MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
SUBJECT: Proceedings – Air Force Western Pacific Region Airspace/Range Council (WP ARC) – Management
Session
GENERAL: – The Air Force Western Pacific Region Airspace/Range Council Management Session convened at
1:30 PM, January 18, 2012 at the Los Angeles Air Route Traffic Control Center (ZLA ARTCC), Palmdale, CA.
MANAGEMENT SESSION PROCEEDINGS FOR JAN 18, 2012
A. Remarks/Objectives/Introductions: Brig Gen Bledsoe (Chief of Staff, NM Air National Guard) and Mr.
Edward Chupein (HQ AF A3O-BR) - General Bledsoe welcome everyone to the ARC and noted that we have
a lot of airspace managers, pilots and air traffic controllers in attendance. We appreciate FAA ARTCC Facility
Manager, Mr Garza and his staff for allowing us to meet at their center and interact with the ARTCC personnel.
Mr. Garza also welcomed the attendees of the Western Pacific ARC and to Los Angeles Center. This is a great
opportunity for our controllers. It is our pleasure to host this meeting. Many of our FAA staff members have
served in the military and many other family members are also serving. He then thanked those that have served in
the military. Our relationship with the military has been great. Half of Los Angeles airspace is dedicated to
military operations.
B. Warfighter Briefings
1. Luke AFB F-16 Fighter Operations – Colonel Miller (56th Ops Group Commander)
 Introduction to Luke AFB Flight Operations: Colonel Miller began his briefing with cockpit
video taken as a Luke AFB flight of four F-16s was approaching the University of Phoenix Stadium for
the fly-by at the beginning of a major event. Air Traffic control pointed out VFR traffic near the flight and
within seconds the aircraft flew within feet of the flight of F-16s, highlighting the density of traffic,
controlled and uncontrolled, in the Phoenix / Luke AFB area.
 Luke AFB Mission
 “Train the world’s greatest F-16 pilots and maintainers while deploying mission ready
warfighters”
 Largest Fighter Wing in the US Military
 24,000 F-16 sorties/year, 110+ sorties every day
 Leading contender for next F-35 training base
 Currently six Fighter Squadrons, 138 F-16 “Vipers”

a. Senior Officer
b. Test Pilots / Thunderbirds
c. Forward Air Controllers
d. Familiarity flights for new F-22 pilots
 Fighter Aircraft SUA Usage
 Airspace time and fuel are precious commodities, they run out quickly. Typical sortie length is 75
minutes, tactical training only about 40 minutes
 These are students…they make mistakes…they fly out of the airspace…
 Channelized attention and task saturation due to demanding training tasks
 Frequent, rapid altitude changes (demonstrated in videos)
 If we know about a VFR/IFR aircraft in our airspace, we stop training. That equals a loss of
training.
 Aircraft should avoid us if at all possible. At our speeds and task saturation it is challenging for us
to visually clear for light aircraft that do not show up until very late on a fighter radar.
 Datalink (Link 16) feeds do help but not all fighters have it.
 Typical Training Missions in SUA: Col Miller included a number of videos that demonstrated
various training missions in Special Use Airspace.
 Advanced Handling Maneuver – a single aircraft with student and instructor.
a. Student performs maneuvers from high speed to low speed; includes aerobatic maneuvers
such as loops and rolls.
b. High-G turns to reach the aircraft limits of 9Gs. Allows the student to demonstrate to himself
that he can maintain consciousness at 9Gs. One video was a G-LOC (G-induced Loss Of
Consciousness) flight with the student regaining control of the aircraft after a few seconds.
 Advanced Combat Maneuvering is a three-ship training mission with two aircraft maneuvering
against one. The video demonstrated the extreme hazard of having two pilots concentrating on one
“enemy” fighter and not maintaining separation from each other. The near mid-air collision
demonstrates the high level of training involved in creating safe combat-qualified fighter pilots.
 Combat Tactics missions consist of 4 or more aircraft in mock combat engagements between
multiple aircraft flights.
 MACA (Mid-Air Collision Avoidance)
 From 1985 to present….
a. Over 5,000 Hazardous Air Traffic Reports in the USAF database
b. Does not include other military branches
c. Does not include civilian databases
 Most were between military and civilian aircraft
 Myth Busters…
 Military Pilots can avoid other aircraft using TCAS – not equipped
 Fighter Pilots can interrogate other aircraft’s IFF (transponder) – limited numbers and VFR
aircraft must have IFF on.
 Since fighter aircraft have radar, they can see other aircraft in time to avoid them – mission
tasking may divert attention from a general area search.
 Control Measures & Initiatives
 Actions if known civilian traffic in SUA:
a. Set a higher fight floor or a lower ceiling
b. Knock it Off
c. Safer, but equals lost training
 MACA Program at Luke includes an aggressive outreach to local GA community.
 Special Air Traffic Rule (SATR) implemented at Luke in May 2010
 SUA Transfer of Positive Control
Western Pacific Region Airspace/Range Council — 18-19 January 2012
2

Special Air Traffic Rule (SATR)
 FAA mandate for VFR aircraft to establish 2-way radio contact when in the vicinity of Luke AFB
 Safety measure to decrease mid-air potential around Luke
 The Luke SATR is one of only two SATRs in the United States; the other is at Eglin AFB, FL
 Approximately three Hazardous Air Traffic Reports (HATR) per quarter prior to the
establishment of the SATR.
 Zero HATRs since
 SUA Transfer of Positive Control
 Luke RAPCON is the single controlling agency of 56 FW Scheduled SUAs
a. Sells MOA during RAPCON published hours
b. Restricted areas only when scheduled
c. ATCAAs only when scheduled
 Advantages: Single point contact for ZAB for diverts/transits, and capping.
a. Reduced complexity/coordination
b. Efficient airspace use
c. Civil & military benefits
d. Multi-Service/Multi-base benefit
 AR-649 Issues
 Communication and handoff problems between fighters and ABQ Center and LA Center
 F-16s want to be at FL200 at check in, tanker at FL210, conduct AAR, and resume stereo at
FL220 to GLADBAG.
2. Marine Corps Installations West (MCIWEST) - Colonel Gamelin, USMC
 Marine Corp Installations refers to the facility and the associated airspace and ranges.
 Installations in the Marine Corps are under revision and are being consolidated.
 USMC Training
 The majority of Marine training is located in the Southwest US with 65% of ground ranges and
85% of the aircraft ranges and Special Use Airspace utilized by the Marine Corps.
 The Marine Corps controls 22 MTRs in the country with 17 in the west.
 Major changes in Marine Corps scope and range of employment have occurred with advanced
communication technology and the employment of Tilt Rotor aircraft that can rapidly deploy ground
forces.
 USMC Installations West
 Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton
a. Three Expeditionary Units
b. 14 Miles of Pacific Ocean beach provides premier amphibious training
c. Camp Pendleton Range Airspace: R2303 A, B, C, & D
 Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton
a. Marine Aircraft Group 39
b. Training at 29 Palms and Yuma airspace
 Marine Corps Air Station Miramar
a. Six Squadrons including KC-130s
 Marine Corps Air Station Yuma –
a. Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One (MAWTS-1)
b. Three AV-8B Harriers squadrons
c. First F-35 to arrive fall 2012
 Marine Corps Base 29 Palms – Training complex

d. Other services and other Nation’s forces utilize the Marine Corps installations in the SW.
e. Southwest US is critical to training US Marine Corps.
 Proposed Expansion of 29 Palms
 Expansion to the west into the Johnson Valley area will greatly improve training.
a. Major Callahan is the MCIWEST point of contact for airspace.
 Question concerning how inter-service requirements and / or competing proposals were being
handled.
a. Most of the limitations are being handled at the local or regional level.
 Mr. Chupein suggested that the PBFA (DoD Policy Board on Federal Aviation) and the OSD
Personnel and Readiness office will assist in questions of competing concerns.
 Force Structure: There is some uncertainty about future force structure.
 Airspace Coordination
 Coordination at Pt. Mugu has been the best ever, phenomenal.
 This does not exist in W-291; having a real-time person to coordinate traffic is exceptional.
 W-291 has recently converted to controlled airspace which should improve coordination.
3. California ANG, Fresno – Lt Col Balch, 194 FS/DO (Airspace Manager)
 Aircraft: F-16
 Primary Training Area: R-2508
 Alert Facility: Detachment 1 at March ARB.

 Scramble Departures from March are very fast and the aircraft are ready to climb at 10,000 feet
per minute.
 Major impact to a very congested air traffic area.
 Scramble Requirements
a. Minimum Vectors
b. Minimum Frequency Changes
c. Patience
 Generally the alert pilot is very busy with the departure procedures.
 ARTCC response: All Los Angeles Center needs to know is what the fighters need next.
C. Introductions: General Bledsoe started introductions with a short background about the establishment of the
Airspace/Range Council by the Air National Guard and now co-chaired by Air Force and ANG senior officers.
He asked everyone to introduce themselves and tell the council about their organization and issues if they had
any. (Selected organizations and comments below)
1. USFS / BLM National Airspace Program - Ms. Stewart - Her sole purpose is to ensure that there is
never another mid-air with a fire fighting aircraft.
2. Joint UAS Center of Excellence, Nellis AFB - Mr. Frank Villanueva – The major concern at Nellis
AFB is Alternative Energy development. He also mentioned that Nellis has an excellent relationship with firefighting agencies.
3. NPS Natural Sounds Program - Ms. McCusker mentioned that the ARC offers the NPS a great
opportunity to speak with Air Force and Air National Guard about new airspace and existing noise or
encroachment problems.
4. 355 OSS/OSOA, Davis-Monthan AFB - Mr. Presley manages the Tombstone MOA and uses the
Goldwater Range Complex for A-10 and C-130 training. The base hosts the FAA TRACON, an F-16 Air
Defense Alert Detachment, Snowbird, and Angel Thunder - an international search and rescue exercise. Major
issue is the proximity to Tucson International Airport only 4.1 miles away.
5. DHS/CBP - Air & Marine Operations Center (AMOC) - Mr Irke described his organization’s job as
chasing bad guys through special use airspace with aircraft stationed along the border between San Diego and
El Paso.
Western Pacific Region Airspace/Range Council — 18-19 January 2012

6. FACSFAC (Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility) San Diego – Mr Glickman provides air
traffic service for the Navy and manages Navy airspace issues from Texas to Alaska and Hawaii, including
two restricted areas near El Centro.
7. ANG Airspace Manager – Mr. Jones. The ANG is the largest scheduler of SUA. NGB/A3A has
pamphlets and DVDs for airspace managers to help in their outreach programs.
8. California DOT, Division of Aeronautics – Mr. Cathey said that his office is responsible to ensure
there is compatible land use around Callifornia airsports.
9. California ANG, March ARB – Lt Col Dutkiewica – Predator Flight Training Units utilizing Restricted
Areas, F2508, R2515 and R-2502.
D. US Forest Service & Bureau of Land Management National Airspace Program – Ms. Stewart
1. USFS & BLM Airspace Program started in the 1980s to prevent midair collisions with fire fighting
aircraft.
2. Airspace Tools
 Interagency Airspace Coordination Guide was created in 2003. It is available online
www.airspacecoordination.com and is currently being updated

surrounding an initial attack fire with a 5 NM radius and a minimum altitude of 2,500 feet AGL.
1. A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is established to enhance aviation safety and provide a safe
environment for operations of fire or disaster relief aircraft.

-fire fighting aircraft are authorized in fire TFRs by the FAA when issued under 91.137 (a) 2
including: Approved IFR flight plan aircraft, Law Enforcement Aircraft, VFR Airport Traffic, and
Accredited Media.
3. 2011 Fire Season was similar to 2010 with 72,500 wild fires consumed 8,000,000 acres.
4. Texas Fire Season – lasted from Feb to Nov 2011 and was the largest in history.
5. Arizona Fire Season was the worst year in decades.
2. Aircraft Usage: We are using a combination of Very Large Air Tankers (VLATs), Large Air Tankers
and Single Engine Air Tankers (SEATS).
 The goal is to have an aircraft at the fire within 20 minutes of the request.
6. Fires in MTRs and SUA: Dispatchers and or Airspace Coordinators call MTR Scheduling Activity or
SUA Controlling Agency to see if the airspace is active then pass information regarding activity to Air
Tactical Supervisor (Air Attack).
7. Arizona Fire Season – Mr Rose (USFS Temporary Hire)
 Extremely long period of very cold weather in February created dead plant life not normally present
at the 5,000 to 7,000 foot elevation zone.



wo miles of the fire was within Restricted Airspace. All military flight
operations within the airspace were cancelled.

-Monthan AFB and the Arizona ANG suspended their use of Libby Airfield during the
duration of the fire to reduce traffic conflicts between their priority IFR flight operations and the VFR
Firefighting Air Tanker and Helicopter operations originating at the airport.

operating. What was significant was that during the fire all four men had to evacuate their homes and
were living in temporary housing while supporting the fire operations.

-16 had flown very close to a fire attack
helicopter that was only a short distance from the established TFR at a “dip site” water tank. The
emphasis from this incident is that high density fire traffic may exist outside the TFR with transits
between the fire and reload facilities. Caution in the vicinity of a fire is important. The VR route was not
used during the remaining days of active fire fighting on the Horseshoe 2 Fire.
8. CAL FIRE Tactical Air Operations – Mr. Reese (Battalion Chief)
 California Air Attack Bases – 13 bases with 3 being Interagency supported.

b. If we find someone in the evening or weekend, the person we make contact with has no idea
what we are talking about and we are transferred several times with no resolution
c. We are given an alternate number to call, which may happen 4-5 times for the same incident
and we reach a recording which direct us to another number that goes nowhere
d. These issues are across the board with all military branches
E. National Park Service – Military Overflight Update – Ms. McCusker
1. Park Rescue – The National Park Service has thanked the Air Force and Army for their efforts in finding
two lost hikers and then extracting them with Army Blackhawks.
2. Natural Sounds Program Activities
Western Pacific Region Airspace/Range Council — 18-19 January 2012
6
 Published 14 articles in 2010 and 2011 concerning the impact of noise on wildlife and park visitors.
 Developed an internal NPS Overflights Reporting Database that is GIS based. With a comprehensive
database tool the NPS will be more capable of tracking noise problems.
 Project to determine the effects of Aircraft Routes on National Parks
 Energy Development Encroachment – Solar, Wind, Oil Shale, Natural Gas and Hydrokinetic
3. Regional Issues and Update
 Cannon AFB LATN – The NPS commented on the Draft EA for the Cannon AFB LATN in
November 2011. Who coordinates the responses? Mr. Chupein replied that the response may vary but
the overflight of wilderness has always been regarded as compatible. We need to coordinate on issues
more closely. A problem is that an agreement to not fly over wilderness environments and an agreement
to not fly over populated environments are contradictory and leads to “do not fly at all.” The military
must be able to preserve training areas.
 C-130 Landing Zone - Kirkland AFB – Draft EA to establish new C-130 Landing Zone operations
in the vicinity of the Petroglyphs National Monument, commented on in early 2012. The proposal and
coordination has been going very well
 Golden Gate National Recreation Area has a lot of local flying near a sensitive nesting area. They
need a good contact with the Coast Guard and would like to have the Coast Guard invited to the Western
Pacific ARC.
 Volcanoes National Park continues to have encroachment issues.
 Aircraft training at the Pohakuloa Training Area about 30 miles NNW of the Hawaii Volcanoes
NP impact the park.
 Basing Osprey MV-22 and H2 aircraft on the island will increase the potential of overflight of the
Park.
 There have been 57 violation of the Kilauea TFR since 2010 with seven of those being military
flights.
 The major problem remains with transient aircraft not based in Hawaii.
 Volcanoes National Park desires to have an agreement that all existing aircraft flight agreements
are maintained and passed on to future commanders.
 What is working.
a. Use of Oahu Public Affairs Office for overflight reporting
b. Need annual updating procedure
c. Better advance briefing information for rotating pilots in Pacific
 Where we need help.
a. How do we get the word out to rotating pilots?
b. What is the potential for pilot education?
c. Are there any Pacific pilot training manuals/briefing updates that can include information?

MANAGEMENT SESSION PROCEEDINGS FOR JANUARY 19, 2012
A. Remarks/Objectives/Introductions: Brig Gen Bledsoe (Chief of Staff, NM Air National Guard)
introduced Mr. Mark Clark, FAA Los Angeles Air Route Traffic Control Center manager.
B. Los Angeles Center UAS Activity – Mr Clark
1. Unmanned Aircraft Systems are a major part of the Los Angeles Center military traffic.
2. Global Hawk is manufactured in Palmdale
 80 % of Flight testing as well as operational flights are conducted in ZLA airspace.
 ZLA provided Global Hawk separation from other aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS).
 The Global Hawk lost-link procedures had to be refined because the initial procedure was not
predictable.
3. UAS Procedures
 FAA is working with the UAS community to work them into the NAS.
 Best Lost Link is to remain at altitude initially so FAA can block them by altitude.
 The next challenge is a predictable flight plan that would be similar to manned aircraft lost
communications procedures. A designated crash site may not be the best procedure.
 Improved lost link procedures will open up simultaneous UAS flights. The FAA is working with
Northrop to develop canned routes.
4. Airborne Sense and Avoid is a major challenge to allow equal access to the NAS and a solution may
still be eight years away.
5. Coded Fights Plans is a major step forward that will allow controllers to have better knowledge of the
intended flight plan.
6. UAS Testing - Los Angeles Center is becoming the test bed center due to the existing level of UAS
activity.
7. Certificate of Authorization - The FAA currently cannot keep up with the COA process. HQ FAA is
hiring people to improve UAS support.
8. BLM – UAS Center of Excellence – Ms. Stewart added that Dept of Interior is establishing a UAS
Center of Excellence at Boise, ID. The BLM is not sure how they will be used to support fire fighting but this
will accelerate the learning curve to ensure they are efficiently used for fire fighting in the future.
C. Western Pacific Air Force Representative to the FAA (AFREP) – Lt Col Rick Miller
1. Western Service Area Airspace Actions (all in the Northwest Mountain Region)
 White Elk MOA
 Paradise MOA
 Oregon Airspace Initiative
2. WSA MILREP

3. Western Service Area –Renton, WA
 Lt Col Farnsworth (Northwest Mountain Region)
 19 years of airspace and air traffic service in the USAF
 Currently Deployed
 Lt Col Miller (Southwest and Pacific Region)
 23 years of airspace and air traffic service in the USAF
 5 Deployments for OSW/Allied Force/OEF/OIF
4. JPARC (Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex)
 The JPARC is perfect for large force exercises like NORTHERN EDGE and RED FLAG ALASKA,
with connecting high altitude transit routes connecting the Air and Marine Traffic Areas (TMAA) to the
inland air ranges as well as airspace in Canada.
 The Inland north Airspace and Land Ranges, northeast and southeast of Fairbanks are the primary
training areas used for Red Flag Alaska.
 Training and Exercises Scope
 Individual up to joint and combined operations
 M9 Pistol to F-22 Fighter to Aircraft Carrier
 Testing and evaluation of capabilities
 Vast and diverse all domain training environment
 Practice real world tactical/operational engagements over realistic distances
 Employing modern weapons to full effectiveness
 JPARC Master Plan - The JPARC Master Plan is a complex list of 12 proposed actions developed
from the Master Plan with input from the Services, operators and numerous interested agencies. The EIS
is being developed under the guidelines of the NEPA process. 600 comments were received.
5. Comments: AOPA and its membership need early communication in the process to continue the
transparent cooperation with the public that has been established with previous airspace actions. AOPA
desires better real time information for all Special Use Airspace similar to that available in Alaska.
D. FAA Updates
1. En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) – Mr. Gagliano
 FAA’s new computer system to support NextGen. The new computers replace a very old single
source system with only a single (local) backup.
 ZLA will have 32 independent control stations and each station will be able to backup any other
station.
 ZLA started testing in Jan 2012 with three to six months of simultaneous operations prior to stopping
the support and use of the old system.
 Seattle and Salt Lake are full up, Denver and Albuquerque are moving to full up status.
 Oakland and Los Angeles are the 7th and 8th out of 20 Centers.
 The entire western US will be full up ERAM by the fall of 2012.
 The system offers enhance traffic handling, simplified airspace configuration changes, cross center
boundary handoffs and control, and universal backup capability.
2. FAA Holiday Airspace Release Program (HARP) – Mr. Kuck
 Los Angeles Center has a very large percentage of their airspace as SUA which they normally work
around.
 With HARP, non-military operations through R2508 and the Warning Areas was greatly increased.
 W291 recently changed from uncontrolled to controlled airspace. In 2008 there was very little
utilization of W291. Now the airspace is being utilized to reduce flight times at LAX. Use during HARP
operations was beneficial.
 HARP problems occur when one agency releases a message concerning SUAs and another unit
schedules the airspace.
Western Pacific Region Airspace/Range Council — 18-19 January 2012
9
 HARP was initially an East Coast policy. ZLA has benefited greatly from access to SUA during these
peak travel periods.
3. FAA National Special Activity Airspace Project (NSAAP)/SWIM – Mr. DeHart
 This project has brought together Mr. Lamont (National Business Aviation Association), Ms.
Williams (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) in a working group with the FAA to steer this project.
 Adaptive Airspace - Mr. Jordan is working on an Adaptive Airspace Concept above FL180 similar to
military operations in combat environments. Examples:
 Complete relocation of an ATCAA while maintain the same volume
 Expansion of an ATCAA with subdivision that can be recalled when required and level adequate
training airspace.
 Altitude/Time amendments to accommodate high traffic periods or weather without causing the
loss of the training mission.
 The key is real-time coordination between airspace user and the controller which is currently being
done in ZLA.
 This is not on-the-fly airspace construction. The military flight will pre-brief the available
airspace for the mission and that will be disseminated through the NOTAM system.
 Smart Applications will be available to receive this updated information prior to and during flight
operations by commercial and general aviation.
 The old FAA air traffic control system is inadequate (broken) and allows for putting aircraft into SUA
that is active with another flight. It also does not provide accurate information to allow aircraft to transit
airspace that is cold but not indicated cold in the FAA system.
 The FAA SWIM scheduling and utilization program is now integrated with the Air Force’s CSE
scheduling system as well as the Army/USMC RIGMAS scheduling system to provide real time bidirectional data flow. The military systems push schedule information to the FAA and they can pull down
utilization data.
E. Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) – Ms. Williams (newly promoted to Vice President)
1. New Airspace Manager at AOPA is Ms. Melissa Martin. She will be attending the regional ARCs in the
future and coordinating with FAA and military on airspace proposals.
2. AOPA’s Regional Representatives have changed. Ms. Howard in Phoenix is no longer with AOPA.
There are now eleven regional contract employees with AOPA with seven full time regional managers. Mr.
John Pifer is now the Southwest Regional Coordinator. He does not typically handle airspace actions. Our
regional staff can be accessed through the AOPA web site.
3. UAS Operations – AOPA’s position concerning UAS operations is that they should be integrated within
the NAS and not segregated - that would require more restricted access to additional airspace or existing
SUA.
 AOPA is developing a course available online or on a CD to explain UAS operations. That should be
available this summer.
4. Adaptive Airspace – Currently only ADS-B Out is mandated as a future requirement, but that does not
provide an in-cockpit display of modified airspace, TFRs, surrounding traffic and a maneuver to avoid a
collision.
5. Real-Time SUA Information has been an AOPA membership desire for many years.
 Tablet devices are becoming acceptable for charts and approaches, and smart phone and tablets with
connectivity and an application should be able to receive real-time SUA utilization and schedule
information for preflight planning and during flight.
 Airspace active by scheduled times is a problem since there may be acceptable periods of time when
non-scheduled aircraft could transit the airspace. All SUA should be scheduled through the NOTAM
system.
 Mr. Perkins (FAA) added that his staff is working on providing SUA schedules through SWIM. This
will be a future look for planned activity as well as real-time utilization.
Western Pacific Region Airspace/Range Council — 18-19 January 2012

6. Airspace Proposals – AOPA desires earlier coordination on proposed airspace similar to the Gulf of
Mexico airspace redesign.
 AOPA is working with the Air Force to improve the early coordination.
 The Navy released a Notice of Intent that did not include an airspace change and then they added two
new MOAs to the proposal and only gave two weeks for comments.
7. AOPA Contact - If anyone has issues with AOPA, contact our headquarters so we can work together.
F. National Business Aircraft Association – Mr. Lamond has been with NBAA for over 10 years. His past
experience includes time in the Air Force and he currently works closely with AOPA and Airlines for America
(A4A), formally known as Air Transport Association of American, Inc (ATA).
1. NBAA desires to work together with other stakeholders to have the best National Airspace System
available.
2. NBAA’s goal this year is to clarify NBAA’s roles and mission and clarify the image of business aviation.
 Business Aviation tends to remain very private about their operations for business and safety
concerns.
 Business Aviation has been its own worst enemy by not putting a positive image out to the media.
 The three Automobile CEOs speaking before Congress to request government assistance after
arriving in three separate corporate aircraft was a public relations disaster.
3. NBAA is striving to improve this image and stress the cost effective uses of corporate aircraft.
4. NBAA has both Part 91 and Part 135 aviation departments with more than 8200 Part 91 operations using
business aircraft.
5. Mr. Lamond presented a short video portraying the many uses of aircraft among a very diverse group of
businesses.
G. California DOT Division of Aeronautics – Mr. Cathy, Division Chief
1. Division of Aeronautics - All states have an airport/aviation division that supports public use airports.
2. Airport Encroachment is the number one issue for the Office of Aviation Planning. The development of
Comprehensive Land Use Plans is essential to protect our airports from further urban encroachment.
3. The State Airport Land Use Commission states that the County Managers have the final authority on
land use around airports.
4. The State Office of Airports annually inspects the 250 public use airports; 30 of these offer commercial
service. They ensure that all airports are meeting their operational requirements. They also inspect hospital
heliports, approve flight paths, weight restrictions, and more. The state web site has information on all
hospital heliports. Web site http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/planning/aeronaut/
5. Legislation: The Div of Aeronautics gets involved with airspace such as legislation that enacted a law
that limits the construction of obstacles that will penetrate the FAA obstruction clearance. The State Law is
regulatory. A developer built a structure in violation and went to court and had to remove one floor of the
building. The state law is effective. Issues that are adjacent to the public airspace the CA DOT Aeronautics
Division may be able to help.
6. Proposed California Legislation will decouple a comprehensive land use plan that will weaken the
current state land use plan.
7. We work with NBAA and AOPA under our charter to promote aviation within the State. We are a
member of a national organization of state aviation officials that has an impact at the national level.
8. Questions: Ms. Stewart asked it California has a state airlift response for natural disasters. The state
office of emergency services has an airlift component. California is trying to develop a statewide plan in
response to the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.
H. Round Table Discussion - Issues, Concerns and Solutions: Brig Gen Bledsoe
1. NOTAMS: Colonel Miller - mentioned that there are initiatives to modernize the US NOTAM system.
Western Pacific Region Airspace/Range Council — 18-19 January 2012
11
 Mr. Perkins - confirmed that there is an effort to modernize the NOTAM system and that we do not
need to have the SUA scheduled by NOTAM only. The FAA will be able to input real-time information
into the system. The info will be available on smart phones and computers. This has been an international
effort to display digital data in the cockpit.
 AOPA is not satisfied with the slow progress of ICAO but there are some good reasons to make
changes.
2. AP/1 information is distributed monthly – Our fire aircraft dispatchers nationwide call the numbers
that are listed and often the people answering the call do not know what to do with the fire traffic information
or who to contact.
 The military is supposed to also have an alternate point contact
 With 20 Air Traffic Centers why can’t we have a published phone number for each center that will be
able to provide MTR schedules?
 With the economic benefits from the use of the SUA, real time information should available.
 Can CONUS have the same capability that has been established in Alaska for general aviation to
receive SUA utilization information much like an ATIS message updated as required.
 Jim Perkins assured everyone that when the FAA receives all MTR scheduling information real-time
use information will be available in the same manner as MOAs.
3. Fire Fighting Coordination in the Border Region – There are issues that need to be resolved along the
border. Fire fighting agencies, military units and other flight operations need to meet to ensure safety of flight
during fire operations.
 Terry Hansen added that it is a matter of cooperation and education. He volunteered to put together a
meeting.
 Ms. Stewart added that everyone with access to pilots needs to remind them that they must remains 5
NMs from smoke.
4. Mr. Perkins thanked everyone for a very good meeting with many new tasks for his group.
5. Mr. Odom added that the meetings held at the Air Traffic Centers have been very beneficial.
6. Mr. Wilson as a past co-chair of the Airspace/Range Council thanked everyone for their work and
contribution to the Council.
I. Next Meeting: Colonel Quinn suggested that the next meeting may be with Oakland Center and it will be the
third week of January 2013.
J. Wrap Up / Adjourn: General Bledsoe thanked everyone for attending the meeting and challenged everyone
to keep the connections and communications through the year. “Keep charging the windmills” to make progress.
He reminded everyone that this was his last ARC and that Colonel Quinn would become the Regional Co-Chair.
