Supplementary Procedures.

4. Risks to Flight and Compliance with AIP procedures 4.1 All operators are advised there is an increased risk of hostile, non-military actions

against aircraft and should be aware of on-going military operations in Afghanistan. Compliance with AIP procedures is mandatory. Safety of aircraft operating in the Kabul FIR requires strict adherence to AIP procedures. Operators should review NOTAMs regularly, using their appropriate systems and methods, for any changes that may affect the information contained in this document and make their own risk assessment based on all available information. Due to potential delays in transferring military NOTAM information into international NOTAM database, all operators are advised to also review NOTAMs on the Defence Internet NOTAM site (DINS) available at: https://www.notams.jcs.mil or http://www.baseops.de.

4.2 Aircraft operators must strictly comply with the provisions of the permission granted for their aircraft and shall adhere to the international designated air routes. Failure to comply with the procedures in this AIP may result in interception by armed coalition fighter aircraft, fines or future airspace denial. Aircraft operators must be familiar with, and follow, international intercept procedures contained in Annex 2, Rules of the Air, to the Chicago Convention, para 3.8 and Appendix 2, Sections 2 and 3.

4.3 Many airports in Afghanistan have limited or no ATC, Meteorology, Fire and Rescue or ground support services. In addition pavements at these airports may be in poor condition. Crews that operate to, at or from these airfields do so entirely at their own risk.

Pavement Classification Number (PCN): A number expressing the bearing strength of a pavement for unrestricted operations.

Preferred Runway: A runway nominated by ATC or listed in the AIP as the most suitable for the prevailing wind, surface conditions or noise sensitive areas in the proximity of the aerodrome.

Primary Means Navigation System: A navigation system that, for a given operation or phase of flight, must meet accuracy and integrity requirements, but need not meet full availability and continuity of service requirements. Safety is achieved by either limiting flights to specific time periods, or through appropriate procedural restrictions and operational requirements.

Procedural Service: Term used to indicate that information derived from an ATS surveillance system is not required for the provision of ATS.

Procedure Altitude/Height: A specified altitude/height flown at or above the minimum altitude/height, and established to accommodate a stabilized descent at a prescribed descent gradient/angle in the intermediate/final approach segment.

Prohibited Area: An airspace of defined dimensions, above the land areas or territorial waters of a State, within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited. Designation is appropriate only for reasons of defence.

QNH Altimeter Setting: That pressure setting which, when placed on the pressure setting sub-scale of a sensitive altimeter of an aircraft located at the reference point of an aerodrome, will cause the altimeter to indicate the vertical displacement of the reference point above mean sea level.

Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM): The vertical separation minimum of 1000ft between FL290 and FL410 inclusive.

Reporting Point: A specified geographical location in relation to which the position of an aircraft can be reported.



Required Navigation Performance (RNP): A statement of the navigation performance necessary for operation within a defined airspace.

RNP Type: A containment value expressed as a distance in nautical miles from the intended position within which flights would be for at least 95 per cent of the total flying time.

Restricted Area: An airspace of defined dimensions above the land areas or territorial waters of a State, within which the flight of aircraft is restricted in accordance with certain specified conditions.

Route: A way to be taken in flying from a departure to a destination aerodrome, specified in terms of track and distance for each route segment.

Runway (RWY): A defined rectangular area on a land aerodrome prepared for the landing and take-off of aircraft.

Runway-Holding Position: A designated position intended to protect a runway, an obstacle limitation surface, or an ILS critical/sensitive area at which taxiing aircraft and vehicles must stop and hold, unless otherwise authorized by the aerodrome control tower.

Note: In radiotelephony phraseologies, the expression “holding point” is used to designate the runway−holding position.

Runway Number: The runway identification associated with the runway direction end.

Runway Strip: The defined area, including the runway (and stop way if provided), intended both to reduce the risk of damage to aircraft inadvertently running off the runway and to protect aircraft flying over it during take-off, landing or missed approach.

Search and Rescue (SAR): The act of finding and returning to safety, aircraft and persons involved in an emergency phase.

Segment Minimum Safe Altitude: The lowest altitude at which the minimum obstacle clearance is provided.

Significant Weather: Any weather phenomenon which might affect flight visibility or present a hazard to an aircraft.

Sole Means Navigation System: A navigation system that, for a given phase of flight, must allow the aircraft to meet all four navigation system performance requirements − accuracy, integrity, availability and continuity of service.

SSR Code: The number assigned to a particular multiple-pulse reply signal transmitted by a transponder in Mode A or Mode C.

Standard Instrument Departure (SID): A designated IFR departure route linking the aerodrome or a specified runway of the aerodrome with a specified significant point, normally on a designated ATS route, at which the en route phase of a flight commences.

Standard Pressure: The pressure of 1013.2HPA which, if set upon the pressure sub-scale of a sensitive altimeter, will cause the latter to read zero when at mean sea level in a standard atmosphere.

Stop way: A defined rectangular area on the ground at the end of the take-off run available prepared as a suitable area in which an aircraft can be stopped in the case of an abandoned take-off.

Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN): An ultra-high frequency navigation aid which provides a continuous indication of bearing and slant range, in nautical miles, to the selected ground station.

Taxiway (TWY): A defined path on a land aerodrome established for the taxiing of aircraft and intended to provide a link between one part of the aerodrome and another.

Terminal Area (TMA): A control area normally established at the confluence of ATS Routes in the vicinity of one or more major aerodromes.

Terrain Clearance: The vertical displacement of an aircraft’s flight path from the terrain.

Threshold: The beginning of that portion of the runway usable for landing.

Threshold Crossing Height: The height of the ILS glide path at the threshold.



Track: The projection on the earth’s surface of the path of an aircraft, the direction of which path at any point is usually expressed in degrees from North (true, magnetic or grid).

Transition Altitude: The altitude at or below which the vertical position of an aircraft is controlled by reference to altitudes.

Transition Layer: The airspace between the transition altitude and the transition level.

Transition Level: The lowest flight level available for use above the transition altitude.

Transitional Surface: An inclined plane associated with the runway strip and the approach surfaces.

Transponder: A receiver/transmitter which will generate a reply signal upon proper interrogation; the interrogation and reply being on different frequencies.

Undershoot Shear: A wind shear occurrence which produces an INITIAL effect of undershooting the desired approach path and/or decreasing air speed.

Unserviceable Area: A portion of the movement area not available for use by aircraft because of the physical condition of the surface, or because of any obstruction on the area.

Vectoring: Provision of navigational guidance to aircraft in the form of specific headings, based on the use of an ATS surveillance system.

VHF Omni-directional Radio Range (VOR): A VHF radio navigational aid which provides a continuous indication of bearing from the selected VOR ground station.

Visibility: Visibility for aeronautical purposes is the greater of:

a. the greatest distance at which a black object of suitable dimensions, situated near the ground, can be seen and recognized when observed against a bright background; or

b. the greatest distance at which lights in the vicinity of 1 000 candelas can be seen and identified against an unlit background.

Visual (ATC usage): Used by ATC to instruct a pilot to see and avoid obstacles while conducting flight below the MVA or MSA/LSALT.

Visual (Pilot usage): Used by a pilot to indicate acceptance of responsibility to see and avoid obstacles while operating below the MVA or MSA/LSALT.

Visual Approach Slope Indicator System (VASIS): A system of lights so arranged as to provide visual information to pilots on approach of their position in relation to the optimum approach slope for a particular runway.

Vs1g means the one-g stall speed at which the aircraft can develop a lift force (normal to the flight path) equal to its weight.

Way-point: A specified geographical location used to define an area navigation route or the flight path of an aircraft employing area navigation. Way-points are identified as either:

a. Fly-by Way-point: A way-point which requires turn anticipation to allow tangential interception of the next segment of a route or procedure, or

b. Flyover Way-point: A way-point at which a turn is initiated in order to join the next segment of a route or procedure.

GEN 2.4 LOCATION INDICATORS 1. Code Allocation 1.1 Afghanistan follows international conventions in the allocation of codes. The first letter

is an ‘O’ to designate Middle East region. The second letter is ‘A” designating locations in Afghanistan. The remaining two letters designate the landing area/location, and may not necessarily correlate with the English name of the location. Locations other than those given the ‘OA’ prefix are designated by three, four or five letter codes. To avoid confusion with location indicators, waypoints do not begin with the letters ‘OA’.

1.2 The following table summarizes code allocation:

Type Code Example

Licensed aerodrome, aircraft landing area, helicopter landing site

Four letters (OA_ _ ) Kabul International Airport – (OAKB)

2. Area of Responsibility 2.1 Air traffic services are provided for the entire Kabul FIR.

3. Types of Air Traffic Services 3.1 A combination of coalition military, military contractor and civilian air traffic service

workforce provides the following types of air traffic services in Afghanistan:

3.1.1 Aerodrome Control Service is provided to aerodrome traffic within an airfield’s CTR/ATZ as defined in ENR 2.1.1.1. The control function in respect of aerodrome and other traffic operating on the surface outside the landing area in use may be provided separately and is termed Surface Movement Control.

3.1.2 Approach/Departure Control Service is provided to flights within an airfield’s CTA/TMA as defined in ENR 2.1.1.1. Approach/departure control service is provided until the arriving flights become aerodrome traffic and to departing flights from the time they cease to be aerodrome traffic until they climb independently of approaching flights or aircraft departing on other routes. The control function concerned with departing traffic when separately established is termed Departure Control, the remaining function then being termed Approach Control. Approach/Departure control service will be provided jointly with aerodrome control service, unless specified otherwise in En-route Supplement.

3.1.3 Area Control Service is provided to flights operating in a control area when not provided with aerodrome or approach control service. En-route Procedural (non- ATC Surveillance System) service is provided by the Kabul ACC to aircraft operating on Kabul FIR high and low structure airways.

3.1.4 Air Traffic Surveillance Service is an ATC Surveillance service that may include the following:

a. ATC Surveillance Service provides positive traffic separation (except between VFR flights in VMC in Class D and E airspace) and the monitoring of aircraft navigation, to identified traffic in controlled airspace.

b. Final Approach Service provides a precision or surveillance radar service for final approach.

c. Emergency Service provides navigation assistance to aircraft in distress or experiencing navigational difficulties.



3.1.5 Flight Information Service (FIS) is a non-ATC Surveillance System service provided either separately, or in conjunction with other services, for the purpose of supplying information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flight. Provision of the service includes information about weather, changes of serviceability of facilities, conditions at aerodromes and any other information pertinent to safety. This service does not provide separation or sequencing to aircraft. The following applies to a FIS:

a. If in ATC Surveillance System coverage, the controller may attempt to identify the flight for monitoring and coordination purposes only. Such identification does not imply that an ATC Surveillance service is being provided or that the controller will continuously monitor the flight.

b. Where a controller suspects, from whatever source, that a flight is in dangerous proximity to another aircraft, a warning is to be issued to the pilot. It is accepted that this information may be incomplete and the controller cannot assume responsibility for its issuance at all times or for its accuracy.

c. Ultimate responsibility for aircraft and terrain avoidance rests with the pilot in command.

4. Coordination between the Operator and Air Traffic Services 4.1 Coordination between the operator and traffic services is affected in accordance with

2.15 of ICAO Annex 11 and 11.2.1.1.4 and 11.2.1.1.5 of Chapter 11 of the Procedures for Air Navigation Services - Air Traffic Management (Doc 4444 ATM/501).

5. Minimum Flight Altitude 5.1 Minimum flight altitude is determined by adding 2 000 feet on top of terrain or obstacle

heights taken in the vicinity of the area. That altitude is then rounded up to the next hundred-foot value. For example, an obstacle exists at 6 775 feet. Add 2 000 feet to clear the obstacle, which would make the Minimum Obstacle Clearance Altitude (MOCA) 8 800 feet. Rounded up to the next thousand-foot value equals a minimum IFR flight altitude of 9 000 feet.

6. ATS Units Address List 6.1 Not available at this time.

ENR 1 GENERAL RULES AND PROCEDURES

ENR 1.1 GENERAL RULES 1. All non-military aircraft operating in the Kabul FIR must file a flight plan. If a stopover

at an uncontrolled field is planned, the follow-on flight plan must be filed in advance at an appropriate location. Compliance with ICAO procedures at uncontrolled fields is mandatory to ensure separation from military operations.



ENR 1.2 VISUAL FLIGHT RULES 1. Visual Meteorological Conditions 1.1 IAW Rules of The Air Annex 2 to The Convention on International Civil Aviation,

except when operating as a special VFR flight, VFR flights shall be conducted so that the aircraft is flown in conditions of visibility and distance from clouds equal to or greater than those specified in the following table:

Airspace Classification

A*, C, D, E G

ABOVE 900m (3 000ft) AMSL or above 300m (1 000ft) above terrain, whichever is the higher

At and below 900m (3 000ft) AMSL or 300m (1 000ft) above terrain, whichever is the higher

Distance from cloud

1 500m horizontally

300m (1 000ft) vertically

Clear of cloud and in sight of the surface

Flight visibility

8km above 3 050m (10 000ft) AMSL

5km below 3 050m (10 000ft) AMSL

5km

* The VMC minima in Class A airspace are included for guidance to pilots and do not imply acceptance of VFR flights in Class A airspace.

1.2 When so prescribed by the appropriate ATS authority:

a. Lower flight visibilities to 1 500m may be permitted for flights operating:

(i) At speeds that, in the prevailing visibility, will give adequate opportunity to observe other traffic or any obstacles in time to avoid collision; or

(ii) In circumstances in which the probability of encounters with other traffic would normally be low (e.g., in areas of low volume traffic and for aerial work at low levels).

1.2.1 Helicopters may be permitted to operate in less than 1 500m flight visibility, if manoeuvred at a speed that will give adequate opportunity to observe other traffic or any obstacles in time to avoid collision.

1.3 Except when a clearance is obtained from an air traffic control unit, VFR flights shall not take off or land at an aerodrome within a control zone, or enter the aerodrome traffic zone or traffic pattern:

a. When the ceiling is less than 450m (1500ft); or

b. When the ground visibility is less than 5km.

c. At night, if a civil aircraft.

2. Altitude and Airspace Restrictions 2.1 All VFR aircraft will fly at FLXX5. Civil VFR flights shall not be operated above FL235.

Military aircraft may operate VFR up to FL295 within TMA airspace and within Class E Air Route airspace when crossing that Air Route. There are no altitude restrictions on Military VFR aircraft within Class G airspace. Military VFR aircraft may cross Class A Air Routes subject to ATC clearance.



2.2 All civilian VFR flights must adhere to the published air route corridors in order to segregate from military activity. Compliance with these procedures does not relieve pilots of own responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft or for maintaining own safe terrain/obstacle clearance at all times.

2.3 Except when necessary for take-off, landing or by permission of an appropriate authority, a VFR flight shall not be flown:

a. Over the congested areas of cities, towns or settlements or over an open air assembly of persons at a height less than 1000ft (300m) above the highest obstacle within a radius of 600m of the aircraft;

b. Elsewhere, at a height less than 500ft (150m) above the ground or water.

2.4 Civil aircraft operating in class G airspace shall keep to the minimum tracking possible. This includes departing and joining the Air Routes at 90 degrees from the aerodrome.

3. Air Traffic Services 3.1 VFR flights shall comply with the provisions of air traffic control instructions:

a. When operated within Class C and D airspace;

b. When forming part of aerodrome traffic at controlled aerodromes; or

c. A VFR flight operating within or into designated controlled airspace, shall maintain continuous air-ground voice communication watch on the appropriate communication channel and report its position as necessary to the air traffic services unit providing air traffic services.

3.2 All VFR aircraft must receive a clearance prior to entering Class C and Class D airspace. Flight advisory with Kabul ACC should not be construed as a clearance to enter Class C or Class D airspace.

4. VFR Flight in Class E airspace 4.1 Prior to entering Class E airspace, all VFR aircraft (military and civil) shall establish

two-way communications with either an ATC or TAC C2 agency. This includes prior to crossing Class E Air Routes. VFR aircraft unable to comply shall remain clear of Class E airspace until communications can be established.

5. VFR Flight in Class G airspace 5.1 Prior to VFR flight through Class G airspace, aircrew must communicate with an Air

Traffic Control (ATC) and/or Military Tactical Command and Control (TAC C2) agency.

5.2 All VFR aircraft must monitor Guard (UHF/243.0 preferably, 121.5 if VHF capable only) in addition to CTAF 125.2, or as directed otherwise. TAC C2 will attempt to establish two-way communication with aircrew on these frequencies if deviation from the current flight path is required for de-confliction.

5.3 ATC will provide VFR aircraft departing from controlled airfields within Afghanistan a traffic and airspace de-confliction service within the airspace surrounding the aerodrome. On entering Class G airspace, VFR aircraft will then be instructed to contact a TAC C2 agency or broadcast on CTAF 125.2.

5.4 VFR aircraft departing from uncontrolled airfields are to contact TAC C2 for traffic and airspace avoidance instructions prior to departure or immediately on becoming airborne. If TAC C2 cannot be contacted due to radio coverage or VHF only, aircrews are to broadcast intentions on CTAF 125.2.



5.5 Aircraft on Class E airways in contact with Kabul Area Control Centre (KACC) that are required to leave the airway to reach their destination will, workload permitting, receive traffic and airspace avoidance advice from KACC prior to leaving the airway. When leaving the airway, KACC will instruct the aircraft to contact TAC C2 or broadcast on CTAF 125.2 for further traffic and airspace avoidance advice.

5.6 Due to line of sight limitations (both UHF/VHF), two-way communication with TAC C2 may not be possible. Aircrews are still expected to transmit ‘in the blind’ and maintain the TAC C2 frequency for the duration of flight in Class G airspace. Flight within Class G airspace under these circumstances is of high risk, therefore aircrew are maintain an increased level of see and avoid and continue flight with due regard.

5.7 Aircrew can contact TAC C2 in Afghanistan on the following frequencies:

AERODROME TAC C2 AGENCY TAC C2 FREQ (MHz)

Herat* MISER 335.400

Bastion MISER 335.400 / 128.6

Kandahar

(to west/northwest) MISER 335.400 / 128.6

* Limited UHF and VHF communication with TAC C2 or ATC probable.

5.8 VFR aircraft will provide the following information upon check-in with TAC C2:

Aircraft call-sign

Mode 3

Departure Aerodrome or Position

Destination or Next Position

Current Altitude

Requested Altitude

TAC C2 Check-in Example communication:

“Miser, Dash08, squawking 4501, 5 miles north Sharana, enroute Bagram, currently 11.5, request 15.5 for transit.”



TAC C2 Check-in Example communication in the blind (both TAC C2 and CTAF125.2):

“MISER/All stations ISAF276, squawking 3615, 5 miles south of Herat, enroute DILAM, passing 3 500, climbing to FL205.”

5.9 Radio and radar coverage permitting, TAC C2 will provide airspace and aircraft de-confliction while within Class G airspace by recommending heading, altitude, and/or traffic information.

5.10 If TAC C2 is unable to provide these services due to limited radar coverage, aircrew will be advised that TAC C2 has ‘negative radar contact’. TAC C2 will then direct aircrew to ‘proceed at your own discretion’ while providing restricted airspace advice. Aircrew may be asked to respond to additional position requests.

5.11 If TAC C2 is unable to provide these services due to limited radio coverage, TAC C2 will attempt to establish contact with the aircraft on the TAC C2 frequency, CTAF 125.2 and/or Guard. Additionally TAC C2 may use other aircraft in the vicinity to relay avoidance advice.

6. Change to Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 6.1 An aircraft operating VFR that wishes to change to IFR shall:

a. If a flight plan was submitted, communicate the necessary changes to be effected to its current flight plan, or

b. Submit a flight plan to the appropriate air traffic services unit and obtain a clearance prior to proceeding IFR when in controlled airspace.

6.2 Aircraft departing satellite airports are VFR and will remain VFR until air traffic control issues an IFR clearance and assigns an altitude. If air traffic control is unable to issue an IFR clearance immediately, the controller will advise the pilot when or where to expect an IFR clearance.

7. Special Visual Flight Rules (SVFR) 7.1 SVFR may be approved under certain conditions at some airfields throughout

Afghanistan. Pilots are to refer to the Aerodrome (AD) section, of this document, to acquire information on SVFR for individual AD.



ENR 1.3 INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES (IFR) 1. Rules Applicable to all IFR Flights 1.1 All civil aircraft operating in the Kabul FIR shall operate IFR in Class A except where

specifically authorized to conduct flight in VFR. Aircraft shall be equipped with suitable instruments and navigation equipment appropriate to the route to be flown. Aircraft intending to operate on Afghanistan’s air routes shall be suitably equipped to comply with RNP-10 as detailed at GEN 1.5.2.

1.2 An IFR flight shall report, to the appropriate air traffic services unit, as soon as possible, the time and level of passing each designated compulsory reporting point. Position reports shall similarly be made in relation to additional points when requested by the appropriate air traffic services unit.

1.3 Due to operational requirements, unless instructed by ATC, civil IFR flights are not permitted within Class G airspace.

2. Change from IFR Flight to VFR Flight 2.1 An aircraft electing to change the conduct of its flight from compliance with the

instrument flight rules to compliance with the visual flight rules shall notify the appropriate air traffic services unit specifically that the IFR flight is cancelled and communicate there to the changes to be made to its current flight plan.

2.2 Military aircraft which are IFR and established on the airway or established within Class E airspace and are requesting to land at airports which are outside of these areas shall, if applicable, advise air traffic control when able to proceed VFR. Air traffic control shall acknowledge and terminate IFR service. Aircraft that cannot proceed VFR will not be descended below the airway’s minimum en-route altitude or be permitted to exit the ATS route or Class E airspace.



ENR 1.4 ATS AIRSPACE CLASSIFICATION 1. Description of Airspace in Kabul FIR 1.1 The Kabul FIR is classified into Class A, C, D, E, and G airspace. Class B and F

airspace are not used in the Kabul FIR. Air traffic services are provided in all controlled airspace, by the controlling ATC facility, based on Procedural (non- ATC Surveillance System) procedures supplemented by ATC Surveillance System where possible.

Note 1: VFR aircraft in Class G airspace must contact a TAC C2 agency or broadcast on 125.2. See ENR 1.2 paragraph 5.



Note 2: VFR Military aircraft may be cleared to cross Class A airways by ATC provided they are separated from IFR traffic.

Note 3: All VFR aircraft (includes military) in Class E shall be in contact with the appropriate ATC or TAC C2 agency. See ENR 1.2 paragraph 4.

Note 4: HEAVY wake turbulence category aircraft (aircraft with a MTOW greater than 136,000kg) shall follow IFR procedures when transiting via Class E Air Routes.

Note 5: Civil operations in class G airspace shall be kept to the minimum tracking.

2.1. Unless otherwise defined in ENR 2.1, when ATS airspaces adjoin vertically (one above the other), flights at the common level must comply with the requirements of, and will be given services applicable to the less restrictive class of airspace. In applying these criteria, Class C airspace is considered less restrictive than Class A airspace, etc.

2.2. When Class C and D adjoin laterally; flights at the common boundary will be given services applicable to Class D airspace.

3. Separation 3.1 Separation standards, including wake turbulence, applied in the Kabul FIR are in

accordance with ICAO Doc 4444 Procedures for Air Navigation Services – Air Traffic Management except when coalition ATC has been given authority to use their home nation separation standards.

4. Wake Turbulence 4.1 Categories. For the purpose of wake turbulence, aircraft are divided into the following

weight categories:

a. HEAVY (H) − All other aircraft types of 136,000KG maximum take−off weight or more;

b. MEDIUM (M) − Aircraft types of less than 136,000KG maximum take-off weight but more than 7,000KG maximum take-off weight;

c. LIGHT (L) − Aircraft types of 7,000KG maximum take-off weight or less. Note: B757 and H47 (Chinook) are categorised Heavy (H) when the following aircraft is categorised either Medium (M) or Light (L) and categorised Medium (M) when the preceding aircraft is categorized Heavy (H).



ENR 1.5 HOLDING, APPROACH AND DEPARTURE PROCEDURES 1. Holding 1.1 En-route holding will be used in Kabul FIR when needed to expedite the flow of traffic.

If holding is issued, all aircraft shall fly 10-mile legs and conduct right turns. An “expect further clearance” time (EFC) shall be issued by ATC at least 5 minutes prior to the aircraft’s estimated time to the clearance limit. If no delay is expected at the clearance limit, air traffic control shall advise the pilot “no delay expected”.

2. Arriving Flights 2.1 Bagram, Kabul, and Kandahar Airfields. All arriving aircraft will contact ATC for air

traffic approach service prior to entering Class C airspace. If no contact is made with ATC prior to entering the Class C, the pilot will discontinue the approach and either hold at pilot’s discretion outside the Class C and continue to attempt to contact ATC or divert to alternate airfield. If diverting is not possible declare an emergency and apply loss of communication procedures as per ENR 1.6.2 Radio Failure Procedures.

2.1.2 All arriving aircraft must remain above FL160 until 20NM from Kabul Airfield unless under Bagram Arrival Control, Kabul Arrival Control or Kabul Approach Control and approved for descent below FL 160.

2.2 All Other Airfields. All civil aircraft capable of flight above FL160, must track to airfields not serviced by an air route via the air route that passes closest to the destination airfield. Once abeam the destination airfield, aircraft must depart Class E airspace at 90 degrees to the air route, remaining at the assigned altitude until established inside Class G airspace. Pilots must cancel IFR prior to leaving Class E airspace and avoid any active military airspace as notified by ATC.

2.2.2 Pilots will cancel their IFR clearance prior to leaving Class E airspace when inbound to airports that do not have approach procedures.

2.2.3 Common safety frequency VHF 125.2MHz for all uncontrolled airfields in Afghanistan.

2.3 Visual Approach Procedure. Aircraft requesting a visual approach must meet the following criteria:

a. The aircraft is within 30NM of the destination; and

b. The pilot has established, and can continue flight to the aerodrome with continuous visual reference to the ground or water; and

c. At night, the pilot reports the aerodrome in sight; and

d. Visual meteorological conditions exist at the destination aerodrome; or the pilot reports at the initial approach level or at any time during the instrument approach procedure that the meteorological conditions are such that a visual approach and landing can be completed.

2.3.1 Unless otherwise instructed by ATC, aircraft cleared to execute a visual approach shall maintain their own navigation until within five nautical miles of the destination aerodrome, or by night within the prescribed circling area, and then manoeuvre via the shortest route to base or final of the assigned RWY.

2.3.2 An aircraft executing a visual approach may descend when ready from its previously assigned level and must maintain at least 500ft above the base of the control area and, by day, shall comply with ENR 1.2.2.3 regarding altitude restrictions above terrain and built up areas. An aircraft executing visual approach at night shall comply with these instructions and maintain the last assigned altitude or minimum safe altitude if lower, until established within the circling area. Then remain within the circling area and manoeuvre via the shortest route to base or final for the assigned RWY.



2.3.3 At night, international HEAVY wake turbulence category aircraft shall be processed via a straight in instrument approach, such as ILS or VOR/DME approach. When a straight-in instrument approach is not available or is unsuitable in prevailing conditions, international HEAVY aircraft are to conduct a straight-in visual approach via 10NM final.

3. Departing Flights 3.1 Kabul International Airport: All departing traffic must climb to at least FL160 within

20 NM of Kabul unless otherwise directed by Kabul Approach Control.

3.2 Bagram and Kandahar Airfields: Pilots will contact tower at least 10 minutes before takeoff in order that their departure can be de-conflicted from any military operations taking place in the immediate vicinity of the airfield or affecting their outbound route.

3.3 All other Airfields: Contact the airfield tower, if available, at least 10 minutes before departure. Flights must squawk Mode 3/A assigned code before departure. Once airborne, contact the Kabul ACC and provide call sign, airfield departing from, flight level passing, flight level climbing to, and direction of flight.

3.4 Civilian aircraft capable of flight above FL160 shall limit transit time within Class G by tracking to and joining the air route passing closest to the departure airfield. ATC will advise these aircraft of known military activities which may affect aircraft tracking.

NOTE: The aforementioned procedure does not replace or negate the need for a flight plan. Operators using these procedures are still responsible for filing an ICAO flight plan and obtaining applicable diplomatic clearances. Normal ATC procedures apply outside Afghanistan.

4. Military and Civil Aircraft Lighting Requirements 4.1 Military aircraft will operate with all lights and strobes when at or above FL280 in

Afghanistan airspace. Military airlift aircraft will operate upper strobes only when cruising below FL280.

4.2 Military aircraft will turn off all external lighting prior to descent/entry into tactical areas of control.

4.3 All civil aircraft operating between the hours of sunset and sunrise shall operate external lighting in accordance with Annex 2 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation.



ENR 1.6 ATC SURVEILLANCE SERVICES AND PROCEDURES 1. Services and Coverage 1.1 ATC Surveillance System: ATC surveillance service is only available within the

following terminal areas:

a. Bagram Airfield.

b. Bastion Airfield.

c. Kabul Airport.

d. Kandahar Airfield.

1.2 There is no en-route ATC Surveillance System within the Kabul FIR. Air traffic control applies Procedural (non-ATC Surveillance System) separation standards to aircraft flying in the high and low en-route airway structures.

2. Radio Failure Procedures 2.1 High Altitude Structure. Aircraft transiting the airspace shall proceed with the last

assigned ATC instruction and contact the next State IAW ICAO Doc 4444 and the receiving State’s AIP instruction.

2.2 Low Altitude Structure. All aircraft entering the Low Altitude Structure shall call the Kabul ACC 10 minutes prior to crossing the Kabul FIR boundary. If two-way radio communication cannot be established with the Kabul ACC prior to crossing the boundary IFR service will be terminated at the Kabul FIR boundary.

2.3 After crossing the Kabul FIR boundary, if two-way radio communication is not established, aircraft must adjust altitude to a VFR cruising altitude.

2.4 If aircraft re-establish two-way radio contact after crossing the Kabul FIR boundary, then an IFR clearance can be requested with the Kabul ACC. Aircraft must maintain VFR until an IFR clearance is received.

2.5 Total Aircraft Communications Failure. In the event that a pilot suffers a total communications failure, he shall squawk mode 3/A code 7600 and proceed on last assigned airway and flight level in accordance with standard ICAO procedures located in ICAO 4444 15.2.

3. Deviation from Airways 3.1 Aircraft deviating from the low and high airways without ATC clearance are entering

Class G airspace and restricted military areas and will be subjected to fighter interception, ICAO sanctions, and denial of future overflights.



ENR 1.7 ALTIMETER SETTING PROCEDURES 1. Standard Altimeter Pressure Setting 1.1 The altimeter pressure setting to be used for flight within the Kabul FIR is the

standard altimeter pressure setting of 29.92 INS or 1013 hectopascals/millibars, with the exception of flight at or below the Transition Altitude within Class A, C and D airspace and designated Control Zones (CTRs), where local altimeter setting will be used.

1.2 Transition Altitude. The altitude at or below which, the vertical position of an aircraft is controlled by reference to altitudes. The transition altitude for Kabul FIR is 14 000 ft AMSL. Vertical positioning of aircraft at or below the transition altitude is expressed in terms of altitude

1.3 Transition Layer. The airspace between the transition altitude and the transition level. While passing through the transition layer, vertical position shall be expressed in terms of flight levels when climbing and in terms of altitudes when descending. Aircraft shall not cruise within the transition layer.

1.4. Transition Level. The lowest flight level available for use above the transition altitude. The transition level for Kabul FIR is established at FL160. Levels at or above the transition level are expressed in terms of flight levels.

2. Flight Levels 2.1 Use of any flight level other than assigned is not authorized unless for an emergency.

2.2 Selected flight levels shall be compatible with Appendix 3 of Annex 2 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, Table of Cruising Levels.

2.3 VFR aircraft will fly in accordance with the Table of Cruising Levels in Appendix 3 of ICAO Annex 2 (also referred to as Semi-Circular Cruising Levels/0-179 degrees odd flight levels, 180-359 degrees even flight levels) plus 500ft. There is currently no level restriction for Military VFR operations above FL290 in Class G airspace.

2.4 CAUTION: Afghanistan is mountainous terrain with peaks over 22 000 ft AMSL. Pilots are advised of high terrain in vicinity of routings. For example:

V338 (GEROR-MURAD): 16 580ft peak N34º38' E067º37' (north edge of airway)

A453 (MURAD-PAROD): 14 800ft peak N33º26' E067º53'

M920 (QUINA – DOSHI): 16 440ft peak N35º21' E068º47'

G206 (ALAMI – SABAR): 18 832ft peak N35º38' E070º53'.

2.5 Altitude changes for IFR aircraft are provided by air traffic control within the Kabul FIR once established on an airway in the Kabul ACC High En-route Structure.

2.6 Aircraft entering the Turkmenabat FIR are to fly at even 2 000ft levels above FL200 (FL220, FL240, etc) in accordance with the Table of Cruising Levels. Only IFR aircraft will enter the Turkmenabat FIR at FL200 and above. No VFR aircraft will be permitted to fly into Turkmenabat FIR at FL200 and above.



ENR 1.8 REGIONAL SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES 1. Transit of Helmand Province below FL160 1.1 The airspace within Helmand Province is a non-radar environment with a mix of Class

G and Bastion Class E airspace however pilots will only receive a Class G service in this area due to military operations. The airspace is controlled by a military Tactical Command and Control (TAC C2) agency, call sign “OVERLORD.” It provides an airspace de-confliction service for civil and military aircraft operating in this airspace.

1.2 Pilots must contact the appropriate TAC C2 agency, as described below, when entering Helmand Province airspace for approval to transit. Aircraft will then be cleared via a series of control points at an assigned altitude that provide routes clear of military restricted areas.

1.3 OVERLORD utilizes the control points listed below and must be contacted on 133.825Mhz at least 5NM prior to the following control points:

a. A1, Ocean Spray or Sierra Mist if entering from the east;

b. Winston if entering from the west;

c. Snow Peak or Winston if entering from the north;

d. Tab if entering from the south;

ENR 1.13 UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE 1. General 1.1 An aircraft which is being subjected to unlawful interference shall endeavour to notify

the appropriate ATS unit of this fact, any significant circumstances associated therewith and any deviation from the current flight plan necessitated by the circumstances, in order to enable the ATS unit to give priority to the aircraft and to minimize conflict with other aircraft.

1.2 The following procedures are intended for use by aircraft when unlawful interference occurs and the aircraft is unable to notify an ATS unit of this fact via normal air-ground voice communications.

2. Procedures 2.1 Unless considerations aboard the aircraft dictate otherwise, the pilot-in-command

should attempt to continue flying on the assigned track and at the assigned cruising level at least until notification to an ATS unit is possible or the aircraft is within ATC Surveillance System coverage.

2.2 When an aircraft subjected to an act of unlawful interference must depart from its assigned track or its assigned cruising level without being able to make radiotelephony contact with ATS, the pilot-in-command should, whenever possible:

2.2.1 Attempt to broadcast warnings on the VHF emergency frequency and other appropriate frequencies, unless considerations aboard the aircraft dictate otherwise. Other equipment such as onboard transponders, data links, etc. should also be used when it is advantageous to do so and circumstances permit; and

2.2.2 Proceed in accordance with applicable special procedures for in-flight contingencies, where such procedures have been established and promulgated in Doc 7030 – Regional Supplementary Procedures; or

2.2.3 If no applicable regional procedures have been established, proceed at a level which differs from the cruising levels normally used for IFR flight in the area by 2 000 ft (600 M) if above FL 290 or by 1000 ft (300 M) if below FL 290.

2.3 An aircraft equipped with an SSR transponder is expected to operate the transponder on Mode 3/A Code 7500 to indicate specifically that it is the subject of unlawful interference. The aircraft may operate the transponder on Mode 3/A Code 7700, to indicate that it is threatened by grave and imminent danger, and requires immediate assistance.

2.4 Action to be taken by SSR-equipped aircraft which are being subjected to unlawful interference is contained in Annex 11, the PANS-ATM (Doc 4444) and the PANS-OPS (Doc 8168). Action to be taken by CPDLC-equipped aircraft which are being subjected to unlawful interference is contained in Annex 11, the PANS-ATM (Doc 4444), and guidance material on the subject is contained in the Manual of Air Traffic Services Data Link Applications (Doc 9694).



ENR 1.14 AIR TRAFFIC INCIDENTS The Air Traffic Incident procedures described below are derived from Appendix 4 to ICAO Doc 4444 Procedures for Air Navigation Services – Air Traffic Management

1. Definition of Air Traffic Incidents 1.1 Air traffic incident. A serious occurrence related to the provision of air traffic services,

such as:

a. Aircraft proximity (AIRPROX),

b. Serious difficulty resulting in a hazard to aircraft caused, for example, by:

i) Faulty procedures,

ii) Non-compliance with procedures, or

iii) Failure of ground facilities.

2. Definitions of Aircraft Proximity (AIRPROX) 2.1 Aircraft proximity (AIRPROX). A situation in which, in the opinion of the pilot or air

traffic services personal, the distance between aircraft, as well as relative positions and speed, has been such that the safety of the aircraft involved may have been compromised. Aircraft proximity is classified as follows:

a. Risk of collision. The risk classification of aircraft proximity in which serious risk of collision has existed.

b. Safety not assured. The risk classification of aircraft proximity in which the safety of the aircraft may have been compromised.

c. No risk of collision. The risk classification of aircraft proximity in which no risk of collision has existed.

d. Risk to be determined. The risk classification of aircraft proximity in which insufficient information was available to determine the risk involved, or inconclusive or conflicting evidence precluded such determination.

2.2 AIRPROX. The code word used in an air traffic incident report to designate aircraft proximity.

3. Designation of Air Traffic Incidents 3.1 Air traffic incidents are designated and identified in reports as follows:

TYPE DESIGNATION Air Traffic Incident Incident

as 1.1 above AIRPROX (aircraft proximity)

as 1.1 b i & ii above Procedure

as 1.1.b iii above Facility

4. Use of the Air Traffic Incident Report Form (link below) 4.1 The Air Traffic Incident Report Form is intended for use:

a. By a pilot for filing a report on an air traffic incident after arrival or for confirming a report made initially by radio during flight.

Note: The form, if available on board, may also be of use in providing a template for making the initial report in flight.

b. By an ATS unit for recording an air traffic incident report received by radio, telephone or teleprinter.



Note: The form may be used as a template for the text of a message to be transmitted over the AFS network.

http://www.motca.gov.af/fileadmin/user_upload/doc/important_info/afghan_air_traffic_incident.pdf

5. Reporting Procedures (including In-Flight Procedures) 5.1 The following are the procedures to be followed by a pilot who is or has been involved

in an incident.

5.1.1 During flight, use the appropriate air/ground frequency for reporting an incident of major significance, particularly if it involves other aircraft, so as to permit the facts to be ascertained immediately. Inform air traffic control immediately of intentions to file a report to facilitate a timely investigation.

5.1.2 As promptly as possible after landing, submit a completed Air Traffic Incident Report Form for the following reasons:

5.1.2.1 Confirming a report of an incident made initially via air/ground frequency, or for making the initial report on such an incident if it had not been possible to report it by radio.

5.1.2.2 For reporting an incident that did not require immediate notification at the time of occurrence.

5.2 An initial report made by radio should contain the following information:

a. Aircraft identification

b. Type of incident, e.g. aircraft proximity

c. The incident details of sections A, F, I, J, K, L, M, N and O in the form in section 7 below.

d. The confirmatory report of an incident of major significance initially reported by radio or the initial report on any other incident should be submitted to each of the following;

MoTCA via fax: (00873) 762-523-846

MoTCA liaison: 93 (0) 700 281 691 CFACC Safety: [email protected]

ENR 3 ATS ROUTES

ENR 3.1 LOWER ATS ROUTES 1. The Low Air Route structure comprises of air routes as per ENR 3.1.6. These Air

Routes are 20 NM wide, 10 NM either side of the designated track, from FL160 up to and including FL290. Any deviation from the civil air routes and flight levels may cause traffic conflicts with ongoing military operations. Failure to comply with these procedures may result in interception by armed coalition fighter aircraft

2. When entering the Low Altitude Structure at or below FL290 from the North between LEMOD Waypoint on M696 clockwise to LAJAK Waypoint on M696, aircraft shall contact Kabul ACC on 118.3 VHF or 242.6 UHF. When entering Kabul ACC at or below FL 290 from the South between RIMPA Waypoint on G202 clockwise to RANAH Waypoint on V838, aircraft shall contact Kabul ACC on 120.9 VHF or 361.0 UHF. If unable to contact Kabul ACC on VHF or UHF, attempt to contact via HF frequencies 5658 or 10018. All aircraft, both IFR and VFR, must continually monitor the frequency assigned by air traffic control.

2.1 125.2MHz shall be monitored when unable to establish two way communications with the Kabul Area Control Centre (KACC) while on an Air Route.

3. All air routes are identified by latitude and longitude references and utilize modified RNP-10 requirements. Aircraft must be capable of maintaining RNP-10 without reliance on ground based navigation aid updates in the Kabul FIR.

4. HEAVY wake turbulence category aircraft (aircraft with a MTOW greater than 136 000 Kg) shall follow IFR procedures when transiting via Class E Air Routes.

5. Short notice artillery fire by Coalition Forces may close portions of airways A466, N644 and A453 in vicinity of Salerno (N 33º22’ 04” E 069º 57’ 45”). Aircraft in contact with Kabul ACC will be rerouted to avoid artillery areas when active. VFR aircraft not in contact with Kabul ACC should monitor guard frequency 121.5 or 243.0 while in the vicinity of Salerno to obtain artillery fire warning broadcasts or contact Kabul ACC for additional information.

6. The Low Air Routes with applicable minimum obstacle clearance altitude MOCA and minimum radio reception altitude (MRA) are listed in the table below.

ENR 3.2 UPPER ATS ROUTES 1. The High En-route Structure comprises upper air routes B466, G792, L750,N644 A466,

M881, P500, G796 and UL333 (see ENR 3.2.8). The air routes are 20 NM wide, 10 NM either side of the designated track, above FL290 to FL450. Aircraft will generally be assigned standard levels according to direction between the Lowest Assignable Level (LAL) of FL310 and the Maximum Assignable Level (MAL) of FL430.

2. From 2000 Z – 2359 Z daily, the lower boundary of Class A airspace drops to above FL270, allowing a LAL of FL280, on air routes L750, N644, A466 and G796 only.

3. All High En-route Structure over-flight aircraft must contact the Kabul ACC 10 minutes prior to entering the FIR boundary. If entering via B466/G792, L750, N644, M881, A466 or UL333, aircraft must contact Kabul ACC on 128.5 VHF.

3.1 125.2 MHz shall be monitored when unable to establish two way communications with the Kabul Area Control Centre (KACC) while on an Air Route.

4. All air routes are identified by latitude and longitude references and utilize modified RNP-10 requirements.

5. RVSM is not authorized in the Kabul FIR.

6. These routes are only for aircraft overflying the Kabul FIR that will not land at any underlying airfield unless an emergency aircraft under ICAO emergency procedures.

7. Short notice artillery fire by Coalition Forces may close portions of airways A466, N644 and A453 in vicinity of Salerno (N 33º 22’ 04” E 069º 57’ 45”). Aircraft in contact with Kabul ACC will be rerouted to avoid artillery areas when active. VFR aircraft not in contact with Kabul ACC should monitor guard frequency 121.5 or 243.0 while in the vicinity of Salerno to obtain artillery fire warning broadcasts or contact Kabul ACC for additional information.

8. The High Air Routes with applicable minimum obstacle clearance altitude MOCA and minimum radio reception altitude (MRA) are listed in the table below.

ENR 5 NAVIGATION WARNINGS

ENR 5.1 PROHIBITED, RESTRICTED AND DANGER AREAS 1. Introduction 1.1 All airspace in which a potential hazard to aircraft operations may exist and all areas

over which the operation of civil aircraft may, for one reason or another, be restricted either temporarily or permanently, are classified according to the following three types of areas as defined by ICAO.

2. Definitions 2.1 Prohibited Area. Airspace of defined dimensions above the land areas or territorial

waters of the State of Afghanistan, within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited. This term is used only when the flight of civil aircraft within the designated airspace is not permitted at any time under any circumstances.

2.2 Restricted Area. Airspace of defined dimensions above the land areas or territorial waters of the State of Afghanistan, within which the flight of aircraft is restricted in accordance with certain specified conditions. This term is used whenever the flight of civil aircraft within the designated airspace is not absolutely prohibited but may be made only if specified conditions are complied with. Thus, prohibition of flight, except at certain specified times, leads to the designation of the airspace as a restricted area as would prohibition except in certain meteorological conditions. Similarly, prohibition of flight, unless special permission had been obtained, leads to the designation of a restricted area. However, conditions of flight imposed as a result of application of rules of the air or air traffic service practices or procedures (for example, compliance with minimum safe heights or with rules stemming from the establishment of controlled airspace) do not constitute conditions calling for designation as a restricted area.

2.3 Danger Area. Airspace of defined dimensions within which activities dangerous to the flight of aircraft may exist at specified times. This term is used only when the potential danger to aircraft has not led to the designation of the airspace as restricted or prohibited. The effect of the creation of the danger area is to caution operators or pilots of aircraft that it is necessary for them to assess the dangers in relation to their responsibility for the safety of their aircraft.

3. Designations 3.1 The type of area involved is indicated by the nationality letters OA, then a slash (/),

followed by the letter -P- for Prohibited, -R- for Restricted and -D- for Danger. Each area is numbered and a single series of numbers is used for all areas, regardless to type, to ensure that a number is never duplicated. Each number has three digits; the first digit indicates the last digit of the area’s latitude, from 29º N to 38º N, the remaining two being a sequence number.

ENR 5.5 AERIAL SPORTING AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES 1. There is no known aerial sporting or recreational activities affecting the Kabul FIR.



ENR 5.6 BIRD MIGRATION AND AREAS WITH SENSITIVE FAUNA 1. Introduction 1.1 The following information was gathered after the examination of Kabul International

Airport, Kandahar, Mazar-e-Sharif, Herat, Bagram and Tarin Kot’s bird activities.

2. Afghanistan’s Geography, Climate and Vegetation 2.1 Afghanistan is located in the centre of Asia and is landlocked between Pakistan, Iran,

Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and China. The country is mountainous and is mostly situated above 2 000 meters altitude. The climate is continental, arid to semiarid, with a low annual precipitation (on average the yearly precipitation is 335 mm), resulting in droughts and limited fresh water availability in large parts of the country. It mainly rains and snows between October and April. The snow from the mountains feeds the rivers year round. Afghanistan has many rivers that are suitable for irrigating their valleys. The largest part of the country is dry with steppe vegetation. This part is used for grazing livestock and for growing crops that require dry conditions. The remaining areas are either too dry or too rugged for growing crops and are therefore grazed by livestock. Trees are scarce and currently present in forests (East-Afghanistan), river valleys and in orchards and built-up areas.

3. Bird Strikes 3.1 A bird strike database is missing in Afghanistan. In general, the number of bird strikes

is low in the October to March period, most bird strikes occur in summer, except for the month of July, and during fall migration. Weights of the birds that were involved in the bird strikes can be categorised as follows:

- Up to 50 grams: Strikes involved small birds like swallows, sparrows and larks.

- Between 50 and 100 grams: Strikes involved birds like thrushes and starlings.

- Between 100 and 500 grams: Strikes involved birds like waders, plovers, ducks and pigeons.

4. Birds 4.1 Since Afghanistan is in the middle of the breeding (Russia) and wintering (India /

Africa) ranges of many species, high bird numbers occur during spring and fall migration. Since these migrating birds have, like many juvenile birds that fledge in summer, no experience with aircraft, the most bird strikes occur in these periods. Birds that have been observed in Afghanistan:

4.1.1 Geese. At Mazar-e-Sharif, geese (among which Graylag Goose and White-fronted goose could be identified) were found in the grass strips adjacent to the runway. Data about their numbers, arrival and departure dates, time of day visiting the airport, etc. were not recorded, but around 1 000 geese were present during the whole month of January. Geese have not been recorded at the other airfields.

4.1.2 Birds related to water and moist soils - waterfowl, waders and plovers. Open waters and moist soils were not present at Mazar-e-Sharif and Herat. Kandahar had the most water; a kilometer long creek with adjacent marsh land (width 25 meters), 2 ponds and 1 sewage pit. The 1-hectare pond close to the runway attracted most waterfowl. Observing the birds arriving at and departing from this pond, it appeared that the following species crossed the aircraft flight paths: Black-headed gulls, Dunlins, Black-winged stilts, Night-herons and Shovelers. The other pond, creek and sewage pit had single numbers of Little-ringed plover (, Black-winged stilt, Intermediate egret, Green sandpiper and Ruff. At Tarin Kot, a few birds were present in the sewage pits: Black-winged stilts, Ruff and Lapwing. Birds never occur in the creeks of Kabul and Bagram (including Bagram’s small pond), according to the local personnel. This may be due to pollution; Kabul’s creek is used as a sewage outlet and



the water of Bagram’s creek and pond had a chemical colour and smelt polluted. Near the runway of Kabul, Lapwings were observed at the end of March. After the first rains migrating waterfowl showed up at Kabul. Tens of Curlews, Avocets and small plovers were present. On April, Cormorants were observed circling above Bagram’s runway and then heading for the river valley. On March, White-tailed lapwings were present in the vicinity of Bagram. Gulls, ducks and other waterfowl showed up in Bagram and Kabul during rainfall in Sept - Oct and March- April (fall and spring migration season). 10’s of Great Black-headed gulls even showed up at Kabul during snowfall in February. At Bagram, thousands of Demoiselle cranes have been observed in the last years passing by on route to their northern breeding grounds in March and April. These flights coincided with the aircraft flight paths. Like with the geese at Mazar-e-Sharif, data about the numbers of cranes, arrival and departure dates, time of day passing by, height of flight, etc. have never been recorded. Therefore, it is not known whether the Demoiselle cranes use the Ghorban valley as a stop-over site, or that they continue their flight without stopping. In other years, some Demoiselle cranes were even spotted at the airfield itself.

4.1.3 Birds of prey. Most birds of prey (raptors) hunt for living animals while a few birds, like vultures, rely on carrion (dead animals and animal parts found in garbage). A few species, like kites, feed on a mix of carrion and animals captured alive. Of all raptors, vultures are most hazardous to aircraft because of their weight and the many hours spent soaring in the air looking for carrion. According to the bird guide (Birds of South Asia), a few vulture species are inhabitants of Afghanistan. Although huge numbers of sheep and goat were grazing the steppes and semi-deserts, the number per flock was small and each flock was tended by a shepherd. It is expected that the shepherds take away the animals before dying, leaving no food for vultures and kites. At the airfields, carcasses of wild animals are rare and if present, they are eaten by Jackals and foxes. Carrion can only be found in the burn pits at Kandahar, Tarin Kot and Bagram, being meat left-overs from the restaurants. The garbage at the other airfields is transported to landfills outside the airfields. At Kandahar and Tarin Kot the burn pits were not visited by birds of prey. Only Bagram´s burn pit attracted raptors; Black-eared kites were present at the burn pit early in the mornings. Black-eared kites were observed soaring at different places above the Ghorband river valley, adjacent to Bagram. Around dawn and dusk they soared up to 1 kilometer above the river valley, coinciding with the flight paths of aircraft flying over the valley. According to Bagram´s personnel, the Black-eared kites are, like the Demoiselle cranes, only present in the migration periods. Other raptors that were observed at Bagram are (in single numbers) the Long-legged buzzard, Kestrel, Osprey and Shorteared Owl. At Kandahar, few raptors were observed, i.e. the Pallied harrier and Kestrel. Steppe eagles were spotted at Mazar-e-Sharif and at Herat. Other raptors at Herat were the Kestrel and the Black kite. At Kabul airport, in total 5 species of raptors were observed; Pallid harrier, Kestrel, Steppe eagle and Black-eared kites on migration. Besides the Black-eared kites, all other birds of prey were observed hunting for small animals.

4.1.4 Passerines, partridges and pigeons. Since the vegetation of the airfields is not being grazed by sheep and goats, or being mowed (except Kabul) the vegetation at all airfields is more natural, lush and dense than the vegetation in the vicinity. For this reason, more seeds and insects are present at the airfields than in the vicinity, and thus the airfields are more attractive to birds. At each airfield, House sparrows and Tree sparrows are present. As observed at Kabul, these species reach high numbers in spring and summer, finding abundant insects, that thrive in the lush vegetation, and seeds produced by grasses and other plants. Furthermore, 10’s of Barn Swallows and Crested Larks were present at each airfield, feeding on insects. The Crested lark finds insects on the ground; the Barn swallow is catching insects in the air. At Bagram, single Swifts and Alpine swifts were observed. These bird species are, like the Barn



swallow, foraging on flying insects. Bee-eaters also catch flying insects. The bee-eaters didn’t arrive yet from their wintering ranges, but are expected to be present at all airfields during summer. As observed at Kabul in 2007, a few hundred of Barn swallows and tens of Bee-eaters were present in July and August, attracted by the insects flying in above the vegetation. Furthermore, many other small passerines have been observed, among which are Yellow wagtail, Isabelline shrike, Blue throat, Stonechat and Red-breasted flycatcher. These species typically are not hazardous to aircraft because they rarely cross the runway. The Black francolin (both male and female) was observed at Kandahar. From the pigeon family, the Laughing dove was present at all airfields. They rarely cross the runway, since they can find enough food in the built-up areas. The Racing pigeons, kept by pigeon-fanciers in the vicinity and their feral relatives were observed crossing the runway at all airbases.

4.1.5 Species from built-up areas. House and Tree Sparrow, Racing pigeon, Laughing dove, Magpie (Pica pica) and Myna find shelter in the camp-sites at all airbases. In winter, up to 5,000 Mynas roost in various buildings and trees at Bagram. Of particular concern are the approximately 1 000 Mynas roosting in the helicopter hangars; these birds cause a lot of trouble with their droppings and noise. The nets to make the awnings of the hangars at Bagram inaccessible for the Mynas were put underneath only 90% of the awnings. The few uncovered parts were used by the Mynas to get access into the awnings. At other airfields, Mynas are, like the other birds in the built-up areas, rarely troublesome.

OAIX AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

2.23.1 Transient and Civilian aircraft: Airfield Management (AM) is the focal point for all inbound transient or civilian aircraft. AM will provide the Control Tower with the call sign, aircraft type and ETA of those transient/civilian aircraft approved to land without a Prior Permission Required (PPR) number. The Control Tower will direct transient aircraft to the most suitable parking spot as directed by AM or Transient Alert.

2.23.2 Transient wide body aircraft must not block out of parking unless assisted by Transient Alert.

2.23.3. Flight Planning Procedures: Bagram Airfield uses the Prior Permission Required (PPR) and Air Force Central Command (AFCC) Procedures to schedule the flow of aircraft missions to/from Bagram Airfield. These missions include Air Mobility Division (AMD) missions (US and Canadian C-130s), all TACC missions (C-17/C-5 and HQ AMC Commercial Missions in GDSS) and all Civil, Civil Tender and Coalition Airlift Missions. AM has the capability to submit flight plans and changes through the IMT System. AM does not have the ability to fax or submit flight plans through the Host Nation. RON PPRs are approved on a case by case basis and may take 24-hours to approve.

2.23.4. Units not able to file flight plans in person may submit them to AM either via email at [email protected] or (318) 431-4411. Units filing flight plans by e-mail must maintain all original flight planning forms for disposition IAW Air Force WEB-RIMS Records Disposition Schedule (RDS). AM cannot accept flight plans by fax as AM has no fax capability. The Army does not file flight plans through AM for rotary wing aircraft. Army units may use a “Ramp Tracker” accountability process for helicopter movements. The Army shall retain any written “Ramp Tracker” or Air Tasking Order documents for one year.

2.23.5. AM will not approve transient aircrew requests to remain over night (RON) until billeting has been approved for the aircrew. AM will forward all RON requests to Air Force Billeting via e-mail.

2.23.6. Golf Ramp is located south of Foxtrot Ramp and is used for helicopter parking only. All users must follow painted taxiway and parking spot lead in lines to ensure separation from other rotary wing aircraft. Helicopters will not taxi or park on Foxtrot Ramp. See airfield diagram 2.24.2.

2.23.7. Foxtrot Ramp is used for light fixed wing aircraft parking only. Aircraft will enter Foxtrot Ramp from the north end of the ramp and must follow taxiwy and parking spot lead in lines to ensure separation from other aircraft. Fixed wing aircraft will not park or taxi on Golf Ramp. See airfield diagram 2.24.2.

2.20.1 Nil.

OAZI AD 2.21 NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

2.21.1 Flights over the domestic area are to be avoided.

OAZI AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES

2.22.1 No facility exists to accept routine civilian aircraft. Operators of such aircraft intending to use Bastion may be allowed to do so for flights ‘in support of theatre’ providing PPR is obtained through [email protected]. Military sponsors of such flights are to contact RAF Air Operations for permission to operate. PPRs are valid for +/- 15 mins; crews arriving outside of their allocated PPR may be refused permission to land. Due to parking limitations at Bastion, crews are to ensure they depart in accordance with their slot time in order to release the parking space for inbound aircraft.

2.22.2 All flight procedures are to be in accordance with UK MOD JSPs, CAP774 and the Bastion Flying Order Book (FOB). The FOB can be obtained from RAF Air Ops.

2.22.3 Helicopter operations. ATC have positive control over all helicopter movements including repositioning between helispots. Some clearance given by ATC to rotary-wing will be discretionary due to poor line-of-sight from the Tower and high levels of vehicular movement around helispots. Helicopters are to request ATC permission to cross the main runways or extended centrelines. Aircraft crossing at the midpoint are to do so not below 300ft AGL.

2.22.4 IFR and VFR Radar services are available to inbound and departing aircraft below flight level 160 out to 40 miles from the aerodrome. All services conform to JSP 552 regulations (UK). IFR services available on request. Crews should note that there will be multiple aircraft operating VFR within the CTA working other agencies due to the tactical situation. Crews recovering VFR can expect to be given vectors and height restrictions for sequencing in limited airspace. Crews should inform ATC if compliance with ATC instructions means they cannot continue their flight VFR. Crews operating VFR under ATC vectors are still responsible for terrain separation and separation against all other traffic within the CTA.

2.22.5 IFR service available for arrivals and departures routing via DILAM with transfer to KACC. No IFR service is available eastbound on G202 after DOLAN; direct routing is available VFR with MISER. Aircraft departing Bastion to join controlled airspace at DILAM must pass Bastion Ground their requested FL, destination airport, route and exit point through Afghan Airspace and estimate for DILAM.




2.22.6 Inbound crews must contact call sign ‘MISER’ prior to arrival on 128.6 MHz’ and must be in receipt of a positive clearance from ATC prior to entering the CTR.

2.22.7 First time arrivals planning to route into Bastion are to contact Bastion ATC prior to arrival for an appropriate briefing on ATC procedures and current work in progress.

2.22.8 Various UAV holding areas are established within the vicinity of Bastion; all aircraft are to comply with ATC instructions for de-confliction. UAV holds active H24.

2.22.9 All crews are to request engine start on ‘Bastion Ground’ VHF frequency, passing their Persons on Board in either RAMROD or clear, and outbound sector, either in TACREP or clear. Crews will be advised when to contact ‘Bastion Tower’ for taxi instructions and clearances. All inbound crews are to contact ‘Bastion Tower’ passing their Persons on Board in either RAMROD or clear, and inbound sector, either in TACREP or clear. No crews are to enter the CTR without permission from Bastion ATC. In the event of VHF radio failure, Bastion ATC will monitor UHF frequency 385.0MHz, call sign ‘Bastion Tower UHF’.

2.22.10 Mandatory Navigation light settings – During daylight hours normal lighting is to be selected within 3NM. At night, as a minimum, covert lighting is to be selected within 7NM (CTR Boundary). Inside 3NM, normal lighting is to be switched on, however if the tactical situation dictates, then covert lighting may be maintained; crews must ensure they inform ATC prior to using covert lighting to enable deconfliction with other aircraft.

2.22.11 Types of recovery available - VFR, IFR, TACAN, Radar to Visual Straight in Approach, Radar to Overhead (Military only) and SRA (ASR).’

2.22.12 When the reported visibility falls below 5 000m Low Visibility Procedures will be enforced. Fixed wing aircraft should expect to make an IFR approach. Crews will not be descended below the Terrain Safe Level until the pilot confirms he is visual with the runway and is able to continue visually.

OAZI AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

2.23.1 Direct over-flights of the domestic site are restricted to Hospital HLS in/outbound only.

2.23.2 RADHAZ from Watchman radar at 31º50"53’N 064º13"15'E: avoidance, radius 150m, 3500ft AMSL.

2.23.3 Numerous ROZs and airspace restrictions may be in force at any time in the vicinity of Bastion airfield. Details on ATIS or on request from MISER, Bastion App/Twr or from the ACO.

2.23.4 Numerous aircraft types operate VFR within the CTA and at various levels on different profiles. Contact with ATC and compliance with instructions is mandatory within the Bastion CTR. Entry to the CTR may be prohibited for short periods during certain aircraft movements.

2.23.5 Prior booking via RAF Air Ops and issue of PPR is mandatory for civil and military crews . All PPR timings are to be adhered to due to lack of available parking space. Crews arriving outside +/- 15mins of PPR could be refused landing clearance. The OAZI PPR form is available at ENR 1.9.

2.23.6 All ATC Services are provided in accordance with JSP 552 and CAP 774.

2.23.7 All flights into Bastion must have sufficient fuel to meet their arrival and departure times. Crews should be prepared for minimum ground times due to parking restrictions. Crews should also ensure that they have holding fuel for potential air delays due to sequencing and unforeseen circumstances and sufficient fuel to make their onward diversion airfield if required. No fuel is available routinely; fixed wing aircraft will only be refuelled in extreme circumstances.



2.23.8 Crews may notice a discrepancy between surface wind information passed by ATC and the wind experienced between 200ft and 500ft AGL at Bastion. This typically occurs between 0100-0400(D) but may be experienced at other times. This is believed to be caused by the nocturnal jet phenomenon. The wind experienced between 200ft and 500ft AGL can be up to 30 - 40 kts different from the surface wind and can vary in direction. Should crews experience this phenomenon they should report it to ATC. Additionally, should crews request a different runway for final approach, the request should be made to ATC.

2.23.9 Rotary hydraulic arrestor cables (RHAG) located 1 000ft from threshold. Standard configuration is de-rigged. 15mins notice required if crews require a cable to be raised.

2.23.10 Heavy aircraft must taxy to the threshold before making a left 180 degree turn to backtrack. This is to prevent FOD on the dispersals and because of the limited RWY width. C130 may turn 180 degrees at their discretion on the RWY.

2.23.11 RWY, TACAN, PSR and SSR scheduled maintenance 0630L-1230L (Winter), 0530L-1130L (Summer) every Saturday. No PPR bookings available during this time.

2.23.12 Met balloon launches 1100Z and 2300Z daily.

OAHR AD 2.20 LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

2.20.1 VMC: Radio failure procedures. Aircraft experiencing radio failure will approach Herat aerodrome blind transmitting his position and intentions. Aircraft will joint mid field right hand downwind RWY36 (east), cross the extended center line, see and avoid other traffic in progress (flying and/or taxiing) and rocking wings overfly heading north the aerodrome between RWY and military compound. Obtain runway in use from the wind sock.

2.20.1.1 Pilot should continue blind transmit position reports while performing airport traffic pattern. Pilot should look for and follow TWR controller light signal indications. Steady green light indicates landing clearance. In case of no light signals from TWR, the pilot shall perform a left hand turn and repeat the sequence above, waiting a landing clearance is received.

2.20.1.2 After the second over flight, if no signal is received from the TWR, pilot is cleared to land at his own discretion and responsibility. If runway is occupied, go around procedures will be executed.

2.20.1.3 After landing, civilian aircraft shall proceed to north apron and military aircraft will proceed to south apron.

2.20.2 IMC Radio Failure Procedures. The aircraft in radio failure will maintain the last speed and assigned level, it will continue to the assigned NAVAID and it will hold untill it starts the descent.

2.20.2.1 The aircraft will start descent at the expected aproach time, and will follow an instrument aproach procedure as specified for the designed NAVAID.

2.20.2.2 If no expected approach time has been received and acknowledged, the aircraft will start descent at the estimated time of arrival derived from the flight plan.

2.20.2.3 The aircraft will land, if possible, within 30 minutes of ETA or the last received and acknowledged clearance.

2.20.2.4 When Herat APP suspects that two way radio contact has been lost with an aircraft, APP will transmit blind appropiate information, including the actions taken by Herat APP.

2.20.2.5 The transmision be carried out on the frequency which APP presumes the aircraft in radio failure may be monitoring.

2.20.2.6 Meteorological information will be included in the blind transmission and appropiate information, related to the radio failure aircraft, will be issued to other traffic.

2.20.3 All instructions from Herat TWR have to be acknowledged.

2.20.4 Weather minima for VFR flights, within Herat CTR, are 5 Km visibility and 1 500 ft ceiling.

2.20.5 Special VFR: To operate below VFR minima, all aircraft shall obtain a clearance from Herat TWR and make a request for Special VFR flight. SVFR flights may be authorized to:

a. enter Herat CTR for the purpose of landing;

b. takeoff and depart from Herat CTR;

c. cross or operate within Herat CTR.

2.20.6 Herat TWR will allow clearance for one SVFR flight within the Herat CTR at a time. This clearance will be limited to the Herat CTR boundaries when weather is below VFR minima.

Kite flying activity in the vicinity of the airfield 1200ft AGL and below. Heaviest activity downwind leg northeast of airfield and runway 13 approach.

Construction personnel and equipment working on / near the runway, construction sites illuminated with flashing red lights during hours of darkness.

No over flight of the base at any point unless cleared by ATC

Due to severe land constraint, numerous non aviation structures are located within the 700ft LZ exclusion area and some structures/facilities are located on the outer areas of the LZ maintained area. Some fixed obstructions are sited up to 140ft of the runway centerline.

16ft high concrete barrier sited 110ft SW of runway 31 turnaround (overrun) centerline and 360ft behind the threshold (several blinking red obstruction lights are affixed to the top horizontal surface of the barricade). To avoid potential wingtip impact, initiate turnaround immediately upon entering the overrun).

Two non-standard personnel cross-walks located 1 275ft and 2 550ft beyond RWY13 threshold on the runway controlled by ATC via cross-walk lights.

5ft – 7ft high concrete barrier system strung perpendicular to runway 31 extended runway centerline within the APZ, approximately 965ft behind runway 31 displaced threshold.

A tanker truck cool down yard (staging yard) is located within runway 13’s accident potential zone approximately 800ft behind runway 13 threshold.

Numerous trees of undetermined height located within runway 31’s approach-departure clearance surface (ADCS). Unable to determine heights due to trees



are located outside of installation perimeter – subsequently unable to determine ADCS criteria compliance.

Unauthorized vehicle movement/parking area near midfield, approximately 200ft NW of the ATC Tower on the SW side of the runway. Vehicles have been observed penetrating the runway shoulder edge without ATC permission.

Use extreme caution within runway 31’s overrun (turnaround area). A stretch of the base perimeter road is immediately adjacent to the overruns SW edge. This is a high volume traffic road in which not all vehicles will yield to the right of way of aircraft executing turnaround maneuver. Aircraft wings frequently overhang the perimeter road when maneuvering.

Occasional (unmonitored) crane activity within runway 13 approach-departure clearance surface approximately 600 to 700ft behind runway 13 threshold. Normal crane height is 30 to 40ft but can extend higher.

Occasional (unmonitored) crane operations up to 140ft of the runway centerline.

Occasional (unmonitored) crane operations within runway 31’s approach-departure clearance surface. Crane height normally 30-40ft but can extend higher.

Mobile and fixed obstructions up to 160 feet of the runway centerline on either side of runway 13 – beginning at the runway 13 threshold extending 1 500ft.

A 600 foot long fixed obstruction (6 ft high HESCO barrier) is sited SW of the runway. The obstruction is 140ft from the runway centerline – with its beginning point approximately 1 300ft beyond the displaced threshold of runway 31 – extending 600ft northwesterly parallel to the runway. Immediately sited behind the HESCO wall are 16ft high wooden structures.

14 Remarks KABUL International Airport is open H24 for military flights including commercial operators operating on behalf of ISAF or troop contributing nations. For other civilian flights Kabul International Airport is open 2330 UTC – 1830 UTC daily.

2.3.15 KAIA CATO (Combined Air Terminal Operations) military passenger (pax) and cargo handling capability is available 24 hours, 7 days a week with the following restrictions:

2.3.15.1 Mission planners are to ensure road transport for cargo movement, including security requirements for access to KAIA and facilities for passengers (accommodation/messing) are coordinated with the appropriate ISAF KAIA agencies NLT 24 hours before scheduled ACFT arrival / departure. Cargo cannot be stored longer than 48 hours after unload.

2.3.15.2 Handling capability is limited to two heavy (wake turbulence category) every 3 hours and four medium ACFT simultaneously every 2 hours. Mission planners are reminded that maintenance requirements are only available to civilian ACFT from the civilian airlines. Ground handling companies on the civilian side of KAIA are available for daytime operations only due to GIRoA MoTCA regulations.

2.3.15.3 Downloading of Dangerous Good Class 1 (explosives) over 200 kg NEQ up to max 15000 kg NEQ will not be approved during OAKB International Airport operational hours for civilian flights (see OAKB AD 2.3 OPERATIONAL HOURS). There is no limitation for explosives in class/division 1.4. There is no storage available for explosives on KAIA. Before arrival clearance transport is to be in place on KAIA to immediately remove all explosive shipments. Failure to comply will result in the aircraft not being permitted to unload.

2.3.15.4 Dangerous Goods Class 1 (excluding 1.4) above 200kg NEQ up to 15 tons NEQ will be handled on TWY C between1830Z-2330Z outside normal civil airport operating hours.

Failure to do so may result in aircraft, crew and cargo being turned over to Civil Authorities if cargo is found to be not intended for ISAF.

2.3.15.7 KABUL Air Ops is responsible for the allocation of parking slots on the ISAF military aprons. This applies to KABUL-based aircraft that are based or parked on the civil-side or other aprons and need to reposition to the ISAF military aprons to collect pax/cargo for a mission prior to first departure of the day, and to intermediate or final mission legs into the military-side to drop off pax/cargo prior to final parking overnight in Kabul international airport. PPRs for these missions must include an initial KABUL-KABUL leg to allow allocation of a parking slot on the ISAF military aprons prior to first departure, and show intermediate legs into KABUL ISAF military aprons as appropriate. If the final leg back into KABUL prior to final parking overnight in Kabul international airport has no pax/cargo to drop on the military-side, the PPR is to be annotated accordingly.

2.21.1 Engine Running On/Off Load. Military ACFT Engine Running On/Off Load (ERO) is not allowed, unless approved by EAGLE OPS.

2.21.2 Engine Run up Tests. H24, engine run up tests greater than idle require EAGLE OPS approval. Engine run areas will be allocated by EAGLE OPS, ATC/TWR and/or Flight Safety Officer.



OAKB AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES

2.22.1 Aircraft with IFR flight plans will not be allowed to request a VFR departure, unless the IFR Flight Plan is cancelled. VFR flights not authorized for civil fixed wing aircraft, including civil aircraft contracted by ISAF, within Kabul CTR between sunset and sunrise.

2.22.2 Start up Procedure. For IFR flights pilot may request IFR clearance from Clearance Delivery 30 minutes prior to estimated off block time (EOBT). After receiving ATIS information, pilots must request start-up clearance from Clearance Delivery/Ground Control. Start clearance will not be issued earlier than 20 minutes prior to estimated off block time (EOBT). Actual engine start shall be commenced immediately after requesting and acceptance of visual hand signals from the marshaller. ACFT requiring push-back should be ready for taxi within 4 min of EOBT. Pilots must request taxi clearance from Ground Control. Pilots should take into account taxi time to runway holding points and advise TWR of any delays in excess of 10 minutes.

2.22.3 Taxi Procedures. All aircraft shall adhere to ATC taxi and parking instructions. All aircraft should expect Follow-Me guidance for entering apron 8. Taxiing into parking position will be assisted by marshaller. Exception from this rule is only for home based RW aircraft on Apron 8C and 8D. All aircrews should be alert for uncontrolled pedestrian and vehicle traffic at all times. Only after vacating the RWY expeditiously until the entire ACFT is clear of the RWY holding position, pilot shall immediately report “RWY vacated”. On instruction by TWR, contact Ground for further taxi instructions. Due to heavy Helicopter traffic on TWYs B and H, pilots may not enter these TWYs without explicit ATC clearance. Initial taxi clearance is only to holding point of the active RWY. Pilots may not cross the active RWY without specific ATC clearance. The holding positions are named after the relevant TWY. The maximum taxi speed shall not exceed 16KT. This speed shall be decreased if contamination on the surface deteriorates braking action. All aircraft shall display the aircraft lights during taxi. When circumstances preclude that no lights shall be used, the crew shall inform ATC on initial contact. All other taxiing traffic in the path of that mission shall be held apart by ATC until that specific aircraft is airborne.

2.22.4 Minimum RWY Occupancy Time. On receipt of line up clearance, pilots should ensure commensurate with safety and standard operating procedures, that they are able to taxi to the correct position at the hold and line up on the RWY without delay. Whenever possible cockpit checks should be conducted prior to line up and any checks requiring completion while on the RWY should be kept to a minimum. Pilots should ensure that they commence take off roll ASAP after receipt of take off clearance.

2.22.5 Intermediate Holding Positions. Intermediate holding positions are established on TWY BRAVO at GOLF intersection and on TWY HOTEL at NOVEMBER intersection. Medium and Heavy jet engine aircraft cannot taxi beyond these positions unless cleared by TWR.

2.22.4 Helicopter Landing Sites. There are 4 helicopter landing sites (HLS), 2 on Taxiway Bravo (named B1 and B2) and 2 on Taxiway Hotel (named H1 and H2) for take-off, landing and hovering. They are located as follows: Helistrip B1 in front of East side of Apron 5A, Helistrip B2 in front of the Apron 5C entrance, Helistrip H1 to the East of Apron 8A and Helistrip H2 in front of Apron 8D.

2.22.6 Radio Failure Procedures. The ICAO Standard Radio Communication Failure (RCF) procedure is to be followed; SSR code 7600 shall be set.

2.22.6.1 Arriving Aircraft. All traffic, RW and FW, with a radio failure who intend to join the traffic patterns shall do it a 45 degrees angle to the downwind leg. In radio failure situations the traffic SHALL NEVER cross from North to South or vise versa over the airport or the final approach sectors due to possible traffic.

2.22.6.2 Aircraft in flight. Aircraft/ATC should try to establish radio contact via 121.50 MHz or 243.00 MHz. If unable to establish radio contact through this means, ATC (either KAC or KTWR using the “bright”), using radar, will attempt to establish one way communication by instructing the pilot to:



a. Acknowledge by IDENT, or

b. Change Squawk

2.22.6.3 If there is no radar capability, pilots can notify ATC they have a radio failure by:

a. Light Aircraft. Low approach over the RWY at or above 500ft AGL, “rock wings” when passing in front of TWR and look for TWR light gun signal. Then join the TWR (south) traffic pattern. When turning base leg or short final look for light gun signal for full stop landing or go around. Vacate RWY in use after landing at the TWY A/J or G (depending on RWY in use). Do not enter TWY B/H without ATC clearance via radio frequency, light gun signal or Follow-me guidance.

b. Medium/Heavy Aircraft. Low approach over the RWY at or above 500ft AGL, “flash landing lights” and look for TWR light gun signal. Then join the TWR (south) traffic pattern. When turning base leg or short final look for light gun signal for full stop landing or go around. Vacate RWY in use after landing at the TWY A/J or G (depending on RWY in use). Do not enter TWY B/H without ATC clearance via radio frequency, light gun signal or Follow-me guidance.

c. Helicopters. Low approach over the TWY “B”/”H” at or above 500ft AGL, “rock wings” when passing in front of TWR, and look for light gun signal. Then join the TWR (south/north) traffic pattern. When turning base leg or short final TWY B/H look for light gun signal for full stop landing or go around. The landing shall be on TWY “B”/”H” abeam their parking ramp and vacate TWY “B”/”H” fastest and safest as possible.

2.22.6.4 In the probability of the communications failure is due to the mountainous terrain, the controllers shall try to relay information trough other aircraft flying in a coverage area of the aircraft behind mountains or flying too low. Pilots shall use the same vice versus procedure to acknowledge information to the ATC.

2.22.6.5 Departing Aircraft. Departing aircraft shall attempt contact Bagram Approach and continue outbound on previously assigned routing.

2.22.6.6 Aircraft on the Ground:

a. Aircraft taxiing for departure. Stop, hold current position on the taxiway, expect to return to parking position, keep engines running, and wait for Follow-Me vehicle guidance or Light-Gun signal to vacate the area.

b. Aircraft lined-up for departure. Taxi down the runway, vacate at the earliest possible, then stop on the taxiway, and wait for Follow-Me vehicle guidance or Light-Gun signal. Do not enter TWY B/H without ATC clearance via radio frequency, light gun signal or Follow-me guidance.

2.22.7 Weather Minima. VFR Weather Minima within Kabul CTR is 5 000m visibility, 1500 ft ceiling. Below VFR Minima all departing flights are subject to a Special VFR (SVFR) on pilot’s request, else an IFR clearance.

2.22.7.1 SVFR will be approved from SR till SS if the conditions are for: a. FW - 1500m visibility and 1 500ft ceiling.

b. RW home based – 1 200m visibility and clear of clouds

c. RW not home based – 1 500m visibility and clear of clouds

2.22.7.2 SVFR will be approved from SS till SR if the conditions are for:

a. FW – 3 000m visibility and 1 500ft ceiling;

b. RW NVG – 1 500m visibility and clear of clouds

c. RW Nil NVG – 3 000m visibility and clear of clouds



2.22.7.3 It is solely the pilot’s responsibility to request SVFR. During IMC operations, arriving and departing FW aircraft can expect long delays (up to 30 minutes).

2.22.7.4 IFR Takeoff Minima. IFR takeoff minima will be as follows:

a. From SR to SS: visibility 400m (500m. with runway lights inoperative).

b. From SS to SR: visibility 500m

2.22.7.5 Aircraft Operation below IFR Approach Minima. If the weather condition is below IFR approach minima, ATC TWR will report “weather condition below minima, expect holding or proceed to the alternate”. ATC TWR will issue landing clearance only if pilot reports RWY in sight. It is solely pilot responsibility to perform IFR approach below published IFR minima.

2.22.7.6 Aircrews should be prepared to enter holding and divert without prior notice.

2.22.8 ISAF APRON 8 Operations. Unescorted passenger and crew movements are strictly prohibited on apron 8. For transportation/escort contact Eagle Ops 135.850Mhz.

2.22.8.1 Arriving Aircraft. All aircraft must establish radio contact with Eagle Ops (135.850 Mhz) and follow the marshaller car when entering apron 8.It is strictly prohibited to enter apron 8 without marshaller guidance and without radio contact with Eagle Ops. All military and ISAF contracted flights intending to use Apron 8 shall:

a. Have a valid PPR to use ISAF Apron;

b. Establish contact with Eagle OPS on 135.85 MHz at least 5 minutes prior estimated time of landing and report:

1) Arrival Advisory as per ATP3343 (Para405C)

2) Requested ground services, to include number of passengers and specific assistance for cargo off-loading, fuel and Ground Power Units;

3) Transport of Dangerous Cargo (NEQ for Class and Division 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 explosives is mandatory);

4) Information of front cargo door (aircraft nose) to be used for off-loading;

5) Any changes to initial approved PPR

c. Hold at the entry of Apron 8 until the arrival of a Follow Me vehicle. Entrance on Apron 8 requires the assistance of Follow Me unless otherwise directed by Air OPS;

d. Monitor Eagle OPS frequency 135.85 MHz for the duration of their ground operations;

e. Inform Eagle OPS if the aircraft is to be left unattended for any period of time and leave contact information;

2.22.8.2 Departing Aircraft. All military and ISAF contracted flights parked on Apron 8 shall:

a. Monitor Eagle OPS frequency 135.85 MHz until the time they leave Apron 8 by entering taxiway Hotel;

b. Inform Eagle OPS prior starting engines and request ground support for the engine start procedure and ground equipment removal. Crews are not allowed to remove any ground equipment. Removal of wheel chocks is allowed provided the chocks belong to the aircraft;



c. Inform Eagle OPS when ready for taxi and request for marshalling service if needed. It is mandatory for all flight crews of heavy aircraft parked on stands 1 and 2 to use marshaller assistance when leaving apron 8. There is a danger of damaging elevated taxiway lights and tires.

d. Coordinate with Eagle OPS any movement inside Apron 8. Stand re-positioning or taxi reverse requires the presence of Follow Me crews.

2.22.8.3 Eagle OPS frequency is monitored 24 hours daily, 7 days per week. Non-compliance with Afghanistan AIP (previous paragraph) will trigger an Incident Report and lead to denial of Apron 8 use.

2.22.8.4 It is mandatory for all flight crews of wide body aircraft to ask for marshaller assistance when leaving apron 8.

2.22.8.5 Apron 8 parking positions

2.22.9 No manoeuvring with running engines inside aprons 3 and 4A. On aprons 3 and

4A, aircraft can enter the aprons on the centreline and stop, to be towed into parking spot. On Apron 3, prior to start up, aircraft shall be towed to the aprons centreline.

2.22.10 For operations between SS and SR at apron 3, tow follow-me and marshaller guidance is required.

2.22.11 Ingress/Egress procedures for downtown Kabul area helicopter landing zones (HLZ).

2.22.11.1 RW aircraft operating into and out of HLZs in the downtown Kabul area will maintain ground tracks that keep them sufficiently clear of Restricted Operating Zone (ROZ) CAMPA (surrounding the Presidential Palace) in order to prevent the perception that they may be violating the ROZ or otherwise posing a threat to the



security of the Palace compound. RW aircraft inbound to and outbound from downtown KABUL HLZs shall proceed on a direct ground track via the points specified below.

2.22.11.2 Aircraft arriving via all reporting points EXCEPT South (S): proceed on a direct ground track from the initial reporting point (per Reference C) to Point CHARLIE (42SWD1752022947). If inbound for German Embassy (KG 01), ISAF HQ (SOC), or Kabul National Military Hospital (KNMH) HLZ, from Point CHARLIE proceed on a direct ground track to the HLZ. When within 500m of the HLZ, aircraft are clear to maneuver as required for approach and landing (exception: for KG 01, remain within an arc bounded by the 270º radial clockwise (CW) to the 090º radial from the HLZ). If inbound for Ministry of Defense (MoD) HLZ, proceed from Point CHARLIE on a direct ground track to Point BRAVO (42SWD18200 20201). From Point BRAVO, proceed on a direct ground track to MoD HLZ. Note that 270º is the only approved landing direction for MoD due to the proximity of ROZ CAMPA immediately west of the HLZ.

2.22.11.3 Aircraft departing via all reporting points EXCEPT S: if departing KG 01, SOC, or KNMH, after takeoff, remain within 500m of the HLZ until established on a direct ground track to Point CHARLIE (exception: for KG 01, remain within an arc bounded by the 270º radial CW to the 090º radial from the HLZ). If departing MoD (note that 235º is the only approved takeoff heading from MoD), as soon as safely able after takeoff, turn left onto a direct ground track to Point BRAVO, and after reaching Point BRAVO, proceed direct to Point CHARLIE. All aircraft, after reaching Point CHARLIE, proceed as cleared by Kabul Afghanistan International Airport (KAIA) tower.

2.22.11.4 Aircraft arriving via S: proceed on a direct ground track from S to Point BRAVO. If inbound for MoD, SOC, or KNMH, proceed on a direct ground track from Point BRAVO to the HLZ. Once within 500m of either KNMH HLZ or SOC HLZ, aircraft are clear to maneuver as required for approach and landing. Note that 270º is the only approved landing direction for MoD due to the proximity of ROZ CAMPA immediately west of the HLZ. If inbound for KG 01, proceed on a direct ground track from Point BRAVO to Point CHARLIE, and thence in accordance with (IAW) paragraph 2.22.11.1, above.

2.22.11.5 Aircraft departing via S: if departing SOC or KNMH, after takeoff, remain within 500m of the HLZ until established on a direct ground track to Point BRAVO. If departing KG 0, remain within 500m and within an arc bounded by the 270º radial CW to the 090º radial from the HLZ until established on a direct ground track to Point CHARLIE, and after reaching Point CHARLIE, proceed on a direct ground track to Point BRAVO. If departing MoD, proceed IAW paragraph 2.22.11.2, above until reaching Point BRAVO. All aircraft, after reaching Point BRAVO, proceed via a direct ground track to S, and then as cleared.

NOTE : See the map at point 2.23.32 Ingress/Egress tracks map for downtown Kabul area helicopter landing zones (HLZ).

OAKN AD 2.20 LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

2.20.1 Wheeled helicopters will ground taxi to the extent practical to avoid rotor wash and FOD.

2.20.2 Aircraft may not taxi closer than 25 feet from any obstruction without wing-walkers. Aircraft must be shut down and towed with wing walkers if the distance becomes less than 10 ft. It is the pilots/wing-walkers responsibility to determine safe distances are met.

2.20.3 Numerous firing ranges exist in the vicinity of KAF airfield. On initial contact, ATC will advise all aircraft of known range activity and restrictions. Aircraft commanders use caution as Tarnak Farms Multi Purpose Range Complex (OA/R 102) is a partially controlled range (see ENR 5.1.). As such, ATC may not be aware the range is in use. Use of published U.S. procedures/approaches constitutes acceptance of risk from live fire operations at OA/R 102. Do not deviate SW when conducting approaches or departures SW of the airfield.

2.20.4 No intersection departures available for civilian HEAVY aircraft with MTOW > 136,000 Kg. These type aircraft can expect full-length departures for the runway in use.

2.20.5 Use minimum power when taxiing on Foxtrot Taxiway turning onto Echo Taxiway due to close proximity to parked rotary wing aircraft. Aircraft C130 and larger are to use inboard engines only when taxiing on Golf Taxiway. HEAVY/JUMBO aircraft use only inboard engines during taxi and minimum power required during turns. All Jumbo aircraft (An-124, B-747 & C-5) will reduce outboard engines to idle during taxi operations due to potential FOD hazard.

2.20.6 UAV Operations. OAKN has active UAV operations H24. During UAV operations, TWR will:

a. provide traffic information on UAV operations to all arriving and departing aircraft; and

b. issue instructions to ensure that visiting aircraft arrivals and departures are positively separated with UAV operations inside the CTR. This will normally be achieved using vertical or lateral separation or by repositioning of the UAV until it is evident no confliction

2.20.7 IL-76 and larger type aircraft are restricted from making 180 degree turns on the runway until past the 1 000ft Runway Distance Remaining Markers for Runway 05/23.

2.20.8 KILO Ramp restrictions:

a. Helicopters are not allowed to operate on KILO ramp.

b. Engine Running Off-load/On-Load (ERO) is not permitted on KILO Ramp without Prior coordination with Base Operations Centre (BOC)

c. Lima Ramp closed to all taxiing rotary wing aircraft unless approved by TOPAZ.

OAKN AD 2.21 NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

2.21.1 Nil.

OAKN AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES

2.22.1 Protecting Precision Approach Radar (PAR) Touchdown Area

2.22.1.1 When the reported ceiling is less than 200ft or less than 1/2NM visibility, vehicles or aircraft will not be authorized by ATC in the PAR touchdown area when an aircraft conducting an approach or missed approach is 1NM from touch down.



2.22.1.2 The PAR Touchdown Area is a 975m (3 200ft) long by 305m (1 000ft) wide rectangle centred on the runway centreline. It begins 60m (200ft) outward from the landing threshold (normal or displaced) and extends 975m (3 200ft) in the direction of landing.

2.22.2 Radio Fail Procedures

2.22.2.1 In the event of a communications failure, Kandahar airspace shall revert to Class E airspace. Kabul ACC shall assume control of Kandahar’s airspace upon notification. Kandahar Tower will transmit on emergency frequencies (121.5 and 243.0) of the situation and advise inbound aircraft to contact tower and outbound aircraft to contact Kabul ACC. If no contact received: civil aircraft should switch to Afghanistan advisory frequency.

2.22.2.2 Departing aircraft (IFR/VFR). Departing aircraft should continue outbound on previously assigned routing and contact Kabul ACC on appropriate frequency. Due to sporadic radio communications loss with Kandahar ATC on VHF and/or UHF, expect airborne and ground delays at KAF or origination airfield. For airborne aircraft, if no positive two-way radio contact established with Kandahar ATC, contact Kabul ACC or TOPAZ for further instructions. For aircraft on the ground at OAKN, contact TOPAZ for updates and/or instructions. In the event of total radio failure, departing aircraft coordinate with TOPAZ and provide a controlled departure time (CDT). TOPAZ will advise ATC. Aircraft should be at the appropriate Hold Line at the CDT and flash landing light at the Tower. ATC will provide the appropriate light gun signal for departure.

2.22.2.3 Arriving IFR Aircraft. Arriving IFR aircraft should continue inbound to the airport once established on a segment of the approach (if previously cleared)** and contact Kandahar Tower for applicable traffic advisories, landing sequence and clearance. In the event of total radio failure, aircrew should look for a landing light from the Tower.

**Kabul clears IFR arrivals to PAROD, where they should enter holding if unable to establish contact with ATC. If an IFR aircraft was on vectors for a specific approach when they lose radio contact, they should continue to the IAF, execute a procedure turn and proceed inbound on that approach.

2.22.2.4 Arriving VFR Aircraft. Arriving VFR aircraft should contact the Tower with a position report and their intentions to get sequenced to the airport. In the event of total radio failure, aircrew should look for a landing light from the Tower.

2.22.2.5 Prolonged Outages. A NOTAM will be disseminated for prolonged outages and it shall be broadcast on Kandahar ATIS (242.675 or 127.025).

2.22.3 Radar failure Procedures. In the event of radar outage only Kandahar Approach will continue air traffic operations as a non-radar approach control. A NOTAM will be disseminated for prolonged outages and it shall be broadcast on Kandahar ATIS (242.675 or 127.025).

2.22.4 Navigation Lighting. During the hours between sunset and sunrise, all aircraft MUST display navigation or strip lighting as minimum when operating within Kandahar’s Class D airspace.



OAKN AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

2.23.1 Transient and Civilian Aircraft: The Base Operations Centre (BOC) (C/S TOPAZ) is the focal point for all inbound transient military and civilian aircraft.

2.23.1.1 The control tower will direct transient aircraft to the most suitable parking spot as directed by the BOC. Expect Follow Me assistance to parking.

2.23.1.2 Transient Aircraft RON Parking: KILO parking ramp shall be used as the primary transient transport aircraft parking area unless otherwise notified by BOC or Airfield Management. ATC may advise alternate parking locations based on expected traffic. Due to limited ramp space RON request for strategic airlift aircraft shall not be authorized.

2.23.1.3 AN-225/B-747-800 restriction: Kandahar Airfield cannot support AN-225 or B-747-800 aircraft due to limited ramp space, Foreign Object Debris hazards and excessive ACN/PCN ratio.

2.23.2 Bird/Wildlife Control: Local Bird/Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) Program Guidelines: Kandahar Airfield lies in a dry flat desert area with minimal wildlife activity. There are flocks of very small birds that habitat in the local area. During spring and throughout autumn, all users must exercise extra caution for increased bird activity. Aircrews must be vigilant to report any bird activity within the vicinity of the airfield.

2.23.3 Met Balloons: Meteorological balloon ascents conducted twice daily; 1130z & 2330z. All launches are prior-coordinated with ATC.

2.23.4 Use caution for 36ft alternate air traffic control tower located 124m (408ft) south of Runway 05/23 edge between Taxiways Bravo and Charlie.

2.23.5 108ft antenna with obstruction light 1.5NM east of the runway.

2.23.6 Obstructions: Use caution for two 90 ft radar towers located at N31° 29.271’, E065° 49.738’ and N31° 29.226’, E065° 50.991’.

2.23.7 Kandahar Airfield is an international airfield, all aircrew users must be able to both speak and understand English in order to operate safely.

When operating in OAMS Class D airspace, aircrews are responsible for their own terrain clearance at all times and must ensure that see and avoid of other traffic is maintained, irrespective of ATC instructions. Stationed Radar LÜR is only be used for means of situational awareness, not for control instructions of OAMS ATC

Note: Controllers shall inform the pilots about the position of any known conflicting traffic. Pilots are responsible for maintaining separation with any other aircraft, whether or not the controller has passed traffic information. It is accepted that this information may be inaccurate and its issuance is subject to controller’s workload.

2.20.3 Direct landing and take-off for helicopters at the ISAF ramp, main TWY E, F and S are prohibited due to FOD and obstacle clearance. Helicopters have to air-taxi / taxi via TWY guided by Follow-Me car.

a. Discontinue the approach.

b. Hold outside and continue to attempt to contact KABUL ACC; and

c. At pilot’s discretion divert to an alternate airfield.

2.22.4.2 If diverting is not possible due to low fuel status, declare an emergency and apply the following loss of communication procedure:

In VMC follow a to e:

a. Stay VMC;

b. Squawk mode 3A 7600;

c. Continue approaching the airfield for runway in use;

d. Fly over the airfield on runway heading south of the runway at 500ft AGL with gear down, showing landing lights and flashing all other available lights.

e. After overflight, turn to the north for a closed traffic circuit at, or above, 1 000ft AGL.

2.22.4.3 In IMC or Instrument Approach procedure:

a. maintain current speed and level and proceed via current flight plan route or as cleared to the latest initial instrument approach fix

b. enter the published holding and commence descent/procedure as close as possible to the EAT received. If no estimated approach time (EAT) has been given, start descent procedure as close as possible to the EAT resulting from current FPL.

2.22.4.4 All aircraft should avoid overflight of Mazar city and observe the Tower for a light signal. In the absence of visual signals during the approach, having ensured that the runway is clear, pilots may decide to land, at their own discretion, but must be prepared to initiate “go around” due to conflicting traffic or a blocked runway. If in receipt of a clearance, aircraft shall proceed in accordance with that clearance in the absence of red light and/or flares.

2.22.4.5 After landing, the aircraft shall vacate the runway, on first suitable twy ( twy “S” only for C130/C160 or smaller),then stop and wait for Follow-Me.

2.22.7 Acknowledgement by an aircraft 2.22.7.1 When in flight:

a. During the hours of daylight: by rocking the aircraft’s wings;

Note. – This signal should not be expected on the base and final legs of the approach.

b. During the hours of darkness: by flashing on and off twice the aircraft’s landing lights or, if not so equipped, by switching on and off twice its navigation lights.



2.22.7.2 When on the ground:

a. During the hours of daylight: by moving the aircraft’s ailerons or rudder;

b. During the hours of darkness: by flashing on and off twice the aircraft’s landing lights or, if not so equipped, by switching on and off twice its navigation lights.

2.20.1 Fixed wing aircraft inbound attempt to contact ATCT on VHF 120.1 prior to 30NM for airport advisories / traffic advisories. Rotary wing aircraft contact ATCT on VHF 120.1 prior to entering 10nm for airport advisories / traffic advisories.

2.20.2 ALL aircraft must establish two-way radio communications prior to entering Sharana Class “D” surface area. – Class “D” airspace extending upward from the surface to and including 2 500ft AGL (9 918ft AMSL) within a 5NM radius of Sharana AAF.

2.20.3 Standard traffic patterns: RWY 14 / LEFT traffic RWY 32 / RIGHT traffic. Rotary wing traffic pattern altitude is 500ft AGL. Fixed wing traffic pattern is 1 000ft AGL. Overhead maneuver is 1 500ft AGL.

2.20.4 No overfight of movement areas to the South of the RWY32 threshold. All aircraft when departing to the west must circle around to the east to avoid these movement areas. This procedure is to deconflict departing aircraft with transitioning aircraft between these movement areas.

2.20.5 Cargo aircraft must park with nose to the runway. Forklift operators will not load/unload aircraft with the tail to the runway. There is not enough maneuvering space between the rear of the aircraft and the runway hold-short line for forklift operations.

2.20.6 Pilots should park aircraft IAW air traffic control instructions to maximize space availability to accommodate other aircraft. If the apron is empty upon arrival, pilot will taxi to park on the SE end of the apron. The NW end is designated STOL parking.

2.20.7 When parking on the fixed-wing apron, pilots must ensure the aircraft is entirely behind the runway hold-short line. When on the runway, the most demanding aircraft wingtip is only 75 feet from the aprons runway hold-short line.

OATN AD 2.20 LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

2.20.1 UAV Operations. TK aerodrome has a high volume of UAV operations H24. UAV traffic pattern is 1 000ft AGL or 5 500ft AMSL. UAV’s will coordinate for launch/recovery with TK Tower. Once UAV’s begin approach all other aircraft will be directed to hold due to the position of the launch/recovery equipment and the approach path of the UAV’s.

2.20.2 TK Tower Shall. Provide traffic information on UAV operations to all arriving and departing aircraft; and issue control instructions to ensure that visiting aircraft arrivals and departures are positively separated from UAV operations inside the aerodrome. Outside the aerodrome aircraft will be given known traffic and will advise tower if deviation from flight path is required. Separation will be achieved using a combination of vertical or lateral separation or by repositioning of the UAV until it is evident that no conflict exists.

2.20.3 UAV Strip. There is a concrete UAV launch/recovery strip that parallels the active runway on the northeast side of the runway. This strip is for UAV operations only. It may be lit at night during active launch/recovery; however aircraft need to be aware that this is not the active runway. The runway is lighted with either white or IR lighting only.

2.20.4 UAVs. All UAV platforms will have overt lighting on when operating within 5NM of OATN. The only exception is for tactical operations when approved by TK tower.

2.20.5 UAVs. All UAV will report to TK tower 30 minutes prior to launch. All UAV will report when climbing through 5 500ft AMSL after launch. All UAV will report when descending through 5 500ft AMSL during recovery/landing.



OATN AD 2.21 NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES / NO FLY AREAS

2.21.1 No Fly Areas. There are several no fly areas in and around Tarin Kot; avoid over flight of the built up areas on the north and south side of the runway below 1 000ft AGL / 5 500ft AMSL. Do not over fly the village of TK at low level. Helicopter traffic shall not over fly any buildings, personnel, equipment or aircraft parked in the aprons. Helicopters should remain out of ground effect while moving around the airfield.

2.21.2 Noise Abatement. West southwest of the town of Tarin Kot there have been several incidents of local populace firing at aircraft during the hours of darkness if aircraft are flying too low.

2.21.3 No Fly Areas. Helicopters shall avoid over flight of the UAV runway located on the north side of the main runway 12/30 at all times. Helicopters shall avoid over flight of the Scaneagle UAV launch and recovery site located on top of the hill 0.2NM south east of threshold RWY 30 at all times.

OATN AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES

2.22.1 Start clearances. Start clearances are required from TK tower for all fixed wing aircraft and helicopters at OATN.

2.22.2 Taxi Procedures. Aircraft shall contact TK Tower prior to taxi or repositioning for instructions. Helicopters requiring air taxi will remain at an altitude that avoids ground effect (i.e. blowing dust, loose debris, etc.). The primary holding area for the FARP is Whiskey Ramp. Clearance into and FARP points will be given by the tower. Fixed wing will follow instructions given by tower. Charlie ramp taxi pattern will normally be clockwise, entry via taxiway Foxtrot, exit via taxiway Delta, unless otherwise authorized by TK tower.

2.22.3 Helicopter Operations. Entry into the TK aerodrome shall be at 5 000ft AMSL and/or 500ft AGL or below. Contact TK Tower at 10 NM for airfield conditions and sequencing into the CTR, then contact tower again at 5NM, prior to entering the Class D airspace. Advise TK tower of Call sign, entry sector / or cardinal direction from the field, distance and intentions. Report to tower prior to crossing the extended runway centerline and / or when established on final. All helicopters are required to make approaches out of ground effect and over the active runway. Early cross-wind turns and midfield re-joins are not authorized unless instructed by TK tower to do so.

2.22.4 Helicopter night operations. Helicopters are required to have visible anti-collision lights on when operating in the circuit area. Pilots may coordinate with TK tower to operate with covert (IR) lighting only. Helicopters operating on ramp areas by night shall have overt anti-collision lights on.

2.22.4 Fixed Wing Operations. Contact TK Tower at 30NM with pertinent information, 10 NM, and again once established on a base leg. Entry into the pattern will be at or above 6000ft AMSL. Expect a landing Clearance on Base Leg.

2.22.5 Departure Procedures. Avoid over flight of populated areas at low level. Do not over fly base camp below 6 000ft AMSL unless directed to by tower. In order to decrease FOD on taxiways and runways, present position departures may be approved by tower for rotary-wing aircraft when requested. Notify TK Tower once two-way has been established or 15NM outbound for frequency change. Helicopter traffic departing RWY 12 should turn crosswind between the FARP and the hill at the departure end of RWY 12 in order to avoid crossing into the heavy weapons range. Helicopter traffic departing RWY 30 may proceed on course as directed by TK tower (avoid Tarin Kot township). Helicopter traffic shall remain below 500ft AGL



until 5NM; helicopters requiring higher altitudes must request altitude through TK tower.

2.22.6 Helicopter parking. Home-based US helicopter parking is located on Charlie ramp (southern side of the runway). Incidental long term helicopter parking can be arranged by TK tower at either Whiskey ramp or Bravo parking (southern fixed wing apron). Transient crews must coordinate for their own ground transport or assistance from local military authorities. Helicopters requiring overnight parking are required to submit a PPR. On Whiskey ramp, helicopters which load from the rear need to park with the nose of the aircraft facing the runway. All other helicopters park with their tail to the runway.

2.22.7 Fixed wing arrivals. Contact TK tower at 30NM with call sign, position and intentions. Expect to be given current weather and aerodrome update, traffic information and landing runway in use. Contact TK tower again at 10NM, expect traffic update and instructions for circuit entry. Enter the circuit at or above 6 000ft AMSL, expect a landing clearance and wheels check on base leg, or once established on final approach. In the event of a go-around on approach to RWY 12; due to the nature of ROZ's and heavy weapons range; all aircraft will track 118⁰ for 16 miles to clear the range and then resume own navigation reentering TK airspace at 10 miles from the south southwest; unless otherwise instructed by TK tower.

2.22.8 Fixed wing aircraft should expect to land RWY 12 due to the location of the heavy weapons range and small hill at the eastern end of the runway. Arrivals to RWY 30 are only possible in emergency situations if aircraft ‘require’ to land RWY 30 for operational reasons. TK tower will require at least 10 minutes notice in order to gain a ‘check fire’ from the heavy weapons range.

2.22.9 Fixed wing departures. Fixed wing aircraft departing TK will establish course as directed by TK tower. If able, aircraft should expedite climb through 5500ft AMSL.

2.22.10 Fixed wing aircraft should expect to depart RWY 30 due to the location of the heavy weapons range and small hill at the eastern end of the runway.

2.22.11 Fixed wing night operations. Night time operations are limited to military aircraft only.

2.22.12 Fixed wing parking. All fixed wing aircraft will park in accordance with tower’s instructions.

2.22.13 Holding procedures. A number of situations at OATN may warrant the requirement for aircraft/helicopters being instructed to hold outside of the OATN aerodrome by TK tower. If helicopters/aircraft are instructed to hold out by TK tower, ATC shall state the sector to hold in for helicopters; or the distance (in NM) and cardinal direction from OATN for fixed wing aircraft. TK tower may state the direction of the holding pattern or orbit to be flown. In all cases it is the pilot in command who is responsible for the actual position of the orbit/holding pattern, and maintenance of terrain clearance.

2.22.14 Circuit Procedures. TK Tower will determine the number of aircraft that can safely operate in the VFR Traffic Pattern.

2.22.15 Circuit Altitude: Rotary Wing – 5 000ft AMSL / 500ft AGL

UAV – 5 500ft AMSL / 1 000ft AGL

Fixed Wing – 6 000ft AMSL / 1 500ft AGL

WARNING: Use extreme caution for personnel, vehicles and equipment near and around all landing and departure surfaces. Runway construction project in effect and daily changes to the runway clear zone can be expected.



OATN AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND HAZARDS

2.23.1 Heavy weapons range. The Tarin Kot combined weapons range OA/R 203, impact area and aerial gunnery range is located 0.5NM south east of the airfield (approximate extended centerline of RWY 12). The range should be considered HOT 24 hours per day. During daylight hours TK tower is able to order a check-fire on the range with 10 minutes notice.

2.23.2 Weather. When the reported weather is less than basic VFR minimums, aircraft may request Special VFR clearance into or out of the TK Class D surface airspace; aircraft type permitting. When prevailing visibility is less than 1 SM and vertical visibility is less than 900ft aircraft will be denied entry into the TK Class D airspace.

2.23.3 Transitioning Aircraft. Aircraft transitioning within 10NM of TK should establish two-way radio contact with TK tower for all pertinent traffic calls and local area advisories.

2.23.4 Helicopter Lost Communication Procedure. When helicopter aircrew determines that they are in a lost communications scenario, the aircrew will attempt to contact TK Tower though secondary frequency and/or other aircraft with the local area. If communications link is not made, helicopter traffic will remain at or below rotary wing traffic pattern and hold 1 NM south of the runway and await a steady green light signal from TK Tower. Once light is observed, make an approach via runway 12 and park aircraft in Whiskey Ramp.

2.23.5 Fixed wing lost communication procedure. Fixed wing aircraft suffering a loss of two-way communications should attempt to make contact with TK tower via secondary frequency and/or other aircraft in the area. If communications cannot be reestablished, fixed wing aircraft should return to their departure/diversion aerodrome. Fixed wing aircraft shall not enter the OATN circuit area without first establishing two way communications.

2.23.6 Night Operations. Due to the close proximity of the work areas in relation to the runway aircraft need to be aware of vehicles with overt lights transiting around the perimeter of the airfield during the hours of darkness. This causes difficulty for landing/departing aircraft using aided flight.

2.23.7 Helicopter Night Operations. Helicopters need to have overt lighting on while operation within 1/2NM of the airfield at night.

2.23.8 Runway Lateral Clearance Zones. Lateral Clearance zones at Tarin Kot are 50 meters left/right of the RWY centerline. Beyond 50m contains many temporary and uncontrollable obstacles. There is a high vehicle traffic volume at the THR 12 along with permanent HESCO Baskets. Approaches to runway 30 are not permitted unless requested by ATC, and ATC can verify the status of the heavy weapons range. C-17 equivalent or larger aircraft are not under any circumstance allowed to land RWY 30.

2.23.9 Airfield construction works. OATN is currently undergoing major runway construction works, these works will continue until May 2011. Check NOTAMs daily to ensure that correct declared distances and the location of any unpublished hazards are known. Expect construction vehicles, men and equipment to be operating in close proximity to the runway in use at all times during this period.

2.23.10 Attack/armed helicopter parking. Armed aircraft will park on Alpha (A) row on Charlie Ramp. There are 16 pads available. A1 is NOT used for parking due to its close proximity to TK FARP. Pads A2 and A3 are available to transient aircraft, and will also be used for upload/download. Pads A4-A17 will be used by the resident US Aviation Task Force for permanent parking. Attack /Armed Reconnaissance aircraft will exit the runway at Foxtrot (F) Taxiway, proceed to Alpha Taxiway and then to their assigned parking location. When departing,



Attack/Armed Reconnaissance aircraft will taxi west on Alpha (A) Taxiway to Delta (D) Taxiway and then to the runway as required.

2.23.11 FARP procedures. Tarin Kot FARP is located on the South Eastern portion of the airfield. There are four (4) refueling positions, numbered 1-4 from East to West. Pads 1 and 2 are primarily used by Attack/Armed aircraft. Pads 3-4 are primarily used by Utility/Cargo aircraft. All pads are Closed Circuit and Single Point refueling capable. There will be NO Open Port/Gravity refueling in the FARP. Pads 1 and 2 are the only authorized FARP points for refuel and rearm operations. Aircraft requiring refueling should advise TK Tower upon initial contact at 10 miles. Aircraft will contact TK FARP on frequency 62.10(CT) upon landing. The FARP is a positive control area, contact TK tower prior to movement. Aircraft are not to refuel with passengers on board.

2.23.12 FARP departures. There are three (3) authorized methods for departing TK FARP: (1) Aircraft may taxi from the FARP via Alpha and Foxtrot Taxiways to the runway or Foxtrot Helipad (preferred method if traffic allows); (2) Aircraft will depart directly to the South, power permitting; or (3) Aircraft will hover taxi from their respective FARP Point over the gravel located immediately south of the FARP, then execute a departure to the West (300°), avoiding over flight of the built up area West of Charlie Ramp.

2.23.13 FARP aircraft orientation. Aircraft with refueling ports on the right side shall orient 120° or offset to the left side of the pad and orient 210°. Attack/Armed Reconnaissance aircraft requiring armament will utilize Point 1 or 2 and orient 120°. Aircraft with refueling ports on the left side shall orient 300° or offset to the right side of the pad and orient 210°.

2.23.14 Helicopter hung ordnance or unsafe gun. If an Attack or Aero-scout helicopter has hung ordnance or an unsafe gun, aircrew shall notify TK tower on initial contact. US Attack or Aero-scout aircraft will proceed to their parking area and park on the designated HOT pads. Wait for maintenance and EOD assistance to arrive. Armed aircraft requiring jettisoning of live ammunition due to emergencies shall do so over the Tarin Kot combined weapons range after coordination with TK tower and the Base Defense Operations Centre (BDOC).

2.23.15 Scaneagle Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The Scaneagle UAV system is a catapult launched, skyhook trap recovery vehicle. Scaneagle UAV has a high tempo, 24/7 rate of effort at TK. Both fixed wing and helicopter arrivals and departures may experience delays during the launch and recovery phases of Scaneagle UAV flight. A small hill with the Scaneagle UAV launch and recovery site on top, creates an obstacle in the overshoot to RWY 12 (undershoot RWY 30). The hill elevation is 4561 feet AMSL, which is 84 feet above the elevation of threshold RWY 30 (4477ft). When fully lowered the elevation Scaneagle launch and recovery system 4581 feet AMSL, which is 104 feet above the elevation of threshold RWY 30. The maximum elevation of the Scaneagle launch and recovery system when fully extended is 4611 feet AMSL which is 134 feet above the elevation of threshold RWY 30. The obstacle is located bearing 151 degrees magnetic from the threshold of RWY 30 at 200m (656ft). The recovery system presents a potential hazard on departure or low-overshoot to RWY 12, or approach to RWY 30. Over flight of the UAV recovery site below 200ft AGL is prohibited.

2.23.16 Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP). Several IAPs have been developed for emergency use at OATN. Currently these procedures have only been flight checked in VMC by locally based flying units. It is expected that IAPs will be flight checked, authorized and published by EOY 2011.



2.23.17 MEDIVAC Helicopter Landing Site (HLS) procedures. The MEDIVAC HLS is located at the taxiway ‘T’ junction adjacent to the Redskins flightline and the Role 2 hospital. Only MEDIVAC aircraft are permitted to utilize the MEDIVAC HLS. MEDIVAC helicopters should vacate the HLS as soon as practical after passenger pick-up or set-down. If the Role 2 hospital is given sufficient prior notice of an inbound MEDIVAC helicopter the HLS will be lit by four red lights. All MEDIVAC helicopters will call Tarin Kot tower if a patient on board has a change in medical status. This communication is necessary to coordinate with receiving medical unit so they can be better prepared with medical equipment and personnel to receive and care for the patient.

2.23.18 Helicopter aerial test firing. Helicopters requiring aerial test firing or weapon harmonization shall coordinate with the BDOC call sign ‘Range Control’ on frequency 55.250Mhz. If unable to contact BDOC, coordination shall be completed through TK tower. Prior to firing aircrew shall conduct a thorough visual reconnaissance of the impact area to ensure that it is free of personnel, livestock, or cultural facilities. Aircraft shall monitor BDOC and TK tower frequencies at all times whilst operating on the weapons range.

2.23.19 QRF and MEDIVAC operations. All helicopters involved in QRF or MEDIVAC operations within the lateral confines of the OATN aerodrome will have priority over all other air traffic. TK tower will hold all other aircraft as necessary to clear the airspace. QRF/MEDIVAC crews should contact TK tower as soon as practical after their aircraft is powered to advise TK tower of the impending launch. QRF and MEDIVAC helicopters are a priority aircraft.

2.23.20 Helicopter maintenance test flight area. Traffic dependant, the circuit area is available for use for maintenance test flights. Alternatively, locally based helicopters may use the maintenance test flight area which is bounded by the following coordinates:

N32 34.42 E 065 50.08 N32 32.08 E 065 51.67

N32 28.02 E 065 43.39 N32 30.35 E 065 41.79

2.23.21 Sling load and cargo operations. The sling load and cargo area for helicopters is located at Whiskey ramp. All arriving and departing helicopters with sling loads shall advise TK tower on first contact that they have a slung load.

2.23.22 Combat operations within the OATN AERODROME. During combat operations (or incoming IDF) within the lateral confines of the OATN aerodrome, TK tower will inform inbound and outbound aircraft. TK tower may require that aircraft hold on the ground, enter a holding pattern outside the areodrome, or be routed around the area affected by the combat operations. TK tower will advise all aircraft of any ROZ’s that are established in support of combat operations.

The PAR is on standby 24/7, and will be activated during forecasted instrument conditions. Contact Wolverine Tower on 119.025 prior to contacting Wolverine GCA on 132.075. When PAR is INOP, an annotation will be placed in NOTAMS.

OAMY AD 3.20 LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

3.20.1 Light Requirements. 3.20.1.1 All aircraft with rotors turning in parking area will at a minimum have position lights

on steady dim. Use of the IR search light or landing light to assist in visibility is authorized.

3.20.1.2 All aircraft moving within FOB Wolverine either in flight or ground taxiing will at a minimum have positions lights on steady dim. Use of the IR search light or landing light to assist in visibility is authorized. Aircraft conducting ground operations will have visible searchlight activated and position lights to dim during the hours of sunset to sunrise due to personnel transitioning across taxiways and cargo pad.

3.20.1.3 Aircraft receiving fuel at FOB Wolverine will have their position lights on steady dim in the FARP and all other lights will be off. Aircrews of attack and scout aircraft will signal to the refuelers with a light that they are ready for fueling to begin.

3.20.2 Special VFR 3.20.2.1 Special VFR (SVFR) is available at Mollayan Army Airfield on a case by case basis.

SVFR minimums will be IAW AR 95-1, pg. 37, para. 5-5 (8), or ½ SM (800 meters) and clear of clouds. Aircraft will make request for special VFR entry or exit of Wolverine Class D airspace directly with Wolverine Tower. Upon initial contact if requesting SVFR entry, aircraft will state number of aircraft in flight with fuel on board in hours and minutes, flight level, and entry sector. Entry or exit will be limited to one aircraft or one flight at a time. All other aircraft will remain on ground until cleared for departure or hold outside of the class D airspace until cleared for entry. Pilots are expected to exercise good judgment as there in no approach control available at Mollyan Army Airfield. Pilots should consider whether the emergency PAR recovery is operational before requesting any SVFR clearance.

OAMY AD 3.21 NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

3.21.1 Avoid overflight of nearby villages/built up areas by 1.5KM or 1500ft AGL.

OAMY AD 3.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES

3.22.1 Arrival Procedures

3.22.1.1 Contact Wolverine tower at least 10NM from the airfield on VHF 119.025. Tower will advise of any other traffic, range and artillery status within Wolverine AOR. Inform Wolverine tower of call sign, entry sector, distance from the airfield, intentions and must specify if rearm is required.



3.22.2 Common Procedures

3.22.2.1 If an aircraft is instructed to hold, ATC will give direction on the sector or direction (i.e., N, NE, E, SE, etc.) to hold. Pilot will determine suitable reference to hold/orbit based on visual reference to the ground. The only authorized vertical landing areas are the Flight Landing Strip (FLS), Cargo Pad, MEDEVAC Pad, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie Pads, and operations into FOB Grizzly HLZ. All aircraft landing to the VTOL pads should make approaches to the ground, followed by ground taxi clear of the pad. Hover taxi is not authorized for wheeled aircraft over any taxiway. Skidded aircraft (i.e. OH-58, UH-1H) may hover taxi to any location on the airfield utilizing any taxiway. Do not overfly the FOB/LSAs.

3.22.2.2 Landing at Wolverine Cargo Pad. This pad is the primary landing site for cargo aircraft and passenger operations. Remain east of the FOB before turning on final for Cargo Pad heading 220 degrees or an approach from the south between ASP and Fuel Storage area heading 310 degrees. Regardless of approach direction all aircraft must execute a pedal turn so that the aircraft is facing heading 220 degrees. At no time will aircraft make an approach from the west to the Cargo Pad. Go-around direction is to the South or East depending on approach path. At no time will aircraft overfly the FOB.

3.22.2.3 Landing at VTOL Pad A, B, and C. At no time will aircraft over fly the Fuel Storage area, or any portion the FOB/LSAs. Overflight of the ASP is authorized for training flights only; and only when conducting roll-on landings to the Delta Taxiway. When approaching FOB Wolverine from the NE, N, or SE proceed south of ASP on a heading between 265 and 245 degrees down the FLS to land Alpha, Bravo, or Charlie Pads. When approaching from NW, W, and SW proceed south of the ASP on a 040 degree heading, down the FLS and at Alpha, Bravo or Charlie pads.

a. Alpha Pad. This pad is primarily pad utilized for landing at the FARP. An approach from the east must be adjusted as necessary not to overfly the ASP or the Fuel Storage area. An approach from the west is generally down the FLS avoiding overflight of other operating aircraft.

b Bravo and Charlie Pads. These pads are primarily utilized for transiting into parking. The approach can be made from any direction provided the path does not overfly the FOB or parked/operating aircraft; the normal path is along the long axis of the FLS.

3.22.2.4 Landing to gravel FLS. There are no restrictions on operations. Dust in and around the FLS is a consideration. Roll on landings to Delta taxiway for training are authorized. Aircraft must be at or above ETL prior to touchdown. Landing direction is restricted to 220 heading.

3.22.3 Refuel Procedures

3.22.3.1 FOB Wolverine has contract hot refuel available for 24 hrs. Hot refuel is limited to aircraft able to accept pressure refuel from either CCR or D1 nozzle housings. Gravity refuel is available via cold refuel and requires coordination with Wings TOC at DSN 318-673-4404 / SVOIP 308-673-4414 / CENTRIX 264-9414. Refuel is contract; crewmember hookup is prohibited.

3.22.3.2 FARP Arrival Procedures. a. Proceeding directly to the FARP: FARP will be accessed using Alpha

VTOL Pad. Land to the “H” and ground taxi via Alpha taxiway to Foxtrot taxiway, then to the FARP point specified by tower. Non-military aircraft (ICAT, Evergreen, Presidential, etc.,) will use FARP points 3 and/or 4 in order to allow aircraft to shutdown for cold refuel, and allow FARP points 1 and 2 for rearm/refuel for AH-64Ds and OH-58Ds.



b. Proceeding to the FARP from the cargo/passenger pad: Contact tower with position and state your intentions to proceed to the FARP (specify if rearming is required). Depart the Cargo Pad on either a 130 degree or 040 degree heading and circle the airfield to land to Alpha VTOL Pad. Do not over fly buildings or equipment and avoid over flight of the ASP on the SE corner of the FOB, Fuel Storage area and the Fuel servicing tent. Land to the “H” and ground taxi via Alpha Taxiway to Foxtrot Taxiway, then to the FARP point specified by tower.

3.22.3.3 FARP Marshalling Area. The passenger marshalling area is against the cement jersey barriers located directly adjacent to the refueling pads. Pilots and one non-rated crew member will remain in the aircraft. All remaining crewmembers and passengers will proceed to the marshalling area during refuel operations.

3.22.3.4 FARP Departure Procedures. FARP Pads 1 and 2 are fly-through FARP points. If aircraft power permits, aircraft can take off over the HESCO barriers. Aircraft are authorized a straight out departure to the South or with a turn down the FLS. If refueling at FARP Pads 3 and 4, or aircraft power does not permit, aircraft are required to back taxi out of FARP pads along F Taxiway to Alpha Taxiway to Alpha VTOL Pad for departure.

3.22.4 Departure Procedures 3.22.4.1 Departing Wolverine Cargo Pad. There are three departure directions from the

Cargo Pad. Contact Wolverine Tower at on VHF 119.025; inform tower of your call sign, number/type of aircraft in flight and intentions. Tower will advise of any other traffic, range and artillery status within the Wolverine AOR.

a. Departures on heading 040 or 130 degrees. These departures require an altitude over airspeed take-off in order to avoid dust hazards.

b. Departure over Foxtrot Taxiway. This departure is authorized with tower approval for aircraft without a sling load. Aircraft will be at 50 feet AHO prior to Foxtrot taxiway between the FARP and LAMS-A with a left turn to the south or a straight out departure over the FLS. Primary consideration is aircraft safety and this procedure will not be approved with aircraft in refuel, on Alpha Taxiway, or Alpha VTOL Pad. This procedure cannot be utilized to go into the FARP.

3.22.4.2 Departing VTOL Pads A, B and C. VTOL Pads are restricted to single aircraft departures. There are two departure directions from the VTOL Pads. Straight out departures on headings of 040-degrees or 220-degrees are authorized. Contact Wolverine Tower at on VHF 119.025; inform tower of your call sign, type of aircraft and intentions. Tower will advise of any other traffic, range and artillery status within the Wolverine AOR.

3.22.4.3 Departing from the FLS. The FLS is normally utilized for multi-ship operations, SWT/AWT or power limited aircraft. There are two departure directions from the VTOL Pads. Straight out departures on headings of 040-degrees or 220-degrees are authorized. Contact Wolverine Tower at on VHF 119.025; inform tower of your call sign, number/type of aircraft in the flight and intentions. Tower will advise of any other traffic, range and artillery status within the Wolverine AOR.

3.22.4.4 Rolling Takeoff/Landing from the Delta Taxiway. Rolling Takeoffs/Landings from the Delta Taxiway are authorized. Rolling Takeoffs/Landings are restricted to single aircraft arrivals/departures. The only authorized takeoff direction is 220-degrees. For takeoff, aircraft must be wheels up and above ETL prior to reflective markings. 990 feet is given from Alpha/Delta Taxiway intersection to the reflective markers. Contact Wolverine Tower at on VHF 119.025; inform tower of your call sign, type of



aircraft and intentions. Tower will advise of any other traffic, range and artillery status within the Wolverine AOR.

3.22.5 Circuit Direction

3.22.5.1 All circuit direction (traffic patterns) will be south of the field either left or right traffic not less than 200 feet AGL. Avoid overflight of FOB Grizzly small arms range (021 DEG MAG, 1.3 KM from TWR), FOB Wolverine Small Arms Range (321 DEG MAG, 1.84 KM from TWR), and ASP approximately 500 meters from Alpha VTOL pad, which is at the approach end of RWY 22 (over flight of ASP is authorized for training flights only; and only when conducting roll-on landings to the Delta Taxiway). In the event that Wolverine Tower is closed or tower operations are down (i.e. unable to make positive communications on VHF), aircraft will use 119.025 as a CTAF and will make position reports approximately 5 NM from airfield.

OAMY AD 3.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

3.23.1 Airfield is not rated for fixed wing operations, only rotary wing aircraft. PPR is required for aircraft with larger rotor diameters than CH-47 (19 meters); V-22 aircraft will require PPR; CTC Wings TOC.
