Customer Reviews

When the audible alarm generated by the RMS computer program sounds, the action begins.

The historical data in the Remote Monitoring Services database is examined in an effort to determine the circumstances surrounding the reported incident. The weather in the area of the tower is checked. Other tower sites in the vicinity are checked for report activity. The phone number for the appropriate FAA Flight Service Station is readied.

Just prior to expiration of the 30-minute notification period, the real-time incident report screen is checked again. If the incident has not cleared, the dial button is pressed.

The nature and exact location of the hazard to air navigation to the nearest airport is reported to the Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS). The NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) tracking number issued as a result of that report is sent to the tower owner to initiate the 15-day repair cycle.

RMS personnel review each NOTAM periodically and cancel or extend the NOTAM with the AFSS as necessary.

RMS strives to assist in fulfilling the tower owner's responsibilities in complying with FAA and FCC regulations.

We can also do FCC license and antenna structure database research at the tower owner's request.
