OAIX AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
2.23.1. Transient and Civilian ACFT. Airfield Management (AM) is the focal point for all
inbound transient or civilian ACFT. AM will provide the Control Tower with the call
sign, ACFT type and ETA of transient/civilian ACFT approved to land without a
PPR number. The Control Tower will direct transient ACFT to the most suitable
parking spot as directed by AM or Transient Alert.
2.23.2. Transient ACFT parked on Sierra and Tango Ramp shall not block out of parking
unless assisted by Transient Alert.
2.23.3. Flight Planning Procedures. Bagram Airfield uses the PPR and Air Force Central
Command (AFCENT) procedures to schedule the flow of ACFT missions to/from
Bagram Airfield. These missions include Air Mobility Division (AMD) missions (US
and Canadian C-130s), all TACC missions (C-17/C-5 and HQ AMC Commercial
Missions in GDSS) and all Civil, Civil Tender and Coalition Airlift Missions. AM has
the capability to submit flight plans and changes through the IMT System. AM does
not have the ability to fax or submit flight plans through the Host Nation. Remain
overnight (RON) PPRs are approved on a case-by-case basis and may take 24–
hours to approve.
2.23.4. Units not able to file flight plans in person may submit them to AM either via email
at BGRMBAFPPR@afghan.swa.army.mil or (318) 431–4411. Units filing flight
plans by E-mail must maintain all original flight planning forms for disposition IAW
Air Force WEB–RIMS Records Disposition Schedule (RDS). AM cannot accept
flight plans by fax as AM has no fax capability. The Army does not file flight plans
through AM for RW ACFT. Army units may use a “Ramp Tracker” accountability
process for helicopter movements. The Army shall retain any written “Ramp
Tracker” or Air Tasking Order documents for one year.
2.23.5. AM will not approve transient aircrew requests to RON until billeting has been
approved for the aircrew. AM will forward all RON requests to Air Force Billeting via
email.
2.23.6. Golf Ramp is located south of Foxtrot Ramp and is used for rotary parking only. All
users must follow painted TWY, and parking spot leads in lines to ensure
separation from other ACFT. Helicopters will not taxi or park on Foxtrot Ramp.
ACFT will enter/exit Golf Ramp from the south and must use follow-me service to
parking. This includes locally assigned aircraft when directed by TWR. Rotary
ACFT parking on Golf Ramp is only allowed 30–minutes on ground time unless
specifically approved in their PPR approval from Airfield Management. Arriving
rotary aircraft parking Golf Ramp will normally land on Golf Hammerhead and shall

OADY AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES

2.22.1. No facility exists to accept civilian ACFT. Operators of such intending to land at
Dwyer may be allowed to do so for flights “in support of theatre” providing PPR is
obtained through Airfield OPS. Military sponsors of such flights are to contact
Airfield OPS for permission to operate at DSN: 303–551–2645, SIPR: 718-551-
4645, CENTRIX: 682-551-3346 or email NIPR: centcom.bagram.usfor-
a.mbx.dwyer-airfield-operations@mail.mil CENTRIX DWYR_PPR@centcom.isaf.cmil.mil
for PPR approval.
2.22.2. Contact Yard bird Tower for ATC services prior to entering Dwyer’s Class D
airspace. SVFR arrivals and departures are coordinated through the tower upon
pilot’s request when field conditions are less than VFR minimums of 3SM visibility
and 1000ft ceilings. Aircraft must maintain SVFR minimums of 1SM (Fixed Wing),
½ SM (Rotary Wing) and remain clear of clouds.
2.22.3. Dwyer’s airspace may consist of preplanned and immediate ROZs in order to
support SUAS operations and Artillery fire missions. For details and instructions,
contact Yard bird Tower or Kingpin prior to entering or departing Dwyer’s Class D
airspace.
2.22.4. Due to the close proximity of main base areas and the operational needs of various
units associated with the airfield. It is the responsibility of each aircraft to maintain
separation of PTDS and not to overfly the following areas: LSA, FARP, UAS L/R
site, and MEDEVAC Parking/Pad, ATC Tower, and artillery gun location.
2.22.5. All helicopter operations, including repositioning between parking spots, shall be
subject to positive ATC instruction. Some clearances given by ATC to RW or UAS
ACFT will be “at pilot’s own risk” due to poor visibility of landing surfaces.
OADY AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
2.23.1. ACFT entering the STRAT Ramp shall enter via Foxtrot taxiway and exit via Golf
taxiway.
2.23.2. Do not land without clearance from Tower. Use lost communication procedures and
expect light signals from the tower if communication is lost.

RWY 13 – beginning at the RWY 13 THR extending 1 500ft.
2.10.15. A 600-foot-long fixed obstruction (6 ft. high HESCO barrier) is sited SW of the
RWY. The obstruction is 140ft from the RWY center line – with its beginning point
approximately 1 300ft beyond the displaced threshold of RWY 31 – extending 600ft
north westerly parallel to the RWY. Immediately sited behind the HESCO wall are
16ft high wooden structures.
2.10.16. Numerous unlit towers located on and near Jalalabad.
2.10.17. An aerostat is located on the airfield identified as OAD125 (Ref AIP Enroute
Section 5.1-20) Check with ATCT for current aerostat status and altitude. The
aerostat is attached to the ground by a cable/tether with flags and IR flashing lights.

d. Time.
e. An approximate number of birds.
f. Type of birds (if known).
2.23.7. Bird Watch Condition (BWC)
 Bird Watch Condition Severe: Concentration of birds on or immediately
above the active runway or other specific location that represents an immediate
hazard to safe flying operations. Thoroughly evaluate mission need before
operating in areas under condition severe. BWC severe should be downgraded
once heavy bird concentrations have been dispersed.
 Bird Watch Condition Moderate: Concentration of birds, which represent a
probable hazard to safe flying operations. This condition requires increased
vigilance by all agencies and extreme caution by aircrews.
 Bird Watch Condition Low: Normal bird activity on and above the airfield with
a low probability of a hazard.
2.23.8. ACFT suffering a bird strike within the Jalalabad ARP must immediately report it to
the ATCT and at the first possible opportunity, to their appropriate Safety

2.23.9. BASH Phase II is characterized by migratory birds and is in effect during the spring
(1 April - 15 June) and fall (1 September – 31 October) bird migration periods.
Phase II periods may be adjusted slightly from year to year due to seasonal
weather changes and migratory bird movement. Increased bird activity during
Phase II generally occurs one hour before sunset until one hour after sunrise with
peak activity between 2200-0200. However, peak activity can be affected by
weather conditions and may occur at different times.

9, exit the Apron to the closest taxiway (Lima or Kilo), cross RWY to TWY Delta
or Charlie as applicable and taxi on TWY Bravo to TWY Alpha or Charlie as
required.
3) For aircraft arriving to, or departing from the south side of the runway (Aprons 1-7), the
preferred taxi route is via taxiway Bravo to the appropriate connecting taxiway (A, C, D,
E, F, G).
4) Helicopters may be instructed to “air-taxi” at the request of, or approval from, ATC
Tower.

helicopters, fixed wing aircraft, and vehicles operating on the surface areas while
reducing operational delays for aircraft.
 A “side-step” maneuver instructs/permits the helicopter to maintain its original
flight/taxi path and move/proceed to a landing/departure surface area to the left or
right, depending on the instruction from the ATC/request from pilot, and to
continue its path forward aligned with the parallel departure/arrival surface area
while avoiding overflight or vehicle/personnel/structures; e.g. “side-stepping” from
the taxiway to the runway or vice versa. (See graphic example).

Pilots shall not initiate the “side-step” maneuver without ATC approval.
c) Helicopters arriving and/or departing TWY BRAVO and HOTEL shall comply with the
published Arrival/Departure routes and shall not overfly parked/taxiing aircraft below 300

Figure 7: Soccer Field East Traffic Pattern
G. Communication Procedures
1) Green Zone Arrivals – After established contact with Kabul ATC Tower, and being
instructed to proceed to GREEN ZONE via proper transition, pilots will be instructed
to change to PHOENIX INFORMATION Freq. 33.075FM (Primary) or 31.375FM
(secondary), when inside Green Zone.
2) Green Zone Departures – Prior to departing from an HLZ, aircraft are to transmit the
following details to PHOENIX INFORMATION: Call Sign, Aircraft Type, HLZ departing
from, and transition outbound. Aircraft are to exit the Green Zone via the correct
transition according to the active traffic flow and contact Kabul ATC Tower prior to
leaving the Green Zone boundary.
3) Helicopters unable to contact Phoenix INFORMATION due to equipment limitations
shall advise Kabul TWR and remain on aerodrome frequency while inside Green
Zone.
4) Radio Failure Procedures. The ICAO Standard Radio Communication Failure (RCF)
procedure is to be followed; SSR code 7600 shall be set.
H. Green Zone Traffic Information – Kabul ATC Tower will not provide traffic information within
GREEN ZONE. While INFORMATION PHOENIX is in operation. When IMC prevails under
SVFR, HKIA assumes the control of GREEN ZONE airspace and separation will be provided by
ATC TWR.
I. Special Visual Flight Rules (SVFR)

1) When IMC prevails, only one RW at the time under SVFR will be allowed to fly within
GREEN ZONE.
2) Approval for more than one RW is based on the transition routes diverging flight path.
(Ex: if one RW is vacating Via Blue or Orange Transition, another can be cleared to
enter via White, Purple, Yellow or Green Transitions, only if both RW are in contact
with Kabul ATC Tower).
J. Operators are required to fly approaches and departures that minimize rotor wash and
maximize clearance from obstacles at RS HQ/Soccer field HLZ (e.g., steeper approaches and
outside ground effect/ vertical takeoffs before transition on departure). Pilots shall ensure that
acft performance is available to meet these profiles and must plan payloads accordingly.

OAKN AD 2.20 LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
2.20.1. Wheeled helicopters will ground taxi to the max extent practical to avoid rotor wash
and FOD.
2.20.2. ACFT may not taxi closer than 25ft from any obstruction without wing walkers.
ACFT must be shut down and towed by wing walkers if the distance becomes less
than 10ft. It is the pilots/wing–walker’s responsibility to determine safe distances
are met.
2.20.3. Numerous firing ranges exist near KAF airfield. Upon initial contact, ATC will advise
all ACFT of known range activity and restrictions. Do not deviate south when
conducting approaches or departures SW of the airfield due to the uncontrolled
range immediately south of the RWY23 extended centerline.
NOTE: All VFR aircraft will avoid over flying Tarnak Range unless conducting
approved ops within the range.
2.20.4. ACFT C130 and larger are to use inboard engines only when taxiing on TWY Golf.
HEAVY/JUMBO ACFT use only inboard engines during taxi and minimum power
required during turns. All Jumbo ACFT (An–124, B–747 & C-5) will reduce
outboard engines to idle during taxi operations due to potential FOD hazard.
2.20.5. UAV Operations. OAKN has active UAV operations H24.
2.20.6. IL–76 and larger type ACFT are restricted from making 180 degree turns on the
RWY until past the 1000ft RWY Distance Remaining Markers for RWY 05/23.
2.20.7. Special VFR (SVFR) Procedures. Arriving FWACFT should contact Kandahar
Approach control. Arriving RWACFT should contact Kandahar Tower. Departing
ACFT should contact Kandahar Ground control for SVFR clearance.

2.20.10. All RWACFT is to avoid over flights of the Khvosh AB village located 2300m
northwest of the approach end of RWY05.
2.20.11. SAFIRE/Lasing Reporting: All aircrews must immediately report any
SAFIRE/Lasing event to the controlling ATC agency (Tower or Approach Control)
and to TOPAZ.
2.20.12. Whiskey 1 TWY is available for ACFT with Wingspans170 feet (58.6 meters) and
smaller only.

2.20.13. ACFT parking on Alpha Ramp for loading/unloading operations will only use
inboard engines at low power settings while taxiing into/out of the Alpha Ramp
parking spot due to engine overhang over unprepared surfaces.
2.20.14. USE CAUTION: Helicopter traffics transiting to and from the AAF Ramp at TWY
ALPHA. Avoid blocking the access throat due to potential hazards of rotor wash
damage.
2.20.15. No Fly Zone: Tethered balloons located at 31.4877N 065.8544E (0.98NM south of
the runway) 31.4848N 65.8420E (1.0NM south of the runway) All aerostats have no

Foxtrot to be used by aircraft up to AN-124 size. The closest obstacle is 45.7
meters from the center line.
2.20.17. CAUTION: Aircrews must avoid taxiing on to the non-load bearing shoulders of
TWY Alpha and Echo Throats to the runway. Aircraft must follow taxiway
centerlines. Taxiing on the shoulders will cause pavement damage and FOD
damage.
2.20.18. CAUTION: Ground lazing hazard exists within the Kandahar airspace including
approach and departure paths and over Kandahar City.
2.20.19. CAUTION: Civil ACFT operators note that due to the operational nature of
Kandahar Airfield, the RWY, TWYs and many of the ramps lay within explosive
safety arcs.
2.20.20. CAUTION: Aircraft are to use caution taxiing on Foxtrot particularly in near the
medical helipad. Rotary wing traffic frequently lands on Foxtrot with little warning.
2.20.21. CAUTION: Aircraft are to use caution taxiing near Whiskey and Whiskey Plus
Ramps, due to extensive rotary wing operations. Be alert to increased FOD
potential—contact ATC for assistance, if FOD is blocking Whiskey, Golf 2 or Golf
taxiways
2.20.22. CAUTION: All helicopters arriving or departing taxiway Foxtrot via the runway 23
end shall avoid overflying the weapons storage area located 300 meters from the
northeast end of taxiway Foxtrot. Expect alternative ATC instructions.

OAKN AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES
2.22.1. Protecting Precision Approach Radar (PAR) Touchdown Area
2.22.1.1. When the reported ceiling is less than 200ft or less than 0.5NM visibility, vehicles or
ACFT will not be authorized by ATC in the PAR touchdown area when an ACFT
conducting an approach or missed approach is 1NM from touchdown.
2.22.1.2. The PAR Touchdown Area is a 975m (3200ft) long by 305m (1000ft) wide
rectangle centered on the RWY centerline. It begins 60m (200ft) outward from the
landing threshold (normal or displaced) and extends 975m (3200ft) in the direction
of landing. PARRWY05/23restrictedto NAG, RS, and ITASACFT only.

2.22.1.3. ILS runway 23 autopilots coupled approaches not authorized below 425 feet AGL.
2.22.2. Communications Failure Procedures
2.22.2.1. In the event of a communications failure, Kandahar airspace shall revert to Class E
airspace. Kabul ACC shall assume control of Kandahar’s airspace upon
notification. Kandahar Tower will transmit on emergency (Guard) frequencies
(121.5 and 243.0) of the situation and advise inbound ACFT to contact tower and
outbound ACFT to contact Kabul ACC. If no contact received: civil ACFT should
switch to Afghanistan advisory frequency.
2.22.2.2. Departing ACFT (IFR/VFR). Departing ACFT should continue outbound on
previously assigned routing and contact Kabul ACC on appropriate frequency. Due
to expecting airborne and ground delays at KAF or origination airfield. For airborne
ACFT, if no positive two–way radio contact established with Kandahar ATC,
contact Kabul ACC or TOPAZ for further instructions. For ACFT on the ground at
OAKN, contact TOPAZ for updates and instructions. In the event of total radio
failure, departing ACFT coordinate with TOPAZ and provide a controlled departure
time (CDT). TOPAZ will advise ATC. ACFT should be at the appropriate Hold Line
at the CDT and flash landing light at the Tower. ATC will provide the appropriate
light gun signal for departure.
2.22.2.3. Arriving IFR ACFT. Arriving IFR ACFT should continue inbound to the airport once
established on a segment of the approach (if previously cleared **see note) and
contact Kandahar Tower for applicable traffic advisories, landing sequence, and
clearance. In the event of total radio failure, aircrew should look for a landing light
from the Tower.
NOTE: Kabul clears IFR arrivals to PAROD, where they should enter holding if
unable to establish contact with ATC. If an IFR ACFT was on vectors for a specific
approach when they lose radio contact, they should continue to the IAF, execute a
procedure turn and proceed inbound on that approach.
2.22.2.4. Arriving VFR ACFT. Arriving VFR ACFT should contact the Tower with a position
report and their intentions to be sequenced to the airport. In the event of total radio
failure, aircrew should look for a landing light from the Tower.
2.22.2.5. Prolonged Outages. A NOTAM will be disseminated for prolonged outages, and it
shall be broadcast on Kandahar ATIS (242.675 or 127.025).
2.22.3. Radar failure Procedures. In the event of radar outage, only Kandahar Approach
will continue air traffic operations as a non–radar approach control. A NOTAM will
be disseminated for prolonged outages, and it shall be broadcast on Kandahar
ATIS (242.675 or 127.025).
2.22.4. Navigation Lighting. All ACFT MUST display navigation lighting as a minimum
when operating within Kandahar’s Class D airspace.
OAKN AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

2.23.1.1. The control tower will direct transient ACFT to the most suitable parking spot as
directed by the BOC. Expect to Follow Me assistance with parking.
2.23.1.2. Transient ACFT Remaining Overnight (RON) Parking: Mike, Lima and Kilo
parking ramps shall be used as the primary transient transport ACFT parking area
unless otherwise notified by BOC or Airfield Management. TOPAZ/ATC may advise
alternate parking locations based on expected traffic. Due to limited ramp space,
RON request is to be annotated on PPRs for a reason.

2.23.1.3. AN–225/B–747–800 restriction: Kandahar Airfield cannot support AN–225 or B–

747–800 ACFT due to limited ramp space, Foreign Object Debris hazards and
excessive ACN/PCN ratio.
2.23.2. Bird/Wildlife Control: Local Bird ACFT Strike Hazard (BASH) Program
Guidelines: Kandahar Airfield lies in a dry flat desert area with minimal wildlife
activity. There are flocks of small birds that habitat in the local area. During spring
and throughout autumn, all users must exercise extra caution for increased bird
activity. Aircrews must be vigilant to report any bird activity within the vicinity of the
airfield.
2.23.3. Kandahar Airfield is an international airfield; all aircrew users must be able to both
speak and understand English in order to operate safely.
2.23.4. Non–standard taxiway centerlines on Bravo–1, Bravo–2, Charlie–1, Charlie–2 and
Delta–1. Centerlines are not located in the center of the taxiway.
2.23.5. Use Caution: Large ruts on southwest feeder taxiway to Zulu Ramp. Pilots should
avoid taxing three feet either side of the centerline.
2.23.6. RESTRICTED OPERATIONS: Runway 05/23 operations restricted from the
21stthrough the 26th of each month during specific hours, which will be published by
NOTAM. Arrivals and departures are prohibited during these hours due to critical
runway maintenance. Only exceptions are for In–Flight Emergencies and
MEDEVACS. Use Caution; men and equipment located on the runway.
2.23.7. Parking Area Closed. Southeast corner of X-ray ramp closed due to pavement
failure.

a. Maintain current speed and level and proceed via current flight plan route or as
cleared to the latest air navigation fix
b. If an ATC clearance has been given by OAMS ATC for a published instrument
approach at OAMS airfield prior to losing radio contact, the aircraft in an
emergency shall enter the published holding and commence descent as close
as possible to the EAT received. If no EAT has been given start descent as
close as possible to the EAT resulting from the current flight plan.
c. If no ATC clearance has been given by OAMS ATC for a published instrument
approach at OAMS airfield prior to losing radio contact, the pilot of the aircraft in
an emergency shall proceed to the OAMS VOR (AMS) at the last altitude/ flight
level he has been cleared too. However, he shall not fly below an altitude of
12.000 ft. due to mountainous terrain, which may cause a‘re-climb’ to 12.000 ft.
altitude! Upon reaching AMS, he shall enter the published holding and descend
within the holding to the lowest published altitude at the IAF. When reaching
that altitude, he shall commence the published instrument approach (VOR to
ILS).

d. If unable to comply with the instrument approach procedures, the pilot of the
aircraft in an emergency shall proceed to the OAMS VOR (AMS) at the last
altitude/ flight level he has been cleared too. However, he shall not fly below an
altitude of 12.000 ft. due to mountainous terrain, which may cause a ‘re-climb’
to 12.000 ft. altitude! Upon reaching AMS, he shall enter the published holding
and descend within the holding to the lowest published altitude, at the IAF.
When reaching that altitude, he shall commence the published instrument
approach (VOR to ILS).
e. If a landing cannot be performed, execute the published missed approach
procedure, re-enter the appropriate holding, climb to at least FL160 within the
holding and divert to the alternate aerodrome.
2.22.4.5. In the absence of visual signals during the approach, having ensured that the

edge of the hammerhead.
Approx. one-foot deep ditch located behind mound bordering LZ and hammerhead.
2. RWY 20 Approx. 18ft high concrete barriers line back a third of hammerhead; approx. 10ft
beyond hammerhead.
Large mounds on both East and West side of RWY 20 exceed max gradient slope.
The entire length of East side of RWY 20 has +7–11% gradient slope the first 5ft of
the maintained area.
From the approach end to 1000ft on West side of RWY 20 has a +7% gradient slope
the last 10ft of the graded area.
West side of RWY 20 midfield has a +11% gradient slope the last 20ft of the graded
area.
