AIP AFGHANISTAN GEN 1.2 1. 1.1 1.1.1 ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF AIRCRAFT
GEN 1.21 05 May 11
General Introduction The requirements for entry, transit and departure of aircraft engaged in international flights and the procedures for clearance of these aircraft at designated airports in Afghanistan are given for the information and guidance of operators conducting international flights. The Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation (MoTCA) is the agency responsible for Afghanistans obligations under the provisions of Annex 9 (Facilitation) of the Chicago Convention. The MoTCA is responsible for coordinating with other agencies for the development and implementation of policy and coordination of ICAO matters. At the invitation, and on behalf of the MoTCA, the Combined Forces Air Component Commander (CFACC) is the Airspace Control Authority (ACA) for Afghanistan and the Kabul Flight Information Region (FIR) effective from 0730 UTC 11 February 2002 until further notice. The procedures for flight operations detailed here are mandatory for all aircraft operators authorized to fly in the Kabul FIR. MoTCA has responsibility for all operational and safety matters relating to civil aviation into, within and from Afghanistan territory. All aircraft, except those civilian aircraft flying an ISAF/Coalition Forces contracted mission (and using an ISAF/ Coalition assigned call sign), require MoTCA approval to land at or depart from an Afghan aerodrome. MoTCA approval can be gained by submitting requests at least 24 hours in advance (in order of preference), via the AFTN line OAKBYAYX or e-mail aq.basharyar@yahoo.com. Replies from MoTCA will be sent via AFTN.

General Commercial air transport aircraft operating in Afghanistan must adhere to the provisions of ICAO Annex 6 Operation of Aircraft, Part 1 International Commercial Air Transport Aeroplanes, Chapter 6 (Aeroplanes Instruments, Equipment and Flight Documents) and Chapter 7 (Aeroplane Communication and Navigation Equipment). RNP-10 Requirements All civil and State overflight aircraft operating within the Kabul FIR must be approved by the State of the operator or the State of Registry for Required Navigation Performance 10 (RNP-10). All aircraft operating RNP-10 in Afghanistan airspace shall have at least dual carriage of navigation systems of integrity such that the navigation system does not provide misleading information. Additionally, all aircraft shall meet a lateral track keeping accuracy equal to or better than + 10 NM for 95% of the flight time in RNP-10 airspace and aircraft shall meet longitudinal track positioning accuracy of +10 NM for 95% of the flight time in RNP-10 airspace. Aircraft unable to meet the minimum navigational requirements for RNP-10 will not be permitted to operate IFR within the Kabul FIR. Due to the present nature of Afghanistan airspace, before entering RNP-10 airspace, the aircrafts position should be checked as accurately as possible by using external Navigation Aids (NAVAIDS). This may require distance measuring equipment (DME) and/or DME/VHF Omni-directional Range (VOR) checks to determine navigation system errors through displayed and actual positions. If the system is updated, the proper procedures should be followed with the aid of a prepared checklist. Transponder Operation All aircraft operating in the Kabul FIR shall be equipped with serviceable pressure altitude reporting transponders. Operators shall ensure Mode C is turned on at all times and advise air traffic control of any malfunctions. All aircraft will ensure their transponder is set to the assigned code provided by air traffic control for civil operators, the Air Tasking Order for military operators, when applicable, or AMCC for ISAF operators. VFR aircraft shall set code 1200 unless assigned a discrete code by air traffic control. All aircraft overflying the Kabul FIR shall squawk the previous ACC assigned Mode 3A code or 1200 unless instructed to change or requested and approved to change by Turkmenistan ATC. Aircraft departing Turkmenabat FIR will remain on their last assigned Mode 3/A SSR until after exiting the Turkmenabat FIR. ACA reserves the right to deny aircraft with inoperable transponders access to Kabul FIR. Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) Requirements All civilian aircraft operating at or above FL 240 must have TCAS. Procedures for dealing with TCAS/ACAS Alerts and Warnings are contained in Procedures for Air Navigation Services Aircraft Operations (PANS OPS, ICAO Doc 8168), Part 3, Section 3, Chapter 3.

A navigation specification based on area navigation that includes the requirement for performance monitoring and alerting, designated by the prefix RNP, e.g. RNP 4, RNP APCH. RNAV Specification. A navigation specification based on area navigation that does not include the requirement for performance monitoring and alerting, designated by the prefix RNAV, e.g. RNAV 5, RNAV 1. Note: The Performancebased Navigation Manual (Doc 9613), Volume II, contains detailed guidance on navigation specifications. Night: That period of time between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil twilight. Non-Directional Beacon (NDB): A special radio station, the emissions of which are intended to enable a mobile station to determine its radio bearing or direction with reference to that special radio station. NOTAM: A notice distributed by means of telecommunication containing information concerning the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential to personnel concerned with flight operations. Operator: A person, organization or enterprise engaged in or offering to engage in aircraft operation. Operations Manual: A manual provided by an operator for the use and guidance of its operations staff, containing instructions as to the conduct of flight operations; including the responsibilities of its operations staff. Overshoot Shear: A wind shear occurrence which produces an INITIAL effect of overshooting the desired approach path and/or increasing airspeed. Parking Area: A specially prepared or selected part of an aerodrome within which aircraft may be parked. Pavement Classification Number (PCN): A number expressing the bearing strength of a pavement for unrestricted operations. Preferred Runway: A runway nominated by ATC or listed in the AIP as the most suitable for the prevailing wind, surface conditions or noise sensitive areas in the proximity of the aerodrome. Primary Means Navigation System: A navigation system that, for a given operation or phase of flight, must meet accuracy and integrity requirements, but need not meet full availability and continuity of service requirements. Safety is achieved by either limiting flights to specific time periods, or through appropriate procedural restrictions and operational requirements. Procedural Service: Term used to indicate that information derived from an ATS surveillance system is not required for the provision of ATS. Procedure Altitude/Height: A specified altitude/height flown at or above the minimum altitude/height, and established to accommodate a stabilized descent at a prescribed descent gradient/angle in the intermediate/final approach segment. Prohibited Area: An airspace of defined dimensions, above the land areas or territorial waters of a State, within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited. Designation is appropriate only for reasons of defence. QNH Altimeter Setting: That pressure setting which, when placed on the pressure setting sub-scale of a sensitive altimeter of an aircraft located at the reference point of an aerodrome, will cause the altimeter to indicate the vertical displacement of the reference point above mean sea level. Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM): The vertical separation minimum of 1000ft between FL290 and FL410 inclusive. Reporting Point: A specified geographical location in relation to which the position of an aircraft can be reported.

GEN 2.2-8 05 May 11
Required Navigation Performance (RNP): A statement of the navigation performance necessary for operation within a defined airspace. RNP Type: A containment value expressed as a distance in nautical miles from the intended position within which flights would be for at least 95 per cent of the total flying time. Restricted Area: An airspace of defined dimensions above the land areas or territorial waters of a State, within which the flight of aircraft is restricted in accordance with certain specified conditions. Route: A way to be taken in flying from a departure to a destination aerodrome, specified in terms of track and distance for each route segment. Runway (RWY): A defined rectangular area on a land aerodrome prepared for the landing and takeoff of aircraft. Runway-Holding Position: A designated position intended to protect a runway, an obstacle limitation surface, or an ILS critical/sensitive area at which taxiing aircraft and vehicles must stop and hold, unless otherwise authorized by the aerodrome control tower. Note: In radiotelephony phraseologies, the expression holding point is used to designate the runwayholding position. Runway Number: The runway identification associated with the runway direction end. Runway Strip: The defined area, including the runway (and stop way if provided), intended both to reduce the risk of damage to aircraft inadvertently running off the runway and to protect aircraft flying over it during take-off, landing or missed approach. Search and Rescue (SAR): The act of finding and returning to safety, aircraft and persons involved in an emergency phase. Segment Minimum Safe Altitude: The lowest altitude at which the minimum obstacle clearance is provided. Significant Weather: Any weather phenomenon which might affect flight visibility or present a hazard to an aircraft. Sole Means Navigation System: A navigation system that, for a given phase of flight, must allow the aircraft to meet all four navigation system performance requirements accuracy, integrity, availability and continuity of service. SSR Code: The number assigned to a particular multiple-pulse reply signal transmitted by a transponder in Mode A or Mode C. Standard Instrument Departure (SID): A designated IFR departure route linking the aerodrome or a specified runway of the aerodrome with a specified significant point, normally on a designated ATS route, at which the en route phase of a flight commences. Standard Pressure: The pressure of 1013.2HPA which, if set upon the pressure sub-scale of a sensitive altimeter, will cause the latter to read zero when at mean sea level in a standard atmosphere. Stop way: A defined rectangular area on the ground at the end of the take-off run available prepared as a suitable area in which an aircraft can be stopped in the case of an abandoned take-off. Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN): An ultra-high frequency navigation aid which provides a continuous indication of bearing and slant range, in nautical miles, to the selected ground station. Taxiway (TWY): A defined path on a land aerodrome established for the taxiing of aircraft and intended to provide a link between one part of the aerodrome and another. Terminal Area (TMA): A control area normally established at the confluence of ATS Routes in the vicinity of one or more major aerodromes. Terrain Clearance: The vertical displacement of an aircrafts flight path from the terrain. Threshold: The beginning of that portion of the runway usable for landing. Threshold Crossing Height: The height of the ILS glide path at the threshold.

GEN 2.2-9 05 May 11
Track: The projection on the earths surface of the path of an aircraft, the direction of which path at any point is usually expressed in degrees from North (true, magnetic or grid). Transition Altitude: The altitude at or below which the vertical position of an aircraft is controlled by reference to altitudes. Transition Layer: The airspace between the transition altitude and the transition level. Transition Level: The lowest flight level available for use above the transition altitude. Transitional Surface: An inclined plane associated with the runway strip and the approach surfaces. Transponder: A receiver/transmitter which will generate a reply signal upon proper interrogation; the interrogation and reply being on different frequencies. Undershoot Shear: A wind shear occurrence which produces an INITIAL effect of undershooting the desired approach path and/or decreasing air speed.

Vectoring: Provision of navigational guidance to aircraft in the form of specific headings, based on the use of an ATS surveillance system. VHF Omni-directional Radio Range (VOR): A VHF radio navigational aid which provides a continuous indication of bearing from the selected VOR ground station. Visibility: Visibility for aeronautical purposes is the greater of: a. b. the greatest distance at which a black object of suitable dimensions, situated near the ground, can be seen and recognized when observed against a bright background; or the greatest distance at which lights in the vicinity of 1 000 candelas can be seen and identified against an unlit background.
Visual (ATC usage): Used by ATC to instruct a pilot to see and avoid obstacles while conducting flight below the MVA or MSA/LSALT. Visual (Pilot usage): Used by a pilot to indicate acceptance of responsibility to see and avoid obstacles while operating below the MVA or MSA/LSALT. Visual Approach Slope Indicator System (VASIS): A system of lights so arranged as to provide visual information to pilots on approach of their position in relation to the optimum approach slope for a particular runway. Vs1g means the one-g stall speed at which the aircraft can develop a lift force (normal to the flight path) equal to its weight. Way-point: A specified geographical location used to define an area navigation route or the flight path of an aircraft employing area navigation. Way-points are identified as either: a. b. Fly-by Way-point: A way-point which requires turn anticipation to allow tangential interception of the next segment of a route or procedure, or Flyover Way-point: A way-point at which a turn is initiated in order to join the next segment of a route or procedure.

Aeronautical Information Publication and amendment service. The AIP is the overarching aviation document intended primarily to satisfy international requirements for the exchange of permanent aeronautical information and long duration temporary changes essential for safe and efficient air navigation. The Afghanistan AIP is published in one volume. The AIP is published in an electronic format as a Portable Document Format (.pdf) file, in English only, for use in international and domestic operation, whether the flight is a commercial or private one. The AIP is amended by the publication of a full edition AIP in accordance with a 56 day AIRAC cycle. A brief description of the references affected by the publication of a full edition AIP will be provided in the form of a Summary of Changes. Changes of note or significance are included; correction of editorial errors will not be included. A checklist of AIP pages containing page number/chart title and the publication or effective date (day, month by name, and year) of the information is reissued with each edition. Supplement to the AIP (AIP SUP). Temporary changes of long duration (three months or longer) and information of short duration which contains extensive text and/or graphics shall be published as AIP Supplements. Aeronautical Information Circular (AIC). Contain information on the long-term forecast of any major change in legislation, regulation, procedures or facilities. This includes: a. b.

AIC are issued in one series and each AIC is numbered consecutively on a calendar year basis. The year, indicated by two digits, is a part of the serial number of the AIC, e.g. AIC 1/04. A checklist of AIC currently in force is issued as an AIC twice each year.
4. 4.1
NOTAM and Pre-flight Information Bulletins (PIB) NOTAMs contain information concerning the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which it is essential for personnel concerned with flight operations. The text of each NOTAM contains the information in the order shown in the ICAO NOTAMs format, and is composed of the significations/uniform abbreviated phraseology assigned to the ICAO NOTAM Code. This is complemented by ICAO abbreviations, indicators, identifiers, designators, call signs, frequencies, figures and plain language. NOTAM are originated and issued for Kabul FIR and are published. Each pilot in command, Civil Air Carrier/Operator is responsible for ensuring current NOTAMs are reviewed.

Differences to these provisions are detailed at GEN 1.7. Area of Responsibility Air traffic services are provided for the entire Kabul FIR. Types of Air Traffic Services A combination of coalition military, military contractor and civilian air traffic service workforce provides the following types of air traffic services in Afghanistan: Aerodrome Control Service is provided to aerodrome traffic within an airfields CTR/ATZ as defined in ENR 2.1.1.1. The control function in respect of aerodrome and other traffic operating on the surface outside the landing area in use may be provided separately and is termed Surface Movement Control. Approach/Departure Control Service is provided to flights within an airfields CTA/TMA as defined in ENR 2.1.1.1. Approach/departure control service is provided until the arriving flights become aerodrome traffic and to departing flights from the time they cease to be aerodrome traffic until they climb independently of approaching flights or aircraft departing on other routes. The control function concerned with departing traffic when separately established is termed Departure Control, the remaining function then being termed Approach Control. Approach/Departure control service will be provided jointly with aerodrome control service, unless specified otherwise in En-route Supplement. Area Control Service is provided to flights operating in a control area when not provided with aerodrome or approach control service. En-route Procedural (non- ATC Surveillance System) service is provided by the Kabul ACC to aircraft operating on Kabul FIR high and low structure airways. Air Traffic Surveillance Service is an ATC Surveillance service that may include the following: a. ATC Surveillance Service provides positive traffic separation (except between VFR flights in VMC in Class D and E airspace) and the monitoring of aircraft navigation, to identified traffic in controlled airspace. Final Approach Service provides a precision or surveillance radar service for final approach. Emergency Service provides navigation assistance to aircraft in distress or experiencing navigational difficulties.

GEN 3.32 05 May 11
Flight Information Service (FIS) is a non-ATC Surveillance System service provided either separately, or in conjunction with other services, for the purpose of supplying information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flight. Provision of the service includes information about weather, changes of serviceability of facilities, conditions at aerodromes and any other information pertinent to safety. This service does not provide separation or sequencing to aircraft. The following applies to a FIS: a. If in ATC Surveillance System coverage, the controller may attempt to identify the flight for monitoring and coordination purposes only. Such identification does not imply that an ATC Surveillance service is being provided or that the controller will continuously monitor the flight. Where a controller suspects, from whatever source, that a flight is in dangerous proximity to another aircraft, a warning is to be issued to the pilot. It is accepted that this information may be incomplete and the controller cannot assume responsibility for its issuance at all times or for its accuracy. Ultimate responsibility for aircraft and terrain avoidance rests with the pilot in command.
b.
c. 4. 4.1
Coordination between the Operator and Air Traffic Services Coordination between the operator and traffic services is affected in accordance with 2.15 of ICAO Annex 11 and 11.2.1.1.4 and 11.2.1.1.5 of Chapter 11 of the Procedures for Air Navigation Services - Air Traffic Management (Doc 4444 ATM/501). Minimum Flight Altitude Minimum flight altitude is determined by adding 2 000 feet on top of terrain or obstacle heights taken in the vicinity of the area. That altitude is then rounded up to the next hundred-foot value. For example, an obstacle exists at 6 775 feet. Add 2 000 feet to clear the obstacle, which would make the Minimum Obstacle Clearance Altitude (MOCA) 8 800 feet. Rounded up to the next thousand-foot value equals a minimum IFR flight altitude of 9 000 feet. ATS Units Address List Not available at this time.

All non-military aircraft operating in the Kabul FIR must file a flight plan. If a stopover at an uncontrolled field is planned, the follow-on flight plan must be filed in advance at an appropriate location. Compliance with ICAO procedures at uncontrolled fields is mandatory to ensure separation from military operations.
AIP AFGHANISTAN ENR 1.2 1. 1.1 VISUAL FLIGHT RULES
ENR 1.21 05 May 11
Visual Meteorological Conditions IAW Rules of The Air Annex 2 to The Convention on International Civil Aviation, except when operating as a special VFR flight, VFR flights shall be conducted so that the aircraft is flown in conditions of visibility and distance from clouds equal to or greater than those specified in the following table:
Airspace Classification A*, C, D, E G ABOVE 900m (3 000ft) AMSL or above 300m (1 000ft) above terrain, whichever is the higher Distance from cloud Flight visibility 1 500m horizontally 300m (1 000ft) vertically 8km above 3 050m (10 000ft) AMSL 5km below 3 050m (10 000ft) AMSL At and below 900m (3 000ft) AMSL or 300m (1 000ft) above terrain, whichever is the higher Clear of cloud and in sight of the surface 5km
* The VMC minima in Class A airspace are included for guidance to pilots and do not imply acceptance of VFR flights in Class A airspace.
1.2
When so prescribed by the appropriate ATS authority: a. (i) (ii) Lower flight visibilities to 1 500m may be permitted for flights operating: At speeds that, in the prevailing visibility, will give adequate opportunity to observe other traffic or any obstacles in time to avoid collision; or In circumstances in which the probability of encounters with other traffic would normally be low (e.g., in areas of low volume traffic and for aerial work at low levels).
1.2.1
Helicopters may be permitted to operate in less than 1 500m flight visibility, if manoeuvred at a speed that will give adequate opportunity to observe other traffic or any obstacles in time to avoid collision. Except when a clearance is obtained from an air traffic control unit, VFR flights shall not take off or land at an aerodrome within a control zone, or enter the aerodrome traffic zone or traffic pattern: a. b. c. When the ceiling is less than 450m (1500ft); or When the ground visibility is less than 5km. At night, if a civil aircraft.

2. 2.1
Altitude and Airspace Restrictions All VFR aircraft will fly at FLXX5. Civil VFR flights shall not be operated above FL235. Military aircraft may operate VFR up to FL295 within TMA airspace and within Class E Air Route airspace when crossing that Air Route. There are no altitude restrictions on Military VFR aircraft within Class G airspace. Military VFR aircraft may cross Class A Air Routes subject to ATC clearance.
AIP AFGHANISTAN 2.2
ENR 1.22 05 May 11
All civilian VFR flights must adhere to the published air route corridors in order to segregate from military activity. Compliance with these procedures does not relieve pilots of own responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft or for maintaining own safe terrain/obstacle clearance at all times. Except when necessary for take-off, landing or by permission of an appropriate authority, a VFR flight shall not be flown: a. Over the congested areas of cities, towns or settlements or over an open air assembly of persons at a height less than 1000ft (300m) above the highest obstacle within a radius of 600m of the aircraft; Elsewhere, at a height less than 500ft (150m) above the ground or water.
2.3
b. 2.4
Civil aircraft operating in class G airspace shall keep to the minimum tracking possible. This includes departing and joining the Air Routes at 90 degrees from the aerodrome. Air Traffic Services VFR flights shall comply with the provisions of air traffic control instructions: a. b. c. When operated within Class C and D airspace; When forming part of aerodrome traffic at controlled aerodromes; or A VFR flight operating within or into designated controlled airspace, shall maintain continuous air-ground voice communication watch on the appropriate communication channel and report its position as necessary to the air traffic services unit providing air traffic services.
3. 3.1
3.2
All VFR aircraft must receive a clearance prior to entering Class C and Class D airspace. Flight advisory with Kabul ACC should not be construed as a clearance to enter Class C or Class D airspace. VFR Flight in Class E airspace Prior to entering Class E airspace, all VFR aircraft (military and civil) shall establish two-way communications with either an ATC or TAC C2 agency. This includes prior to crossing Class E Air Routes. VFR aircraft unable to comply shall remain clear of Class E airspace until communications can be established. VFR Flight in Class G airspace Prior to VFR flight through Class G airspace, aircrew must communicate with an Air Traffic Control (ATC) and/or Military Tactical Command and Control (TAC C2) agency. All VFR aircraft must monitor Guard (UHF/243.0 preferably, 121.5 if VHF capable only) in addition to CTAF 125.2, or as directed otherwise. TAC C2 will attempt to establish two-way communication with aircrew on these frequencies if deviation from the current flight path is required for de-confliction. ATC will provide VFR aircraft departing from controlled airfields within Afghanistan a traffic and airspace de-confliction service within the airspace surrounding the aerodrome. On entering Class G airspace, VFR aircraft will then be instructed to contact a TAC C2 agency or broadcast on CTAF 125.2. VFR aircraft departing from uncontrolled airfields are to contact TAC C2 for traffic and airspace avoidance instructions prior to departure or immediately on becoming airborne. If TAC C2 cannot be contacted due to radio coverage or VHF only, aircrews are to broadcast intentions on CTAF 125.2.

Aircraft on Class E airways in contact with Kabul Area Control Centre (KACC) that are required to leave the airway to reach their destination will, workload permitting, receive traffic and airspace avoidance advice from KACC prior to leaving the airway. When leaving the airway, KACC will instruct the aircraft to contact TAC C2 or broadcast on CTAF 125.2 for further traffic and airspace avoidance advice. Due to line of sight limitations (both UHF/VHF), two-way communication with TAC C2 may not be possible. Aircrews are still expected to transmit in the blind and maintain the TAC C2 frequency for the duration of flight in Class G airspace. Flight within Class G airspace under these circumstances is of high risk, therefore aircrew are maintain an increased level of see and avoid and continue flight with due regard. Aircrew can contact TAC C2 in Afghanistan on the following frequencies:

If TAC C2 is unable to provide these services due to limited radar coverage, aircrew will be advised that TAC C2 has negative radar contact. TAC C2 will then direct aircrew to proceed at your own discretion while providing restricted airspace advice. Aircrew may be asked to respond to additional position requests. If TAC C2 is unable to provide these services due to limited radio coverage, TAC C2 will attempt to establish contact with the aircraft on the TAC C2 frequency, CTAF 125.2 and/or Guard. Additionally TAC C2 may use other aircraft in the vicinity to relay avoidance advice. Change to Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) An aircraft operating VFR that wishes to change to IFR shall: a. b. 6.2 If a flight plan was submitted, communicate the necessary changes to be effected to its current flight plan, or Submit a flight plan to the appropriate air traffic services unit and obtain a clearance prior to proceeding IFR when in controlled airspace.

AIP AFGHANISTAN ENR 1.5 1. 1.1 Holding
ENR 1.51 05 May 11 HOLDING, APPROACH AND DEPARTURE PROCEDURES
En-route holding will be used in Kabul FIR when needed to expedite the flow of traffic. If holding is issued, all aircraft shall fly 10-mile legs and conduct right turns. An expect further clearance time (EFC) shall be issued by ATC at least 5 minutes prior to the aircrafts estimated time to the clearance limit. If no delay is expected at the clearance limit, air traffic control shall advise the pilot no delay expected. Arriving Flights Bagram, Kabul, and Kandahar Airfields. All arriving aircraft will contact ATC for air traffic approach service prior to entering Class C airspace. If no contact is made with ATC prior to entering the Class C, the pilot will discontinue the approach and either hold at pilots discretion outside the Class C and continue to attempt to contact ATC or divert to alternate airfield. If diverting is not possible declare an emergency and apply loss of communication procedures as per ENR 1.6.2 Radio Failure Procedures. All arriving aircraft must remain above FL160 until 20NM from Kabul Airfield unless under Bagram Arrival Control, Kabul Arrival Control or Kabul Approach Control and approved for descent below FL 160. All Other Airfields. All civil aircraft capable of flight above FL160, must track to airfields not serviced by an air route via the air route that passes closest to the destination airfield. Once abeam the destination airfield, aircraft must depart Class E airspace at 90 degrees to the air route, remaining at the assigned altitude until established inside Class G airspace. Pilots must cancel IFR prior to leaving Class E airspace and avoid any active military airspace as notified by ATC. Pilots will cancel their IFR clearance prior to leaving Class E airspace when inbound to airports that do not have approach procedures. Common safety frequency VHF 125.2MHz for all uncontrolled airfields in Afghanistan. Visual Approach Procedure. Aircraft requesting a visual approach must meet the following criteria: a. b. c. d. The aircraft is within 30NM of the destination; and The pilot has established, and can continue flight to the aerodrome with continuous visual reference to the ground or water; and At night, the pilot reports the aerodrome in sight; and Visual meteorological conditions exist at the destination aerodrome; or the pilot reports at the initial approach level or at any time during the instrument approach procedure that the meteorological conditions are such that a visual approach and landing can be completed.

At night, international HEAVY wake turbulence category aircraft shall be processed via a straight in instrument approach, such as ILS or VOR/DME approach. When a straight-in instrument approach is not available or is unsuitable in prevailing conditions, international HEAVY aircraft are to conduct a straight-in visual approach via 10NM final. Departing Flights Kabul International Airport: All departing traffic must climb to at least FL160 within 20 NM of Kabul unless otherwise directed by Kabul Approach Control. Bagram and Kandahar Airfields: Pilots will contact tower at least 10 minutes before takeoff in order that their departure can be de-conflicted from any military operations taking place in the immediate vicinity of the airfield or affecting their outbound route. All other Airfields: Contact the airfield tower, if available, at least 10 minutes before departure. Flights must squawk Mode 3/A assigned code before departure. Once airborne, contact the Kabul ACC and provide call sign, airfield departing from, flight level passing, flight level climbing to, and direction of flight. Civilian aircraft capable of flight above FL160 shall limit transit time within Class G by tracking to and joining the air route passing closest to the departure airfield. ATC will advise these aircraft of known military activities which may affect aircraft tracking. NOTE: The aforementioned procedure does not replace or negate the need for a flight plan. Operators using these procedures are still responsible for filing an ICAO flight plan and obtaining applicable diplomatic clearances. Normal ATC procedures apply outside Afghanistan.

Approval Prior to Flight Plan Submission All operators are to contact Airfield Management for prior approval to fly into destinations within Afghanistan via: http://www.motca.gov.af/index.php?id=8 as well as contact the Ministry of Transportation and Civil Aviation (MoTCA) for approval to land at any civil airfield. Flight Plan Information Operators should use the appropriate flight plan designation specified for the RNP-10 route flown. The letter R should be placed in Block 10 of the Host Nation International Flight Plan or ICAO International Flight Plan to indicate that the aircrew has reviewed the planned route of flight to determine RNP-10 requirements and the aircraft and operator have been approved by the appropriate approval authority to operate in areas or on routes where RNP-10 is a requirement for operation. During flight planning, the flight aircrew should pay particular attention to conditions that may affect operations in RNP-10 airspace (or on RNP-10 routes). These include, but may not be limited to: a. b. c. d. e. Verifying the aircraft is approved for RNP-10 operations. Verifying the RNP-10 time limit has been accounted for. Verifying the letter R is annotated in Block 10 (Equipment) Host Nation International Flight Plan or ICAO International Flight Plan. Verifying the requirements for GPS, such as FDE, if appropriate for the operation. If required for a specific navigation system, accounting for any operating restriction related to RNP-10 approval/compliance.

AIP AFGHANISTAN ENR 1.13 1. 1.1 UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE
ENR 1.131 05 May 11
General An aircraft which is being subjected to unlawful interference shall endeavour to notify the appropriate ATS unit of this fact, any significant circumstances associated therewith and any deviation from the current flight plan necessitated by the circumstances, in order to enable the ATS unit to give priority to the aircraft and to minimize conflict with other aircraft. The following procedures are intended for use by aircraft when unlawful interference occurs and the aircraft is unable to notify an ATS unit of this fact via normal air-ground voice communications. Procedures Unless considerations aboard the aircraft dictate otherwise, the pilot-in-command should attempt to continue flying on the assigned track and at the assigned cruising level at least until notification to an ATS unit is possible or the aircraft is within ATC Surveillance System coverage. When an aircraft subjected to an act of unlawful interference must depart from its assigned track or its assigned cruising level without being able to make radiotelephony contact with ATS, the pilot-in-command should, whenever possible: Attempt to broadcast warnings on the VHF emergency frequency and other appropriate frequencies, unless considerations aboard the aircraft dictate otherwise. Other equipment such as onboard transponders, data links, etc. should also be used when it is advantageous to do so and circumstances permit; and Proceed in accordance with applicable special procedures for in-flight contingencies, where such procedures have been established and promulgated in Doc 7030 Regional Supplementary Procedures; or If no applicable regional procedures have been established, proceed at a level which differs from the cruising levels normally used for IFR flight in the area by 2 000 ft (600 M) if above FL 290 or by 1000 ft (300 M) if below FL 290. An aircraft equipped with an SSR transponder is expected to operate the transponder on Mode 3/A Code 7500 to indicate specifically that it is the subject of unlawful interference. The aircraft may operate the transponder on Mode 3/A Code 7700, to indicate that it is threatened by grave and imminent danger, and requires immediate assistance. Action to be taken by SSR-equipped aircraft which are being subjected to unlawful interference is contained in Annex 11, the PANS-ATM (Doc 4444) and the PANSOPS (Doc 8168). Action to be taken by CPDLC-equipped aircraft which are being subjected to unlawful interference is contained in Annex 11, the PANS-ATM (Doc 4444), and guidance material on the subject is contained in the Manual of Air Traffic Services Data Link Applications (Doc 9694).

The Low Air Route structure comprises of air routes as per ENR 3.1.6. These Air Routes are 20 NM wide, 10 NM either side of the designated track, from FL160 up to and including FL290. Any deviation from the civil air routes and flight levels may cause traffic conflicts with ongoing military operations. Failure to comply with these procedures may result in interception by armed coalition fighter aircraft When entering the Low Altitude Structure at or below FL290 from the North between LEMOD Waypoint on M696 clockwise to LAJAK Waypoint on M696, aircraft shall contact Kabul ACC on 118.3 VHF or 242.6 UHF. When entering Kabul ACC at or below FL 290 from the South between RIMPA Waypoint on G202 clockwise to RANAH Waypoint on V838, aircraft shall contact Kabul ACC on 120.9 VHF or 361.0 UHF. If unable to contact Kabul ACC on VHF or UHF, attempt to contact via HF frequencies 5658 or 10018. All aircraft, both IFR and VFR, must continually monitor the frequency assigned by air traffic control. 125.2MHz shall be monitored when unable to establish two way communications with the Kabul Area Control Centre (KACC) while on an Air Route. All air routes are identified by latitude and longitude references and utilize modified RNP-10 requirements. Aircraft must be capable of maintaining RNP-10 without reliance on ground based navigation aid updates in the Kabul FIR. HEAVY wake turbulence category aircraft (aircraft with a MTOW greater than 136 000 Kg) shall follow IFR procedures when transiting via Class E Air Routes. Short notice artillery fire by Coalition Forces may close portions of airways A466, N644 and A453 in vicinity of Salerno (N 3322 04 E 069 57 45). Aircraft in contact with Kabul ACC will be rerouted to avoid artillery areas when active. VFR aircraft not in contact with Kabul ACC should monitor guard frequency 121.5 or 243.0 while in the vicinity of Salerno to obtain artillery fire warning broadcasts or contact Kabul ACC for additional information.

AIP AFGHANISTAN ENR 3.2 1. UPPER ATS ROUTES
ENR 3.21 05 May 11
The High En-route Structure comprises upper air routes B466, G792, L750,N644 A466, M881, P500, G796 and UL333 (see ENR 3.2.8). The air routes are 20 NM wide, 10 NM either side of the designated track, above FL290 to FL450. Aircraft will generally be assigned standard levels according to direction between the Lowest Assignable Level (LAL) of FL310 and the Maximum Assignable Level (MAL) of FL430. From 2000 Z 2359 Z daily, the lower boundary of Class A airspace drops to above FL270, allowing a LAL of FL280, on air routes L750, N644, A466 and G796 only. All High En-route Structure over-flight aircraft must contact the Kabul ACC 10 minutes prior to entering the FIR boundary. If entering via B466/G792, L750, N644, M881, A466 or UL333, aircraft must contact Kabul ACC on 128.5 VHF. 125.2 MHz shall be monitored when unable to establish two way communications with the Kabul Area Control Centre (KACC) while on an Air Route. All air routes are identified by latitude and longitude references and utilize modified RNP10 requirements. RVSM is not authorized in the Kabul FIR. These routes are only for aircraft overflying the Kabul FIR that will not land at any underlying airfield unless an emergency aircraft under ICAO emergency procedures. Short notice artillery fire by Coalition Forces may close portions of airways A466, N644 and A453 in vicinity of Salerno (N 33 22 04 E 069 57 45). Aircraft in contact with Kabul ACC will be rerouted to avoid artillery areas when active. VFR aircraft not in contact with Kabul ACC should monitor guard frequency 121.5 or 243.0 while in the vicinity of Salerno to obtain artillery fire warning broadcasts or contact Kabul ACC for additional information. The High Air Routes with applicable minimum obstacle clearance altitude MOCA and minimum radio reception altitude (MRA) are listed in the table below.

ENR 5.11 05 May 11
All airspace in which a potential hazard to aircraft operations may exist and all areas over which the operation of civil aircraft may, for one reason or another, be restricted either temporarily or permanently, are classified according to the following three types of areas as defined by ICAO. Definitions Prohibited Area. Airspace of defined dimensions above the land areas or territorial waters of the State of Afghanistan, within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited. This term is used only when the flight of civil aircraft within the designated airspace is not permitted at any time under any circumstances. Restricted Area. Airspace of defined dimensions above the land areas or territorial waters of the State of Afghanistan, within which the flight of aircraft is restricted in accordance with certain specified conditions. This term is used whenever the flight of civil aircraft within the designated airspace is not absolutely prohibited but may be made only if specified conditions are complied with. Thus, prohibition of flight, except at certain specified times, leads to the designation of the airspace as a restricted area as would prohibition except in certain meteorological conditions. Similarly, prohibition of flight, unless special permission had been obtained, leads to the designation of a restricted area. However, conditions of flight imposed as a result of application of rules of the air or air traffic service practices or procedures (for example, compliance with minimum safe heights or with rules stemming from the establishment of controlled airspace) do not constitute conditions calling for designation as a restricted area. Danger Area. Airspace of defined dimensions within which activities dangerous to the flight of aircraft may exist at specified times. This term is used only when the potential danger to aircraft has not led to the designation of the airspace as restricted or prohibited. The effect of the creation of the danger area is to caution operators or pilots of aircraft that it is necessary for them to assess the dangers in relation to their responsibility for the safety of their aircraft. Designations The type of area involved is indicated by the nationality letters OA, then a slash (/), followed by the letter -P- for Prohibited, -R- for Restricted and -D- for Danger. Each area is numbered and a single series of numbers is used for all areas, regardless to type, to ensure that a number is never duplicated. Each number has three digits; the first digit indicates the last digit of the areas latitude, from 29 N to 38 N, the remaining two being a sequence number.

AIP AFGHANISTAN ENR 5.6 BIRD MIGRATION AND AREAS WITH SENSITIVE FAUNA 1. 1.1 2. 2.1 Introduction
ENR 5.61 05 May 11
The following information was gathered after the examination of Kabul International Airport, Kandahar, Mazar-e-Sharif, Herat, Bagram and Tarin Kots bird activities. Afghanistans Geography, Climate and Vegetation Afghanistan is located in the centre of Asia and is landlocked between Pakistan, Iran, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and China. The country is mountainous and is mostly situated above 2 000 meters altitude. The climate is continental, arid to semiarid, with a low annual precipitation (on average the yearly precipitation is 335 mm), resulting in droughts and limited fresh water availability in large parts of the country. It mainly rains and snows between October and April. The snow from the mountains feeds the rivers year round. Afghanistan has many rivers that are suitable for irrigating their valleys. The largest part of the country is dry with steppe vegetation. This part is used for grazing livestock and for growing crops that require dry conditions. The remaining areas are either too dry or too rugged for growing crops and are therefore grazed by livestock. Trees are scarce and currently present in forests (East-Afghanistan), river valleys and in orchards and built-up areas. Bird Strikes A bird strike database is missing in Afghanistan. In general, the number of bird strikes is low in the October to March period, most bird strikes occur in summer, except for the month of July, and during fall migration. Weights of the birds that were involved in the bird strikes can be categorised as follows: - Up to 50 grams: Strikes involved small birds like swallows, sparrows and larks. - Between 50 and 100 grams: Strikes involved birds like thrushes and starlings. - Between 100 and 500 grams: Strikes involved birds like waders, plovers, ducks and pigeons.
3. 3.1
4. 4.1
Birds Since Afghanistan is in the middle of the breeding (Russia) and wintering (India / Africa) ranges of many species, high bird numbers occur during spring and fall migration. Since these migrating birds have, like many juvenile birds that fledge in summer, no experience with aircraft, the most bird strikes occur in these periods. Birds that have been observed in Afghanistan: Geese. At Mazar-e-Sharif, geese (among which Graylag Goose and White-fronted goose could be identified) were found in the grass strips adjacent to the runway. Data about their numbers, arrival and departure dates, time of day visiting the airport, etc. were not recorded, but around 1 000 geese were present during the whole month of January. Geese have not been recorded at the other airfields. Birds related to water and moist soils - waterfowl, waders and plovers. Open waters and moist soils were not present at Mazar-e-Sharif and Herat. Kandahar had the most water; a kilometer long creek with adjacent marsh land (width 25 meters), 2 ponds and 1 sewage pit. The 1-hectare pond close to the runway attracted most waterfowl. Observing the birds arriving at and departing from this pond, it appeared that the following species crossed the aircraft flight paths: Black-headed gulls, Dunlins, Black-winged stilts, Night-herons and Shovelers. The other pond, creek and sewage pit had single numbers of Little-ringed plover (, Black-winged stilt, Intermediate egret, Green sandpiper and Ruff. At Tarin Kot, a few birds were present in the sewage pits: Black-winged stilts, Ruff and Lapwing. Birds never occur in the creeks of Kabul and Bagram (including Bagrams small pond), according to the local personnel. This may be due to pollution; Kabuls creek is used as a sewage outlet and Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation

ENR 5.62 05 May 11
the water of Bagrams creek and pond had a chemical colour and smelt polluted. Near the runway of Kabul, Lapwings were observed at the end of March. After the first rains migrating waterfowl showed up at Kabul. Tens of Curlews, Avocets and small plovers were present. On April, Cormorants were observed circling above Bagrams runway and then heading for the river valley. On March, White-tailed lapwings were present in the vicinity of Bagram. Gulls, ducks and other waterfowl showed up in Bagram and Kabul during rainfall in Sept - Oct and March- April (fall and spring migration season). 10s of Great Black-headed gulls even showed up at Kabul during snowfall in February. At Bagram, thousands of Demoiselle cranes have been observed in the last years passing by on route to their northern breeding grounds in March and April. These flights coincided with the aircraft flight paths. Like with the geese at Mazar-eSharif, data about the numbers of cranes, arrival and departure dates, time of day passing by, height of flight, etc. have never been recorded. Therefore, it is not known whether the Demoiselle cranes use the Ghorban valley as a stop-over site, or that they continue their flight without stopping. In other years, some Demoiselle cranes were even spotted at the airfield itself. 4.1.3 Birds of prey. Most birds of prey (raptors) hunt for living animals while a few birds, like vultures, rely on carrion (dead animals and animal parts found in garbage). A few species, like kites, feed on a mix of carrion and animals captured alive. Of all raptors, vultures are most hazardous to aircraft because of their weight and the many hours spent soaring in the air looking for carrion. According to the bird guide (Birds of South Asia), a few vulture species are inhabitants of Afghanistan. Although huge numbers of sheep and goat were grazing the steppes and semi-deserts, the number per flock was small and each flock was tended by a shepherd. It is expected that the shepherds take away the animals before dying, leaving no food for vultures and kites. At the airfields, carcasses of wild animals are rare and if present, they are eaten by Jackals and foxes. Carrion can only be found in the burn pits at Kandahar, Tarin Kot and Bagram, being meat left-overs from the restaurants. The garbage at the other airfields is transported to landfills outside the airfields. At Kandahar and Tarin Kot the burn pits were not visited by birds of prey. Only Bagrams burn pit attracted raptors; Blackeared kites were present at the burn pit early in the mornings. Black-eared kites were observed soaring at different places above the Ghorband river valley, adjacent to Bagram. Around dawn and dusk they soared up to 1 kilometer above the river valley, coinciding with the flight paths of aircraft flying over the valley. According to Bagrams personnel, the Black-eared kites are, like the Demoiselle cranes, only present in the migration periods. Other raptors that were observed at Bagram are (in single numbers) the Long-legged buzzard, Kestrel, Osprey and Shorteared Owl. At Kandahar, few raptors were observed, i.e. the Pallied harrier and Kestrel. Steppe eagles were spotted at Mazar-e-Sharif and at Herat. Other raptors at Herat were the Kestrel and the Black kite. At Kabul airport, in total 5 species of raptors were observed; Pallid harrier, Kestrel, Steppe eagle and Black-eared kites on migration. Besides the Black-eared kites, all other birds of prey were observed hunting for small animals. Passerines, partridges and pigeons. Since the vegetation of the airfields is not being grazed by sheep and goats, or being mowed (except Kabul) the vegetation at all airfields is more natural, lush and dense than the vegetation in the vicinity. For this reason, more seeds and insects are present at the airfields than in the vicinity, and thus the airfields are more attractive to birds. At each airfield, House sparrows and Tree sparrows are present. As observed at Kabul, these species reach high numbers in spring and summer, finding abundant insects, that thrive in the lush vegetation, and seeds produced by grasses and other plants. Furthermore, 10s of Barn Swallows and Crested Larks were present at each airfield, feeding on insects. The Crested lark finds insects on the ground; the Barn swallow is catching insects in the air. At Bagram, single Swifts and Alpine swifts were observed. These bird species are, like the Barn
4.1.4

ENR 5.63 05 May 11
swallow, foraging on flying insects. Bee-eaters also catch flying insects. The beeeaters didnt arrive yet from their wintering ranges, but are expected to be present at all airfields during summer. As observed at Kabul in 2007, a few hundred of Barn swallows and tens of Bee-eaters were present in July and August, attracted by the insects flying in above the vegetation. Furthermore, many other small passerines have been observed, among which are Yellow wagtail, Isabelline shrike, Blue throat, Stonechat and Red-breasted flycatcher. These species typically are not hazardous to aircraft because they rarely cross the runway. The Black francolin (both male and female) was observed at Kandahar. From the pigeon family, the Laughing dove was present at all airfields. They rarely cross the runway, since they can find enough food in the built-up areas. The Racing pigeons, kept by pigeon-fanciers in the vicinity and their feral relatives were observed crossing the runway at all airbases. 4.1.5 Species from built-up areas. House and Tree Sparrow, Racing pigeon, Laughing dove, Magpie (Pica pica) and Myna find shelter in the camp-sites at all airbases. In winter, up to 5,000 Mynas roost in various buildings and trees at Bagram. Of particular concern are the approximately 1 000 Mynas roosting in the helicopter hangars; these birds cause a lot of trouble with their droppings and noise. The nets to make the awnings of the hangars at Bagram inaccessible for the Mynas were put underneath only 90% of the awnings. The few uncovered parts were used by the Mynas to get access into the awnings. At other airfields, Mynas are, like the other birds in the built-up areas, rarely troublesome.

Transient and Civilian aircraft: Airfield Management (AM) is the focal point for all inbound transient or civilian aircraft. AM will provide the Control Tower with the call sign, aircraft type and ETA of those transient/civilian aircraft approved to land without a Prior Permission Required (PPR) number. The Control Tower will direct transient aircraft to the most suitable parking spot as directed by AM or Transient Alert. Transient wide body aircraft must not block out of parking unless assisted by Transient Alert. Flight Planning Procedures: Bagram Airfield uses the Prior Permission Required (PPR) and Air Force Central Command (AFCC) Procedures to schedule the flow of aircraft missions to/from Bagram Airfield. These missions include Air Mobility Division (AMD) missions (US and Canadian C-130s), all TACC missions (C-17/C5 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. RON PPRs are approved on a case by case basis and may take 24-hours to approve. 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 rotary wing aircraft. 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. AM will not approve transient aircrew requests to remain over night (RON) until billeting has been approved for the aircrew. AM will forward all RON requests to Air Force Billeting via e-mail.

No facility exists to accept routine civilian aircraft. Operators of such aircraft intending to use Bastion may be allowed to do so for flights in support of theatre providing PPR is obtained through idr-zimuser-681@ios003.dii-id.mod.uk. Military sponsors of such flights are to contact RAF Air Operations for permission to operate. PPRs are valid for +/- 15 mins; crews arriving outside of their allocated PPR may be refused permission to land. Due to parking limitations at Bastion, crews are to ensure they depart in accordance with their slot time in order to release the parking space for inbound aircraft. All flight procedures are to be in accordance with UK MOD JSPs, CAP774 and the Bastion Flying Order Book (FOB). The FOB can be obtained from RAF Air Ops. Helicopter operations. ATC have positive control over all helicopter movements including repositioning between helispots. Some clearance given by ATC to rotarywing will be discretionary due to poor line-of-sight from the Tower and high levels of vehicular movement around helispots. Helicopters are to request ATC permission to cross the main runways or extended centrelines. Aircraft crossing at the midpoint are to do so not below 300ft AGL. IFR and VFR Radar services are available to inbound and departing aircraft below flight level 160 out to 40 miles from the aerodrome. All services conform to JSP 552 regulations (UK). IFR services available on request. Crews should note that there will be multiple aircraft operating VFR within the CTA working other agencies due to the tactical situation. Crews recovering VFR can expect to be given vectors and height restrictions for sequencing in limited airspace. Crews should inform ATC if compliance with ATC instructions means they cannot continue their flight VFR. Crews operating VFR under ATC vectors are still responsible for terrain separation and separation against all other traffic within the CTA. IFR service available for arrivals and departures routing via DILAM with transfer to KACC. No IFR service is available eastbound on G202 after DOLAN; direct routing is available VFR with MISER. Aircraft departing Bastion to join controlled airspace at DILAM must pass Bastion Ground their requested FL, destination airport, route and exit point through Afghan Airspace and estimate for DILAM.

Inbound crews must contact call sign MISER prior to arrival on 128.6 MHz and must be in receipt of a positive clearance from ATC prior to entering the CTR. First time arrivals planning to route into Bastion are to contact Bastion ATC prior to arrival for an appropriate briefing on ATC procedures and current work in progress. Various UAV holding areas are established within the vicinity of Bastion; all aircraft are to comply with ATC instructions for de-confliction. UAV holds active H24. All crews are to request engine start on Bastion Ground VHF frequency, passing their Persons on Board in either RAMROD or clear, and outbound sector, either in TACREP or clear. Crews will be advised when to contact Bastion Tower for taxi instructions and clearances. All inbound crews are to contact Bastion Tower passing their Persons on Board in either RAMROD or clear, and inbound sector, either in TACREP or clear. No crews are to enter the CTR without permission from Bastion ATC. In the event of VHF radio failure, Bastion ATC will monitor UHF frequency 385.0MHz, call sign Bastion Tower UHF.
2.22.10 Mandatory Navigation light settings During daylight hours normal lighting is to be selected within 3NM. At night, as a minimum, covert lighting is to be selected within 7NM (CTR Boundary). Inside 3NM, normal lighting is to be switched on, however if the tactical situation dictates, then covert lighting may be maintained; crews must ensure they inform ATC prior to using covert lighting to enable deconfliction with other aircraft. 2.22.11 Types of recovery available - VFR, IFR, TACAN, Radar to Visual Straight in Approach, Radar to Overhead (Military only) and SRA (ASR). 2.22.12 When the reported visibility falls below 5 000m Low Visibility Procedures will be enforced. Fixed wing aircraft should expect to make an IFR approach. Crews will not be descended below the Terrain Safe Level until the pilot confirms he is visual with the runway and is able to continue visually. OAZI AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 2.23.1 2.23.2 2.23.3 Direct over-flights of the domestic site are restricted to Hospital HLS in/outbound only. RADHAZ from Watchman radar at 3150"53N 06413"15'E: avoidance, radius 150m, 3500ft AMSL. Numerous ROZs and airspace restrictions may be in force at any time in the vicinity of Bastion airfield. Details on ATIS or on request from MISER, Bastion App/Twr or from the ACO. Numerous aircraft types operate VFR within the CTA and at various levels on different profiles. Contact with ATC and compliance with instructions is mandatory within the Bastion CTR. Entry to the CTR may be prohibited for short periods during certain aircraft movements. Prior booking via RAF Air Ops and issue of PPR is mandatory for civil and military crews . All PPR timings are to be adhered to due to lack of available parking space. Crews arriving outside +/- 15mins of PPR could be refused landing clearance. The OAZI PPR form is available at ENR 1.9. All ATC Services are provided in accordance with JSP 552 and CAP 774. All flights into Bastion must have sufficient fuel to meet their arrival and departure times. Crews should be prepared for minimum ground times due to parking restrictions. Crews should also ensure that they have holding fuel for potential air delays due to sequencing and unforeseen circumstances and sufficient fuel to make their onward diversion airfield if required. No fuel is available routinely; fixed wing aircraft will only be refuelled in extreme circumstances. Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation

Crews may notice a discrepancy between surface wind information passed by ATC and the wind experienced between 200ft and 500ft AGL at Bastion. This typically occurs between 0100-0400(D) but may be experienced at other times. This is believed to be caused by the nocturnal jet phenomenon. The wind experienced between 200ft and 500ft AGL can be up to 30 - 40 kts different from the surface wind and can vary in direction. Should crews experience this phenomenon they should report it to ATC. Additionally, should crews request a different runway for final approach, the request should be made to ATC. Rotary hydraulic arrestor cables (RHAG) located 1 000ft from threshold. Standard configuration is de-rigged. 15mins notice required if crews require a cable to be raised.
2.23.9
2.23.10 Heavy aircraft must taxy to the threshold before making a left 180 degree turn to backtrack. This is to prevent FOD on the dispersals and because of the limited RWY width. C130 may turn 180 degrees at their discretion on the RWY. 2.23.11 RWY, TACAN, PSR and SSR scheduled maintenance 0630L-1230L (Winter), 0530L-1130L (Summer) every Saturday.

OAHR AD 2.20 LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS 2.20.1 VMC: Radio failure procedures. Aircraft experiencing radio failure will approach Herat aerodrome blind transmitting his position and intentions. Aircraft will joint mid field right hand downwind RWY36 (east), cross the extended center line, see and avoid other traffic in progress (flying and/or taxiing) and rocking wings overfly heading north the aerodrome between RWY and military compound. Obtain runway in use from the wind sock.
2.20.1.1 Pilot should continue blind transmit position reports while performing airport traffic pattern. Pilot should look for and follow TWR controller light signal indications. Steady green light indicates landing clearance. In case of no light signals from TWR, the pilot shall perform a left hand turn and repeat the sequence above, waiting a landing clearance is received. 2.20.1.2 After the second over flight, if no signal is received from the TWR, pilot is cleared to land at his own discretion and responsibility. If runway is occupied, go around procedures will be executed. 2.20.1.3 After landing, civilian aircraft shall proceed to north apron and military aircraft will proceed to south apron. 2.20.2 IMC Radio Failure Procedures. The aircraft in radio failure will maintain the last speed and assigned level, it will continue to the assigned NAVAID and it will hold untill it starts the descent.
2.20.2.1 The aircraft will start descent at the expected aproach time, and will follow an instrument aproach procedure as specified for the designed NAVAID. 2.20.2.2 If no expected approach time has been received and acknowledged, the aircraft will start descent at the estimated time of arrival derived from the flight plan. 2.20.2.3 The aircraft will land, if possible, within 30 minutes of ETA or the last received and acknowledged clearance. 2.20.2.4 When Herat APP suspects that two way radio contact has been lost with an aircraft, APP will transmit blind appropiate information, including the actions taken by Herat APP. 2.20.2.5 The transmision be carried out on the frequency which APP presumes the aircraft in radio failure may be monitoring. 2.20.2.6 Meteorological information will be included in the blind transmission and appropiate information, related to the radio failure aircraft, will be issued to other traffic. 2.20.3 2.20.4 2.20.5 All instructions from Herat TWR have to be acknowledged. Weather minima for VFR flights, within Herat CTR, are 5 Km visibility and 1 500 ft ceiling.

OAKB AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES 2.22.1 Aircraft with IFR flight plans will not be allowed to request a VFR departure, unless the IFR Flight Plan is cancelled. VFR flights not authorized for civil fixed wing aircraft, including civil aircraft contracted by ISAF, within Kabul CTR between sunset and sunrise. Start up Procedure. For IFR flights pilot may request IFR clearance from Clearance Delivery 30 minutes prior to estimated off block time (EOBT). After receiving ATIS information, pilots must request start-up clearance from Clearance Delivery/Ground Control. Start clearance will not be issued earlier than 20 minutes prior to estimated off block time (EOBT). Actual engine start shall be commenced immediately after requesting and acceptance of visual hand signals from the marshaller. ACFT requiring push-back should be ready for taxi within 4 min of EOBT. Pilots must request taxi clearance from Ground Control. Pilots should take into account taxi time to runway holding points and advise TWR of any delays in excess of 10 minutes. Taxi Procedures. All aircraft shall adhere to ATC taxi and parking instructions. All aircraft should expect Follow-Me guidance for entering apron 8. Taxiing into parking position will be assisted by marshaller. Exception from this rule is only for home based RW aircraft on Apron 8C and 8D. All aircrews should be alert for uncontrolled pedestrian and vehicle traffic at all times. Only after vacating the RWY expeditiously until the entire ACFT is clear of the RWY holding position, pilot shall immediately report RWY vacated. On instruction by TWR, contact Ground for further taxi instructions. Due to heavy Helicopter traffic on TWYs B and H, pilots may not enter these TWYs without explicit ATC clearance. Initial taxi clearance is only to holding point of the active RWY. Pilots may not cross the active RWY without specific ATC clearance. The holding positions are named after the relevant TWY. The maximum taxi speed shall not exceed 16KT. This speed shall be decreased if contamination on the surface deteriorates braking action. All aircraft shall display the aircraft lights during taxi. When circumstances preclude that no lights shall be used, the crew shall inform ATC on initial contact. All other taxiing traffic in the path of that mission shall be held apart by ATC until that specific aircraft is airborne. Minimum RWY Occupancy Time. On receipt of line up clearance, pilots should ensure commensurate with safety and standard operating procedures, that they are able to taxi to the correct position at the hold and line up on the RWY without delay. Whenever possible cockpit checks should be conducted prior to line up and any checks requiring completion while on the RWY should be kept to a minimum. Pilots should ensure that they commence take off roll ASAP after receipt of take off clearance. Intermediate Holding Positions. Intermediate holding positions are established on TWY BRAVO at GOLF intersection and on TWY HOTEL at NOVEMBER intersection. Medium and Heavy jet engine aircraft cannot taxi beyond these positions unless cleared by TWR. Helicopter Landing Sites. There are 4 helicopter landing sites (HLS), 2 on Taxiway Bravo (named B1 and B2) and 2 on Taxiway Hotel (named H1 and H2) for take-off, landing and hovering. They are located as follows: Helistrip B1 in front of East side of Apron 5A, Helistrip B2 in front of the Apron 5C entrance, Helistrip H1 to the East of Apron 8A and Helistrip H2 in front of Apron 8D.

2.20.1 2.20.2
Wheeled helicopters will ground taxi to the extent practical to avoid rotor wash and FOD. Aircraft may not taxi closer than 25 feet from any obstruction without wing-walkers. Aircraft must be shut down and towed with wing walkers if the distance becomes less than 10 ft. It is the pilots/wing-walkers responsibility to determine safe distances are met. Numerous firing ranges exist in the vicinity of KAF airfield. On initial contact, ATC will advise all aircraft of known range activity and restrictions. Aircraft commanders use caution as Tarnak Farms Multi Purpose Range Complex (OA/R 102) is a partially controlled range (see ENR 5.1.). As such, ATC may not be aware the range is in use. Use of published U.S. procedures/approaches constitutes acceptance of risk from live fire operations at OA/R 102. Do not deviate SW when conducting approaches or departures SW of the airfield. No intersection departures available for civilian HEAVY aircraft with MTOW > 136,000 Kg. These type aircraft can expect full-length departures for the runway in use. Use minimum power when taxiing on Foxtrot Taxiway turning onto Echo Taxiway due to close proximity to parked rotary wing aircraft. Aircraft C130 and larger are to use inboard engines only when taxiing on Golf Taxiway. HEAVY/JUMBO aircraft use only inboard engines during taxi and minimum power required during turns. All Jumbo aircraft (An-124, B-747 & C-5) will reduce outboard engines to idle during taxi operations due to potential FOD hazard. UAV Operations. OAKN has active UAV operations H24. During UAV operations, TWR will: a. b. provide traffic information on UAV operations to all arriving and departing aircraft; and issue instructions to ensure that visiting aircraft arrivals and departures are positively separated with UAV operations inside the CTR. This will normally be achieved using vertical or lateral separation or by repositioning of the UAV until it is evident no confliction

It begins 60m (200ft) outward from the landing threshold (normal or displaced) and extends 975m (3 200ft) in the direction of landing. 2.22.2 Radio Fail 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 Kandahars airspace upon notification. Kandahar Tower will transmit on emergency frequencies (121.5 and 243.0) of the situation and advise inbound aircraft to contact tower and outbound aircraft to contact Kabul ACC. If no contact received: civil aircraft should switch to Afghanistan advisory frequency. 2.22.2.2 Departing aircraft (IFR/VFR). Departing aircraft should continue outbound on previously assigned routing and contact Kabul ACC on appropriate frequency. Due to sporadic radio communications loss with Kandahar ATC on VHF and/or UHF, expect airborne and ground delays at KAF or origination airfield. For airborne aircraft, if no positive two-way radio contact established with Kandahar ATC, contact Kabul ACC or TOPAZ for further instructions. For aircraft on the ground at OAKN, contact TOPAZ for updates and/or instructions. In the event of total radio failure, departing aircraft coordinate with TOPAZ and provide a controlled departure time (CDT). TOPAZ will advise ATC. Aircraft 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 Aircraft. Arriving IFR aircraft should continue inbound to the airport once established on a segment of the approach (if previously cleared)** 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. **Kabul clears IFR arrivals to PAROD, where they should enter holding if unable to establish contact with ATC. If an IFR aircraft 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 Aircraft. Arriving VFR aircraft should contact the Tower with a position report and their intentions to get 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). Navigation Lighting. During the hours between sunset and sunrise, all aircraft MUST display navigation or strip lighting as minimum when operating within Kandahars Class D airspace.

If a pilot is unable to comply with ATC instructions, he must inform the controller immediately and state the reason for non-compliance. There is no radar control service for air traffic control avbl. When operating in OAMS Class D airspace, aircrews are responsible for their own terrain clearance at all times and must ensure that see and avoid of other traffic is maintained, irrespective of ATC instructions. Stationed Radar LR is only be used for means of situational awareness, not for control instructions of OAMS ATC Note: Controllers shall inform the pilots about the position of any known conflicting traffic. Pilots are responsible for maintaining separation with any other aircraft, whether or not the controller has passed traffic information. It is accepted that this information may be inaccurate and its issuance is subject to controllers workload. 2.20.3 Direct landing and take-off for helicopters at the ISAF ramp, main TWY E, F and S are prohibited due to FOD and obstacle clearance. Helicopters have to air-taxi / taxi via TWY guided by Follow-Me car. Overflight of military camps below 4000 ft AMSL is prohibited Taxi Procedures

2.22.4.4 All aircraft should avoid overflight of Mazar city and observe the Tower for a light signal. In the absence of visual signals during the approach, having ensured that the runway is clear, pilots may decide to land, at their own discretion, but must be prepared to initiate go around due to conflicting traffic or a blocked runway. If in receipt of a clearance, aircraft shall proceed in accordance with that clearance in the absence of red light and/or flares. 2.22.4.5 After landing, the aircraft shall vacate the runway, on first suitable twy ( twy S only for C130/C160 or smaller),then stop and wait for Follow-Me. 2.22.5 Aircraft experiencing NORDO whilst taxiing for departure 2.22.5.1 The aircraft shall stop, hold current position on the taxiway, expect to return to parking position, keep engines running, and wait for Follow-Me or observe light signals from TWR. 2.22.6 Aircraft experiencing NORDO when lined-up for departure 2.22.6.1 If lined-up on the runway, the aircraft shall taxi down the runway, vacate at the earliest opportunity, then stop on the taxiway, and wait for Follow-Me vehicle guidance. 2.22.7 Acknowledgement by an aircraft a. During the hours of daylight: by rocking the aircrafts wings; Note. This signal should not be expected on the base and final legs of the approach. b. During the hours of darkness: by flashing on and off twice the aircrafts landing lights or, if not so equipped, by switching on and off twice its navigation lights.

2.23.1 2.23.2 2.23.3 D 2.23.4
Due to intensive bird activity in the airport area between March and October, it is recommended to avoid low-level tactical departures (below 30ft AGL). Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are allowed to operate simultaneously with fixed wing aircraft within CTR OAMS. D In case UAS operations are in progress MAZAR ATC shall provide aircraft with information regarding the operating area, altitudes, and times of operation. Exact position reports of UASs should not be expected. ATC shall limit or deny the clearance for any UAV operation, if RW QRF, CASEVAC, MEDEVAC, EVAC operations are in progress in close vicinity of the UAV flight zone. No handling of ACFT on ISAF ramp with running engines. Prior booking via AW MES-Base OPS and issue of PPR is mandatory. All PPR timings are to be adhered due to lack of available parking space. Crews arriving outside +/- 15 MIN of PPR could be refused landing clearance. No practise approach for non-home-based ACFT except when approved by/via PPR. Due to safety reasons aircrews must ensure that flares are set to manual while on approach and departure to avoid inadvertent dispersal. All US Forces PPR requests must include fuel requirements.

OATN AD 2.20 LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS 2.20.1 UAV Operations. TK aerodrome has a high volume of UAV operations H24. UAV traffic pattern is 1 000ft AGL or 5 500ft AMSL. UAVs will coordinate for launch/recovery with TK Tower. Once UAVs begin approach all other aircraft will be directed to hold due to the position of the launch/recovery equipment and the approach path of the UAVs. TK Tower Shall. Provide traffic information on UAV operations to all arriving and departing aircraft; and issue control instructions to ensure that visiting aircraft arrivals and departures are positively separated from UAV operations inside the aerodrome. Outside the aerodrome aircraft will be given known traffic and will advise tower if deviation from flight path is required. Separation will be achieved using a combination of vertical or lateral separation or by repositioning of the UAV until it is evident that no conflict exists. UAV Strip. There is a concrete UAV launch/recovery strip that parallels the active runway on the northeast side of the runway. This strip is for UAV operations only. It may be lit at night during active launch/recovery; however aircraft need to be aware that this is not the active runway. The runway is lighted with either white or IR lighting only. UAVs. All UAV platforms will have overt lighting on when operating within 5NM of OATN. The only exception is for tactical operations when approved by TK tower. UAVs. All UAV will report to TK tower 30 minutes prior to launch. All UAV will report when climbing through 5 500ft AMSL after launch. All UAV will report when descending through 5 500ft AMSL during recovery/landing.

Do not over fly the village of TK at low level. Helicopter traffic shall not over fly any buildings, personnel, equipment or aircraft parked in the aprons. Helicopters should remain out of ground effect while moving around the airfield. Noise Abatement. West southwest of the town of Tarin Kot there have been several incidents of local populace firing at aircraft during the hours of darkness if aircraft are flying too low. No Fly Areas. Helicopters shall avoid over flight of the UAV runway located on the north side of the main runway 12/30 at all times. Helicopters shall avoid over flight of the Scaneagle UAV launch and recovery site located on top of the hill 0.2NM south east of threshold RWY 30 at all times. OATN AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES 2.22.1 2.22.2 Start clearances. Start clearances are required from TK tower for all fixed wing aircraft and helicopters at OATN. Taxi Procedures. Aircraft shall contact TK Tower prior to taxi or repositioning for instructions. Helicopters requiring air taxi will remain at an altitude that avoids ground effect (i.e. blowing dust, loose debris, etc.). The primary holding area for the FARP is Whiskey Ramp. Clearance into and FARP points will be given by the tower. Fixed wing will follow instructions given by tower. Charlie ramp taxi pattern will normally be clockwise, entry via taxiway Foxtrot, exit via taxiway Delta, unless otherwise authorized by TK tower. Helicopter Operations. Entry into the TK aerodrome shall be at 5 000ft AMSL and/or 500ft AGL or below. Contact TK Tower at 10 NM for airfield conditions and sequencing into the CTR, then contact tower again at 5NM, prior to entering the Class D airspace. Advise TK tower of Call sign, entry sector / or cardinal direction from the field, distance and intentions. Report to tower prior to crossing the extended runway centerline and / or when established on final. All helicopters are required to make approaches out of ground effect and over the active runway. Early cross-wind turns and midfield re-joins are not authorized unless instructed by TK tower to do so. Helicopter night operations. Helicopters are required to have visible anti-collision lights on when operating in the circuit area. Pilots may coordinate with TK tower to operate with covert (IR) lighting only. Helicopters operating on ramp areas by night shall have overt anti-collision lights on. Fixed Wing Operations. Contact TK Tower at 30NM with pertinent information, 10 NM, and again once established on a base leg. Entry into the pattern will be at or above 6000ft AMSL. Expect a landing Clearance on Base Leg. Departure Procedures. Avoid over flight of populated areas at low level. Do not over fly base camp below 6 000ft AMSL unless directed to by tower. In order to decrease FOD on taxiways and runways, present position departures may be approved by tower for rotary-wing aircraft when requested. Notify TK Tower once two-way has been established or 15NM outbound for frequency change. Helicopter traffic departing RWY 12 should turn crosswind between the FARP and the hill at the departure end of RWY 12 in order to avoid crossing into the heavy weapons range. Helicopter traffic departing RWY 30 may proceed on course as directed by TK tower (avoid Tarin Kot township). Helicopter traffic shall remain below 500ft AGL Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation

Home-based US helicopter parking is located on Charlie ramp (southern side of the runway). Incidental long term helicopter parking can be arranged by TK tower at either Whiskey ramp or Bravo parking (southern fixed wing apron). Transient crews must coordinate for their own ground transport or assistance from local military authorities. Helicopters requiring overnight parking are required to submit a PPR. On Whiskey ramp, helicopters which load from the rear need to park with the nose of the aircraft facing the runway. All other helicopters park with their tail to the runway. Fixed wing arrivals. Contact TK tower at 30NM with call sign, position and intentions. Expect to be given current weather and aerodrome update, traffic information and landing runway in use. Contact TK tower again at 10NM, expect traffic update and instructions for circuit entry. Enter the circuit at or above 6 000ft AMSL, expect a landing clearance and wheels check on base leg, or once established on final approach. In the event of a go-around on approach to RWY 12; due to the nature of ROZ's and heavy weapons range; all aircraft will track 118 for 16 miles to clear the range and then resume own navigation reentering TK airspace at 10 miles from the south southwest; unless otherwise instructed by TK tower. Fixed wing aircraft should expect to land RWY 12 due to the location of the heavy weapons range and small hill at the eastern end of the runway. Arrivals to RWY 30 are only possible in emergency situations if aircraft require to land RWY 30 for operational reasons. TK tower will require at least 10 minutes notice in order to gain a check fire from the heavy weapons range. Fixed wing departures. Fixed wing aircraft departing TK will establish course as directed by TK tower. If able, aircraft should expedite climb through 5500ft AMSL.

2.22.9
2.22.10 Fixed wing aircraft should expect to depart RWY 30 due to the location of the heavy weapons range and small hill at the eastern end of the runway. 2.22.11 Fixed wing night operations. Night time operations are limited to military aircraft only. 2.22.12 Fixed wing parking. All fixed wing aircraft will park in accordance with towers instructions. 2.22.13 Holding procedures. A number of situations at OATN may warrant the requirement for aircraft/helicopters being instructed to hold outside of the OATN aerodrome by TK tower. If helicopters/aircraft are instructed to hold out by TK tower, ATC shall state the sector to hold in for helicopters; or the distance (in NM) and cardinal direction from OATN for fixed wing aircraft. TK tower may state the direction of the holding pattern or orbit to be flown. In all cases it is the pilot in command who is responsible for the actual position of the orbit/holding pattern, and maintenance of terrain clearance. 2.22.14 Circuit Procedures. TK Tower will determine the number of aircraft that can safely operate in the VFR Traffic Pattern. 2.22.15 Circuit Altitude: Rotary Wing 5 000ft AMSL / 500ft AGL UAV 5 500ft AMSL / 1 000ft AGL Fixed Wing 6 000ft AMSL / 1 500ft AGL WARNING: Use extreme caution for personnel, vehicles and equipment near and around all landing and departure surfaces. Runway construction project in effect and daily changes to the runway clear zone can be expected. Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation
AIP AFGHANISTAN OATN AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND HAZARDS 2.23.1
AD 2.1-288 05 May 11
Heavy weapons range. The Tarin Kot combined weapons range OA/R 203, impact area and aerial gunnery range is located 0.5NM south east of the airfield (approximate extended centerline of RWY 12). The range should be considered HOT 24 hours per day. During daylight hours TK tower is able to order a check-fire on the range with 10 minutes notice. Weather. When the reported weather is less than basic VFR minimums, aircraft may request Special VFR clearance into or out of the TK Class D surface airspace; aircraft type permitting. When prevailing visibility is less than 1 SM and vertical visibility is less than 900ft aircraft will be denied entry into the TK Class D airspace. Transitioning Aircraft. Aircraft transitioning within 10NM of TK should establish two-way radio contact with TK tower for all pertinent traffic calls and local area advisories. Helicopter Lost Communication Procedure. When helicopter aircrew determines that they are in a lost communications scenario, the aircrew will attempt to contact TK Tower though secondary frequency and/or other aircraft with the local area. If communications link is not made, helicopter traffic will remain at or below rotary wing traffic pattern and hold 1 NM south of the runway and await a steady green light signal from TK Tower. Once light is observed, make an approach via runway 12 and park aircraft in Whiskey Ramp. Fixed wing lost communication procedure. Fixed wing aircraft suffering a loss of two-way communications should attempt to make contact with TK tower via secondary frequency and/or other aircraft in the area. If communications cannot be reestablished, fixed wing aircraft should return to their departure/diversion aerodrome. Fixed wing aircraft shall not enter the OATN circuit area without first establishing two way communications. Night Operations. Due to the close proximity of the work areas in relation to the runway aircraft need to be aware of vehicles with overt lights transiting around the perimeter of the airfield during the hours of darkness. This causes difficulty for landing/departing aircraft using aided flight. Helicopter Night Operations. Helicopters need to have overt lighting on while operation within 1/2NM of the airfield at night. Runway Lateral Clearance Zones. Lateral Clearance zones at Tarin Kot are 50 meters left/right of the RWY centerline. Beyond 50m contains many temporary and uncontrollable obstacles. There is a high vehicle traffic volume at the THR 12 along with permanent HESCO Baskets. Approaches to runway 30 are not permitted unless requested by ATC, and ATC can verify the status of the heavy weapons range. C-17 equivalent or larger aircraft are not under any circumstance allowed to land RWY 30. Airfield construction works. OATN is currently undergoing major runway construction works, these works will continue until May 2011. Check NOTAMs daily to ensure that correct declared distances and the location of any unpublished hazards are known. Expect construction vehicles, men and equipment to be operating in close proximity to the runway in use at all times during this period.

Pads A2 and A3 are available to transient aircraft, and will also be used for upload/download. Pads A4-A17 will be used by the resident US Aviation Task Force for permanent parking. Attack /Armed Reconnaissance aircraft will exit the runway at Foxtrot (F) Taxiway, proceed to Alpha Taxiway and then to their assigned parking location. When departing, Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation
AIP AFGHANISTAN
AD 2.1-289 05 May 11
Attack/Armed Reconnaissance aircraft will taxi west on Alpha (A) Taxiway to Delta (D) Taxiway and then to the runway as required. 2.23.11 FARP procedures. Tarin Kot FARP is located on the South Eastern portion of the airfield. There are four (4) refueling positions, numbered 1-4 from East to West. Pads 1 and 2 are primarily used by Attack/Armed aircraft. Pads 3-4 are primarily used by Utility/Cargo aircraft. All pads are Closed Circuit and Single Point refueling capable. There will be NO Open Port/Gravity refueling in the FARP. Pads 1 and 2 are the only authorized FARP points for refuel and rearm operations. Aircraft requiring refueling should advise TK Tower upon initial contact at 10 miles. Aircraft will contact TK FARP on frequency 62.10(CT) upon landing. The FARP is a positive control area, contact TK tower prior to movement. Aircraft are not to refuel with passengers on board. 2.23.12 FARP departures. There are three (3) authorized methods for departing TK FARP: (1) Aircraft may taxi from the FARP via Alpha and Foxtrot Taxiways to the runway or Foxtrot Helipad (preferred method if traffic allows); (2) Aircraft will depart directly to the South, power permitting; or (3) Aircraft will hover taxi from their respective FARP Point over the gravel located immediately south of the FARP, then execute a departure to the West (300), avoiding over flight of the built up area West of Charlie Ramp. 2.23.13 FARP aircraft orientation. Aircraft with refueling ports on the right side shall orient 120 or offset to the left side of the pad and orient 210. Attack/Armed Reconnaissance aircraft requiring armament will utilize Point 1 or 2 and orient 120. Aircraft with refueling ports on the left side shall orient 300 or offset to the right side of the pad and orient 210. 2.23.14 Helicopter hung ordnance or unsafe gun. If an Attack or Aero-scout helicopter has hung ordnance or an unsafe gun, aircrew shall notify TK tower on initial contact. US Attack or Aero-scout aircraft will proceed to their parking area and park on the designated HOT pads. Wait for maintenance and EOD assistance to arrive. Armed aircraft requiring jettisoning of live ammunition due to emergencies shall do so over the Tarin Kot combined weapons range after coordination with TK tower and the Base Defense Operations Centre (BDOC). 2.23.15 Scaneagle Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The Scaneagle UAV system is a catapult launched, skyhook trap recovery vehicle. Scaneagle UAV has a high tempo, 24/7 rate of effort at TK. Both fixed wing and helicopter arrivals and departures may experience delays during the launch and recovery phases of Scaneagle UAV flight. A small hill with the Scaneagle UAV launch and recovery site on top, creates an obstacle in the overshoot to RWY 12 (undershoot RWY 30). The hill elevation is 4561 feet AMSL, which is 84 feet above the elevation of threshold RWY 30 (4477ft). When fully lowered the elevation Scaneagle launch and recovery system 4581 feet AMSL, which is 104 feet above the elevation of threshold RWY 30. The maximum elevation of the Scaneagle launch and recovery system when fully extended is 4611 feet AMSL which is 134 feet above the elevation of threshold RWY 30. The obstacle is located bearing 151 degrees magnetic from the threshold of RWY 30 at 200m (656ft). The recovery system presents a potential hazard on departure or low-overshoot to RWY 12, or approach to RWY 30. Over flight of the UAV recovery site below 200ft AGL is prohibited. 2.23.16 Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP). Several IAPs have been developed for emergency use at OATN. Currently these procedures have only been flight checked in VMC by locally based flying units. It is expected that IAPs will be flight checked, authorized and published by EOY 2011.

2.23.17 MEDIVAC Helicopter Landing Site (HLS) procedures. The MEDIVAC HLS is located at the taxiway T junction adjacent to the Redskins flightline and the Role 2 hospital. Only MEDIVAC aircraft are permitted to utilize the MEDIVAC HLS. MEDIVAC helicopters should vacate the HLS as soon as practical after passenger pick-up or set-down. If the Role 2 hospital is given sufficient prior notice of an inbound MEDIVAC helicopter the HLS will be lit by four red lights. All MEDIVAC helicopters will call Tarin Kot tower if a patient on board has a change in medical status. This communication is necessary to coordinate with receiving medical unit so they can be better prepared with medical equipment and personnel to receive and care for the patient. 2.23.18 Helicopter aerial test firing. Helicopters requiring aerial test firing or weapon harmonization shall coordinate with the BDOC call sign Range Control on frequency 55.250Mhz. If unable to contact BDOC, coordination shall be completed through TK tower. Prior to firing aircrew shall conduct a thorough visual reconnaissance of the impact area to ensure that it is free of personnel, livestock, or cultural facilities. Aircraft shall monitor BDOC and TK tower frequencies at all times whilst operating on the weapons range. 2.23.19 QRF and MEDIVAC operations. All helicopters involved in QRF or MEDIVAC operations within the lateral confines of the OATN aerodrome will have priority over all other air traffic. TK tower will hold all other aircraft as necessary to clear the airspace. QRF/MEDIVAC crews should contact TK tower as soon as practical after their aircraft is powered to advise TK tower of the impending launch. QRF and MEDIVAC helicopters are a priority aircraft. 2.23.20 Helicopter maintenance test flight area. Traffic dependant, the circuit area is available for use for maintenance test flights. Alternatively, locally based helicopters may use the maintenance test flight area which is bounded by the following coordinates: N32 34.42 E 065 50.08 N32 28.02 E 065 43.39 N32 32.08 E 065 51.67 N32 30.35 E 065 41.79
2.23.21 Sling load and cargo operations. The sling load and cargo area for helicopters is located at Whiskey ramp. All arriving and departing helicopters with sling loads shall advise TK tower on first contact that they have a slung load. 2.23.22 Combat operations within the OATN AERODROME. During combat operations (or incoming IDF) within the lateral confines of the OATN aerodrome, TK tower will inform inbound and outbound aircraft. TK tower may require that aircraft hold on the ground, enter a holding pattern outside the areodrome, or be routed around the area affected by the combat operations.

AIP AFGHANISTAN 3.22.2 Common Procedures
AD 3.1-9 05 May 11
3.22.2.1 If an aircraft is instructed to hold, ATC will give direction on the sector or direction (i.e., N, NE, E, SE, etc.) to hold. Pilot will determine suitable reference to hold/orbit based on visual reference to the ground. The only authorized vertical landing areas are the Flight Landing Strip (FLS), Cargo Pad, MEDEVAC Pad, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie Pads, and operations into FOB Grizzly HLZ. All aircraft landing to the VTOL pads should make approaches to the ground, followed by ground taxi clear of the pad. Hover taxi is not authorized for wheeled aircraft over any taxiway. Skidded aircraft (i.e. OH-58, UH-1H) may hover taxi to any location on the airfield utilizing any taxiway. Do not overfly the FOB/LSAs. 3.22.2.2 Landing at Wolverine Cargo Pad. This pad is the primary landing site for cargo aircraft and passenger operations. Remain east of the FOB before turning on final for Cargo Pad heading 220 degrees or an approach from the south between ASP and Fuel Storage area heading 310 degrees. Regardless of approach direction all aircraft must execute a pedal turn so that the aircraft is facing heading 220 degrees. At no time will aircraft make an approach from the west to the Cargo Pad. Goaround direction is to the South or East depending on approach path. At no time will aircraft overfly the FOB. 3.22.2.3 Landing at VTOL Pad A, B, and C. At no time will aircraft over fly the Fuel Storage area, or any portion the FOB/LSAs. Overflight of the ASP is authorized for training flights only; and only when conducting roll-on landings to the Delta Taxiway. When approaching FOB Wolverine from the NE, N, or SE proceed south of ASP on a heading between 265 and 245 degrees down the FLS to land Alpha, Bravo, or Charlie Pads. When approaching from NW, W, and SW proceed south of the ASP on a 040 degree heading, down the FLS and at Alpha, Bravo or Charlie pads. a. Alpha Pad. This pad is primarily pad utilized for landing at the FARP. An approach from the east must be adjusted as necessary not to overfly the ASP or the Fuel Storage area. An approach from the west is generally down the FLS avoiding overflight of other operating aircraft. Bravo and Charlie Pads. These pads are primarily utilized for transiting into parking. The approach can be made from any direction provided the path does not overfly the FOB or parked/operating aircraft; the normal path is along the long axis of the FLS.
3.22.2.4 Landing to gravel FLS. There are no restrictions on operations. Dust in and around the FLS is a consideration. Roll on landings to Delta taxiway for training are authorized. Aircraft must be at or above ETL prior to touchdown. Landing direction is restricted to 220 heading. 3.22.3 Refuel Procedures 3.22.3.1 FOB Wolverine has contract hot refuel available for 24 hrs. Hot refuel is limited to aircraft able to accept pressure refuel from either CCR or D1 nozzle housings. Gravity refuel is available via cold refuel and requires coordination with Wings TOC at DSN 318-673-4404 / SVOIP 308-673-4414 / CENTRIX 264-9414. Refuel is contract; crewmember hookup is prohibited. 3.22.3.2 FARP Arrival Procedures. a. Proceeding directly to the FARP: FARP will be accessed using Alpha VTOL Pad. Land to the H and ground taxi via Alpha taxiway to Foxtrot taxiway, then to the FARP point specified by tower. Non-military aircraft (ICAT, Evergreen, Presidential, etc.,) will use FARP points 3 and/or 4 in order to allow aircraft to shutdown for cold refuel, and allow FARP points 1 and 2 for rearm/refuel for AH-64Ds and OH-58Ds.
AIP AFGHANISTAN b.
AD 3.1-10 05 May 11
Proceeding to the FARP from the cargo/passenger pad: Contact tower with position and state your intentions to proceed to the FARP (specify if rearming is required). Depart the Cargo Pad on either a 130 degree or 040 degree heading and circle the airfield to land to Alpha VTOL Pad. Do not over fly buildings or equipment and avoid over flight of the ASP on the SE corner of the FOB, Fuel Storage area and the Fuel servicing tent. Land to the H and ground taxi via Alpha Taxiway to Foxtrot Taxiway, then to the FARP point specified by tower.
3.22.3.3 FARP Marshalling Area. The passenger marshalling area is against the cement jersey barriers located directly adjacent to the refueling pads. Pilots and one nonrated crew member will remain in the aircraft. All remaining crewmembers and passengers will proceed to the marshalling area during refuel operations. 3.22.3.4 FARP Departure Procedures. FARP Pads 1 and 2 are fly-through FARP points. If aircraft power permits, aircraft can take off over the HESCO barriers. Aircraft are authorized a straight out departure to the South or with a turn down the FLS. If refueling at FARP Pads 3 and 4, or aircraft power does not permit, aircraft are required to back taxi out of FARP pads along F Taxiway to Alpha Taxiway to Alpha VTOL Pad for departure. 3.22.4 Departure Procedures 3.22.4.1 Departing Wolverine Cargo Pad. There are three departure directions from the Cargo Pad. Contact Wolverine Tower at on VHF 119.025; inform tower of your call sign, number/type of aircraft in flight and intentions. Tower will advise of any other traffic, range and artillery status within the Wolverine AOR. a. b. Departures on heading 040 or 130 degrees. These departures require an altitude over airspeed take-off in order to avoid dust hazards. Departure over Foxtrot Taxiway. This departure is authorized with tower approval for aircraft without a sling load. Aircraft will be at 50 feet AHO prior to Foxtrot taxiway between the FARP and LAMS-A with a left turn to the south or a straight out departure over the FLS. Primary consideration is aircraft safety and this procedure will not be approved with aircraft in refuel, on Alpha Taxiway, or Alpha VTOL Pad. This procedure cannot be utilized to go into the FARP.
3.22.4.2 Departing VTOL Pads A, B and C. VTOL Pads are restricted to single aircraft departures. There are two departure directions from the VTOL Pads. Straight out departures on headings of 040-degrees or 220-degrees are authorized. Contact Wolverine Tower at on VHF 119.025; inform tower of your call sign, type of aircraft and intentions. Tower will advise of any other traffic, range and artillery status within the Wolverine AOR. 3.22.4.3 Departing from the FLS. The FLS is normally utilized for multi-ship operations, SWT/AWT or power limited aircraft. There are two departure directions from the VTOL Pads. Straight out departures on headings of 040-degrees or 220-degrees are authorized. Contact Wolverine Tower at on VHF 119.025; inform tower of your call sign, number/type of aircraft in the flight and intentions. Tower will advise of any other traffic, range and artillery status within the Wolverine AOR. 3.22.4.4 Rolling Takeoff/Landing from the Delta Taxiway. Rolling Takeoffs/Landings from the Delta Taxiway are authorized. Rolling Takeoffs/Landings are restricted to single aircraft arrivals/departures. The only authorized takeoff direction is 220-degrees. For takeoff, aircraft must be wheels up and above ETL prior to reflective markings. 990 feet is given from Alpha/Delta Taxiway intersection to the reflective markers.
