What must be done if the aircraft diverts?

When an aircraft diverts, the specific requirement regarding posting a new flight strip depends on the destination. If the diversion is to another sector 66 airport, a new strip must be posted as this indicates a significant change in operational control or management of the flight. However, if the aircraft is diverting to another location that is not classified as a sector 66 airport, there is no obligation to post a new strip.

This system allows for efficient tracking and management of aircraft movements while reducing unnecessary paperwork or operational confusion when the diversion does not impact the immediate operational environment significantly. The focus is on ensuring that air traffic control and personnel remain informed without overcomplicating the process for flights that divert to certain types of airports.
