Operations Group Commander (452 OG/CC). Requests for<br />
approval are to be made through the host wing Maintenance<br />
Aircraft Coordination Center (MACC) (452 ARW/CPM).<br />
(AFFSA/AFFSA)<br />

(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 07-522)<br />
12. Transient aircrews planning low level or VFR flying into, out<br />
of, or in the vicinity of March ARB (KRIV) will contact 452 AMW<br />
Tactics (452 OSS/OSK) at DSN 447-4376/5545, C909-655-<br />

Maxwell AFB (KMXF), AL<br />
1. CAUTION - Taxiway A closed to low intake jet aircraft N of<br />
Taxiway B. No taxiway lights on Taxiway B, day use only when<br />
visibility is 1 mile or greater. Taxiway designation signs on<br />
Taxiway Bravo (300' wide) east side of assault strip, north and the<br />
south portion are located 4' (not within criteria) from the taxiway<br />
edge with no shoulder/deceptive lines displayed. Use caution<br />
when utilizing this taxiway as the current position of the taxiway<br />
designation signs create an illusion of a smaller taxiway than<br />
actually exists. Runway designation signs located at the<br />
intersection of Taxiway Alpha and Runway 15 east side, are<br />
located 12' north and south from the taxiway edge. Use caution<br />
when utilizing this taxiway as current position of the runway<br />
designation signs can create an illusion of a wider taxiway than<br />
actually exists. Parking area NE of Base Operations is not visible<br />
from the Tower. All aircraft with wingspan greater than C130 use<br />
caution, fence 7'8" to 8' tall, 116' NW of north ramp taxilane<br />
centerline. All aircraft larger than C130 parking on north ramp<br />
must use wing walkers due to limited wingtip clearance.<br />
(MSD-AOA/MSD-AOA FIL 08-205)<br />
2. Base aircraft making multiple approaches have priority over<br />
transient training missions. Limited transient quarters available<br />
until further notice, prior arrangement recommended. DSN 493-<br />
2430/2055. Expect landing delay during drop zone training. VHF<br />
only aircraft must have 118.15 two-way capability. Limited fleet<br />
service available. Contact Base Operations DSN 493-6961 for<br />
fleet service requests. Transient aircraft expect servicing delay<br />
during peak traffic periods. For Harrier aircraft: Vertical takeoffs<br />
and hover landings are permitted only on the first 2200’ of Rwy<br />
15. Cargo handling limited to 10,000 pound fork-lift. Cargo<br />
onload/offload requirements must have prior coordination with<br />
42 LG/LGM, DSN 493-6228. Aircraft with firearms call minimum<br />
24 hours prior to arrange for security. COMSEC not available.<br />
Adequate tie-down/hangar space not available for severe<br />
weather. Arm/de-arm services not available for transient aircraft.<br />
(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 04-651)<br />
3. ASSAULT L<strong>AND</strong>ING ZONE - Rwy 007-187 is restricted to<br />
C130 or smaller aircraft only during VMC conditions with valid<br />
assault zone training requirements. PPR for non Maxwell (KMXF)<br />
based C130 or smaller aircraft. Contact Base Operation DSN 493-<br />
6961/2.<br />
a. Transient aircraft/aircrew operating on assault strip for<br />
the first time are required to conduct a familiarization taxi of the<br />
assault strip prior to use. Aircrews should coordinate with Maxwell<br />
Tower and plan to land Rwy 15-33 and taxi the full length of the<br />
assault strip for aircrew familiarization.<br />
b. Aircraft landing on assault strip are required to hold short<br />
of Rwy 15-33. Aircraft may roll through the intersection onto Rwy<br />
15-33 provided this has been coordinated with the Tower prior to<br />
each approach.<br />
(42 MSD-AOA/42 MSD-AOA FIL 07-340)<br />
4. Customs/Agriculture available only for aircraft supporting<br />
Air University and 908th Airlift Wing missions. Contact Maxwell<br />
(KMXF) Base Operations at least 72 hours prior to arrival to<br />
coordinate customs/agriculture requirements.<br />
(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 05-723)<br />
5. BIRD AIRCRAFT STRIKE HAZARD - Expect increased bird<br />
activity (sparrows, egrets, and some geese) during periods of<br />
dusk and dawn throughout the year. Maxwell AFB (KMXF) is not<br />
on a major migratory route, however, some migratory birds<br />
transit the area mainly during the spring and fall. <strong>The</strong>refore,<br />
Maxwell AFB (KMXF) has the following BASH Phase I and Phase II<br />
periods:<br />
a. Phase I: Normal bird activity which is generally light in the<br />
runway environment during most of the year and designated as all<br />
times outside the Phase II period.<br />
b. Phase II: April-May and October-November. <strong>The</strong> airfield<br />
has the potential for increased numbers of migratory birds (mainly<br />
geese) transiting the area due to proximity to water and feeding<br />
sources. Heightened activity is most prevalent during the dusk and<br />
dawn time periods.<br />
6. BIRD WATCH CONDITION CODES:<br />
a. Bird Watch Condition SEVERE: Bird activity on or<br />
immediately above the active runway or other specific location<br />
representing high potential for strikes. Supervisors and aircrews<br />
must thoroughly evaluate mission need before conducting<br />
operations in areas under condition SEVERE.<br />
b. Bird Watch Condition MODERATE. Bird activity near the<br />
active runway or other specific location representing increased<br />
potential for strikes. BWC moderate requires increased vigilance<br />
by all agencies and supervisors, and caution by aircrews.<br />
c. Bird Watch Condition LOW. Bird activity on and around<br />
the airfield representing low potential for strikes.<br />

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