Assault Landing Zone (ALZ) - Extensive ALZ/NVD training in effect Monday-Friday. 180° turns on ALZ are not authorized. Turns will be made using the taxiways or overrun surfaces. Duke Fld (KEGI) ALZ markings are non-standard with AFI 13-217 and are approved for use by 919 SOW and 16 SOW aircraft only. Waiver to AFI 13-217 and PPR is required for use of Duke Fld (KEGI) ALZ for units not assigned to 919 SOW or 16 SOW. Units will coordinate their request for the ALZ and receive an ALZ procedures briefing prior to its use from 919 SOW/DOO, DSN 875-6550/6552/6553, C850-883-6550/6552/6553. All ALZ operations will be conducted in VFR conditions.

CAUTION - Weather observing limitations include the most distant visibility marker in any quadrant is 3 miles due to tree line.
The SW-NW quadrant is restricted to 1 mile, due to main base structures. Nighttime viewing of the sky for cloud cover is severely restricted due to base lighting.

Duluth Intl (KDLH), MN
1.
ANG – Transient Aircraft service only during ANG duty hours for OFFICIAL BUSINESS ONLY with a PPR (DSN 825-7370). Fuel is also available at the FOB without a PPR. Contact Monaco Air at C218-727-2911. Transient aircraft with PPR should contact Bulldog OPS on UHF 288.9/VHF 139.9 15 minutes out. De-icing available at FOB only. No hangar space or billeting available at the ANG.
2.
Local Terrain. Local terrain features in the Duluth area are consistent with no natural elevations exceeding 1000' above the airfield. When landing Runway 27 during high wind conditions, pilots should expect high sink rates and turbulence due to wind shear, terrain, and a vortex effect caused by the alert hangar and civilian terminal. The sharply rising terrain causes a deceptive approach, which could result in a dragged-in final. Minimum safe altitude is 3100’ MSL. Emergency safe altitude is 4100’ MSL.
3.
Obstructions. Numerous TV towers, elevation 2049’ MSL are located 5 miles southeast of Duluth Intl (KDLH). These towers are a hazard if the Duluth VORTAC (DLH)(CH 73) is mistakenly selected for the Lakeside TACAN (LKI)(CH 11) approach to Runway 27. A 240’ AGL microwave tower is located approximately 2.5 miles from the approach end of Runway 27 on a magnetic bearing of 120 degrees.
4.
Mid-Air Collision Avoidance (MACA). There are numerous uncontrolled civilian airports within a 15 NM radius of Duluth Intl (KDLH). Light aircraft operate from numerous small lakes within the vicinity during the winter and summer. Duluth tower vectors light aircraft at 3000' MSL (overhead traffic pattern altitude) within the airport traffic area. Special care should be used to avoid “Cirrus Test Aircraft” which operate in 3 distinct test areas: the North, East, and West areas which run from the airport to approximately 25 miles out at altitudes of 4000'-7000’ MSL. Cirrus Aircraft are operating VFR and will be squawking Mode 3. Pilots should use visual lookout and RADAR when departing and arriving into the Duluth Intl (KDLH) to help avoid Cirrus Test Aircraft.
