3. Weather observations are taken from the ramp area SE of<br />
Base Operations. While the entire ramp is visible from this point,<br />
the horizon is not. Visibility is restricted by buildings to 1/8 NM<br />
to the WNW and 1/2 NM to the NE/SE. Air Traffic Control relays<br />
significant weather changes to base weather.<br />

4. BIRD AIRCRAFT STRIKE HAZARD (BASH) INFORMATION -<br />
For aircraft scheduling purposes plan for Phase II bird activity<br />
from 15 September-15 November. Expect moderate to heavy<br />
bird activity in all quadrants surrounding the airfield 1 hour prior<br />
to sunrise and sunset and 1 hour after sunrise and sunset. Expect<br />
increased bird activity N and S of the airfield March - May.<br />
Aircrews should exercise caution for gulls on the runway during<br />
and immediately following rainfall. Monitor ATIS or contact Tinker<br />
(KTIK) Tower to obtain the current Bird Watch Condition Code.<br />
Tinker AFB (KTIK) Bird Watch Conditions for Tinker (KTIK)- based<br />
aircraft are defined as follows:<br />
a. LOW - Bird activity on and around the airfield<br />
representing low potential for strikes.<br />
b. MODERATE - Bird activity near the active runway or other<br />
specific location representing increased potential for strikes.<br />
Condition MODERATE requires increased vigilance by all agencies<br />
and supervisors and caution by aircrews.<br />
c. SEVERE - Bird activity on or immediately above the active<br />
runway or other specific location representing high potential for<br />
strikes. Supervisors and aircrews must thoroughly evaluate mission<br />
need before conducting operations in areas under condition<br />
SEVERE.<br />
d. PHASE II Operations- A NOTAM will announce when<br />
actual Phase II operations are determined by base officials. During<br />
actual Phase II operations a minimum Bird Watch Condition of<br />
MODERATE is assumed to exist from 1 hour prior to sunrise and<br />
sunset and 1 hour after sunrise and sunset. Increased vigilance is<br />
required during Phase II activity.<br />
e. Information passed by airfield management operations<br />
(AM OPS) or control tower is an advisory only. Any decisions<br />
relative to flight operations will be made by the pilot, the<br />
appropriate unit SOF/ODO/CDO, Operations Group, or other<br />
appropriate personnel in the user's chain of command.<br />
(AFFSA FIL 05-797)<br />
5. No COMSEC material is available for issue in Base<br />
Operations. Transient aircraft should plan to arrive with sufficient<br />
material. Limited storage capability in Base Operations for Secret<br />
and Confidential classified material from transient aircrews.<br />
(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 06-220)<br />
6. B52 OPERATIONS<br />
a. Limited parking for B-52s available. B-52 depot level<br />
maintenance, towing, and chute packing is only commercially<br />
available and B-52 units will be charged. B-52 aircrews expect to<br />
assist in refueling operations.<br />
b. B52 aircraft will use only Taxiway B, C (between Building<br />
3102 and trim pad) D, E, EE, F and G. Do not use Taxiway A, C<br />
(between trim pad and Rwy 12-30), J, H, K or M. Be aware if a B52<br />
is taxied onto Taxiway C, W of Taxiway G, there will not be room<br />
to turn around. B52 aircraft landing Rwy 30 must make 180° turn<br />
on runway and back taxi to Taxiway G. B52 aircraft departing Rwy<br />
12 must back taxi on runway and make 180° turn on runway at<br />
approach end for departure. <strong>The</strong> approach ends of Rwy 12 and 30<br />
are slightly bulged to help accommodate 180° turns on runway.<br />
7. A remote controlled airstrip (Baxter Fld) is located at<br />
N35°21.0’ W97°22.1’ on the TIK R-167/5.2 DME. Baxter Fld is 3.5<br />
NM S and 6 NM E of the extended centerline Rwy 17-35. Remote<br />
controlled aircraft may be operating in the area during daylight<br />
hours from surface to 1500’ AGL.<br />
(AFFSA/AFFSA)<br />
Toledo Express (KTOL), OH<br />
1. (ANG) Limited transient parking, maintenance and<br />
passenger service. Use of ANG ramp or facilities requires<br />
coordination with ANG Operations DSN 580-4036/4084, prior to<br />
filing flight plan. Normal ANG operation is 1100-2030Z++<br />
weekdays, except holidays. Ramp closed during non-duty hours.<br />
No transient alert maintenance, expect servicing delay. Rwy 07-<br />
25 BAK-12 raised by BAK-14 device only on request from Toledo<br />
(KTOL) Tower for both arrivals and departures. Runway distance<br />
markers not lighted. Operations/Maintenance monitors 338.9<br />
(UHF squadron common).<br />
2. NOISE ABATEMENT - High density of population areas<br />
surrounding Toledo (KTOL) Express requires strictest use of<br />
Noise Abatement procedures. Departing aircraft should make<br />
use of maximum climb rate using safe procedures consistent with<br />
the aircraft flight manual and following the Tower and Departure<br />
controller’s instructions to assigned altitude. Afterburner<br />
equipped aircraft should terminate afterburner usage as soon as<br />
possible after safely airborne.<br />
(AFFSA/AFFSA)<br />
3. BIRD WATCH CONDITION (BWC) CODE INFORMATION -<br />
<strong>The</strong> local bird situation changes throughout the year with migrant<br />
birds such as geese, ducks, gulls, shorebirds, raptors, crows,<br />
doves, swallows, starlings, and blackbirds posing the highest<br />
threats during migration periods. Resident species also cause<br />
potential hazards throughout the year. Bird Watch Conditions will<br />
only be in effect when the 180th FW Supervisor of Flying (SOF),<br />
Airfield Manager, or their Representative is on duty (DSN 580-<br />
4036/4084). If the Bird Watch Condition is Moderate or Severe<br />
with a 180th FW representative on duty, the condition will be<br />
broadcast on ATIS as “Military Bird Condition Moderate/Severe”.<br />
All aircrews have the responsibility to provide time sensitive<br />
information on bird activity to the 180th FW operations callsign<br />
“Beehive” on (138.425 338.9). Restrictions apply to all military<br />
operations at Toledo (KTOL) Express. <strong>The</strong> following are Bird<br />
Watch Conditions and associated restrictions.<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. Aircrews must thoroughly<br />
evaluate mission need before operating in areas under condition<br />
SEVERE. Only full stop landings are permitted. Takeoffs are<br />
prohibited. <strong>The</strong> SOF may consider changing runways, delaying<br />
landings, diverting aircraft, changing pattern altitude, etc.<br />
b. Bird Watch Condition MODERATE. Bird activity near the<br />
active runway or other specific location representing increased<br />
potential for strikes. This condition requires increased vigilance by<br />
all agencies and extreme caution by aircrews. Flying is restricted to<br />
single ship takeoffs and single ship full stop approach and landings.<br />
Simulated flameout and chase procedures for currencies and check<br />
rides are not permitted. Pilots will avoid bird activities to the<br />
maximum extent possible.<br />
c. Bird Watch Condition LOW. Bird activity on and around<br />
the airfield representing low potential for strikes. No restrictions.<br />
Normal operations.<br />
