12. Transient aircrews planning low level or VFR flying into, out
of, or in the vicinity of March ARB (KRIV) will contact 452 AMW
Tactics (452 OSS/OSK) at DSN 447-4376/5545, C909-655-
4376/5545 to deconflict with 452 AMW tactical operations and
receive a local area briefing.

Maxwell AFB (KMXF), AL
1. CAUTION - Taxiway A closed to low intake jet aircraft N of
Taxiway B. No taxiway lights on Taxiway B, day use only when
visibility is 1 mile or greater. Taxiway designation signs on
Taxiway Bravo (300' wide) east side of assault strip, north and the
south portion are located 4' (not within criteria) from the taxiway
edge with no shoulder/deceptive lines displayed. Use caution
when utilizing this taxiway as the current position of the taxiway
designation signs create an illusion of a smaller taxiway than
actually exists. Runway designation signs located at the
intersection of Taxiway Alpha and Runway 15 east side, are
located 12' north and south from the taxiway edge. Use caution
when utilizing this taxiway as current position of the runway
designation signs can create an illusion of a wider taxiway than
actually exists. Parking area NE of Base Operations is not visible
from the Tower. All aircraft with wingspan greater than C130 use
caution, fence 7'8" to 8' tall, 116' NW of north ramp taxilane
centerline. All aircraft larger than C130 parking on north ramp
must use wing walkers due to limited wingtip clearance.

2. Base aircraft making multiple approaches have priority over
transient training missions. Limited transient quarters available
until further notice, prior arrangement recommended. DSN 493-
2430/2055. Expect landing delay during drop zone training. VHF
only aircraft must have 118.15 two-way capability. Limited fleet
service available. Contact Base Operations DSN 493-6961 for
fleet service requests. Transient aircraft expect servicing delay
during peak traffic periods. For Harrier aircraft: Vertical takeoffs
and hover landings are permitted only on the first 2200’ of Rwy
15. Cargo handling limited to 10,000 pound fork-lift. Cargo
onload/offload requirements must have prior coordination with
42 LG/LGM, DSN 493-6228. Aircraft with firearms call minimum
24 hours prior to arrange for security. COMSEC not available.
Adequate tie-down/hangar space not available for severe
weather. Arm/de-arm services not available for transient aircraft.
(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 04-651)
3. ASSAULT LANDING ZONE - Rwy 007-187 is restricted to
C130 or smaller aircraft only during VMC conditions with valid
assault zone training requirements. PPR for non Maxwell (KMXF)
based C130 or smaller aircraft. Contact Base Operation DSN 493-
6961/2.
a. Transient aircraft/aircrew operating on assault strip for
the first time are required to conduct a familiarization taxi of the
assault strip prior to use. Aircrews should coordinate with Maxwell
Tower and plan to land Rwy 15-33 and taxi the full length of the
assault strip for aircrew familiarization.
b. Aircraft landing on assault strip are required to hold short
of Rwy 15-33. Aircraft may roll through the intersection onto Rwy
15-33 provided this has been coordinated with the Tower prior to
each approach.
(42 MSD-AOA/42 MSD-AOA FIL 07-340)
4. Customs/Agriculture available only for aircraft supporting
Air University and 908th Airlift Wing missions. Contact Maxwell
(KMXF) Base Operations at least 72 hours prior to arrival to
coordinate customs/agriculture requirements.
(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 05-723)
5. BIRD AIRCRAFT STRIKE HAZARD - Expect increased bird
activity (sparrows, egrets, and some geese) during periods of
dusk and dawn throughout the year. Maxwell AFB (KMXF) is not
on a major migratory route, however, some migratory birds
transit the area mainly during the spring and fall. Therefore,
Maxwell AFB (KMXF) has the following BASH Phase I and Phase II
periods:
a. Phase I: Normal bird activity which is generally light in the
runway environment during most of the year and designated as all
times outside the Phase II period.
b. Phase II: April-May and October-November. The airfield
has the potential for increased numbers of migratory birds (mainly
geese) transiting the area due to proximity to water and feeding
sources. Heightened activity is most prevalent during the dusk and
dawn time periods.
6. BIRD WATCH CONDITION CODES:
a. Bird Watch Condition SEVERE: Bird activity on or
immediately above the active runway or other specific location
representing high potential for strikes. Supervisors and aircrews
must thoroughly evaluate mission need before conducting
operations in areas under condition SEVERE.
b. Bird Watch Condition MODERATE. Bird activity near the
active runway or other specific location representing increased
potential for strikes. BWC moderate requires increased vigilance
by all agencies and supervisors, and caution by aircrews.
c. Bird Watch Condition LOW. Bird activity on and around
the airfield representing low potential for strikes.

McChord AFB (KTCM), WA
1. CAUTION - D Ramp S parking spots D32-D43. Area used to
park transient fighter aircraft only. 200’ taxiway centerline
clearance and 125’ apron edge clearance criteria not met.
Wingtip clearance of 30’ for spots 39 through 43 not met. F/FB-
111 aircraft allowed to operate on the ramp only with wings
retracted. Potential hazard for coyotes or deer on or near the
runway. C17/C5/B747 aircraft will not park on parking spot K2
without Chief, Airfield Management approval. Taxiing aircraft will
not utilize Taxiway K without 62 OG/CC approval.
(62 OSS-OSAA/62 OSS-OSAA FIL 07-544)
2. MCCHORD AFB (KTCM) BASH GUIDANCE - BASH Phase I
period indicates historically light bird activity, normally associated
with non-migratory seasons. BASH II period indicates historically
heavy bird activity, normally associated with migratory seasons.
Typically, this period runs from 1 October through 31 March, or
as determined by OG/CC, and will be announced by FCIF and
NOTAM. During this period aircrews should be especially aware
of increased bird activity and bird strike risks along migratory
routes.
