TOP Airfield Restrictions Help

R- Day only, except C-21, due to unknown obstacles. Pending aircrew
feedback.
Q- Warning: Obstacles may exist at this airfield which would be
hazardous to
C-5 operations. An AMC Form 174, Airfield Survey is required to assess
any
obstacles prior to proposed C-5 operations. Contact TACC XOPM at (618)
229-2410/4015 to initiate the survey process.
Q- This airfield is designated as an FAA special airport due to limited
information and unique procedures. Recommend a thorough terrain study
and a
highly experienced aircrew for aircraft operations at this airfield.
Q- F- Aircrew feedback for this airfield concerning obstacles affecting
ground taxi operations is required. Aircrews should provide feedback
to the
AMC Airfield Suitability office (A3AS) via the Airfield Help Desk,
manned
24x7, at DSN 779-3112, FAX DSN 576-2019, or E-mail:
airfield.helpdesk@scott.af.mil.
Q- In other than Day VFR, pilots may only fly below the MSA at
airfields in
the vicinity of mountainous terrain if under Radar control or
established on
a segment of a published arrival procedure, instrument approach, or
departure
procedure. In addition, to fly below the MSA, pilots must reference
on-board
navigation equipment capable of deriving an integrated navigation
solution
that will keep their aircraft clear of terrain. However, unless
otherwise
restricted, pilots may fly VFR at night to/from airfields in the
vicinity of
mountainous terrain provided they are able to receive Radial/DME in the
vicinity of the airfield or reference on-board Global Positioning
System
(GPS) equipment to derive an integrated navigational solution for
situational
awareness and keep aircraft clear of terrain.
Q- Some ramps (and/or taxiways) are reported as unlit/lighting unknown.
Nighttime operations on these surfaces are approved for C-21 provided
auxiliary lighting is confirmed/provided.
No further A3AS advisory required provided the above
obstacles/restrictions
are briefed.
