i. BIRD AIRCRAFT STRIKE HAZARD (BASH) -
(1) BIRD WATCH CONDITION - Immediately report all
wildlife sightings to the tower, RAPCON, Supervisor of Flying, or
Base Operations controller on duty at DSN 783-1720, C612-713-
1719/1720. Bird Watch Conditions as given by the Air Force are
not announced by tower or ATIS. The Reserve Wing will issue
Bird Watch Condition of MODERATE or SEVERE for local military
and transient aircraft. Contact the AFRC Base Ops UHF 282.675
or the ANG Base Ops UHF 324.3 for current Bird Watch
Condition. The ATIS belongs to the international airport and will
announce "use caution for migratory waterfowl in the area of
Minneapolis-St Paul Airport (KMSP)". In order to minimize the risk
of bird strikes from the expected transition of migratory birds all
military transiting area will adhere to the following AMC flight
restrictions imposed during MODERATE and SEVERE Bird Watch
Conditions:
(a) BASH PHASE II - Periods are from 15 March - 15
May and September - October due to an increase in migratory bird
activity. Peak bird activity occurs one hour before and one hour
after sunrise and sunset. During Phase II one hour prior and one
hour after sunrise and sunset, low level routes will be accomplished
no lower than 1000’ AGL. All transiting aircrews must use vigilance
from migratory waterfowl and other bird activity.
(b) BASH PHASE I - All months not designated as
Phase II. Wildlife activity is generally LOW during this period.
(c) SEVERE - Heavy activity that represents an
immediate hazard to safe flying operations.
1 Takeoffs and landings are prohibited without
the WG OG/CC (or higher) approval. Recommended guidance
during BWC SEVERE is to delay departures and arrivals until BWC
is MODERATE or less. In all cases, operational mission priority
must be weighted in determining waiver approval.
2 Only full-stop landings are permitted. The
Supervisor of Flying will consider changing runways, delaying
takeoffs and landings, diverting aircraft, etc. where military aircraft
are involved.
(d) MODERATE - Increased activity in locations that
represent a probable hazard to flight. Initial takeoffs and final
landings allowed only when departure and arrival routes avoid
identified bird activity. Additionally, local IFR/VFR traffic pattern
activity ceases.
(e) LOW - Normal bird activity on and above the
airfield with a low probability of hazard.
