- AIM 4.1.21.e. Lake Reporting Service.
Cleveland and Lansing FSS Radio Sectors provide Lake Reporting Service on request for aircraft traversing the western half of Lake Erie; Green Bay, Kankakee, Lansing, and Terre Haute FSS Radio Sectors provide Lake Reporting Service on request for aircraft traversing Lake Michigan.
1. When requesting the service, pilots should ask for LAKE REPORTING SERVICE.
2. Pilots not on a VFR flight plan should be prepared to provide all information that is normally provided for a complete VFR flight plan.
3. Pilots already on a VFR flight plan should be prepared to provide the following information:
(a) Aircraft or flight identification.
(b) Type of aircraft.
(c) Near-shore crossing point or last fix before crossing.
(d) Proposed time over near-shore crossing point or last fix before crossing.
(e) Proposed altitude.
(f) Proposed route of flight.
(g) Estimated time over water.
(h) Next landing point.
(i) FSS having complete VFR flight plan information.
4. Radio contacts must not exceed 10 minutes when pilots fly at an altitude that affords continuous communications. If radio contact is lost for more than 15 minutes (5 minutes after a scheduled reporting time), Search and Rescue (SAR) will be alerted.
5. The estimated time for crossing the far shore will be the scheduled reporting time for aircraft that fly at an altitude that does not afford continuous communication coverage while crossing the lake. If radio contact is not established within 5 minutes of that time, SAR will be alerted.
6. Pilots are responsible for canceling their request for Lake Reporting Service when outside the service area boundary. Aircraft experiencing radio failure will be expected to land as soon as practicable and cancel their Lake Reporting Service flight plan.
