General Information

After an FAA Form 7210-2, Preliminary Operational Error Investigation, has been completed and telephone notification to FAA Washington Headquarters has been accomplished, a review of the data by a reporting facility official (e.g.. ATM) may result in a reclassification of an operational error or deviation to one of the following:

·         Pilot Deviation

·         Military Facility Deviation

·         No Occurrence

The Operational Error/Deviation Reclassification Report, FAA Form 7210-5, provides a means of reporting such a reclassification without requiring the IIC to complete the Final Operational Error/Deviation Report, FAA Form 7210-3.

The Regional Air Traffic Division Manager, along with AAT-20 must concur with the reclassification.
