a. APPROPRIATE TRAINING BOUNDARIES: 100 NM radius
around Campbell Army Airfield (KHOP) (N36°40.3’ W87°29.6’).
Floor: Surface. Ceiling: 500’ AGL.
b. TIME HAZARDOUS ACTIVITY: Sunset to sunrise in VFR
conditions, seven (7) days a week. In view of the above, it is
strongly advised that transiting pilots operating in VFR conditions
contact Campbell (KHOP) Approach Control, prior to entering
above area, in order to obtain reduced lighting helicopter traffic
information and suggested best routing through the area. Pilots
unable to make such contact or not desirous of this service are
strongly advised to cross above 500’ AGL.

1. NAS PATUXENT RIVER (KNHK) RESTRICTED AREA
(R4002/R4005/R4006/R4008/R6609) COMPLEX SPECIAL
OPERATING PROCEDURES:
a. Due to the highly dynamic and hazardous flight
operations conducted at NAS Patuxent River (KNHK) and the NAS
Patuxent Restricted Area Complex it is required that all users be
familiar with the provisions of NASPAXRIVINST 3710.5 (series).
This publication can be obtained electronically at
https://mynavair.navair.navy.mil under Libraries and Research. A
MYNAVAIR account must be established to use this site.
b. Maintain counter-clockwise flow within the area to the
maximum extent possible to facilitate traffic de-confliction.
c. Report to controlling agency prior to commencing
dynamic maneuvers. Dynamic maneuvers are defined as
maneuvers greater than 90° heading change that will disrupt
counter-clockwise flow.
d. Report to controlling agency prior to commencing
vertical maneuvers. Vertical maneuvers are defined as maneuvers
that will result in aggressive altitude deviations of greater than +/-
3000 ft. Report should indicate final altitude in thousands of feet.
e. Aircrew should expect a response from the controlling
agency to their nearest traffic after reporting either dynamic or
vertical maneuvering.
f. Air Combat Maneuvers (ACM) and Basic Fighter
Maneuvers (BFM) shall only be conducted in exclusive use airspace
(R4005N/S, R4002, R6609, etc.).
g. Primary spin areas are the North TRIANGLE Spin area and
the South Spin area. The North Spin area should be utilized only if
the previous spin areas are unavailable.
h. Supersonic operations are permitted in R4008 above
FL300 under the following conditions:
Prior approval is granted by the Commanding Officer, NAS
Patuxent River.
Scheduled in advance.
Course Rules Brief is required within the last year. *See
paragraph i.
Sound focusing Data is obtained from
https://web/nlmof.navy.mil/paxriver under Aviation Products.
i. All Non NAWCAD aircraft/units require an annual course
rules brief prior to scheduling Restricted Area operations. Brief can
be scheduled with Patuxent ATC DSN 342-3339, C301-342-3339,
1300-2100Z++ weekdays.
UNITED STATES 3-159
j. All Non NAWCAD aircraft/units desiring to utilize the
Patuxent Restricted Area Complex must be scheduled through
Central Schedules, M-F 1200-2100Z++. “Real Time” scheduling
M-F, 2100-0400Z++ and Sat/Sun, 1200-0400Z++ can be
accomplished with Patuxent ATC DSN 342-3339, C301-342-3339.
k. Aircraft desiring to operate during peak flight test hours
of operation (0900-1130L and 1400-1630L M-F) require a PPR
coordinated through Central Schedules. Airspace utilization during
off peak times is encouraged.
l. Aircraft flights operating outside of standard visual
formation require separate ATC squawks for each member of the
flight.

1. MERIDIAN NAS (KNMM) - Due to high density VFR student
flying training in the vicinity of Meridian NAS (KNMM), an acute
collision potential exists to unannounced transient air operations
in the following training airspace and period of student activity.
a. APPROPRIATE TRAINING BOUNDARIES - From the 294°
radial of Meridian (KNMM) VORTAC, clockwise to the 035° radial
for a radius of 85 NM from the VORTAC, excluding airways. Floor:
8000’ MSL. Ceiling: FL180.
b. TIME STUDENT ACTIVITY: Sunrise to sunset in VFR
conditions on Mondays through Fridays. In view of above, it is
strongly advised that transiting pilots operating in VFR conditions
contact Meridian (KNMM) Approach Control, prior to entering
above area, in order to obtain student traffic information and
suggested best routing through the area. Pilots unable to make
such contact or not desirous of this service are strongly advised to
cross below 8000’ MSL (avoiding airport traffic areas) or cross
above FL180.
NOTE: Pilots operating to or from Columbus AFB (KCBM),
Mississippi, and on published instrument arrival or departure
procedures are not affected.
2. COLUMBUS AFB (KCBM) - Due to high density VFR and IFR
student flying training within 25 NM of Bigbee VORTAC, an acute
collision potential exists to unannounced transient air operations
within this area from surface to 8000’ MSL, Mondays through
Fridays, sunrise to sunset, and occasionally nights and weekends.
Transiting pilots operating in VFR conditions are advised to
contact Columbus (KCBM) Approach Control prior to entering
above area in order to obtain student traffic information and
suggested best routing through the area. Pilots unable to make
such contact or not desiring this service are strongly advised to
cross the area above 10,000’ MSL.
