19R-01L, due to foreign object damage potential, are restricted
to low approaches at or above 500’ AGL, initial takeoff and full
stop only; no touch and go landings authorized; aircraft landing
full stop are requested to use minimum reverse thrust to the
maximum extent possible. Touch and go operations are
permitted to Rwy 19L-01R; to the maximum extent possible, all
other operations should be to/from Rwy 19R-01L. Aircraft larger
than KC-135 on Rwy 19L-01R, 180° turns on end of runway only.
Severe ponding midfield on Rwy 01R-19L, potential for .5 to 1.5
inches standing water during heavy rain or extended periods of
rainfall. Linear ponding 10’ W of centerline, though much less
severe, also starts near the intersection with Taxiway D and
extends for 2000’ S. Ponding on Runway 01L-19R at intersection
with Taxiways Charlie and Delta. Expect .5 to 1.0 inches standing
water during heavy rain or extended periods of rainfall. Taxiway
edge lights on taxiway Charlie and the north portion of taxiway
Foxtrot are located 15 to 40 feet from the taxiway edge. Use
caution when utilizing these taxiways as the current position of
the taxiway edge lights create an illusion of a wider taxiway than
actually exists. Maintenance available for KC135 only; limited
transient maintenance (normal servicing only, expect 2 hours
delay). Holding between runways on taxiway B, C, D and E
restricted to KC-135 and smaller aircraft. Uncontrolled vehicular
traffic on ramps and taxiways. Drag chute packing not available,
deploy drag chutes only in emergency situations. Weapons/guns,
arm/dearm/safeing NOT AVAILABLE. Taxiway Alpha from
operations ramp north to Taxiway Bravo restricted to wing span
of 140’ or less. Taxiway Charlie east of Alpha and west of Foxtrot
closed, Taxiway Delta east of Alpha closed. Taxiway D, SW and
NW Hammerheads, Boeing South and East gates and South
5000' of Taxiway F not lighted, closed from sunset to sunrise and
from sunrise to sunset when visibility is less than 1 SM.
CAUTION: High foreign object damage potential on Twy F
between Twy C and D due to 12’ shoulders. TAXI RESTRICTIONS:
Aircraft with over 180’ wingspan restricted from operating on any
portion of Twy F. All four engine aircraft with wingspan over 100’,
taxi using inboards only, outboards at idle, on Twys C, D, E
(between SW HH and Boeing south gate), and F. Twy Alpha, north
of the base operations ramp abeam mass aircraft parking area
(KC-135 MAPA), restricted to aircraft with wingspan 140’ and less.
IAW ETL 01-5 to limit jet blast damage to shoulders and prevent
foreign object damage the following restriction applies. Aircraft
larger than KC-135 (B-777, B-767, B747, E-4, VC25, KC-10, C-5, C-
17, HB-52) - Pilots will use minimum thrust required for safe taxi
operations. No takeoff thrust engine runs on any taxiway and the
W runway. Takeoff thrust engine runs can be conducted, with
tower coordination, in designated maintenance areas and on
concrete ends of E runway, positioning the aircraft on centerline
and 500' S of taxiway Bravo or 500' N of taxiway Echo. Classified
storage availability, SECRET at Airfield Operations, TOP SECRET
at Command Post. 1 April - 31 October airfield grounds
maintenance (mowing, trimming) in progress 1300-2300Z++
Monday-Friday.

2. Mid-air collision potential is high in the vicinity of McConnell
AFB (KIAB), particularly within a 20 NM radius in all quadrants
below 5000’. This is because of the location of (20) airports in the
area including Cessna Acft Fld (KCEA) adjacent on the N and
Beech Aircraft Corporation located 4.5 NM NE. The location of
Cessna's (KCEA) Rwy 17-35 is 1/2 NM due N of McConnell's
(KIAB) runway and causes Cessna aircraft to overfly the N end of
the McConnell (KIAB) runways. Pilots should exercise extreme
caution for light aircraft when crossing Cessna Acft Fld (KCEA) on
approach to Rwy 19L and 19R. Col James Jabara (KAAO) is
located 7 NM N of McConnell (KIAB) beneath the final approach
course for Rwy 19R/L. Col James Jabara (KAAO) is an
uncontrolled airfield with Instrument Approach Procedures. VFR
pattern altitude is 2200’ with the downwind leg located directly
beneath the ILS final for Rwy 19R. In addition to civilian flight
training conducted at Col James Jabara (KAAO), many high
performance corporate aircraft transit this airfield. (See VFR
Supplement entry).

3. Aircraft operating in the VFR pattern to Rwy 19 will remain
at or above 3000’ MSL until past Beech Factory (KBEC) (4.5 NM
NE) extended runway centerline. Aircrews
departing/transitioning VFR on Rwy 01 will turn crosswind to
remain within 1.5 NM N of McConnell AFB (KIAB). If unable,
continue N until reaching 3000’ MSL, then turn crosswind N of
Beech Factory (KBEC). Aircraft flying W closed VFR pattern shall
remain within 1.5 NM of extended centerline of active runway.
(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 05-964)
4. Large waterfowl, including Canadian geese, frequent fields
and ponds within 3 NM radius of McConnell AFB (KIAB). Phase II
bird activity September-February. September-October nighthawk
migration occurs and may cause a temporary increase in small
bird concentrations, especially during the hours of darkness.
November-February expect increased concentrations of large
waterfowl in immediate vicinity of airfield and on final approach.
Waterfowl transit over airfield traveling between ponds
bordering on all sides of the airfield. During Phase II period
expect extensive holding delays. Pilots are encouraged to report
all bird sightings that pose a probable hazard to flying. Monitor
ATIS or contact Pilot to Dispatcher or Command Post for bird
watch condition updates. BIRD WATCH CONDITIONS:
a. LOW - Normal bird activity on and above the airfield with
a low probability of hazard.
b. MODERATE - Concentrations of 5-15 large birds
(waterfowl, raptors, gulls, etc.) or 15-30 small birds (terns,
swallows, etc.) in observable locations that present a probable
hazard to safe flying operations.
c. SEVERE - Heavy concentration of birds (more than 15
large or 30 small) on or above the runway, taxiways, infield areas,
and departure or arrival routes.
d. BASH RESTRICTIONS - Anytime bird watch condition
MODERATE, VFR/IFR patterns will be closed to all aircraft and only
initial takeoffs and final landings will be allowed provided arrival
and departure routes avoid bird activity. In addition, during Phase
II (1 September-28 February, unless extended by NOTAM) BASH
window (1 hour prior to and 1 hour after sunrise and sunset)
VFR/IFR patterns will be closed to all aircraft and only initial
takeoffs and final landings will be allowed provided arrival and
departure routes avoid bird activity. Anytime bird watch condition
SEVERE, VFR/IFR patterns will be closed to all aircraft and all
takeoffs and landings require approval of 22 OG/CC. Airborne
aircraft other than IFE or minimum fuel will divert or hold until the
bird watch condition is downgraded. Aircraft requesting to land or
takeoff in bird condition SEVERE will contact Command Post.

5. BOEING AIRCRAFT CO ARRIVALS ONLY - Boeing ramp is
OFFICIAL BUSINESS ONLY/PPR. Obtain PPR number and
request fire department follow me escort, when applicable, from
Boeing Wichita Flight Operations C316-977-5304. Annotate
Boeing PPR number in flight plan remarks section. Unannounced
arrivals expect significant delays. No transient service available.
Boeing flight line area is uncontrolled; broadcast taxi intentions
on 123.125 or 287.0 before entering or departing Boeing flight
line. BOEING WICHITA RADIO is a company communications and
flight following service with no ATC function and does not
provide ATC clearance service or handover to McConnell Ground
Control or Clearance Delivery. Contact BOEING WICHITA RADIO
15 to 30 minutes prior to landing on 123.125 or 287.0 with ETA. If
