MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
SUBJECT: Proceedings – Air Force Central Service Area Airspace/Range Council (CSA-ARC) - Management Session
GENERAL: – The Air Force Central Service Area Airspace/Range Council (CSA ARC) Management Session convened
May 28, 2014 at Volk Field, Wisconsin hosted by the Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC), Wisconsin Air
National Guard.
MANAGEMENT SESSION PROCEEDINGS FOR 28 MAY, 2014
A. Remarks/Objectives/Introductions: Brig Gen Baker (OK ANG) and Colonel Brown (OH ANG) welcomed
everyone to Volk Field and thanked them for working on providing and maintaining training airspace.
B. National Perspective - Brig Gen Siana (CT ANG - National ARC Co-Chair) welcomed everyone and added that
he was very pleased with the number of attendees.
1. ARC Meetings - since last year with large budget cuts the ARCs are more streamlined this year with a change
from 5 to 3 regional meetings annually.
 With the other stakeholder agencies being able to support all of the meetings - we think it is a good change.
2. Why we are here - Airspace Actions - The length of time it takes to get an airspace action approved is very
frustrating and we continue to work on streamlining the process.
 Special Use Airspace is very important for our combat readiness.
 New Weapon Systems with increase performance and range require larger training airspace.
 The Volk Airspace Proposal is the first ANG proposal to follow the entirely new Air Force process has been
briefed to the Air Force Steering Group - it is going well.
 Condor Airspace Proposal started over 10 years ago. Latest requirement is a letter to the Penobscot Indian
National required by the Section 106 process which recommended one additional contact with the tribe. The Air
National guard is keeping the dialog open and trying to mitigate their concern.
 We are re-writing our Airspace Process instructions that will improve the process.
3. Encroachment
 Radio Spectrum is also very critical - the telephone and Wi-Fi industry is working on a huge expansion in
wireless coverage.
 The Navy's Boardman Range in Oregon is an example of major encroachment.
 The Range is the major Electronic Warfare training range in the NW and they have massive problems with
Wind Energy towers. The graphic below indicates the wind energy installations surrounding Boardman Range.

 There has been a drop of 92 % in the growth in wind turbines due to the current success of the natural gas
industries increase production
4. Civil use of Special Use Airspace is a special emphasis issue with recent direction from the Guard Bureau.
Special Use Airspace is for military use. The airspace can be assigned by the FAA for other purposes when not
actively supporting the military training mission.
5. ADS-B OUT - is very expensive to modify by 2020. There are plans but it is a big issue for the Air Force.
C. F-16 Capabilities and Airspace Utilization - Lt Col Moses (180th OSS/CC)
1. 180th FW Mission: Provide combat ready Airmen (Warriors!) for federal, state, and community missions
 Maintain F-16 Combat readiness to deploy with limited notice anywhere in the world
 Maintain 24/7 Air Sovereignty Alert from Toledo
 Navigation with a TACAN and basic Inertial/GPS that are non-RVSM
2. If money exists to upgrade the F-16, it will NOT be spent on better navigation systems such as ADS-B unless
mandated in the future by the FAA.
3. General F-16C Information - 180th FW Stingers fly Block 42 F-16Cs
 Single-seat, single-engine, multi-role tactical fighter w/ full air-to-air and air-to-ground capabilities, 27,500
Lbs Gross Weight, powered by the F100-PW-229 Engine with 29,000 Lbs of Thrust
 Max Airspeed 800 Kits - 2.05 Mach
 Digital Flight Control Computer - Fly By-Wire System with Side-stick control
 9.0G Capable airframe
 Maximum fuel capacity - 13,890 lbs
4. Combat Fuel Considerations
 High (20,000’-30,000’MSL - 480-510 KTAS), Low 100-5000’AGL - 480-540 KGAS), High = 450 NM
 Extended Range with Air to Air Refueling with KC-135 and KC-10

8. Air-to-Ground: Offensive Counter Air / Strategic Attack / Air Interdiction, Close Air Support, Strike
Coordination and Reconnaissance
9. Specialized Missions: Combat Search and Rescue, Airborne Forward Air Control, and Joint CAS. “CAS is air
action by fixed and rotary-wing aircraft against hostile targets that are in close proximity to friendly forces and that
require detailed integration of each air mission with the fire and movement of those forces”
10. General Employment
 Air-to-Air
 Employ as Four-Ships as Basic Fighting Force
 Maintain Primarily Visual Formations until Tactic Execution, then Element Visual Mutual Support
 Prefer Support from Off board Assets (AWACS, GCI), but not required
 Air-to-Ground
 Employ as Four-Ships as Basic Fighting Force
 Primarily Medium Altitude, PGM Attacks
 Prefer Night Operations due to Reduced Threats
 Easily Incorporated into Large Force Employment Scenarios
 FAC(A) Mission: Coordinate and control CAS, providing detailed integration of air power with ground
fire to support the ground commander’s intentions
11. Targeting Pods - Gives capability to engage specific and deliberate targets and provide battle hit assessment post
engagement.
 Third-Generation Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) imagers with excellent resolution for target ID with a
very long range capability.
 Geo-Coordinate Generation provides target coordinates for other users.
12. How we train
 We can’t stay combat mission ready without training airspace availability
 Every mission drives different airspace requirements
 During the course of a year, we use a phased based training program and typically focus on one mission at
time (with some exceptions)
 Basic Fighter Maneuvers (BFM) – 2-ship dog fighting
 MOA/ATCAA – Min required: 10,000 AGL – FL190, 10-15NM ring
 Desired: 5,000 AGL – FL230
 Air Combat Maneuvers (ACM) – 4-ship dog fighting
 MOA/ATCAA – Min required: 10,000 AGL – FL190’, 25-30NM long rectangle
 Desired: 5,000 AGL to FL300
 Close Air Support (CAS) – close integration with friendly ground forces
 MOA/ATCAA – Min required: 2000’ medium altitude block
 Desired: SFC to FL200
 Diverse airspace requirements depend on training objectives
a. Dense Urban environment – downtown major cities
b. Mountainous terrain – simulating current conflict environment
c. Over water maritime airspace to target fast boat swarms
d. Open rural areas to target fast moving vehicles and motorcycles
Central Service Area Airspace/Range Council — 28-29 May 2014
3
 Our objectives are ALWAYS changing and we need a broad spectrum of varying airspace options to meet
these requirements
 2-ship night sparkle/strafe vs. moving target with NVGs/TGP
 Concerns – finding/hitting the target in the darkness while flying 500kts at low altitude / hitting the
ground / location of friendly forces (FRAT) / collateral damage concerns…oh and airspace borders
 Defensive Counter Air (DCA) / Tactical Intercepts – protect high-value area on the ground or high-value
airborne asset
 MOA/ATCAA – Min required: 8,000 AGL – FL300, 50NM x 25NM min
 Desired: SFC to FL500, 70NM+ x 30NM+
 Tactics involved in complex A-A scenarios depend heavily on available airspace
a. Ability to climb and descend for both offensive and defensive maneuvering
b. Ability to go supersonic
c. Chaff/Flare/ECM usage
 Typically involve 8 aircraft in a 4v4 (4 blue vs. 4 red fighters with continuous regeneration is typically
4v16+)
a. Concerns – flying tactical formation with 3 other blue fighters / staying visual with the tiny F-16 /
using offensive avionics systems to find/track/engage threats / using defensive systems to protect own
aircraft from incoming missiles / do all this without hitting any other airplane or the ground / protecting
the high value target
 Air Interdiction (AI) / Opposed Surface Attack (OPSAT) – engage/destroy enemy air and ground targets deep
inside hostile territory
 MOA/ATCAA – Min required: 8kAGL – FL300, 50NM x 25NM min
 Desired: SFC to FL500, 70NM+ x 30NM+
 Tactics involved in complex A-A/A-G scenarios depend heavily on available airspace – similar to
requirements in DCA
a. Ability to climb and descend for both offensive and defensive maneuvering
b. Ability to go supersonic
c. Chaff/Flare/ECM usage
 Typically involve 8 or more aircraft in a 4v4 (4 blue vs. 4 red regenerating fighters)
a. Concerns – flying tactical formation with 3 other blue fighters / staying visual with the tiny F-16 /
using offensive avionics systems to find/track/engage both air and ground threats / using defensive
systems to protect own aircraft from incoming surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles / do all this without
hitting any other airplane or the ground / hitting the one target you are driving through bad guy land to
destroy
13. The “Spin-up Process”
 Over the past 13 years, we have typically used the 3-6 month timeframe prior to a combat deployment to
“spin-up” for specific combatant commander objectives required of each pilot in the combat zone
 The latest requirement has been urban and/or mountainous terrain CAS
 Tracking and engaging moving vehicles/motorcycles through urban and mountainous terrain (day and
night)
 Tracking and targeting specific individuals or groups of people evading in mountainous or urban terrain
(day and night)
 On-the-fly weaponeering of diverse targets with significant collateral damage concerns
 Night sparkle-strafe with one jet marking the target with an IR marker while the other strafes the moving
mark point with NVGs
14. Temp Airspace during the Spin-up
 Temp MOA/ATCAA/ALTRAV over specific environments on the ground (urban/water/mountains)
 Previous deployment to Horn of Africa / Jordan, the 180th setup a Temp MOA/ATCAA over the city of
Tucson
 Even though recent history has been heavy in CAS training, this should NOT be used as a predictor for future
training objectives and requirements
 Large scale / Major Combat Operations will require larger pieces of airspace (both laterally and
vertically).
15. 180th FW Airspace



Three primary areas
 North – Alpena airspace complex
 South – Buckeye/Brush Creek/Charlie-ATCAA
 West – Hilltop/12-mile/Atterbury/Jefferson
Utilization
 Weather is the biggest driver in the selection of which airspace we use each day (Alpena/Buckeye are
more than 300 miles apart and one weather pattern is quite often better than the other)
 Weather being equal – 180th typically flows to Buckeye due to simpler airspace transit requirements
a. Stinger departures/recoveries to the Alpena Airspace complex are actively being worked through the
Optimization of Airspace and Procedures (OAPM) in the Metroplex for the Detroit area.
b. The process has been highly successful and collaborative to work solutions to ATC facility and
industry/military user issues
Near term desires
 Buckeye/Brush Creek/Charlie-ATCAA temporary use additions
a. Create temp MOA below the Charlie shelf A/B ATCAA (e.g. 5,000 or 8,000 AGL to FL180)
b. Have successfully increased C-A/B ATCAA to FL350 on temporary basis for specific mission
requirements
 Alpena Airspace Complex
a. Increase Steelhead ATCAA to FL350 to match ATCAAs above Pike (Lumberjack and Firebird
ATCAAs)
b. Temp increase of Alpena ATCAAs to FL500
 Temp MOA in the vicinity of Findlay, OH for ACM/BFM/CAS usage during specific training events
over the course of the year
a. Strong desire to have airspace close to Toledo for this requirement
(1). 5,000 AGL – FL230, approx 30NM long x 10-15NM wide
b. Only used for specific missions/phases with prior coordination
Future requirements
 Mission changes in the near term could include a much greater emphasis on Suppression of Enemy Air
Defenses (SEAD)
a. Find/Fix/Track/Target/Suppress/Destroy enemy surface to air missile systems
b. Much higher emphasis on training in airspace with real world and training emitters
Long-term F-35 transition
 The future of the AF is the F-35
 Will require larger airspace
a. Longer looks – both vertically / laterally: 80NM+ x 30NM+
 Super-cruise requirements
D. RQ-7 Shadow UAV Demonstration
1. The Airspace/Range Council attendees proceeded to the Volk Field flight-line for a flight demonstration

G. FAA Regional Issues - FAA ARTCC Reps
1. Kansas City Center - Mr. Mullinax (Support Mgr. Airspace FAA Kansas City ARTCC)
 Last year the budget was our biggest issue and the number of new controllers that we were getting.
 Currently we are training as many controllers as we can but we are still losing people at a fast rate
 This year ERAM has been the major issue.
 There was a lot of testing and training
 Kansas City Center set the bench mark as the shortest time to adapt.
 There are still some bugs to work out but it is very stable.
 There are still 5 of the 20 centers still to convert to ERAM
 The 509th BW, Whiteman AFB's B-2 mission is a challenge for Kansas City Center.
 They get target changes and desire to work from FL 380 to FL 420 with random operations that conflict
with civilian traffic.
 Smokey Hill Range and the City of Salina along with Kansas City Center worked to create an exercise.
 The Lindberg MOA, R4501 and the Ada MOAs are now underutilized.
 Question about ADS-B operations.
Central Service Area Airspace/Range Council — 28-29 May 2014
6
 The FAA is now in the initial operating phase with all centers having ADS-B turned on and receiving
feeds from the system
 Procedures are still being developed - We cannot use ADS-B data received that is below our radar
coverage.
 We are excited about the system capabilities.
2. Minneapolis Center Issues - Hughes
 We have been working on airspace issues
 Working with Volk Field on the development of new airspace
 Last year we discussed altimeter settings for operations that transited FL 180. There has been a lot of progress
and we will be finalizing the Letters of Agreements for Special Use Airspace.
3. Indianapolis Center Issues  The Center is working on airspace issues at R-3403 and Muscatatuck to expand UAS operations.
 Working on the Buckeye MOA/ATCAA procedures
 Communication is the key to getting things accomplished (don't be afraid to give us a call)
4. Chicago Center Issues  Chicago Center's airspace is very compact - when the military airspace is hot if affects how we operate.
 Our work force is much younger now with very little military experience and a short time with the FAA.
 Our controllers have no idea what is going on in Special Use Airspace.
 Comments: General Harris added that the FAA Centers get a real benefit from Warfighter Briefings
 General Siana mentions that next we hope to have the regional meetings at Air Traffic Center locations to
have more involvement with the controllers.
TASK ARC Co-Chairs to coordinate Warfighter Briefings for ATC Centers to educate the new controllers on mission
and training conducted in Special Use Airspace.
H. Experimental Aviation Association - Mr. Harger (Government Advocacy Specialist, EAA)
1. EAA represents aviation enthusiasts, home-built operators with about 185,000 members and over 1,000 chapters
worldwide.
2. ADS-B is a concern with most EAA members operating below the 10,000 MSL ADS-B cutoff altitude.
 There is a lot of doubt ADS-B operations
 The Cost is very high and a major concern
 EAA focuses on the fun of aviation and has about a 50% member overlap with AOPA
 EAA does not have a government advocacy program such as AOPA has.
 General Harris suggested that the ARC incorporate the local EAA chapters into airspace proposals and ARC
meetings.
I. MQ-1 Predator Warfighter Brief - Lt Col Steinbicker (178 OSS/XP, Springfield, OH)
1. Remotely Piloted Aircraft Significance
 Operations have grown rapidly from 83,000 flight hours in 2007 to over 220,000 hours in 2011.
 Predator units always support the Joint Force Commander
2. Capabilities

4. Lost Link
 It does not happen very often - it is very reliable
 We can handoff control to another control station if we have to evacuate.
 automatic if control link is broken
 commanded if needed and the RPA will have a planned crash
5. Accomplishments
 Over 1 Million Combat Hours Flown
 Very Low safety incident rates
 Outstanding Combat Capability
 Reliable Humanitarian Support
J. Session Wrap up - Lt Col Steinbicker

opportunity to meet with attendees.
MANAGEMENT SESSION FOR MAY 28 ADJOURNED AT 5:00 PM
MANAGEMENT SESSION RESUMED MAY 29 AT 8:00 AM
A. Welcome to the Management Session - Colonel Baker opened the morning session by welcoming everyone back
for the second day.
1. ARC Meeting Locations: A discussion concerning where to host the 2015 ARC included:
 The preferred location would be at an FCC Air Traffic Control Center
 The ARTCCs may not have sufficient conference space to host the meeting within the Center Facility
 The Central Service Area will be in a new office in the fall of 2015 and after that time would have sufficient
room to host the ARC.
 Hosting the ARC at Ft. Worth Center along with the Center Service Area is possible.
B. National Park Service - Overflights Issues - Ms. Ward (Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division)
1. History of NPS and Overflights
 1872 Yellowstone National Park is established – America’s first national park (and first national park in the
world!)
 Trivia question: What agency managed Yellowstone until 1918?
 1903 World’s first successful airplane flight
 1908 - Grand Canyon National Monument established
 1916 National Park Service established to protect park resources unimpaired for future generations
 1927 – first commercial air tour over Grand Canyon
 1949 President Truman issues executive order restricting aircraft below 4,000 AGL over the Boundary
Waters Canoe Area
2. More Overflights History
 1987 Overflights Act – mandate to restore natural quiet at Grand Canyon National Park
 1995 Report to Congress on the Effects of Aircraft Overflights on the National Park System
 2000 National Parks Air Tour Management Act
 2002 US Air Force and National Park Service Sourcebook
 It still has a lot of good information about the two agencies.
 Want to update the collaborative information.
 http://www.nature.nps.gov/sound/resources.cfm
 NPS now has a brochure on peace and quiet.
 In 2012 NPS accepted an agreement to work with air tour operators and FAA to coordinate flight plans
3. NPS Organizational Structure
 Over 400 park units

7 Regional offices
 The NPS Midwest Region with a Regional Office in Omaha is the same as the ARC's Central Great Lakes
region plus Arkansas.
 The NPS Intermountain Region with an office in Santa Fe includes New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas
of the ARC's Southwest Region.
 Park superintendents report to Regional Director
 Park superintendent is the equivalent of an installation commander
 Washington or Regional support offices provide services or resource expertise not available at parks
Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division
 Overflights Program – Provide technical support and advice to park managers
 Air Tour Management
 Airport Enhancement Projects
 Next Gen Airspace Design
 Military Liaison – low level flights, airspace proposals
 Technical Assistance – acoustic monitoring
 Aircraft Noise Modeling
 Unmanned Aerial Systems (drones) – policy and use by NPS or by park visitors, e.g. “A Boy and His
Drone”. Parks are trying to protect the visitor experience. the NPS is working on a policy.
Military Liaison
 Promote early cooperation with NPS during scoping and pre-NEPA project planning
 Work with parks to identify issues with military actions and develop approach for resolving issues at the local
level
 Promote building relationships with military services
 The Cheyenne MOA is a good example of working early with the military to resolve issues with
Regional Projects
 Powder River Training Complex/Ellsworth AFB – negotiated avoidance of Little Bighorn Battlefield National
Monument
 White Sands National Monument –
 NPS cooperating agency with Holloman AFB on EA for conversion to F-16s
 Portions of monument closes during missile tests at White Sands Missile Range
Airport Enhancement/Airspace Design
 Denver Area / Rocky Mountain National Park: The FAA made an agreement to move the path to reduce the
noise impact over the wilderness areas within the park. Placing the route over the existing highway mitigated the
noise impact on park visitors.
 FAA came to the NPS very early in the EIS process for Denver.
 The ARCs are helpful in getting a heads up on new proposals
Questions:
 Does the NPS have to consider the military airspace when a creating or making changes to an installation?
 Changes in designation from monument to park require legislative action.
 Ms. Ward did not believe there was a requirement for airspace coordination on installation changes
 Is European style sound monitoring coming to the US?
 Europe is ahead of the US in measuring the impacts on humans. The US is now looking at noise impacts
more closely.
 Mr. Stone (Airspace Mgr. AF 28th BW / OSS, Ellsworth AFB, SD) added that through working with the
NPS a warning was added to flight restrictions included in the Powder River MOAs requiring all flights to avoid
Devil's Tower NM by 5 nautical miles and 18,000 feet.

C. BLM/USFS Wilderness Fire Issues - Mr. Rose (BLM/USFS Airspace Coordinator for Ms. Stewart, National
Airspace Program Manager)
Central Service Area Airspace/Range Council — 28-29 May 2014
9
1. The BLM/USFS Airspace Program began in the 1980's to prevent midair collisions.
2. Mid-Air Avoidance - Ms. Stewart's job is to make sure all fire aviation people are aware of the mid-air hazards.
Airspace Coordinators insure the fire, military and civilian aviation is aware of the fire location and activity as well as
the establishment of a TFR associated with the fire.
3. 2014 Fire Potential - is a concern in the upper Midwest and in east Texas
 Fire activity has already started in the Southern Region.
 And there is a major concern in the draught areas of the pacific coast.
4. US Forest Service Aviation
 Owns and operates 27 aircraft & helicopters
 Contracts with over 800 aircraft & helicopters annually
 Missions Include:
 Fire surveillance
 Aerial reconnaissance
 Air Attack
 Delivery of smokejumpers
 Firefighter and cargo transport
 Aerial delivery of retardant and water
 Natural Resource Management
 Research
5. BLM Aviation Program
 Exclusive-Use Fire Helicopter fleet
 Type II and Type III helicopters
 Single Engine Air Tankers (SEATs)
6. Our Lands (National Forest and BLM land and DoD Special Use Airspace are nearly the same.
7. Every fire can be a unique challenge
8. Certain tools were developed specifically to ENHANCE airspace coordination
 Interagency Airspace Coordination Guide (2003) - will be revised soon
 Interagency Airspace Website - www.airspacecoordination.com
 Links to Interagency Coordination Guide
 FAA
 DoD Airspace Websites
 We use DINS but there are some issues with the website, (No graphics!!)
 1255 National Fire Fighting Transponder Code
 Fire Traffic Areas (FTA) - Similar to Class B airspace with defined altitude separation and radio contract
required prior to entry
 Automated Flight Following (AFF.Gov password required for authorized users)
 Valuable in assessing Airspace Usage & Impacts on other National Airspace users
 Google Earth applications
 Benefits of using AFF with Google Earth are valuable with 3D depiction of Temporary Flight Restriction
(TFR) airspace and fire aircraft.
 3D depiction of Special Use airspace including Military Training Routes (MTRs) with actual route width
(boundaries)
 What is the fire doing? (MODIS) provides near real-time infrared heat detection.
 Fire Perimeters that are produced by the fire GIS staff are available with daily updates.
 Airspace Coordinators
 Assist in deconflicting Airspace for Initial Attack
 Assess Fire Perimeters and Develop TFRs for IMTs
 Coordinate/and Consolidate TFRS
 Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) – 14CFR 91.137(a)(2)…
 A “TFR” is a TEMPORARY flight RESTRICTION enacted by the FAA, at the request of a responsible
party, in order to enhance aviation safety. Codified in 14CFR 91.137, 14CFR 91.138, 14CFR 91.141, 14CFR
91.143, 14CFR 91.145 and 99.7
Central Service Area Airspace/Range Council — 28-29 May 2014

 The TFR is the Fire fighting working environment to provide safe environment for operation of disaster
relief aircraft.
 91.137 (a) 2 Exceptions
a. Aircraft is participating in relief activities under the direction of the official in charge of on-scene
emergency response activities
b. Operating under ATC approved IFR flight plan
c. Law Enforcement Aircraft
d. VFR Airport Traffic
e. Accredited Media
 Computer Based Training (Two Modules)
 A-103 Basic Airspace
 A-203 TFRs and NOTAMs
9. MOUs or LOAs - Fire fighting MOUs with major training area like Edwards and Nellis
10. Special Use Airspace (SUA) consists of Prohibited Areas, Restricted Areas, Military Operations Area,
Controlled Firing Areas, Warning Areas, Alert Area, National Security Area and Prohibited Area (PA)
 When viewing all of the special use airspace it is obvious that many wildland fire aviation operations will
conflict with some military training airspace.
11. Additional Airspace Complexities that must be considered for Fire Fighting Operations
 Multiple Air Route Traffic Control Centers may be affected
 Victor Airways and Airport Traffic Airspace
 Glider & Parachute Areas
 Smoke Stack Buildings
 Tethered Aerostats – 18 in the US
 Wind Resource Centers
 13,000+ of California’s Wind Turbines are located in three primary regions: Altamont Pass, Tehachapi
and San Gorgonio.
 Banner Towing Operations
 Electronic News Gathering (NEHA)
12. Flying Near the Border
 We coordinate all aviation operations near the border with Air and Marine Operations Center (AMOC)
13. Major Migratory Flyways - Bird Damage could be SEVERE!
14. Special Conservation Areas Overflights
 Pilots are requested to maintain a minimum altitude of 2,000 (or 3,000) feet above the surface of: National
parks, Monuments, Seashores, Lake shores, Recreation areas, and Scenic river ways
15. How do we organize our Fire Response? Through a systemized Dispatch response which tracks all resources
assigned to an incident.
 National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC/NICC) in Boise, ID
 11 Geographical Area Coordination Centers
 Air Operations Organization
 Unit Aviation Officer
 Aircraft Dispatcher
 Airspace Coordinator
 Air Operations Branch Director (AOBD)
 Air Support Group Supervisor (ASGS)
 Air Tactical Group Supervisor (Air Attack)
 Helibase Manager
16. Current airspace issues:
 Monday thru Friday normal work hours are usually not a problem in contacting Military Schedulers.
 But some numbers in FLIPS are out of date!
 Weekends, after hours and Holidays are a major issue in contacting Military Schedulers to confirm active
routes
 FAA Website not always current on evenings and weekends.
 TFRs on electronic devices are not always current.
Central Service Area Airspace/Range Council — 28-29 May 2014

17. Unmanned Aircraft
 UAS will be a game changer but right now we are not using them on fires.


FS started in UAS Operation in 2004 when a UAS was used in Alaska
In 2007 Global Hawk type system was evaluated.
 The high altitude operations works well by keeping him outside of the fire traffic aircraft.
 Currently Fire Operations are fine with high altitude assets that operate above FL 180.
 Currently the FAA requires a 48 hour lead on where we operate UAS and we do not know where they will be
needed 48 hours ahead.
 The US Forest Service is taking a very conservative approach with an established evaluation of the use and
effectiveness of UAS in the fire environment. For the near future UAS operations will not be conducted by the
Forest Service.
 The Department of Interior that includes the BLM has established three centers of excellence; Alaska, Boise,
and Colorado to evaluate UAS effectiveness. They have flown many flights. There is no effort at this time to
begin UAS flight operations on fires.
 In the future we can expect UAS operations associated with fire.
 CAL Fire was the lead for the RIM Fire and there was a lot of coordination.

D. The Requirement for Training - Mr. Hebner (D3 Air and Space Operations - NGB/A3A)
1. Why Develop Requirements?
 We Didn’t Win World War II Because of Our Blinding Technological Superiority or number of aircraft.
 The German Focke-Wulf 190-D was superior to the British Spitfire and every American fighter prior to
the P51. The P-51 Mustang entered the war in the final year and it only had a 1,500 foot ceiling altitude
advantage.
 The German industry was building thousands of aircraft monthly only months before the end of the war.
 It was the quality of training that provided the advantage
 Operation Bodenplatte, Jan 1945 was the largest Luftwaffe Operation of the war undone by poor
execution and low German pilot skill
a. Allied - 10 killed, 16 shot down uninjured
b. German -143 killed/missing, 70 shot down captured, 21 wounded
c. 9 to 1 kill ratio
 Mariana Turkey Shoot, June 1944
a. Battle of the Philippine Sea – the lopsided outcome attributed to improvements in US pilot training
and tactics
b. 64 to 0 kill ratio in the air
 In Korea - Highly trained American pilots achieved 10-1 kill ratio over the superior Mig 15
2. Why Institutionalize Requirements?
 Viet Nam – the kill ration started at 2 to1 – we had to rediscover the same things…
 Report of the Air-to-Air Missile System Capability Review, the “Ault Report” Nov. 1968
a. Training and Readiness – A key issue in this area is the commitment of fighter squadrons to air-toground missions in Southeast Asia and the consequent dilution of air-to-air training and readiness.
b. Realization of improved aircrew performance should be possible through…more realistic air combat
maneuvering training…
3. Validation of Requirements
 The “Ault Report” led to the creation of “Top Gun” and Red Flag with ACMI
 The Kill Ratio at the end of the war had improved to 10 to 1
 The requirement to train as we fight, to use realistic training made the difference.
4. What Requirements Bought
 The Defense Science Board Task Force on Training Superiority and Training Surprise, Jan. 2001
 “In the last decade we surprised not only others but ourselves with our warfare proficiency. There is
evidence that the culture of our first training revolution is itself trainable. A new enemy might also
capitalize on the new training revolution. Training Superiority is ours to lose and for others to gain.”
5. Maintaining Requirements in Challenging Fiscal Environments
 Quarterly Defense Review (QDR) – Sept 30, 2001
Central Service Area Airspace/Range Council — 28-29 May 2014
12
 The uniquely American Superiority in training is eroding, particularly as evident in the aging
infrastructure and instrumentation of U.S. training ranges.
 Defense Planning Document 2004-2009
 Comprehensive and realistic combat training is an asymmetric advantage for US military forces that
contribute more to effective combat power than any single new system.
6. Why We Still Need to Train to the Most Stringent Requirements
 Cope India ‘04 –
 “the US F-15C’s were defeated more than 90% of the time…” (Feb 26 House Appropriations
Subcommittee)
 “Another surprise was the quality of training the Indian Pilots received. USAF fighter pilots log
about 250 flight hours a year. The Indian fighter pilots said they’ve been getting as many as 300 flying
hours per year and that the majority of those hours were spent in full-up training.
 In most USAF aerial combat training, the service has “dumbed down” adversarial equipment and training
to simulate what it believed to be the level of enemy competence.” (Air Force Magazine, July 2004 vol. 87
no. 7)
7. Training can be scalable
 In golf:
 sometimes you need the putting green
 Sometimes the driving range
 And sometimes an entire course
8. Airspace Requirements Development—The Whole Enchilada and...Scalability
 Sentry Savannah is an example of the graduate level training we need to maintain our combat advantage.
Large Force Exercise (LFE)
9. Defending Requirements - “If the minimum wasn’t good enough, it wouldn’t be the minimum” may be
accurate for PT and PME Testing but…
 Is the minimum Good Enough?
 If it fills RAP squares is it good training?
 Does it provide Realistic Mission Oriented Training?
 Do we need to “train as we fight”?
10. Flying a Tactical Aircraft… is not like riding a Bike
 The Busy Cockpit - Heads Up Display of:
Central Service Area Airspace/Range Council — 28-29 May 2014
13

 Airspeed, Heading, Altitude, Angle of Attack, Radar Operation and Missile Parameters, Steer Point,
Radio Frequencies…Then add:
 Formation Flying and Flight Maneuver for Tactical Positioning
 Threat Engagement
 Data Link Displays
 Opposition Aircraft – Missile Employment and Defensive Tactics
 GCI / AWACS
 Communications and Radar Jamming
 Targeting Pod and Target Identification
 Laser Designator
 Range Procedures
Busy Radio...Busy Mission...
E. Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Update FAA - Ms. Jackson (Manager, UAS Tactical Operations Section)
has taken over from Doug Gould.
1. FAA Vision for UAS Integration - Safe, efficient, and timely integration of UAS into the airspace
 Safe - Because safety is the FAA’s primary mission
 Efficient - FAA is committed to reduce delays and increase system reliability
 Timely - FAA is dedicated to supporting this exciting new technology
2. FAA UAS Organization - FAA UAS Integration Office
 To promote UAS-NAS integration, the FAA established a division-level organization reporting to the
Director of Flight Standards
 Single executive focal point
 Matrixed organization that combined former Air Traffic and Flight Standards UAS offices
 Standup complete May 2013
3. The FAA’s UAS Roles
 FAA is a Regulator - Must assure the safety of all aircraft, people, and property (safety is first)
 The FAA Flight Standards District Offices (FSDO) are tracking unauthorized operations.
 FAA is a Service Provider - Must ensure the safety and efficiency of all the National Airspace System and
international airspace delegated to U.S. (safe separation between aircraft)
 Insure that operators have a valid method of operations.
 Successful UAS integration requires BOTH roles - FAA has established a single integration office because it
had to do both areas of responsibility.
4. Getting to Integration
 Today - Accommodation  Up until last year “integration” was all about public (governmental) aircraft accommodation via
Certificates of Waiver or Authorization (COA)
 In August 2012, the FAA received the first civil certification application; once the certification process
has been put to the test, modified for UAS, and the first civil UAS is certified, it will open up another avenue
for NAS access
 Med-term - Transition to NAS Integration  Releasing and then finalizing the small UAS rule
 Implementing NAS Voice System
 Standardizing procedures
 Long-term - Integration into the NextGen NAS
5. UAS Integration – Critical Issues
 There are many critical integration issues and See and Avoid (Sense and Avoid) is just one of them.
 The Current State is via Individual COA, the future integration will achieve "File and Fly"
 NSA Architecture: Lost Link Procedures, Sense and Avoid and ATC Procedures
a. FAR 91.113 requires pilots to “see and avoid” interpreted as “eyeballs only”
 UAS Operations: Link Reliability and UAS Reliability
a. Initial DoD UAS were not up to reliability of manned aircraft and posed risk to other aircraft and
people on the ground)
Central Service Area Airspace/Range Council — 28-29 May 2014
14

Regulatory Issues: Certification, Standards and Training
a. Certification Standards needed for unique aspects of UAS
(1). Electronic Sense and Avoid (Detect and Avoid - 91.113)
(2). A/G command and control
(a). Safety spectrum use
(b). Information security
(c). Redundancy
b. Requirement for NextGen-NAS Voice System - What automation is needed?
c. Operations issues w / speed, duration, Lost Link? - Wake turbulence
d. Spectrum allocated (MLS-C band, DME-L band)
(1). Not characterized
(2). Under pressure to sell
e. Pilot standards. Are there limitations on manned aircraft regulations that will not apply to UAS?
6. Who is Operating UAS in the National Airspace System (NAS)?
 Public
 Most operators are US Federal agencies with aviation programs
 Department of Defense is a major player – self certify
 NASA is an operator AND conducts UAS research
 Public universities – Attorney General letter
 Must be conducting governmental function
 Law Enforcement
 This area is expected to grow significantly
 Civil
 All experimental airframe manufacturing and testing
 Special AW for R&D, Crew training, market surveys
 FAA issues AW certificate
 FAA has approved limited small UAS commercial operations in Arctic
7. Where are UAS Operating?
 UAS are operated in most classes of airspace (not in Class B and the airspace directly underneath it due to
traffic density, under exceptional circumstances)
 Flight over populated areas must be approved on a case-by-case basis
 No COA required for restricted, warning and prohibited areas
8. Types of UAS Authorization
 Public (governmental)
 Activities completely contained in active Special Use Airspace (Restricted and Warning Areas)
 Certificate of Authorization or Waiver (COA)
 Civil (non-governmental)
 Type Certifications
 Existing type certifications with Insitu (Boeing) and Aerovironment
 Both small UAS
 May be used for commercial operations
 Special Airworthiness Certificate in the Experimental Category and Special Flight Permits for production
flight testing
 Currently used for development, marketing and research
 Rules limit commercial use
 Private recreational use (toys, model aircraft)
9. Arctic UAS Language in the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA)
Public Law 112-95, Section 332(d)(1-3)
 …“Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall develop a plan and
initiate a process to work with relevant Federal agencies and national and international communities to designate
permanent areas in the Arctic where small unmanned aircraft may operate 24 hours per day for research and
commercial purposes”…
10. The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) stated: “…the Administrator shall establish a
program to integrate unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace system at six test ranges…”
