NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA - CNATRA - The US Navy

a. ALL AIRCRAFT
(1) Traffic Pattern Altitudes:
803’ MSL - Helicopters
1303’ MSL - Single-Engine Airplanes (reciprocating engine)
1803’ MSL - Multiengine Airplanes (reciprocating engine &
turboprop)
2303’ MSL - Turbojet Airplanes
(2) Intersection takeoffs from Runway 29L are not
permitted, except during single-runway capability operations
(Runway 11L-29R closed/unusable). Intersection takeoffs from
Runway 29R are only permitted from Taxiway "B2", except
during single-runway capability operations (Runway 11R-29L
closed/unusable).
(3) Test- or check-flights, practice landings and low
approaches, and stop- or touch-and-go operations are permitted
only between 0700 and 2200 local time Monday through
Saturday, and between 1000 and 1800 local time on Sundays.
Note: Contact ANG Operations for prior coordination of any
flight requirements outside these hours.
(4) Engine maintenance run-ups are permitted between
0500 and 2200 local time on the Taxiway "B2" run-up pad
(between Runway 29L and Taxiway "B") only, except for other
time periods and/or locations authorized by ANG Operations in
advance.
b. SMALL SINGLE-ENGINE & MULTI-ENGINE AIRPLANES
(maximum certificated takeoff weight less than 12,500 lbs.):
After takeoff, climb on runway heading until passing 850' MSL
(single-engine) or 1000' MSL (multiengine). For safety and noise
abatement, initial climbout at best rate-of-climb (Vy) is
recommended.
c. ALL AIRCRAFT (maximum certificated takeoff weight
over 12,500 lbs.):
(1) VFR ENROUTE PROCEDURES/ARRIVALS Ensure
contact with ATC prior to entering Class “C” airspace. Expect
left-hand traffic pattern for Runway 11L -- right-hand pattern for
Runway 29R.
(2) When conducting VFR test-,check-, or training-flights
and making approaches to Runway 11L, maintain at or above
2000' MSL until established on a 5 nautical mile (localizer DME)
final.
(3) A normal approach path (approximate 3° angle) will
be flown on final.
(4) No practice missed-approaches or go-arounds to
Runway 11L.
(5) Opposite direction approaches to Runway 11L are
not authorized when Runway 29R is in use.
(6) Runway 11L Preferential Usage: Should Runway 29R
be in use, large turbojet aircraft will receive an ATC clearance for
an opposite-direction takeoff on Runway 11L, on a flight safetyand
weather-permitting basis, between the local hours of 2400
and 0500.
(7) After takeoff, climb on runway heading until at or
above 2000' MSL, as rapidly as practicable.
d. TACTICAL MILITARY AIRCRAFT:
UNITED STATES 3-93
(1) Cancel afterburner use on takeoff by the airport
boundary. If safe to do so, avoid use of full military power
settings until outside city boundaries or above 4000 MSL.
(2) Limit pattern operations to a single approach to a
full stop or as directed by Fresno Approach (to include Runway
11L).
(3) After 2200 hours local, go around and low
approaches will be flown only if directed by the tower or for
safety of flight.
8. CAUTION – When possible all tactical military aircraft should
utilize taxiways on north side of runways or call ANG Operations
DSN 839-5194 for the current preferred taxi routes, to mitigate
potential FOD incidents.

General Mitchell Intl (KMKE), WI
1. NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES - Strictly enforced. Rwy
01L, 07R and 25L for all turbojet aircraft maintain runway heading
until 2000’ MSL then turn to assigned heading. Rwy 19R turn to
assigned heading. Terminate use of afterburner as soon as
possible when safely airborne.
(AFFSA/AFFSA)
2. ANG - No transient parking. Transient aircraft requiring
maintenance will be recovered by home base. Aircraft security for
C-5 available for remaining overnight emergency only.
(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 07-698)
3. BIRD WATCH CONDITIONS - Phase II periods are from
March - May and September - November for migratory waterfowl
transiting the area. Concentrations of large waterfowl including
Canadian geese frequently over-fly the base searching for
feeding in fields throughout the local area. No comments on ATIS
when Bird Condition is moderate or low, however, Severe will be
announced. Contact Upset Control or Base Operations on 321.0
for current Bird Watch Conditions.
(128ARW-SE 492/128ARW-SE 492 FIL 08-255)
Gila Bend AF Aux (KGBN), AZ
1. Military aircraft (fixed wing and helicopter) frequently violate
airspace Restricted Areas R2304 and R2305 located S of V-66 and
the traffic pattern at Gila Bend AF Aux (KGBN). Aircraft must
exercise caution to avoid violation of these Restricted Areas,
traffic pattern, and drop zone.
(AFFSA/AFFSA)
2. Gila Bend AF Aux (KGBN) is for emergency use only for
aircraft utilizing the Luke AFB (KLUF) range complex. Others
desiring use and C-130 aircraft or smaller require 56 RMO/CC
approval not later than 24 hours prior DSN 896-5261. Avoid
overflying the town of Gila Bend, AZ, 2.5 NM N of field. Airfield
operational only during range flying periods. Closed holidays.
Rwy 35 in use up to 10 knot tailwind. Expect delays for higher
priority traffic.
3. Extremely limited transient service. No fleet or passenger
service available. Transient quarters and government
transportation extremely limited. No hangars available. No
maintenance service. No heavy aircraft parking. Limited J8. No
ramp lighting.
