4. FIXED WING AIRCRAFT NOISE ABATEMENT
PROCEDURES -
a. The primary runway for noise abatement is Rwy 12.
Opposite direction take-offs will only be made when an
operational need occurs. Opposite direction take-offs require
approval from 355 OG/CC, through Command Post DSN 228-
7400.
b. To minimize noise over the city of Tucson, aircraft
departing on Rwy 12 or 30 should climb using safe procedures
consistent with the aircraft flight manual until reaching 6000’ MSL,
then accelerate to required airspeed.
c. Pilots of B52, C5, C9, C141, KC10 and KC135 aircraft are
required to depart via Rwy 12 with up to 10 Kt of tailwind. Fuel
loads must be planned accordingly. When Rwy 30 is in use, expect
an undetermined delay due to opposite direction traffic. When
aircraft performance requires take-off on Rwy 30, prior approval
from the 355 OG/CC, through Base Operations is required.
5. ROTARY WING AIRCRAFT PROCEDURES -
a. ARRIVALS -
(1) Transient helicopters are not permitted to land on
the helipad without prior approval from the Airfield Manager.
(2) Unless otherwise coordinated, all arrivals will utilize
the runway and exit at Taxiway A3 (midfield taxiway). Helicopters
with wheels will land on the runway and utilize minimum power
taxiing to the transient ramp. Helicopters without wheels will
come to a hover prior to taxiing to the transient ramp.
(3) As per 355 OG/CC, helicopter formations are not
authorized to land on the helipad and will be a single helicopter
operation only. Each helicopter will approach the helipad while
the remainder of the formation holds at a minimum of 500’ AGL,
and far enough away from the airfield to prevent disruption of
traffic to the runway.
(AFFSA/AFFSA)
(4) Helicopter hover point located S of the tower is for
use by base assigned aircraft only.
(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 04-285)
b. DEPARTURES -

Manager.
(2) Unless otherwise coordinated, all departures will
utilize the runway and enter at Taxiway A3 (midfield taxiway).
Helicopters with wheels will taxi utilizing minimum power until on
the runway surface. Helicopters without wheels will hover taxi to
the runway surface before increasing power for take-off.
c. In the event a helicopter pilot requests to deviate from
the above procedures, contact Base Operations for approval. The
operation will be considered only if the deviation will not be a
hazard to airfield operations.

1. ANG - Contract fuel not available, civilian contractors may
accept government credit card.
2. BIRD HAZARDS - Phase I all months not designated as Phase
II. Bird activity is generally light during this period. Phase II
expect wildlife activity during the months of October, November
and March especially during morning and evenings. A lake
located on approach end of Runway 05 and a small pond located
on east end of field provides waterfowl habitat and occasionally
hosts a large number of waterfowl. Exercise vigilance and avoid
low altitude flight operations over this area. During hours of
operation for the ANG, BASH conditions are available if you
contact HAWKI Operations on primary UHF 252.9 and secondary
