3. CAUTION - Due to the barriers on Runway 05-23 being out<br />

of tolerance IAW AF132-1043, an increased probability of a<br />

missed engagement exists. Both barriers exceed the maximum<br />

allowable 1/8th inch surface deviation. Cable skip is unlikely but<br />

the possibility does exist. Pilots may use either barrier at their<br />

own risk.<br />

Fort Worth NAS JRB (KNFW), TX<br />

1. Fort Worth NAS JRB (KNFW) underlies Class B Airspace.<br />

VFR traffic overflies the airfield below 5000’ MSL. High mid-air<br />

collision potential exists within 25 NM. Strict noise abatement<br />

procedures are in effect. Request all four-engine aircraft keep<br />

outboard engines at idle or secured while taxiing to minimize<br />

foreign object damage hazard. No drag chutes or repacking<br />

service available. All fueling done from trucks. Expect fueling<br />

delays during high density traffic periods. PPR required for all<br />

aircraft utilizing Transient Alert services, DSN 739-5715, C817-<br />

782-5715. Very limited transportation available for transient<br />

aircrews. All transportation requests must be coordinated<br />

through Base Transportation, DSN 739-5443, C817-782-5443.<br />

2. Aircraft visiting Lockheed/Martin enter "Lockheed/Martin<br />

ramp and PPR number" in Remarks Section of flight plan.<br />

Lockheed/Martin PPR available through Government Flight<br />

Representative C817-763-3624. Limited transient services<br />

available at Lockheed/Martin.<br />

3. No capability to handle live ordnance.<br />

(<strong>US</strong>N/NAVFIG)<br />

4. Customs and Agriculture - Inspections available with 48<br />

hours prior notice, contact Emergency Communications Center<br />

C817-782-5200.<br />

(<strong>US</strong>N/NAVFIG FIL 0053-07)<br />

5. WILDLIFE ACTIVITY -<br />

a. Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth (Carswell<br />

Field) (NAS JRB Fort Worth) (KNFW) is located in north-central<br />

Texas in Tarrant County, 8 miles west of downtown Fort Worth and<br />

is 650' above mean sea level. Approximately one mile of Lake<br />

Worth's shoreline bounds the north end of the main runway. <strong>The</strong><br />

West Fork of the Trinity River borders the base to the east, the city<br />

of Fort Worth borders the base to the north and southeast, White<br />

settlement to the west and southwest and Lockheed Martin Air<br />

Force Plant 4 to the west. <strong>The</strong> proximity of the station to water<br />

sources, landfills, golf courses, a wildlife sanctuary, and the central<br />

flyway creates a high potential for hazardous encounters between<br />

wildlife and aircraft on the NAS JRB Fort Worth (KNFW) flight line<br />

and in the local operating areas.<br />

b. Designated Phase I and Phase II periods of bird activity<br />

are based on historical records.<br />

(1) PHASE I - All months not designated as Phase II.<br />

(2) PHASE II - Migratory seasons, May-June and<br />

September-October, are most likely periods of significantly<br />

increased local bird activity. During Phase II increased vigilance is<br />

required and restrictions may be implemented based on historical<br />

information on local bird movement patterns. Exceptions to this<br />

may be permitted when visual or radar observations confirm no<br />

hazardous bird activity, or during times of operational necessity.<br />

c. Bird Watch Hazard Conditions.<br />

(1) LOW - Normal bird activity on and above the airfield<br />

with a low probability of hazard. Continue operations as normal.<br />

UNITED STATES 3-91<br />

(2) MODERATE - Concentrations of birds observable in<br />

locations that represent a probable hazard to safe flying<br />

operations. This condition requires increased vigilance by all<br />

agencies and extreme caution by aircrews. Personnel will be<br />

notified to disperse birds from the airfield if necessary. Aircrews<br />

must thoroughly evaluate mission need before operating in areas<br />

under condition MODERATE. In lieu of specific guidance, (local<br />

unit specific BASH guidance is contained in local BASH<br />

publications) the following aircrew actions are recommended:<br />

(a) Delay or terminate practice approaches.<br />

(b) Modify the altitude above hazard (restricted low<br />

approach to 500' AGL, etc).<br />

(c) Initial takeoffs and full stop landings are at the<br />

aircraft commander discretion.<br />

(d) Increase interval on section departures to 20<br />

seconds minimum.<br />

(e) Increase spacing to a minimum 6000' between<br />

landing aircraft.<br />

(3) SEVERE - Heavy concentrations of birds on or<br />

immediately above the active runway or other specific locations<br />

that represent an immediate hazard to safe flying operations.<br />

Personnel will be notified immediately to disperse birds from the<br />

airfield. Aircrews must thoroughly evaluate mission need before<br />

operating in areas under condition SEVERE. In lieu of specific<br />

guidance, the following aircrew actions are recommended:<br />

(a) Fuel and weather permitting, inbound aircraft will<br />

hold until bird removal actions or natural movements have lowered<br />

the hazard condition, otherwise proceed to alternate.<br />

(b) Departing aircraft will hold on deck until bird<br />

removal actions or natural movements have lowered the hazard<br />

condition.<br />

NOTE: If the bird/wildlife hazard is fouling the runway, the Control<br />

Tower will close the runway per pertinent FAA directives. Tower<br />

clearance will not be issued. Accordingly, all operations will be at<br />

the discretion and risk of the pilot in command.<br />

Francis E. Warren AFB Heliport (KFEW), WY<br />

1. Air Base is closed to all fixed wing traffic. All transient fixed<br />

wing traffic with official business at Francis E. Warren AFB<br />

Heliport (KFEW) or in the Cheyenne area must land and depart<br />

from Cheyenne (KCYS). Rotary wing aircraft contact 37th<br />

Helicopter Flight at DSN 481-2001/3921 for PPR. Transient<br />

helicopters must contact helicopter maintenance at DSN 481-<br />

3280/3921 for servicing coordination. Limited transient<br />

maintenance, towing or hangar space available for transient<br />

aircraft. Avoid overflight of the weapons storage area 1/8 NM W<br />

of the helipad and all base housing complexes. Contact Blade<br />

Operations for landing, parking and any NOTAM information on<br />

271.9. Contact Cheyenne (KCYS) Tower on 118.7 257.8 prior to<br />

entering the Class D Airspace and for local helicopter traffic<br />

advisories. Phase II (the high bird potential hazard time period) of<br />

the Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard program is in effect annually from<br />

September through February.<br />

2. Rotary wing traffic arriving and departing IFR must file<br />

to/from Cheyenne (KCYS) transitioning VFR to/from Cheyenne<br />

(KCYS) transitioning VFR to/from Francis E. Warren AFB Heliport<br />

(KFEW).<br />
