Human Factors
On nearly every one of my recent flights with Dangerous Goods; the other pilots have gone to throw away the 'Planned Dangerous Goods' paperwork once the 'Final Dangerous Goods Summary' has been received. These two ACARS messages are two parts of one form; however; with all of the information on both the planned and final messages required by 49 CFR 175.33 and ICAO. The final form does not replace the planned form; both forms must be retained by the crew and should be used to provide information to ATC and first responders in the event of an accident or incident.
Air Carrier First Officer reported flight crew members often discard Hazmat documents that are required to be kept until flight completion per CFR.175.33 and ICAO regulations.
