MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
SUBJECT: Proceedings – Air Force Southern-Southwest Region
Airspace/Range Council – Management Session
1. GENERAL
The Air Force Southern-Southwest Region Airspace/Range Council – Management Session
began at 1:00 p.m. on April 16, 2003 at the Pensacola Hilton Hotel, Pensacola Beach, FL.
The National Park Service (NPS) hosted the meeting and provided excellent support.
2. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS FOR APRIL 16, 2003
A. Opening Remarks
Brigadier General Veillon (Assistant Adjutant General for Air/Louisiana Air National
Guard) and Colonel Wilson (Headquarters U.S. Air Force, Deputy Associate Director for
Ranges and Airspace), the Council Co-Chairmen, welcomed everyone, and thanked the
National Park Service for hosting this meeting. Colonel Wilson introduced Ms. Kelson
(Gulf Shores National Seashore/National Park Service) who in turn welcomed everyone
and gave a brief overview of park visitation opportunities in the area. General Veillon
added that our airspace and ranges were precious resources. We need to look at better
ways to use them and partner with other agencies such as NPS.
Mr. Planzer (HQ AF/XOO-CA) is about to retire and Mr. Pease (HQ USAF Associate
Director for Ranges and Airspace) will be the Acting Associate Director for Civil
Aviation. Colonel Wilson explained the purpose of this meeting was to open and
maintain lines of communications between DoD and other agencies.
B. National Overview
Colonel Wilson said that he was here representing Mr. Pease who could not attend due to
other commitments. He pointed out that charts were around the room that depicted the
airspace used by the military in this region. Other charts provide a comparison to
population and federal lands and civilian air traffic. A new chart we have not had in the
past is the EPA Regions and Clean Air Acts Areas of Non-Attainment. He described the
realignment of the Airspace/Range Council regions. The state of New Mexico has been
aligned with the Western Pacific Region and the remaining states in the Southwest
Region join the Southern Region as one combined region. The state of Virginia has also
been aligned with the large Southern-Southwest Region. Colonel Wilson pointed out the
significance of the White Sands Missile Range airspace and the impact it has on the flight
patterns of civilian aircraft.
Colonel Wilson presented a video clip showing training weapons delivery and pre- and
post-strike photos from an Afghanistan mission. The military looks at training ranges as

places to train by finding specific targets on the ground and delivering real or inert
practice munitions precisely on the target. Other people view the ranges as areas where
commercial and recreational activities can be carried on or endangered species can be
protected. Legislation affecting the use of land such as military weapons ranges has been
growing rapidly over the past few years.
To meet the requirements set out in the legislation, the weapons delivery ranges have
been modified to comply while providing improved training opportunities for our
aircrew. Ranges need realistic and, where possible, recyclable targets. New targets are
being developed that will reduce the impact on rangeland and species that inhabit that
land.
Range residue is now managed IAW the Unexploded Ordinance (UXO) / Range Residue
Management Plan. The Air Force has numerous contractors working to maintain ranges
according to the regulations. Claiborne Range is a great example of an efficient range
clearance and range residue disposal. New training munitions are being created to lessen
the impact on the range property and ease the cleanup process. The Air Force is
committed to an Outreach Program that works within the community to create
partnerships to enhance the operations at the range while meeting the needs of the public
for access to the land for their purposes.
Air Force and National Park Service Sourcebooks are being developed using a focus
group composed of members of the AF and the NPS with the National Parks
Conservation Association participating. The AF element was comprised of
representatives from every level. The Sourcebook for the Western Pacific Region has
been published and copies can be obtained through Colonel Wilson’s office. The
Sourcebook contains “Success Stories” that illustrate how the two missions can be
accomplished through collaboration and placing both parties in a mutually beneficial
situation. Included for 15 Air Force installations are details on: Points of Contact;
Airspace, with scheduled hours; T&E species; and Aircraft operations. For each Special
Use Airspace, the NPS Units under or near [within 20 miles] are listed. One of those
success stories is the modification of the military overflights of Big Bend National Park
that greatly reduced noise impact on the park.
Airspace and range training spaces utilized by DoD are vitally important to the military
and civilian populace.
C. OSD Outreach
Ms. Larkin (OSD/USD [R]) expressed her satisfaction with the outreach efforts of DoD
elements throughout the country.
Encroachment from environmental sources, frequency spectrum management, population
growth and airspace restrictions are very big problems for DoD operational training
ranges. OSD is trying to get legislative clarification from some environmental laws.
Southern and Southwest Regions Airspace/Range Council – Management Session - April 16-17, 2003

These include the Endangered Species Act, the Marine Mammal Protection Act, the
Clean Air Act and both RCRA and CERCLA.
Last year, Congress passed three of the legislative requests on this issue. Two of these
concerned the ability to enter into conservation easement agreements with third parties.
Historically, Congress has controlled any land acquisition or conveyance, so this is
landmark legislation that should allow some relief for our urban sprawl issues. Section
2812 concerns Land Conveyance and states that if land is no longer required, DoD can
find a third party assumption as long as the future use will be for conservation. Section
2811 allows DoD authority to acquire buffer land easements for conservations purposes
in order to minimize impacts of encroachment. This can be accomplished by entering
into partnerships with third parties
The third piece of legislation passed last year was an exemption from the Migratory Bird
Treaty Act for military readiness activities.
In summary, Ms. Larkin described this years’s Readiness and Range Preservation
Initiative, an effort by DoD to mitigate the impact of several environmental laws on
training and testing. A significant challenge is to quantify those impacts. More
information may be found at

D. Unit Operations Briefings
71st Flying Training Wing, Vance AFB, OK - Captain Pinchak (71 OSS/OSOP)
showed a short video illustrating flying training activities at Vance AFB. Vance trains
over 450 pilots a year, or 25 percent of all new pilots, including those from other
services.
ATC radar service is also provided by Vance and serves surrounding airports, but is
being hampered by manpower shortages. Radar service hours have been reduced as a
result.
Vance trains in T-37, T-38, and T-1 aircraft for an average of over 300 sorties a day.
Slides were shown listing the different airspace segments available for daily training.
This also includes 20 low-level training routes and air refueling routes.
Future changes to the Vance environment are introduction of the T-38C and the
turboprop T-6 to replace the aging T-37 trainers. Global Positioning System (GPS)
approaches are being developed at Vance, accompanied by associated Letters of
Agreement (LOA) and coordination with outside and other agencies.

The Vance Military Operations Areas (MOA) are being encroached by the FAA proposal
to run a corridor through the MOA. New use of other MOAs in the area will be
necessary to meet training requirements.
12th Flying Training Wing, Randolph AFB, TX – Ms. Taylor (12 OSS/OSOA). Five
aircraft types are used at Randolph AFB for training. They are the T-6, T-37, T-38, T-1,
and T-43. FAA facilities utilized by Randolph pilots include Houston Air Route Traffic
Control Center (ARTCC), San Antonio Tower/TRACON, San Antonio Flight Standards
Agency, and San Antonio Flight Service Station. Randolph has had several airspace
denial problems in the past; however, letters to the FAA managers have helped resolve
many of these problems.
A new project by the FAA termed HAATS (Houston Area Air Traffic System) will have
a negative impact on Randolph 1A MOA and some King MOAs. Revisions to these
MOAs are under study and assumption of scheduling for King 5 MOA is a possibility.
Two auxiliary airfields are utilized, Sequin and Hondo. Hondo is encroached due to
combined use with civilian traffic and Federal Aviation Regulations for non-controlled
airports. Some Hondo traffic patterns are not standard and waivers to the regulations
have been requested. Long-term solutions are to extend runway 17R and select another
airport for exclusive use by the T-6 aircraft.
97th Air Mobility Wing, Altus AFB, OK - Mr. Winters (97 OSS/DOA). After a review
of the 97 Air Mobility Wing (AMW) mission statement, Mr. Winters explained that they
support aircrew training for KC-135, C-17, and C-5 aircraft. The 97 AMW provides
combat ready personnel to augment worldwide contingencies.
Aircraft from Altus fly in Low Altitude Tactical Navigation Areas (LATN), remaining at
or below 250 Knots (approximately 287 mph) below ten thousand feet. Therefore, there
is no requirement for Military Operations Areas . The unit’s LATN areas cover
approximately 18,000 square miles over a two state area that is sparsely populated with
flat terrain.
Their biggest challenge for the next 10 or 11 months will be using other airfields for
instrument training due to a large construction project on the main Altus instrument
runway. Scheduling will also be a major consideration. Altus airspace cannot be
overused because of a manpower problem. A C-17 plus-up project will require better
radar coverage on some low level routes.
80th Flying Training Wing, Sheppard AFB, TX - Captain Cavazos (80 OSS/DOOA).
The 80 FTW hosts pilot trainees from approximately 20 different countries. It is the
largest schoolhouse of its type in the Air Force. The FAA does a good job of
understanding the many different accents and dialects.
Southern and Southwest Regions Airspace/Range Council – Management Session - April 16-17, 2003

A total of over 76,000 flying hours were flown last year by T-37, T-38 and AT-38
aircraft. Captain Cavazos reviewed the number of sorties and types of aircraft by
squadron.
The majority of the airspace used for training is in Texas and southern Oklahoma with
very few airspace denials from the FAA. Sheppard will eventually replace the aging T37 trainers with the new turboprop T-6 “Texan” and will also receive the T-38C. Money
for these aircraft will come from various countries.
Pilots trained at Sheppard have flown combat missions in Operation Desert Storm,
Bosnia, Iraq, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Operation Noble Eagle in the United States. The
bottom line is: increased interoperability equals enhanced allied airpower capability.
Gulfport Combat Readiness Training Center - Lt Col Hester. Colonel Hester is the
president of the Air National Guard CRTC Council. Lt Col Hester explained the original
mission of the ANG CRTCs was to support large exercises. There are four ANG CRTCs
in the U.S. and two of them in the Southern–Southwest Region at Savannah, GA, and
Gulfport, MS. The CRTCs have air-to-ground gunnery ranges, Air Traffic Control
facilities, Air Combat Training Ranges, and drop zones, to mention just a few training
support capabilities. CRTCs also support other types of joint training, drug interdiction
training, over water training, and virtual training.
An Air Traffic Control Assigned Airspace (ATCAA) over the Gulf of Mexico scheduled
by the Gulfport CRTC needs to be modified to better accommodate over 4,000 helicopter
movements to offshore oil rigs daily and align with adjoining Eglin AFB airspace. A
small adjustment to the restricted airspace associated with Shelby Range is needed to
allow High Altitude Release Bomb events.
Jackson, MS, home to the ANG’s 172nd Airlift Wing, is converting from C-141s to C17s. The environmental studies are complete and the first aircraft should arrive in
February 2004. An auxiliary airfield will be built on Army land and run by the Shelby
Range personnel.
46th Test Wing, Eglin AFB, FL - Mr. Roswell (46 OSS/OSCM). The Navy will be
utilizing existing airspace and ranges at Eglin AFB since Vieques Range in Puerto Rico
closed 1 May 03. Their use is getting to be routine. US Marines Amphibious Ready
Group will exercise in the Eglin area in Dec 03 and there is an ongoing environmental
study for this action.
Manpower reductions are reflected in less range time available for users. The tower at
Eglin, however, is available 24/7. Mr. Roswell provided a short film clip of the large
21,000-pound bomb tested at Eglin for later successful use in the Iraq conflict.
Combined efforts of the Special Forces, Air Force Research Laboratory, and Test Wing
at Eglin were responsible for the success of this new weapon.
Southern and Southwest Regions Airspace/Range Council – Management Session - April 16-17, 2003

Eglin AFB is the largest Air Force base in the world with 128,000 square miles of
airspace and 9 restricted areas. Corridors and local procedures provide access to local
area airports. A proposed move of the Panama City Airport to another location will put a
lot of pressure on existing Eglin airspace. Eglin has a public shooting range safety hazard
adjacent to their joint use airport. Base personnel continue to work that issue.
347th Rescue Wing, Moody AFB, GA. (347 Rescue Wing) – (Headquarters, Air Combat
Command (ACC), Ranges and Airspace (DORA) requested the briefing for the 347
Rescue Wing be included in the minutes, although not presented during this session.)
The mission of the 347 RW is to organize, train, and employ a combat ready, HC-130,
HH-60 rescue wing, consisting of 3,400 military and civilian personnel, including Avon
Park Range in Florida. The Wing hosts the 479th Flying Training Group (AETC) and the
820th Security Forces Group (ACC). The 347th executes worldwide peacetime and
Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) operations in support of the humanitarian and US
national security interests.
The Wing is equipped with HC-130, T-6, H-60 helicopters, and T-38C aircraft. Airspace
used by the Wing is comprised of a combination of LATN area, Grand Bay Range, and
MOAs and Military Training Routes (MTR) located in southern Georgia, central Georgia
and northern Florida.
552nd Air Control Wing, Tinker AFB, OK – Mr. Wood (552 OSS/OSOR). The 552nd
operates 29 E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft. Activated in
1976, the Wing supports peacetime and military operations around the world. They began
supporting counter drug operations in 1986. They have been supporting Homeland
Defense missions continuously since September 2001. Wing aircraft provide surveillance
of airborne threats and control air intercept assets.
E. Tyndall F/A-22 Overview and Requirements
Major Schoeppner (F-22 Program Manager/Tyndall AFB, FL) – The F/A-22 is a result
of taking a lot of lessons learned and putting them into one airframe. The airplane
incorporates stealth, integrated avionics, maneuverability, and supercruise to offer a
balanced design that provides maximum performance. Stealth characteristics give a
decided tactical advantage and must be designed from the start.
The F/A-22 is a flying sensor platform containing sensors for radar detection, missile
launch, communications, and radar warnings. Datalinks are possible with airborne
platforms such as the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft and
ground sources. Primarily designed as an air-to-air fighter, the F/A-22 just as easily
adapts to the air-to-ground role.
Supercruise allows the aircraft to fly supersonically for extended periods of time. This
characteristic permits the F/A-22 to rapidly range the battlefield, increase weapons
Southern and Southwest Regions Airspace/Range Council – Management Session - April 16-17, 2003
6
employment envelopes, and reduces the Surface-to-Air- Missile (SAM) engagement
envelope. Thrust vectoring increases maneuverability and survivability.
All these desirable characteristics will allow us to use fewer aircraft to accomplish more
than in the past with less capable aircraft. Weapons and aircraft capabilities of current F15 air dominance fighters are pretty much on par with former Soviet Union aircraft. The
F/A-22 on the other hand is much more capable than any other known adversary aircraft.
It can employ standoff launch and leave tactics without ever being seen by the opposing
fighters. These same characteristics will permit similar results when engaging ground
targets.
Delivery of the first F/A-22 to Tyndall AFB, FL is expected in August 2003. F/A-22s at
Tyndall will be used for fighter upgrade training. They will share Tyndall’s airspace and
responsibilities while the F-15 inventory will gradually be reduced. This may not occur
for at least ten or more years. This unique mix of aircraft and capabilities will create
airspace issues requiring resolution without mission or training degradation.
Major Schoeppner reviewed manpower requirements for the new F/A-22 addition to the
Tyndall mix. Many of the new manpower slots will be gained by training NonCommissioned Officers (NCO) at Tyndall for the new aircraft and missions.
There is no two-seat version of the F/A-22 so much of the preliminary training is
accomplished by state of the art simulators utilizing high fidelity device capabilities.
Simulation will be available for takeoffs, instruments, emergency procedures, landings,
formation work, basic flight maneuvers, and combat training with up to four versus four
aircraft.
A lot of construction is underway at Tyndall to support the new airplane and training
mission. Construction includes a new academics/simulator building, fighter squadron
building, training detachment building, modifications to Hangar 4, Low Observables
(LO) and Composite repair facility, and new fuel barn.
Gulf of Mexico airspace will need certain modifications to permit realistic weapons and
flight training for the F/A-22. Negotiations are ongoing with the FAA to establish
altitude reservation (ALTRV) airspace over the center and eastern gulf.
F. NPS Unit Briefings
Gulf Islands National Seashore - Mr. Aymond (NPS) gave a comprehensive overview
of the history of Pensacola.


1559 was the first colonial settlement of the Pensacola area.
In 1699 the Spaniards returned, building a fort at present day site of NASP.
During 1719 the French took control of the fort area.
The French burned the fort three years later.
Spanish returned in the 1720s, establishing a settlement on Santa Rosa Island.

A large storm wiped out the area in the 1750s.
In 1763 the British received the Florida Territory in the Treaty of Paris.
In 1781 the Spanish returned and laid siege, capturing Pensacola.
Spain was paid five million dollars for the Florida territory coastline in 1821.
The Navy yard was finished in 1825.
Fort Pickens, Fort McRee and Fort Barrancas were built from 1829 - 1844 to
prevent future attacks on Pensacola.
 The Civil War saw the heaviest fighting for crucial ports.
 Geronimo was imprisoned at Ft. Pickens from 1886 to 1888.
 Ft. Pickens became a State Park in 1947.
 In 1971 Gulf Islands National Seashore was created to protect the outstanding
natural and cultural resources of the Northern Gulf Coast.
Mr. Nicholas (Nature Reserve Manager/National Seashore Biologist) spoke of the
sensitivity of shore birds to predators and helicopter traffic. The birds will leave their eggs
unprotected if frightened off the nest by predators and helicopters.
The National Seashore Units Parks extend from Florida to Mississippi and are subject to
many military overflights. Pensacola Naval Air Station (NAS) has a lot of air traffic
because it is a pilot training facility. Helicopters based at Pensacola NAS and elsewhere
were asked two to three years ago to remain at least 500 feet off the ground and ½ mile
off shore. There was an effort at that time to get the word out that overflights do affect
the wildlife along the shoreline. Mr. Nicholas produced a recent picture of a civilian
helicopter flying over the shoreline at less than 500 feet.
Colonel Wilson introduced Mr. Oppermann (NPS Consultant). Mr. Oppermann thanked
all National Seashores personnel for their presentations as well as Colonel Wilson and
others for hosting and managing the meetings. He went on to say that there were many
success stories that have come out of meetings such as these and that military participants
had always been interested in the NPS issues. The NPS has hosted two such meetings
this year.
G. Florida Department of Forestry
Mr. Duty (Florida Department of Forestry) –There is a lot of military airspace in Florida
and interface with military units is common. Since 1998 there have been a lot of
wildland fires in Florida. One season alone used 167 aircraft to fight fires. His
department learned a lot from those experiences.
Helicopters seem to be very effective in Florida. Fire helicopters normally operate at 500
feet or lower around the fires. Air Supervisor aircraft will operate at 1,000 feet or higher
if air tankers are used.
Cooperation with DoD has been excellent. New legislation gives the Forestry
Department control over all aircraft associated with fire suppression to include police and
news helicopters. Daily information about status of fires is available at www.nifc.gov.

H. Breakout Sessions for Tomorrow
Colonel Wilson identified two possible breakout sessions for the next day. Savannah
CRTC personnel needed a breakout and First Air Force needed a breakout to discuss realtime management of special use airspace.
3. SESSION WRAP UP
General Veillon and Colonel Wilson adjourned the session at 4:30 p.m.
4. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS – APRIL 17, 2003
General Veillon and Colonel Wilson welcomed everyone back at 8:00am. Colonel Wilson
commented on the previous night’s beautiful NPS sponsored “moon walk.” Colonel Wilson
noted that Mr. Hicks and the Southeast Air Defense Sector at Tyndall AFB would host the
Southern-Southwest Region Airspace/Range Executive Council in September. The Louisiana
Air National Guard has offered to host the next Management Council meeting in New
Orleans, in April 2004.
A. Military Representatives to the FAA – Perspectives/Issues
CW5 Evans (Department of the Army Regional Representative, Southern FAA
Region/ASO-920) pointed out that the DARR had oversight of 14 Active Army
installations, 4 Army National Guard units, 13 Army Air Fields, and numerous other
Army-related facilities in the Southern Region.
His office also oversaw 45 restricted areas, 11 MOAs, 7 Controlled Firing Areas (CFA),
and 2 Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) areas. Overall there are 108 restricted areas,
86 MOAs, 10 Warning Areas, and 17 CFAs managed by DoD in the Southern Region.
Reporting of scheduled airspace versus utilized airspace in the region was good.
Several airspace and range issues are being worked. The 101st Airborne Division in
cooperation with the Air Force is proposing airspace shelving in the area of Ft Campbell,
KY. Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) is a vital part of the program. 90 such
vehicles are in operation and transit from Ft. Campbell’s airfield to Special Use Airspace
is a problem.
C-130 Assault Strip actions are expanding daily. A challenge exists from a proposal to
make Liberty County – Wright Army Airfield a joint use facility. Camp Shelby Range is
proposing a slight modification to Restricted Area 4401 to accommodate high altitude
bombing events. A C-17 Assault Strip has been approved for the Camp Shelby training
area and Letters of Agreement are in the draft stages for off range traffic patterns.
There appears to be a conflict between the Salinas 1 and 2 MOAs and certain restricted
areas. The Dahlongea Training Airspace Initiative for Camp Merrill package has been
Southern and Southwest Regions Airspace/Range Council – Management Session - April 16-17, 2003

completed for day and Night Vision Device training. Problems exist with the FAA
concerning Visual Flight Rules (VFR) aerial refueling routes in Ft Campbell, KY and
Hunter AAF, GA.
Construction of communications towers and other tall structures continue to be a
problem, especially for helicopters. The Army is trying to simplify acquisition of Small
Arms Range Safety Areas (SARSA) and CFAs. Noise problems are systematic and the
Army seems to be the first one called. Utilize your unit Public Affairs Officers. CW5
Evans would like to know if anyone had any UAV activities that the Army might be
know about. Environmental studies continue to be a problem and a key to success is to
get the regional milreps involved early on in the process.
Major Murray (Air Force Representative – FAA Southern Region/ASO 910) – There is
a lot of interservice communication and cooperation necessary to support the training
needs of DoD.
A request is ongoing for extended hours in Bulldog and Gamecock MOAs and the
proposals have been completed at Headquarters FAA. The Coastal MOA proposal is at
FAA Southern Region Headquarters. A modification to Restricted Area 3007 is on hold
until Coastal MOA is finalized. The FAA held on to Coastal for over three years, which
necessitated the need for an environmental update. The proposal also had to be recircularized throughout the aviation community and is currently at the FAA Southern
Region.
The Navy needs training space to replace loss of their Vieques Range in Puerto Rico. An
Overarching Range Cooperative Agreement (ORCA) has been developed between the
Navy, Air Force, and Marines to fulfill the Navy training requirements. Carrier Groups
are required to recertify before deployments. Many training assets in the Southeastern
US will be used to satisfy this requirement.
The Lights-Out in MOAs exemption was granted to the Air Force on January 24, 2003
and is good for only two years. Approximately 90 MOAs will be included in the
exemption that applies to only Air Force, Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve
Command units. An exception is provided for joint exercises. Airports within a 100mile radius of affected MOAs will be briefed about Lights-Out procedures. A Notice to
Airmen (NOTAM) will be issued 48 hours prior to scheduled use of a MOA for LightsOut training. Ground radars or onboard radars will used to provide aircraft identification
and separation. Procedures to advise transiting aircraft about the MOA status are under
development.
Overall utilization reporting of Special Use Airspace is good within the FAA Southern
Region. Units are encouraged to assure accuracy of their reporting, especially altitudes
and hours of use. If your unit deploys and you schedule Special Use Airspace, you
should let the users of that airspace know in advance.

Bases scheduled to have an airshow with aerial demonstrations need to contact the local
FSDO as soon as possible to request appropriate waivers. Bases having the Thunderbirds
participating in their airshow require a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR). TFR request
to be submitted to the local AFREP office at HQ FAA Southern Region NLT 45 days
from the event.
Commander Ayers (FAA Southern Region NAVREP/ASO 930) – A COMPTUEX
typically will last for approximately 30-40 days. Vieques Range by contrast was used
approximately 300 days a year. We can expect more range requests from the Navy.
Funnel requests to Commander Ayres, especially for 2 and 3-day exercises. Commander
Ayres will contact Captain Cantrell (Navy Liaison to Eglin AFB) for coordination.
Lt Col Wrice (Southern Region Marine Rep to Southern Region) identified himself as
the point of contact for Marine activities in the Southern Region.
B. AOPA Issues and Perspectives
Mr. Hart. The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association was founded in 1939 as a nonprofit member-driven association. AOPA attempts to represent the best interests of
General Aviation. Their goal is to make aviation safe, fun and accessible to the public.
Pilot education web sites are available as well as other valuable resources. AOPA also
sponsors aviation programs intended to keep insurance rates down. There are over
395,000 members now and the goal is to achieve 400,000. Membership is made up of a
variety of backgrounds and experience levels. Half of the members are aircraft owners,
half hold instrument tickets, and approximately one third hold commercial or ATP
tickets.
General aviation is a broad category that includes almost all flight activities except
military and air carriers. Corporate, agricultural, flight instruction, medical transport, and
recreational activities are but a few categories represented in GA. Many medical
transport flights are by volunteer pilots. GA has an increasing role in producing pilots for
the US. GA provides over 637,000 jobs and annual revenues of approximately 64.5
billion dollars.
AOPA represents GA interests in Special Use Airspace. They ask for fair and equitable
access to SUA, to be involved in the design and utilization of SUA, and the ability to
promote awareness of the unique operational demands and limitations of the GA
community. Specifically, AOPA would like availability of preflight and real-time
information of SUA. AOPA would like to see SAMS integrated into a web-based
resource. SAMS is good but not all FAA Air Route Traffic Control Centers use it.
Suggested improvements for the aviation community include web-based technologies as
an important first step. For instance, AOPA is urging the FAA to post Temporary Flight
Restrictions graphically. We need to get information to the Flight Service Stations for
more current information availability to the aviation community. Frequencies should be
Southern and Southwest Regions Airspace/Range Council – Management Session - April 16-17, 2003

posted on aeronautical charts. We need to leverage outside resources to communicate our
activities.
Air traffic is predicted to double by 2015. General aviation will continue to play an
important role in the US economy. Collaborative management of resources will increase
in importance. Mr. Hart encouraged communication about SUA changes. He also would
like a heads-up call before actions are listed in the Federal Register and environmental
process. Open dialogue is the key in maximizing efficient use of SUA. We need to
avoid looking at each other as roadblocks. Mr. Hart said he is willing to work with his
military counterparts to identify solutions to mutual problems.
B. FAA Perspectives
Mr. Williams (Military Operations Specialist/Jacksonville FAA ARTCC). Mr.
Williams’ comments are a reflection of his opinion and not necessarily that of the FAA.
Jacksonville Center controls 60 percent of all SUA in the US. Several associated
Approach Control agencies are tied into this complex Southeastern US airspace system.
Jacksonville is only one of a few ARTCCs that have an MOS position. The biggest
challenge is efficient use of airspace by all players. The National Airspace Re-Design
(NAR) will be a significant challenge and real-time management of SUA will be very
important.
Jacksonville Center was a leader in real-time management of special use airspace and
such procedures needs to be implemented elsewhere. Mr. Williams said he felt very
fortunate to work with the military and military representatives to the FAA.
Discussion: Real-time activation of SUA may not be standard with all ARTCCs. Mr.
Williams said that a controller’s workload was actually easier if he had real-time
information concerning the status of SUA. Letters of Agreement (LOA) can define realtime activation of SUA.
Mr. Yadouga (FAA Southwest Region, Environmental/Airspace). Units should assure
environmental information about airspace is current to include types of aircraft to be
using the airspace, times of use, and number of flights. Make sure the airspace proposals
are the same as listed in FAA Handbook 7400.2. The airspace actions at Claiborne are
looking good.
C. Major Command Issues and Status Updates
ANG – Mr. Hart (AOPA) would like to be involved in the Coastal MOA breakout
session
Mr. Roberts (HQ ACC/DORA) publicly thanked Mr. Williams from Jacksonville Center
for his contributions to the military and the work he has done on the Navy COMPTUEX
exercises. Mr. Williams is the key FAA member writing the COMPTUEX airspace/ATC
Southern and Southwest Regions Airspace/Range Council – Management Session - April 16-17, 2003
12
letter of agreement annexes. Mr. Roberts said the Overarching Range Cooperative
Agreement, ORCA, initially was a bilateral agreement between the Air Force and Navy,
but is now trilateral with the addition of the Marines. The Chief of Staff of the Air Force
has signed the ORCA; the Chief of Naval Operations and Commandant of the Marine
Corps are next to sign.
D. National Park Services Perspectives
Mr. Oppermann (Consultant, NPS) thanked everyone for attending and presented a new
interpretive video on the pervasiveness of noise in urban environments contrasted with
the sounds of nature. The National Parks can be a refuge from noise and places where we
can experience the tranquility and solitude that is becoming harder to find.
Mr. Oppermann recognized Mr. MacLane (SEA, Inc) for his contributions as the former
Co-Chairman of the Southern Region Airspace and Range Council and the Co-Chairman
of the National Airspace/Range Executive Council. Mr. Oppermann also commented
favorably on the regional councils and highlighted the value of having other agencies,
such as AOPA, involved in the process. Lt Col Kesler (Commander, 334th Training
Squadron) was recognized for his past support of the process while in HQ AF/XOOR and
his continuing contributions to the support of airspace and range issues.
In 1987, Congress, led by Senator John McCain of Arizona, enacted the National Parks
Overflights Act. That Act required the NPS and the FAA to work together to
substantially restore natural quiet at the Grand Canyon and to determine the effects of
commercial air tours on parks throughout the system. The National Parks Air Tour
Management Act of 2000 provides for the regulation of commercial air tours throughout
the national park system. That Act is still in the process of being implemented.
Mr. Oppermann noted that in November of 2000 the National Park Service established
the Soundscapes Program Center as a new headquarters office based in Fort Collins,
Colorado. The Center manager is Marv Jensen, who has participated in a number of Air
Force regional meetings. The establishment of the Center symbolized the NPS
commitment to preserving park “soundscapes.” The Center provides advice, guidance
and technical assistance to NPS headquarters, regional offices and parks in soundscape
management.
The program’s current top priority is to work with the FAA to implement the National
Parks Air Tour Management Act of 2000. Congress affirmed in the Act that the FAA was
responsible for airspace and that the Park Service was responsible for preserving park
resources and values. The two agencies are required to jointly develop an air tour
management plan (ATMP) for every park where air tours exist or are proposed, and were
given two years to comply with the legislation by developing ATMPs for roughly 100
parks (up from the two agencies’ earlier estimate of 50 to 60 parks). The ATMP will fall
under the “umbrella” of a park’s general management plan (GMP), and, ideally, under the
park’s soundscapes management plan (SMP), which will consider noise generated from
all sources, such as snowmobiles, watercraft, park vehicles, and aircraft.

The Park Service has a statutory responsibility to protect park resources and values
unimpaired while providing for visitor enjoyment and the sound of nature are among
those resources or values. Visitors have a reasonable expectation of experiencing
tranquility, serenity, peace and solitude in certain park areas and the NPS is determined to
continue providing that opportunity.
As for military overflight issues, surveys of park managers have consistently indicated
that about 40% of the 387 units have concerns about actual or potential military
overflight issues, and roughly that percentage of parks lie under or within 10 miles of
military training routes (MTRs) or military operations areas (MOAs). This is why the
Park Service has actively participated in these regional meetings since 1995. The Park
Service and the Air Force have developed a special kind of working relationship, as
exemplified by the fact that the NPS has now hosted two Air Force regional meetings in
2003 (this one and the Western Pacific Region meeting at the Presidio of San Francisco
in January), and a total of four since 1997.
The two agencies recently completed work on a joint initiative to develop a
communication sourcebook in the Western Pacific Region (“WestPac”). The sourcebook,
which was designed to enhance communication between the Air Force and the NPS,
includes four chapters which contain important information about the missions and
histories of both agencies, and a fifth chapter with color GIS maps and narrative
information on all of the AF installations and NPS units in the region. The Western
Pacific Regional Sourcebook, which documents “success stories” between the two
agencies, was approved for release by AF Chief of Staff General John Jumper and NPS
Director Fran Mainella in December. Mr. Oppermann offered some copies of the
sourcebook for review at the Southern Region meeting. The sourcebook may also be
found on the following web site: www.afranges.net/sourcebook.html.
Mr. Oppermann noted in closing that the last few weeks in Iraq have clearly indicated
why our military needs to train realistically.
Discussion: Ms. Jackson (Southern Region Office/NPS) is interested in Categorical
Exclusion (CATEX) criteria above and below 3,000 feet above ground level. She
expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to learn. The AOPA figure of commercial
flights doubling by 2015 was a real eye opener. It only highlights the need to
communicate.
Mr. Oppermann has not had a chance to evaluate the impact of increased Navy activity in
the Southeast US as a result of losing Vieques Range. He would like to see the NPS
involved in some of that planning, since a number of park units throughout the National
Park Service’s Southeast Region are likely to be affected.
Colonel Wilson urged units to continue to communicate even they don’t believe they
have any problems.

E. Breakout Sessions
Colonel Wilson listed four possible breakout sessions.




Savannah CRTC issues chaired by Lt Col Simmons (Savannah CRTC/DO)
1 AF Real-time management of Special Use Airspace chaired by Mr. Hicks
(Southeast Air Defense Sector/Airspace manager)
JSTARS issues chaired by Major Wiswell (116 ARW)
Homeland Security issues chaired by Mr. Hooper (Navy Liaison to the FAA)
F. Breakout Summaries
First AF Real-time Management of SUA — Mr. Welch and Mr. Robinson will draft a
charter for a Working Group that will include ANG/C4, 1st Air Force, the Sectors, FAA.
The WG is to be sponsored by Commander, 1st Air Force and the Director, ANG
Command, Control, Communications, and Computers. The WG will scope the issue and
develop an action plan, to include a basic capabilities assessment.
Homeland Security issues. Mr. Hooper discussed Homeland Security Missions. Several
questions remain unanswered:
 What is the priority of their active missions?
 Are existing FAA/DoD orders going to be changed to include active Homeland
Security missions?
 What impact will their missions have on large-scale DoD exercises?
 Who schedules with using agencies homeland security missions?
More than one of their missions has already taken place in the Atlantic offshore
Warning Areas.
5. ACTION ITEM RECAP
There were no Action Items left from the last meeting of the Southern-Southwest
Airspace/Range council and none were developed during this session.
6. NEXT MEETING
The next meeting of the Southern-Southwest Region Airspace/Range Council – Management
Session is tentatively scheduled for April 2004 in New Orleans, LA. Dates and location will
be announced later.
