according to the listing below. If the SOF is absent, the Tower
Supervisor will be the controlling authority.
(1) BWC MODERATE: No Formation Takeoffs.
Afterburner takeoff required (fighters). Takeoff only when
departure routes avoid identified bird activity. No formation
approaches. No practice approaches (VFR or Instrument). No
formation landings. Landings allowed only when arrival routes
avoid identified bird activity.
(2) BWC SEVERE: Takeoff prohibited without 3 OG/CC
or higher approval. No pattern work, aircraft will hold (fuel
permitting). Prohibited without 3 OG/CC or higher approval
(unless required for emergency or to meet normal/divert fuel
requirement), landing authority delegated to SOF regardless of

separation (300’) in Rwy 06 approach corridor may produce
increased TCAS warnings.

5. BIRD WATCH CONDITIONS - Local bird hazards include
seagulls, crows, ducks, and geese. Bird concentrations are along
the S side of the runway and off the approach ends (due to water
reservoirs). AMC's MODERATE and SEVERE Bird Watch
Condition hazard guidance applies to AMC operations. Air traffic
control will keep airfield users advised of the current Bird Watch
Condition Code and the status of AMC operations, however, for
other than AMC aircraft, continued operations are at their own
discretion and in accordance with their command directives. In
addition, the airfield will not be closed for a SEVERE bird hazard
condition. The following defines the condition codes and actions:
a. LOW - Sparse bird activity within the designated infield
area to include the departure/arrival corridor.
b. MODERATE - Concentrations of 5-15 large birds or 15-30
small birds observed in locations that represent a probable hazard
to safe flying operations. ACTION: Initial take-off and final landing
allowed only when departure and arrival routes avoid identified
bird activity. Additionally, local IFR/VFR traffic pattern activity
ceases.
c. SEVERE - Heavy concentrations of birds (more than 15
large or 30 small birds) on or above the runway, taxiways, in-field
areas, and departure or arrival routes. ACTION: All
arriving/airborne aircraft will proceed to a holding fix. All takeoffs,
approaches and landings are prohibited without the express
approval of the applicable operations Group Commander.
