2. Mid-air collision potential is high in the vicinity of McConnell AFB (KIAB), particularly within a 20 NM radius in all quadrants below 5000’. This is because of the location of (20) airports in the area including Cessna Acft Fld (KCEA) adjacent on the N and Beech Aircraft Corporation located 4.5 NM NE. The location of Cessna's (KCEA) Rwy 17-35 is 1/2 NM due N of McConnell's (KIAB) runway and causes Cessna aircraft to overfly the N end of the McConnell (KIAB) runways. Pilots should exercise extreme caution for light aircraft when crossing Cessna Acft Fld (KCEA) on approach to Rwy 19L and 19R. Col James Jabara (KAAO) is located 7 NM N of McConnell (KIAB) beneath the final approach course for Rwy 19R/L. Col James Jabara (KAAO) is an uncontrolled airfield with Instrument Approach Procedures. VFR pattern altitude is 2200’ with the downwind leg located directly beneath the ILS final for Rwy 19R. In addition to civilian flight training conducted at Col James Jabara (KAAO), many high performance corporate aircraft transit this airfield. (See VFR Supplement entry).

3.
Aircraft operating in the VFR pattern to Rwy 19 will remain at or above 3000’ MSL until past Beech Factory (KBEC) (4.5 NM NE) extended runway centerline. Aircrews departing/transitioning VFR on Rwy 01 will turn crosswind to remain within 1.5 NM N of McConnell AFB (KIAB). If unable, continue N until reaching 3000’ MSL, then turn crosswind N of Beech Factory (KBEC). Aircraft flying W closed VFR pattern shall remain within 1.5 NM of extended centerline of active runway.

4.
Large waterfowl, including Canadian geese, frequent fields and ponds within 3 NM radius of McConnell AFB (KIAB). Phase II bird activity September-February. September-October nighthawk migration occurs and may cause a temporary increase in small bird concentrations, especially during the hours of darkness. November-February expect increased concentrations of large waterfowl in immediate vicinity of airfield and on final approach. Waterfowl transit over airfield traveling between ponds bordering on all sides of the airfield. During Phase II period expect extensive holding delays. Pilots are encouraged to report all bird sightings that pose a probable hazard to flying. Monitor ATIS or contact Pilot to Dispatcher or Command Post for bird watch condition updates. BIRD WATCH CONDITIONS:
a.
LOW - Normal bird activity on and above the airfield with a low probability of hazard.
b.
MODERATE - Concentrations of 5-15 large birds (waterfowl, raptors, gulls, etc.) or 15-30 small birds (terns, swallows, etc.) in observable locations that present a probable hazard to safe flying operations.
c.
SEVERE - Heavy concentration of birds (more than 15 large or 30 small) on or above the runway, taxiways, infield areas, and departure or arrival routes.
d.
BASH RESTRICTIONS - Anytime bird watch condition MODERATE, VFR/IFR patterns will be closed to all aircraft and only initial takeoffs and final landings will be allowed provided arrival and departure routes avoid bird activity. In addition, during Phase II (1 September-28 February, unless extended by NOTAM) BASH window (1 hour prior to and 1 hour after sunrise and sunset) VFR/IFR patterns will be closed to all aircraft and only initial takeoffs and final landings will be allowed provided arrival and departure routes avoid bird activity. Anytime bird watch condition SEVERE, VFR/IFR patterns will be closed to all aircraft and all takeoffs and landings require approval of 22 OG/CC. Airborne aircraft other than IFE or minimum fuel will divert or hold until the bird watch condition is downgraded. Aircraft requesting to land or takeoff in bird condition SEVERE will contact Command Post.
