1. ANG - Extremely noise sensitive area S of the airport during
summer months. Depart to the N and land to the S whenever
possible. Multiple landings/low approaches by jet aircraft are
prohibited; other aircraft are normally limited to 30 minutes.
Airport hazards include helicopter, glider, banner towing, and
parachute jumping operations as well as heavy VFR light aircraft
and corporate jet traffic due to multiple civilian airports in the
vicinity; all are especially pronounced during the summer months
(May-September). Air-refueling tracks 3 NM S of the S Long
Island coast are used regularly. These air-refueling tracks extend
E from Long Island MacArthur Airport (KISP) to S of Block Island
and from Montauk Point NNE to the coast of Rhode Island. No
transient maintenance, transportation or quarters available;
expect servicing delays and limited ramp space. Notify Rescue
Operations if landing with munitions, flares and/or hazardous
cargo. Bird hazard exists during migration season and from
resident sea gulls. Deer are often seen on or in the vicinity of the
runway.

1. Rotary wing aircraft landing to Rwy 06 use left traffic, 1500’
MSL. Landing to Rwy 24 use right traffic, 1500’ MSL. Fixed wing
aircraft landing to Rwy 06 use left traffic, 2200’ MSL. Landing to
Rwy 24 use right traffic, 2200’ MSL. When landing Rwy 24, all
traffic are requested to fly final so as to avoid overflight of the
housing development on the left side of the final approach
course. Departing traffic is requested to climb straight ahead at a
safe maximum climb rate to traffic pattern altitude before making
turns.
2. When the requirement exists for ground performance
checks between the hours of 0200-1130Z++, they will be
performed at the Rwy 06 run-up area only.
3. Sky diving operations take place at unscheduled times
weekdays and continuously on weekends to 16,000’ MSL. Users

Fresno Yosemite Intl (KFAT), CA
1. ANG-144FW CAANG (OSAB) – HOURS OF OPERATION

OPS 298.3 or 138.15 20 minutes prior to arrival or DSN 839-5194.
2. WILDLIFE ACTIVITY -
a. BASH
(1) Phase I - All months not designated as Phase II. Bird
activity is generally light during this period.
(2) Phase II - Wildlife activity in the vicinity of runways
and Taxiways during the months between Mar-May. Waterfowl in
the vicinity of airport during morning/evening and particularly
winter months. Numerous small ponding basins located .5 NM
NW of the airfield provides significant habitat and occasionally
hosts a large number of waterfowl. Aircrews are advised to
exercise vigilance and avoid low altitude flight operations over
this area.
b. BIRD WATCH CONDITIONS - ANG Base Operations
issues Bird Watch Condition Codes (LOW/MODERATE/SEVERE)
for 144FW based aircraft and (when requested) transient aircraft.
During hours of operation for the ANG, BASH conditions are
available by contacting GRIFFIN OPS on primary UHF 298.3 and
secondary VHF 138.15. Base Operations will issue Bird Watch
Condition Codes and are defined under the following parameters:
(1) LOW - Normal bird activity on and above the airfield
with a low probability of hazard. No flight restrictions apply.
(2) MODERATE - Concentrations of 5 to 15 large birds
or 15 to 30 small birds observable in locations that represent a
probable hazard to flying operations.
(3) SEVERE - Concentrations of more than 15 large or
30 small birds. This condition requires total vigilance by all
agencies and EXTREME caution by aircrews. 144OG/CC approval
required for all unit flying activities.
3. PPR PROCEDURES – PPR required for all transient military
aircraft due to limited military ramp space. Contact ANG
Operations for PPR at DSN 839-5194. PPR coordination is
required no later than 7 days in advance of arrival. PPRs are good
for 1 hour plus or minus the PPR time.
PPRs will be canceled after 1 hour. Early or late arrivals must be
coordinated by ANG Operations (or the ANG Command Post at
DSN 839-5155 after normal duty hours) at least 4 hours prior to
original PPR time.
NOTE: PPR requirements for military aircraft do not pertain to
airfield operating hours.
4. CLASSIFIED MATERIALS - Due to limited availability of
classified material, all aircrews should plan to arrive with the
appropriate amount of materials needed. Short term Classified
Material Storage should be coordinated with ANG Command
Post at DSN 839-5155.
5. HAZARDOUS/DANGEROUS CARGO - Aircraft inbound to
unload or load dangerous cargo or transiting with dangerous
cargo must contact ANG Operations 15-30 minutes prior to
arrival with DOT Classification and Net Explosive Weight.
6. MILITARY AIRCRAFT ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES -
Aircraft are controlled by an FAA Control Tower that does not
pass military aircraft arrival, departure, or approach times to ANG
Operations.
a. Request all military aircraft with DV Code 6 or higher
contact GRIFFIN COMMAND POST on UHF 298.3 not later than
15 minutes out or as soon as practical. Pass actual departure times
to GRIFFIN COMMAND POST on UHF 298.3 as well.
b. Space A travel into Fresno ANGB (KFAT) is NOT
recommended due to limited services. Passenger screening not
available for Space A travel. Space A passengers must be briefed
that Fresno ANGB (KFAT) does not have a passenger terminal or
base taxi for Space A passengers. Limited surface transportation.
Prior transportation arrangements from the base are mandatory.
No dining, lodging, or transportation services within walking
distance. Main gate is 3 miles away from transient parking, and
nearest civilian facilities are 4 miles away.
7. NOISE ABATEMENT - The procedures described below are
mandatory and designed to minimize aircraft noise disturbance to
homes near the Fresno airports. Your compliance with our noise
abatement procedures is extremely important in maintaining
goodwill between the airports, military and the surrounding
communities. The Fresno Yosemite International procedures
reflect policies established by the FAR Part 150 Airport Noise
Compatibility Program (City of Fresno Ordinance No. 92-77).
Please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the
procedures.
