3. BIRD/WILDLIFE AIRCRAFT STRIKE HAZARD (BASH) -
a. Phase I - Laughlin AFB (KDLF) operates under Phase I
from November - March. Bird and wildlife activity is normally light
during this period. The primary threats consist of occasional
soaring raptors and some migratory bird activity.
b. Phase II - Laughlin AFB (KDLF) operates under Phase II
from April-October. During this time, Laughlin AFB (KDLF) and the
auxiliary field (Wizard) have potential for large amounts of bird
activity. One threat comes from several soaring raptors from
approximately 300’ AGL to 2000’ AGL. Another threat is several
large flocks of small birds feeding on insects during the rain
season.
c. CAUTION - The potential exists for deer and other small
wildlife hazards on the airfield from sunset to sunrise, especially
during the hours of dawn and dusk.
d. BIRD WATCH CONDITION CODES - Contact Base
Operations or ATIS for Bird Watch Code. Restrictions are enforced
on local aircraft; other aircraft proceed at own risk.
(1) SEVERE - Heavy concentration of birds at a specific
location or area that represent an immediate hazard to flying
operations. Aircrew will recommend bird condition SEVERE to
the Supervisor of Flying when obvious flocks of birds are visible
or if they must take evasive action three times for less obvious
bird activity. RESTRICTIONS - Stop launch for all affected aircraft.
No takeoffs allowed, full stop landings only. Formation arrivals to
the overhead pattern will maintain route/fighting wing/tactical
until the break. No formation straight-in approaches or wing
landings allowed.
(2) MODERATE - Concentration of birds observed in
locations that represent a potential for flying operations.
RESTRICTIONS - Formations will maintain route/fighting wing
below 5000’ AGL on departure and recovery. Recovering
formations will maintain route/fighting wing until initial for an
overhead or final for a straight-in.
(3) LOW - Minimal bird sightings, standard level of
vigilance. RESTRICTIONS - None.

4. Runway Supervisory Unit Practice Area (not applicable to IFR
arrivals) - The practice area includes all airspace from the surface
up to and including 3100’ MSL within 9 DME of DLF VORTAC
from the DLF 300 radial clockwise to the DLF 136 radial, direct to
the DLF 135 radial at 5 DME, within 5 DME of DLF VORTAC from
the 135 radial clockwise to the 267 radial, within the boundary
from the DLF 267005 to DLF 288007, within 7 DME of DLF from
the DLF 288 radial to the DLF 300 radial, then along the 300
radial to 9 DME.

5. COMSEC material not available for issue. Limited classified
storage available at Command Post DSN 732-5167.

6. CUSTOMS/AGRICULTURE/IMMIGRATION - Limited
support, highly suggested that aircraft divert to clearing base.
Aircraft that must land at Laughlin AFB (KDLF) - the aircraft
commander will contact Airfield Management Operations (372.2)
with point of origin, type aircraft, tail number, ETA, number of
people on board by category (military, civilian, dependents,
foreign nationals: civilian, military, diplomatic), and type of cargo.
U.S. Custom Officials will take a minimum of 1 hour to respond to
flights that have not been previously coordinated.

1. Extensive light airplane activity in airport traffic pattern and
vicinity. Jets, turboprops, and all aircraft over 12,500 pounds -
recommend using 1800’ MSL for circling altitude, when ceiling
and visibility permits, to avoid light aircraft at 1000’ MSL.
Published circling altitudes may be used when required by ceiling
and visibility.

1. CAUTION - Expect birds on airfield. Limited parking ramp
for Category C, D, and E aircraft. Aircraft over 160,000 pound
maximum gross take-off weight use concrete taxiways only.
Concurrent loading/fueling operations permitted for transport
aircraft engaged in deployments

2. HAZARDOUS CARGO - Explosive capability A/2/3/90/3-
B/90/3; PPR, DSN 835-3524/6540. Hazardous cargo aircraft
contact Pilot to Dispatcher a minimum of 15 minutes prior to
ETA, if unable to advise tower, DSN 835-3524/2857.
(USAASA/USAASA FIL 08-01)
3. Military supported fuel service available. No fleet service or
oxygen available. Limited passenger service available. Fire guard
available on request, contact Pilot to Dispatcher on 134.1 or
245.7 prior to engine start.
4. ARRIVALS/DEPARTURES - VFR traffic inbound from the S,
contact Lawson (KLSF) Tower at Paper Mill smoke stack
(mandatory), 9.5 NM, 188° from airfield, N32°10.36’ W85°01.35’
for aircraft tactical combat spacing. Aircraft landing at Lawson
(KLSF) must have a properly executed DD Form 175 or FAA Form
7233-1 on file. Transient remaining overnight aircrews report to
Base Operations prior to departing the flightline.
5. WEATHER OBSERVATION LIMITATION - Approach ends of
Rwy 15, 21, 33 are not visible to weather observer. Reported
weather conditions may not be actual conditions at these
locations.
6. RESTRICTED AREA - All aircraft, except TACAIR under FAC
control operating in R3002, contact Range Control (SKYWATCH)
on 249.5 prior to entering R3002. Rotary-wing aircrews report to
Lawson (KLSF) Base Operations for briefing prior to entering
R3002. VHF 139.375 is provided for aircraft utilization as an
internal Air-to-Air frequency when operating on the Fort Benning
Military Reservation.
7. FRYAR Drop Zone (DZ) Operations - All aircraft conducting
paradrop operations into FRYAR DZ contact Lawson (KLSF)
Tower prior to initial point inbound.
8. Night Vision Device Operations - Extensive night vision
device training conducted on Lawson AAF (KLSF). Repeated
traffic pattern operations by unaided transient aircraft not
permitted when night vision device training in progress.
