and upon landing 138.125, 261.0.
2. CAUTION - BIRD AIRCRAFT STRIKE HAZARD (BASH)
INFORMATION - Phase I April-September, bird activity is
generally light during this period. Phase II October-March.
Migratory waterfowl in the vicinity of airport during
morning/evening and particularly winter months. ANG Base
Operations issues Bird Watch Condition Codes
(LOW/MODERATE/SEVERE) for 177FW aircraft based
observations, reports from aircrews and from USDA Wildlife
Services.
a. LOW - Normal bird activity.
b. MODERATE - Concentrations of 5 to 15 large birds or 15
to 30 small birds on or above airfield.
c. SEVERE - Concentrations of more than 15 large or 30
small birds.

Barksdale AFB (KBAD), LA
1. CAUTION -
a. BIRD AIRCRAFT STRIKE HAZARD (BASH)
INFORMATION - Barksdale AFB (KBAD) is affected by two
migratory waterfowl flyways. The Red River, which serves as a
natural guide for migratory waterfowl that use the Central and
Mississippi flyways, is located 2 NM W of the airfield and intersects
the takeoff and landing corridors. Aircrews should expect
increased bird activity for Barksdale AFB (KBAD) between May and
November. The Phase II period for peak bird activity is October
and November. Migratory waterfowl seek refuge within several
areas located approximately 2 NM E of the runway. Several base
lakes and wetlands are located within the geographical confines
off the radar and visual traffic pattern located E of the field. In
addition, migratory European starlings and brown headed
cowbirds flock the airport in mass between September and
November enroute to their winter homes. Aircrews should plan
transitions so as to avoid sunrise and sunset periods during the
Phase II period.
(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 05-265)
b. Uncontrolled vehicles on taxiways and ramps.
c. Pilots are advised to use caution while landing on the
runway when pavement is saturated by rainfall. Pilots should
expect reduced braking performance in areas when water is
ponded and the surface appears glassy smooth. The greatest
potential for reduced braking performance and ice accumulation
exists in the last 1750’ of Rwy 15.
d. Non-ACC aircraft may be subjected to less than required
Quantity-Distance to separation suitability.
2. NO FLY/AVOIDANCE AREAS -
a. Do not overfly ordnance storage area below 2500’ MSL.
Ordnance area parallels E side of runway extending for 1 NM.
b. Avoid overflying Louisiana Downs Horse Track located 4
NM due E of the approach end of Rwy 15.
c. CAUTION - Small arms practice range located .5 NM NE
airfield infield in continuous operation.
(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 06-798)
3. PPR PROCEDURES - A PPR is required and given 7 days in
advance of arrival. PPRs are good for 15 minutes plus or minus
the PPR time. PPRs will be canceled after 15 minutes.
Coordination for late arrivals must be coordinated by telephone
at least 2 hours prior to original PPR time.
4. APPROACHES - Training for transient aircrews will not be
permitted to interfere with local operations. During heavy traffic
periods ATC may direct transient aircraft to make one approach
to a full stop (1500-0400Z++). Circling approaches for AETC
aircraft not authorized.
5. TRANSIENT SERVICES - Transient services are not available
0245-1300Z++ weekdays, 2345-1400Z++ Saturday and Sunday,
and any time on holidays. Expect servicing delays of 2 hours or
more during base wide exercise and peak traffic periods. No
drag chutes available, repack service only available during normal
duty hours.
6. HAZARDOUS/DANGEROUS CARGO - Aircraft inbound to
unload or load dangerous cargo or transiting with dangerous
cargo must contact Pilot to Dispatcher 15-30 minutes prior to
arrival with DOT Classification and Net Explosive Weight.
7. BAK-12 for AIR WARRIOR aircraft use only. Barrier is rigged
only during Air Warrior exercises. Non-Air Warrior aircraft should
consider the BAK-12 as unserviceable at all times.

Beale AFB (KBAB), CA
1. CAUTION - Extensive T-38 and U-2/TR-1 student training
including student flight operations surface to 3100’ Monday-
Saturday. Avoid overflight of Pave Paws radar site located R-072,
4.2 NM BAB TACAN. For noise abatement, aircraft extending in
the VFR pattern should maintain pattern altitude until within 5
NM of the airfield. Avoid overflight of main housing area and
trailer park 3 NM SE of Rwy 15 threshold. Uncontrolled vehicles
on ramps and taxiways. Extensive crop duster activity surface to
400’ AGL vicinity of Beale (KBAB). Helicopter activity night and
day surface to 600’ AGL NE of Beale (KBAB).
2. All aircraft contact Wing Command Post to ensure Runway
Supervisory Officer (RSO) is in position prior to accomplishing
take-offs and touch and go landing.
3. CAUTION-BIRD AIRCRAFT STRIKE HAZARD (BASH)
INFORMATION-Beale AFB (KBAB) is situated on a major
migratory bird flyway. The Phase II period of increased bird
activity begins on 1 October and lasts until 15 April. Large
numbers of ducks, geese and swans fly on and around the airfield
during this time. In addition, extensive farming and excavation
surrounding the base attracts large numbers of eagles, hawks,
gulls, owls, sparrows and crows throughout the year. Aircrews
should plan transition so as to avoid sunrise and sunset periods
during the Phase II period. Consult the Beale (KBAB) ATIS or
Supervisor of Flying for Bird Watch Conditions.

4. Weather visibility obstructed to 1/8 NM at SW-NW due to
hangars, and to 1/2 NM at the N due to hangars. Security lighting
on the ramp hampers night observations from SW- NW.
