(b)
On Melrose Range/MOAs/low level routes, minimize low-level flying and deliveries below 2000’ AGL, normally for required syllabus training only.
(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 02-64)
(3)
SEVERE - Either high concentrations of small birds, or a few large raptors or waterfowl on or immediately above the active runway, in the approach or departure corridors, or in other locations that represent a high potential for strike and represent an immediate hazard to safe flight. Supervisors and pilots must thoroughly evaluate mission need before conducting operations in areas under condition SEVERE. Flocks of birds above the runway, in the approach corridor or pattern, or on the ground near the runway are examples of SEVERE.
(a)
Takeoffs will be suspended until a runway change is completed or the hazard diminishes. Recoveries will be single ship to a full stop. Supervisors of Flying may direct airborne aircraft to hold until the hazard diminishes or divert as required. The Bird Dispersal Team should be dispatched immediately if the bird hazard is on or above the airfield.
(b)
On Melrose Range/MOAs/low level routes, restrict deliveries to stay above an appropriate altitude (and in no case, below 2000’ AGL). If conditions warrant, Supervisor of Flying may close the range/low MOA/low level route until the hazard diminishes.
7. Limited COMSEC/classified storage up to Secret is available
at Base Operations. COMSEC materials not available for issue. (AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 02-65)
Cape Canaveral AFS Skid Strip (KXMR), FL
1. BIRD AIRCRAFT STRIKE HAZARD - Resident waterfowl are the greatest hazard to Cape Canaveral AFS Skid Strip (KXMR) flight operations. Gulls and terns are common in all areas and present exceptionally heavy activity on the ramp and runway after rain showers. Long-legged wading birds are most common along the Banana River and on the final approach course to Rwy
13. Raptors are common in all areas, especially N of the runway. Pelicans and shorebirds present heavy concentrations along the coast and are extremely hazardous along the final approach course to both runways. Small species and migratory birds are common in all bushy areas. Due to the limited air traffic flow into the Skid Strip, there have been few recorded BASH incidents.
2. BIRD WATCH CONDITION - Phase 1, 1 April-30 September. Phase 2, 1 October-31 March. Highest bird strike potential during Phase 2 due to migratory season. Expect increased activity during phase 2 at dawn/dusk +/- 1 hour.
a.
SEVERE - High bird population on or immediately above the active runway or other specific location that represents a high potential for strike. Airfield flying operations will be suspended until airfield management personnel disperse the birds and downgrade the condition.
b.
MODERATE - Increased bird population in locations which represent an increased potential for strike. This condition requires increased vigilance by all agencies and supervisors and caution by aircrews.
