What is the purpose of the Secondary Crash Net (SCN)?

The purpose of the Secondary Crash Net (SCN) is to limit communication to emergency response agencies during an incident involving aircraft, such as a crash. This specialized communication network ensures that only relevant personnel, such as fire and rescue teams, and other emergency responders, can communicate about the incident. By restricting communication, the SCN helps to reduce confusion and ensures that critical information is relayed efficiently among those who need to respond to the emergency situation. This focused communication aids in the effective management of resources and response strategies.

Other options, such as providing routine air traffic information or coordinating flight schedules among military branches, do not align with the unique role of the SCN, which is specifically created for handling emergencies rather than routine operations. Additionally, managing civilian airport traffic pertains to a separate set of protocols that do not involve the emergency-focused communication framework established by the SCN.
