NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA - CNATRA - The US Navy

8. GENERAL -
a. Due to Military Airspace Management System technical
difficulties all DYS slow routes are reserved for 317AG training only
UFN. Point of Contact: 317AG airspace manager DSN 461-2318.
b. Aircraft with reverse thrusters refrain from using unless
necessary due to high foreign object damage potential. Any
questions contact airfield management DSN 461-2515.
c. Rwy 16-34, no off-center take-offs or landings except for
locally assigned C-130s.
d. Mowers on airfield 1220-2130Z++ weekdays.
e. Expect delays to foreign object damage checks after
arrival/departure of all heavy aircraft except B1 aircraft.
(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 02-51)
f. AM OPS does not have COMSEC or storage available for
transient crews; transient crews should plan to arrive with
appropriate amount of COMSEC to complete mission. Limited
storage available at AMCC DSN 461-1996.
(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 03-50)
g. The existing asphalt shoulders for Taxiways A/B/C/D/E/F
reflect severe rutting and pavement deterioration posing a
potential foreign object damage hazard.

Eastern West Virginia Rgnl/Shepherd Fld
(KMRB), WV
1. CAUTION - Deer and flocks of birds occasionally on or near
the runway. Wide radius turns required on runways and taxiways
to prevent tire scuffing. ANG ramp extremely congested, utilize
taxi lines and marshallers.
(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 06-215)
2. ANG - No fleet or passenger service available. Transient
quarters not available. Government transportation extremely
limited. Prior notice required for aircraft requiring security, DSN
242-5250. Contact Pikeside Control 297.0 prior to arrival and
prior to engine start. Traffic pattern - Rectangular 1600’ MSL,
Overhead authorized only to Rwy 08-26 at 2100’ MSL. MRB
Tower operates to support ANG flying activity; MRB FSS other
times.
(167 AW/167 AW FIL 07-358)
3. NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES - For all runways,
attempt to climb as expeditiously as possible through 1000’ MSL.
(AFFSA/AFFSA)
Edwards AFB (KEDW), CA
1. See FLIGHT HAZARDS - CALIFORNIA. Numerous flight test
activity around Edwards (KEDW) and in the R2508 Complex
preclude furnishing IFR separation.
a. Aircraft departing Edwards AFB (KEDW) on an IFR flight
plan will maintain VMC until the boundary of the R2508 Complex.
b. Edwards AFB (KEDW) is not a suitable alternate except in
cases of declared emergencies.
(AFFSA/AFFSA)
2. ALL AIRCRAFT -
UNITED STATES 3-83
a. All non-assigned aircraft (military or civilian) landing
Edwards AFB (KEDW) require PPR (no exceptions). Transitions
should be prior coordinated in advance with airspace manager
DSN 527-2446. See IFR Supplement for PPR requirements.
Contact Base Operations, DSN 527- 2222/3571, C661-277-
2222/3571.
b. Radio contact is mandatory. Prior to entry into R2515,
contact SPORT on 343.7 or 132.75 (Operational normally 1400-
0400Z++ Monday-Friday, otherwise contact Joshua Approach
Departure Control 133.65 348.7). VHF-only aircraft must have
120.7 (tower) two-way capability and must indicate "VHF ONLY"
as the first item in the remarks section of their flight plan. UHF/VHF
dual equipped aircraft use UHF in the traffic pattern.
c. During period 1500-0100Z++ Monday-Friday, transient
aircraft are restricted to radar vectors to straight-in full stop
landing, radar vectors to VFR traffic pattern followed by full stop
landing, or instrument approach terminating with full stop landing.
d. If by accepting all published rules and procedures
governing the R-2508/R-2515 complexes, you may elect to be a
"participant" and therefore must abide by all published rules and
procedures governing the R-2508/R-2515 complexes. If you intend
to be an IFR non-participating aircraft, inform Base Operations of
your intentions. Either way, as the first item in your “remarks”
section of your IFR flight plan indicate whether you are a
“participant” or a “non-participant”.
e. To avoid delays entering Restricted Area R2515, nonparticipating
aircraft must arrive between 1300-1500Z++, 1800-
2000Z++ or 0100-0500Z++.
f. Aircraft with a wingspan greater than 172 feet require
wing-walkers when taxiing between Taxiway Alpha and Bravo in
the vicinity of aircraft shelters and helicopter parking area (Rows
O-P).
(412 OSS-OSAM/412 OSS-OSAM FIL 07-806)
3. CARGO AND PASSENGER SERVICE
a. Cargo aircraft requiring support must arrive prior to
0200Z++.
b. Space A travel into Edwards AFB (KEDW) is NOT
recommended due to limited services. Passenger screening not
available for Space A travel. Space A passengers must be briefed
that Edwards AFB (KEDW) does not have a passenger terminal or
base taxi for Space A passengers. Prior transportation
arrangements from the base are mandatory. No dining, lodging, or
transportation services within walking distance. Main gate is 6
miles away, and nearest civilian facilities (Lancaster, CA) are 35
miles away.
(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 05-556)
4. ARRIVALS/DEPARTURES -
a. ARRIVALS - Preferred transient arrivals procedure is to be
a VFR "Participant." This requires filing to a designated VFR entry
point for the R2508 Complex and flying VFR from this entry point
to final for a straight-in full stop landing. S base Rwy 24 has been
misidentified as main runway by some visiting pilots.
(1) Arriving aircraft should advise Joshua Approach
and/or Sport that they are "Participating Aircraft." The
Controlling Agencies, Joshua or Sport, will, upon request,
provide heading and altitude guidance to avoid active special use
areas.
