FOREST FIRE SEASON - Many Military Training Routes (MTRs)<br />

traverse areas of mountainous forest and range lands. Flight crews<br />

must be alert for fire suppression activities using aircraft during the<br />

fire season. In many cases a NOTAM designating a temporary<br />

flight restriction area will be in effect for such areas when a fire<br />

exists. All aircrews should be extremely alert for such areas<br />

whether designated or not and avoid such areas by at least 5 NM.<br />

Typical fire seasons for various regions are as follows:<br />

NE <strong>US</strong> - March, April, May<br />

SE <strong>US</strong> - March, April, May, September, October, November<br />

ARIZONA/NEW MEXICO - April, May, June, July, September,<br />

October, November<br />

CALIFORNIA - May, June, July, August, September, October,<br />

November, December<br />

COLORADO/WYOMING - May, June, July, August<br />

N. DAKOTA - May, June, July, August<br />

UTAH/NEVADA/IDAHO - June, July, August, September<br />

MONTANA - June, July, August, September<br />

OREGON/WASHINGTON - June, July, August, September,<br />

October<br />

1. FORT RUCKER (KOZR) - Extreme caution is recommended<br />

when flying below 5000’ within and around A211, Fort Rucker<br />

(KOZR), due to intensive IFR and VFR student training in fixed<br />

and rotary wing aircraft. Transient pilots are advised that there is<br />

restricted visibility from the right side of instrument training<br />

aircraft in which student pilots are performing hooded flight.<br />

2. FORT RUCKER (KOZR) - CAUTION - Due to high density<br />

helicopter Night Vision Device (NVD) reduced lighting flight<br />

training, an acute collision potential exists to unannounced<br />

transient air operations in the following training airspace:<br />

a. APPROPRIATE TRAINING BOUNDARIES: 60 NM radius<br />

around Cairns AAF (KOZR) (N31°16.6’ W85°42.6’). Floor: Surface.<br />

Ceiling: 500’ AGL.<br />

b. TIME HAZARDO<strong>US</strong> ACTIVITY: Sunset to sunrise in VFR<br />

conditions, seven (7) days a week. In view of the above, it is<br />

strongly advised that transiting pilots operating in VFR conditions<br />

contact Cairns (KOZR) Approach Control, prior to entering above<br />

area, in order to obtain reduced lighting helicopter traffic<br />

information and suggested best routing through the area. Pilots<br />

unable to make such contact or not desirous of this service are<br />

strongly advised to cross above 500’ AGL.<br />

(<strong>US</strong>AASAIFC/FIL 95-27)<br />

3. Weather observation. Visibility limitations at airfield in NM<br />

are: 2.5 NE, 1.5 S, .5 SW, .5 W, 2 NW and 2 N.<br />

1. EARECKSON AS (PASY/SYA) - CAUTION - Radiation hazard<br />

area from surface to 16,000’ MSL for aircraft out to 3 NM with<br />

externally mounted electro explosives devices (EED). Possible<br />

interference with electronic equipment for aircraft out to 3 NM<br />

(military) or 62 NM (civilian) from a phase array radar antenna on<br />

the NW corner of Eareckson (PASY/SYA) (N52°44’ E174°05’) on a<br />

bearing of 250 through 028T. <strong>The</strong>se are parameters for<br />

information only. EED equipped aircraft must advise Base<br />

Operations prior to departure. Possible 30 minute arrival delay<br />

for EED aircraft.<br />

(AFFSA/AFFSA)<br />

2. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)/Remotely Operated Aircraft<br />

(ROA) - Expect UAV/ROA operations in and around R2202,<br />

R2203, R2205, R2211, Firebird Flight Landing Strip (vicinity<br />

N64º37.43’ W146º38.83’), Donnelly Flight Landing Strip (vicinity<br />

N63°50.00’ W145°43.91’), Husky Drop Zone (vicinity N64º45.97’<br />

W147º04.89’), Allen AAF and Bryant AHP. For specific<br />

information regarding UAV/ROA operating times and locations,<br />

contact Eielson Range Control (1-800-758-8723, C907-377-3125,<br />

125.3/229.4), FSS, ATC or current NOTAM.<br />

(<strong>US</strong>AASA/<strong>US</strong>AASA FIL 04-6)<br />

Arkansas<br />

1. LITTLE ROCK AFB (KLRF) - CAUTION - High density C130<br />

student flying training in the vicinity of Little Rock AFB (KLRF) and<br />

on low level Slow Routes (SR) within Arkansas; 0000-2000Z++<br />

Monday-Friday, occasionally weekends. Extensive use of All<br />

American Drop Zone, Little Rock VORTAC R-332/15 DME and<br />

Blackjack Drop Zone, Little Rock VORTAC R-009/33 DME; 0000-<br />

2000Z++ Monday-Friday, occasionally weekends. Drop zones are<br />

used for personnel and cargo, including IMC (AWADS) drops.<br />

1. GOLDSTONE - NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory<br />

operate an extremely powerful deep space communications<br />

facility at Goldstone, California within R2502N. In keeping with<br />

the latest memo of understanding between NASA and DoD on<br />

compatible operations in the Mojave Desert area to minimize all<br />

overflights and avoid low level overflights of Goldstone, the<br />

following criteria are established:<br />

a. <strong>The</strong>re will be no overflights below 15,000’ MSL of the<br />

Goldstone Complex (see chart).<br />

b. Overflights above 15,000’ MSL require coordination with<br />

the R2508 Central Coordinating Facility (CCF) DSN 527-2508.<br />

c. When Goldstone is making high power transmissions or is<br />

involved in a critical/sensitive event, the area of avoidance is<br />

increased. During these times, information can be obtained and<br />

real-time coordination accomplished by contacting the R2508<br />

Central Coordinating Facility (CCF) at DSN 527-2508 or High<br />

Desert TRACON (Call sign Joshua Approach) on UHF radio.
