Pope AFB (KPOB), NC
1. CAUTION -
a. High mid-air collision potential due to extensive
military/civilian aircraft training within 30 NM radius, surface to
6000’.
b. Initial point of 6 DME will be used for automatically
terminating an IFR clearance for an IFR aircraft returning to the
overhead.
c. Heavy and high performance aircraft check turning radius
to ensure no penetration into R5311A, B, C when departing to the
N on Rwy 23.
d. Category E approach minimums are not available due to
R5311 2.5 NM off departure end Rwy 23.
e. W departures (250°-300° off the Pope (KPOB) TACAN)
must file POB.FAY.V296.Hustn . . . ON COURSE.
f. N departures (300°-070° off the Pope (KPOB) TACAN)
must file POB.Livia (POB334009).RDU . . . ON COURSE.
g. S arrivals expect FLO . . SDZ.POB above 10,000’ MSL.
h. CAUTION-Bird Watch Condition Information:
AMC/AFRC's MODERATE and SEVERE Bird Watch Condition
hazard guidance applies to AMC/AFRC and local conditions. Air
traffic controllers, ATIS and Base Operations will keep airfield
users advised of Bird Watch Condition Code and the status of
operations, however, for other than AMC/AFRC and local aircraft,
continued operations are at their own discretion and in accordance
with their MAJCOM directives. ATIS broadcasts Bird Watch
Condition if MODERATE or SEVERE. Absence of ATIS Bird Watch
Condition indicates condition is LOW.
NOTE: An area within 25 NM radius of Pope AFB (KPOB) contains
low raptor activity during mid-day (surface to 2000’ AGL) year
round and low activity of waterfowl during dusk and dawn periods
(surface to 2000’ AGL) October-January. Phase II Bird activity
1 September-30 November.
2. GENERAL -
a. Limited fleet service. Request defleet upon arrival
through Pope Command Post.
b. Aircraft parking extremely limited. Arrangements for hot
spot, green and yellow ramp parking must be made with the 43D
WG/OSO scheduler at DSN 424-7388, fax extension 7380/81, prior
to arrival or AMCC during non-duty hours. For all other ramps,
arrangements must be made with Base Operations at DSN 424-
6508. Abnormal parking on green and yellow ramps, all aircraft
require”Follow-Me" vehicle and/or marshallers.
c. Airdrop aircraft inbound with an onboard medical
emergency will notify Pope (KPOB) Command Post for missions
supporting green ramp operations. Aircraft carrying sick/injured
UNITED STATES 3-129
personnel must keep ground personnel informed of the patient's
status, type of injury/condition, and the intended location on the
airfield for patient transfer. Yellow ramp is the preferred transfer
location due to its close proximity to Womack Army Hospital.
d. Aircraft with wingspan greater than A10s are prohibited
from taxiing past the arm/dearm area (when in use) on Taxiway A
due to lack of required wingtip clearance. Aircraft with wingspan
greater than C130 are prohibited from taxiing past the arm/dearm
area (when in use) on Taxiway M due to lack of required wingtip
clearance.

Portland Intl (KPDX), OR
1. Noise Abatement Procedures - Portland Intl (KPDX) is
situated between dense residential communities on all sides and
is therefore extremely noise sensitive.
a. Practice approaches prohibited from 1900-0700 local.
b. Practice approaches by military aircraft strongly
discouraged at all other times at all Port of Portland airports
including Portland Intl (KPDX), Portland-Hillsboro Airport (KHIO),
and Portland Troutdale Airport (KTTD).
c. No overhead patterns permitted for transient fighters.
d. Fighters performing visual straight-in approach to
Runway 28L will intercept final approach at least 8 miles from touch
down at or above 3,500' MSL, or as directed by ATC.
e. Transient fighters will not perform afterburner takeoffs
except when operationally required. If so, fighters will terminate
afterburners on takeoff no later than departure end of runway, or
300 KIAS, whichever occurs first.

2. CAUTION - BIRD WATCH CONDITION INFORMATION -
a. Portland ANGB is located on the south side of the
Portland Intl (KPDX) and is centrally located within the Willamette
Valley and the Pacific Flyway. Portland Intl (KPDX) is surrounded by
marshes, lakes, rivers, wildlife areas and wildlife refuges. Large
birds of concern include: Canada Geese, Mallards, Great-Blue
Herons, Gulls, Bald Eagles, and Red-tail Hawks pose a high risk to
aircraft at Portland Intl (KPDX). Smaller birds that fall into the
moderate and low risk categories include numerous Swallow
species, flocks of Starlings, American Kestrels, and owls. The
Portland Intl (KPDX) also has identified a significant coyote
population.
b. BASH Phase I. All months not designated as Phase II.
Wildlife activity is generally LOW during these periods except for
small bird activity during daylight hours and during mowing
operations. Portland Intl (KPDX) has a large resident population of
Great-Blue Herons. Great-Blue Heron presence can be observed
throughout the airfield proper year round with increased
abundance immediately following mowing operations.
c. BASH Phase II. November through mid April. The
potential for damaging bird strikes is highest during the migration
months and within an hour of sunrise and or sunset. During periods
of high moon illumination, waterfowl may fly well after sunset.
Historical bird strike data shows the most hazardous months for
waterfowl to be during the winter goose migration.
d. BIRD WATCH CONDITIONS (BWC) are determined by
Portland ANGB Airfield Managers and Port of Portland Wildlife
personnel. BWCs are not currently announced over ATIS. Transient
