The report points out that 12 of the 14 midair collisions that happened in Alaska from 2005-2020 were in uncontrolled airspace.
Though there are 21 airports within a 30-mile radius of Soldotna with five different communication frequencies, a post-accident check of both planes could not determine which frequency each was monitoring.
“Safety recommendations are typically released at the conclusion of an investigation but every year the NTSB issues recommendations prior to that point,” NTSB spokesperson Peter Knudson said in an email to The Associated Press. Pilot diligence is important since only 13 airports in Alaska have air traffic control towers, the report said.
The NTSB in the report also recommended that pilots communicate their position near established reporting points and airport traffic patterns within the common traffic advisory frequency area unless the pilot is in contact with air traffic control.
