b. Itinerant traffic should contact Navy Fallon (KNFL)
Approach/Desert Control for advisories. Restricted areas must not
be penetrated without specific clearance.
c. Pilots must be alert for aircraft operating VFR from Gabbs
(GAB) and Austin (9U3) Airports beneath the FRTC.
d. Aircraft inbound on an IFR flight plan with a delay to
operate within the FRTC must be aware that IFR services are
automatically terminated upon contacting Desert Control.
e. Airborne aircraft intending to depart the FRTC above
FL180 shall coordinate clearance with Desert Control, including
route of flight and request altitude, at least 5 minutes prior to
"push time" (ETD).
f. Scheduling of Fallon Range Training Complex (FRTC)
airspace outside of published airfield hours will be allowed only
after approval has been granted by the Fallon NAS (KNFL) OPS
Officer to extend/modify published airfield hours.

Forbes Fld ANG (KFOE), KS
1. PPR for transient aircraft due to extremely limited ANG
ramp space. Contact ANG for PPR and services DSN 720-
4649/4655.
(190 OSF-OSA/190 OSF-OSA FIL 07-687)
2. Due to limited ANG services, AMC flights requiring the use
of ANG facilities, contact XPL DSN 720-4951 describing your
requirements not later than 72 hours prior to planned arrival.
3. No passenger service. No fleet service. No drag chute
repack. De-icing fluid not available for transient aircraft. Precision
measuring equipment laboratory pickup and delivery expect 1.5
hours delay. CAUTION - Possible foreign object damage due to
poor condition of ramp and taxiway surfaces.

4. BIRD ACTIVITY -
a. BASH Phase I - All months not designated as Phase II.
Phase I represents normal bird activity outside the migratory
season.
b. Phase II timeframe at Forbes Fld (KFOE) is from March -
May and September - November. Phase II represents significantly
increased bird activity, normally associated with migratory
seasons. Phase II is designed to enable aircrews to effectively plan
training around the months they can expect to see an increase in
BWC. Transient crews can obtain the actual BWC from Wylie
Control on 286.5.

Fort Smith Rgnl (KFSM), AR
1. BIRD AIRCRAFT STRIKE HAZARD (BASH) INFORMATION -
a. BASH Phase I - All months not designated as Phase II.
Wildlife activity is generally LOW during these periods, except for
some small bird activity during daylight hours and mowing
operations.
b. BASH Phase II - 1 October to 30 November and 1
February to 30 April due to possibility of large migratory waterfowl
flocks.
2. PRIOR PERMISSION REQUIRED (PPR) -
a. All aircraft, other than base-assigned, shall obtain a PPR
number at DSN 778-5502, C479-573-5502.
b. Contact Fort Smith Rgnl (KFSM) Base Operations 20
minutes prior to arrival on UHF 268.1. Forward the following
information - call sign, type aircraft, person on board and time on
station.
3. ANG - Normal duty hours subject to change without notice
when mission requirements dictate. Dangerous cargo facilities
and handling not available.

Fort Wayne Intl (KFWA), IN
1. ANG - Limited transient parking. Runway distance markers
not lighted. Practice low approaches are not authorized.
Transient aircraft plan full stop landing. Noise abatement
procedures strictly enforced.

2. BIRD WATCH CONDITIONS - CAUTION: Bird Hazard year
round due to non-migratory birds at the airfield. Increased hazard
exist during the hours around dawn and dusk, especially during
the migratory waterfowl periods. BASH Phase II is in effect April-
June and August-November. All other times BASH Phase I.
During ANG hours of operation, BASH conditions are available
from Snake Ops on UHF 289.3 or VHF 138.625. BASH conditions
are defined under the following parameters:
a. LOW - Bird activity around the airfield represents a LOW
potential for strikes. Normal operating procedures apply.
b. MODERATE - Bird activity near the active runway
represents an increased potential for strike. This condition requires
increased vigilance by all agencies and supervisors and caution by
aircrews. Restriction to aircrews include:
(1) Airfield Areas: Limit departure and approaches to
one, if the departure and arrival route avoids identified bird
activities. Do not conduct multiple approach and traffic patterns,
formation takeoffs and landings are not recommended.
(2) Ranges/Training areas: Change flight profiles or
altitudes to avoid the bird hazard.
(3) Low Level Routes: Decrease low level flight
exposure time, change formations and profiles to allow for
increased visual lookout, decrease airspeeds, and modify flight
altitudes to minimize bird hazard.
c. SEVERE - High bird population on or immediately above
the active runway or other specific location that represents a high
potential for strike. Supervisors and aircrews must thoroughly
evaluate mission needs before conducting operations in areas
under condition SEVERE. Restrictions to aircrews include:
(1) Airfields Areas: Normal flight operations will not be
conducted in the airfield area without 122 OG/CC (or higher)
approval. Diverson of inflight aircraft may be required. Formation
takeoffs are prohibited.
(2) Ranges and Training areas: The range and training
areas will not be used at the specific area or altitude.
(3) Low Level routes: Note and avoid specific routes,
segments and altitudes.
