission or facsimile transmis.sion. 

Due to the "[b]efore movement of the aircraft" requirement of the SP, the crew MUST contact 

the tower using ihe ground control frequency (at location.^ having both) in order to get clearance 

i'or taxi: this is the Lower contact they made as required by the SP. 

Apparently, the infonnation didn't make it from the grotind control folks to the other tower 

controller/s or the people in the tower who reported ATI failed lo make this transmission. 

Obviously, A'fl cannot explain the reasons, but we do know the cicw made the required contact 

as indicated by their statements. 

The recorded data MAY be still available on the cockpit voice recorder, depending on how much 

the airplane has been operated since; more than likely though, the data has been overwritten by 

now. As you are probably aware, FAA regulations may prohibit use of this voice recorder data in 

many enforcement circumstances. It is our understanding, although we're noi certain, that tower 

tapes arc available for only ] 5 days. We could attempt to retrieve that data under a FOiA request, 

if you like, for further corroboration. 

As you can sec from a review of all pertinent facts, it is appropriate for the FAA lo conclude that 

the matter does not warrant legal enforcement action. Consequtnlly, ATT respectfully requests 

that the FAA decline to assess any civil penalty. 

fn closing, we would like to express our appreciation lor your courtesy and cooperation in 

granting us extensions of time within which lo respond to the FAA's letter of investigation. We 

look forward to hearing from you once you have reviewed this uxitten response and anticipate 

that you will conclude your investigation promptly. Thank you very much for your 

consideration.

Hi Mike, 

As previously discussed this morning my recollection of the events surrounding ATN 265 mirror's that of 

Tom's. I remember Tom making the call to ATC that we had hazmat on board, i do not rernember the specific 

phraseology that he used, however I do specifically remember Tom making the call. 

As outlined in the DOT-SP 12382 Sect. 7, Part J, 1 believe that ATC can be notified by either facsimile or by 

radio. I do not know if operations had faxed notification to KRDU ATC operations. 

If you need any further information or if 1 can be of any further assistance in the matter discussed, please let 

me know. 

Thanks,

Hi Mike, 

I was in the right seat, and made the radio call. I make the call to ground, since it said to notify before aircraft 

movement, not takeoff. Ops told us of the Fed's charge after we landed in France, and I krww Cameron Coyle 

remembered me making the call (I think the engineer also, but I don't remember). 

The notification was also hopefully sent by ops (fax is okay) then it would all be a nxjot point anyway. Also, that SP 

12382 should be part of the release packet, because the Fed would have really been pissed if we didn't have a copy 

handy. We had a printed copy from the email Jim McNeills sent us, but also Jamie the k>admaster had brought a copy, I 

do believe, but he was out monitoring the loading, and didn't know we would have needed a copy when we were 

undergoing the grilling. 

Anyway, I made the call to ground, and if they didn't tell the tower guy, I don't know what else to say. 

Cheers, 

Tom 

PS-1 just landed from LA this morning, and you shouldn't get any calls on that one.

normally required on zht .^hipping papers (i.e.. shipper'.'; declaration for dangerous

subject to the conditions stated herein. Explosives carried under the tenns of this special 

permit must be authorized to be transported by common carrier by highway by 49 CFR 

Parts 100 through 178. 

Th£ last sentence above refers to the air carrier making sure the ej:plo.\ives can even 

be transported over the hiahwav. because if they can't be transported over the road 

(to gel to the airport), they certainly can 'i be transported hy air, period. 

To determine this, the Aircraft Ground Sen'ices Department will refer to the 

Hazardous Materials Table in 49 CFR § 172 lOl Under Column (3). "Hazard cla.fs 

or division " if the word "Forbidden" is indicated for the hazardous material being 

transportr.d, the hazardous material may noi be ojfered for transportation or 

transported [Ref: .•? }72.]Ol(d)(l)l. Even without the word "Forbidden." the 

Packaging Instruction under Colutnn (H) must be checked for any restriction to 

transport by common carrier by highway. 

b. Authori2ed aircraft. The airx:raft to be used mtist be authorized by Air Transport 

international LLC's FAA operations cenifleate. 

The aircraft .selected to operate this charter is on ATI's operating certificate.

DTW 

IAD 

RDU 

Arrived at DTW for a scheduled commercial flight to IAD. FIjght was cancelled into IAD due to wx. In DTW. 

Coordinated another flight into Reagan international airport with DELTA rep. to ensure Jim and I met with 

customer to inspect harmat. 

Jim McNellis and I drove to IAD from DCA to pick up Jon G., and then went to warehouses (2) to inspect . 

dangerous goods cargo. One box did not have correct proper shipping name of contents on the label. Shipper 

corrected the label prior to us leaving. 

• CARQO BUlLD-UP-Transitioned to RDU. Stopped by Worldwide Flight Services warehouse where cargo would 

be built. Jim McNellis spoke with World Wide Right Service manager, Dave Fahringer. who reported that he only 

had one ground handler on hand who had taken the DG training that would be available to help. Also, Dave 

mentioned that @ 6pm ground handlers would be arriving to sort postal freight in the warehouse This was never 

discussed with Cindy and Jim when they were coordinating warehouse space. We collaborated with a ground 

handler who worked for the airport authority and he mentioned the warehouse next door (old ABX) was available 

to store cargo. Jim, John and I built the cargo, while the g/h that had the explosive training drove the forklift. 6 

pallets built. 32. 814 lbs of cargo. Cargo was repositioned next door and segregated with a cargo attendant sitting 

watch 24/7. Attendant did have explosive's training. 

• FAA- inspector Kevin Fitzpatrick showed up at warehouse, inspected cargo and mentioned the exemption cargo 

needed to have the "SP #" on package. We were informed this was the responsibility of the shipper, however we 

went and had the stickers created by world wide and placed on the DOT-SP packages only. 

• A/C DELAY- @ 1040Z notified by ATI ops that A/C had MX problem and no timetable of departure from TOL. It 

was decided that A/C would be delayed 24 hours and to arrive in RDU at 12002. As the day progressed, the 

weather forecast showing freezing rain at 1200z tomorrow morning. Jim McNellis notified ATI ops and it was 

decided lo delay A/C until Thursday afternoon 1930z. 

• UPLOAD-FAA inspector Kevin Fitzpatrick onsite during loading. No problems with loading. Only 3 G/H available 

to assist, who had completed DG training. Jon Groleau and I helped push cargo on A/C while, Jim McNellis 

coordinated dollies in warehouse and faxed NOTOC's to ATI OPS. Jim spoke with Mona to ensure she received 

all NOTOC's. No problems during the upload, weather cooperated, and a special thanks to Worldwide for an 

excellent and very careful loading procedure. It was noted by FAA inspector Fitzpatrick. he was impressed by 

attention to detail by Dave Calton, the K-Loader operator. 

• UPDATES-Thru-out the whole delay, Jim kept the customer(Diplomal Freight, Stephanie), G/H(Dave Fahringerl, 

KRDU Airport Authorily{John Graves), and FAA Hazmat inspector(Kevin Fitzpatrick) updated with the newest 

information and times. 

• FAA INSPECTOR UPDATE- Jim McNellis was contacted by Kevin Fitzpatrick after the trip who said the upload 

went well, he had zero discrepancies from the loadmasters papenwork. He indicated that he had one 

issue(violation), and 1 asked him to contact our director of operations. He said he would send Mr. Alan Brandon a 

letter explaining his details.

early.
