Fire Traffic Area (FTA)

The FTA was developed by aerial firefighting personnel to provide a standardized initial attack airspace structure to enhance air traffic separation over wildland fire (or other) incidents.

The Aviation Management Council (AMC) met May 6, 2003 in Boise, ID and approved the use of the FTA.

The FTA Card was revised in 2010 with updated frequency information.
