GEN 1.2 ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF AIRCRAFT 1.2.1 General 1.2.1.1 Introduction 1.2.1.2 The requirements for entry, transit and departure of aircraft engaged in international flights and the procedures for clearance of these aircraft at designated airports in Afghanistan are given for the information and guidance of operators conducting international flights. 1.2.1.3 The Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation (MoTCA) is the agency responsible for Afghanistan’s obligations under the provisions of Annex 9 (Facilitation) of the Chicago Convention. The MoTCA is responsible for coordinating with other agencies for the development and implementation of policy and coordination of ICAO matters. 1.2.1.4 At the invitation, and on behalf of the MoTCA, the Combined Forces Air Component Commander (CFACC) is the Airspace Control Authority (ACA) for Afghanistan and the Kabul Flight Information Region (FIR) effective from 0730 UTC 11 February 2002 until further notice. The procedures for flight operations detailed here are mandatory for all aircraft operators authorized to fly in the Kabul FIR. 1.2.1.5 MoTCA has responsibility for all operational and safety matters relating to civil aviation into, within and from Afghanistan territory. All aircraft require MoTCA approval to land at or depart from an Afghan aerodrome. MoTCA approval can be gained by submitting requests at least 24 hours in advance (in order of preference), via the AFTN line OAKBYAYX or e-mail [email protected]. Replies from MoTCA will be sent via AFTN. Once in receipt of a MoTCA approval number, operators need to obtain appropriate permission from airfields and file an international flight plan with closest ATC agency. MoTCA hours of operation are: April to October: 0730 – 1600 local Saturday to Wednesday; 0730 – 1330 local Thursday; Closed Friday. October to April: 0830 – 1530 local Saturday to Wednesday; 0730 – 1330 Thursday; Closed Friday Requests will only be processed during business hours. 1.2.1.6 Airfields that are Prior Permission Required (PPR) are identified at ENR 1.9 and/or via NOTAM. See ENR 1.9 for details. 1.2.1.7 For overflights, all aircraft require MoTCA approval. MoTCA approval will be gained through the same means as arrivals and departures outlined in 1.2.1.5.

1.2.1.8 All aircraft operating within the Kabul FIR must be familiar with ENR 1.8 Regional Supplementary Procedures. 1.2.2 Risks to Flight and Compliance with AIP procedures 1.2.2.1 All operators are advised there is an increased risk of hostile, non-military actions against aircraft and should be aware of on-going military operations in Afghanistan. Compliance with AIP procedures is mandatory. Safety of aircraft operating in the Kabul FIR requires strict adherence to AIP procedures. Operators should review NOTAMs regularly, using their appropriate systems and methods, for any changes that may affect the information contained in this document and make their own risk assessment based on all available information. Due to potential delays in transferring military NOTAM information into international NOTAM database, all operators are advised to also review NOTAMs on the Defence Internet NOTAM site (DINS) available at: https://www.notams.jcs.mil or http://www.baseops.de 1.2.2.2 All aircraft operators shall comply strictly with the provisions of the permission granted for their aircraft and shall adhere to the international designated air routes. Failure to comply with the procedures in this AIP may result in interception by armed coalition fighter aircraft, fines or future airspace denial. Aircraft operators must be familiar with, and follow, international intercept procedures contained in Annex 2, Rules of the Air, to the Chicago Convention, para 3.8 and Appendix 2, Sections 2 and 3. Pilots are to continuously monitor the VHF emergency frequency 121.5 MHz and operate their transponder at all times during flight. ACA reserves the right to deny aircraft with inoperable transponders access to Kabul FIR. Aircraft operating within the Kabul FIR may also be instructed to deviate from their filed route due to temporary flight restrictions imposed by ACA. In addition, Afghan Advisory (air to air): 125.2 MHz shall be monitored when not in positive contact with a controlling agency. This frequency may be used by control agencies to broadcast or relay "safety of flight" information at any time. 1.2.2.3 All Afghanistan airports with the exception of Kabul, Kandahar, Mazar-E Sharif and U.S. Military airports have limited or no ATC, Meteorology, Fire and Rescue or ground support services. In addition all pavements at these airports are in poor condition. Crews that operate to, at or from these airfields do so entirely at their own risk. 1.2.3 Quarantine Considerations. 1.2.3.1 As a preventive measure against foot and mouth disease, the floor and wheels of aircraft leaving Afghanistan should be cleaned prior to departure.

GEN 1.5 AIRCRAFT INSTRUMENTS, EQUIPMENT AND FLIGHT DOCUMENTS 1.5.1 General 1.5.1.1 Commercial air transport aircraft operating in Afghanistan must adhere to the provisions of ICAO Annex 6 – Operation of Aircraft, Part 1 – International Commercial Air Transport – Aeroplanes, Chapter 6 (Aeroplanes Instruments, Equipment and Flight Documents) and Chapter 7 (Aeroplane Communication and Navigation Equipment). 1.5.2 RNP-10 Requirements 1.5.2.1 All civil and State overflight aircraft operating within the Kabul FIR must be approved by the State of the operator or the State of Registry for Required Navigation Performance 10 (RNP-10). All aircraft operating RNP-10 in Afghanistan airspace shall have at least dual carriage of navigation systems of integrity such that the navigation system does not provide misleading information. Additionally, all aircraft shall meet a lateral track keeping accuracy equal to or better than + 10 NM for 95% of the flight time in RNP-10 airspace and aircraft shall meet longitudinal track positioning accuracy of + 10 NM for 95% of the flight time in RNP-10 airspace. Aircraft that are unable to meet the minimum navigational requirements for RNP-10 will not be permitted to operate IFR within the Kabul FIR. 1.5.2.2 Due to the present nature of Afghanistan airspace, before entering RNP-10 airspace, the aircraft’s position should be checked as accurately as possible by using external Navigation Aids (NAVAIDS). This may require distance measuring equipment (DME) and/or DME/VHF Omni-directional Range (VOR) checks to determine navigation system errors through displayed and actual positions. If the system is updated, the proper procedures should be followed with the aid of a prepared checklist. 1.5.3 Transponder Operation 1.5.3.1 All aircraft operating in the Kabul FIR shall be equipped with serviceable pressure altitude reporting transponders. Operators shall ensure Mode C is turned on at all times and advise air traffic control of any malfunctions. 1.5.3.2 All aircraft will ensure their transponder is set to the assigned code provided by air traffic control for civil operators, the Air Tasking Order for military operators, when applicable, or AMCC for ISAF operators. VFR aircraft shall set code 1200 unless assigned a discrete code by air traffic control. 1.5.3.3 All aircraft overflying the Kabul FIR shall squawk the previous ACC assigned mode 3A code or 1200. 1.5.4 TCAS Requirement 1.5.4.1 All civilian aircraft operating at or above FL 240 must have TCAS.

At a minimum, the following information shall be transmitted: a. b. c. d.

Call sign. Flight level. Direction of flight. Position.

1.5.5.2 Aircrews shall advise ATC of any deterioration or failure of navigation equipment below RNP-10 navigation performance requirements by stating “Unable RNAV due to equipment.” ATC will then attempt to provide alternative separation standards and/or routings.

The second letter is ‘A” designating locations in Afghanistan. The remaining two letters designate the landing area/location, and may not necessarily correlate with the English name of the location. Locations other than those given the ‘OA’ prefix are designated by three, four or five letter codes. To avoid confusion with location indicators, waypoints do not begin with the letters ‘OA’. 2.4.1.2 The following table summarizes code allocation:

3.1.3.3 Supplement to the AIP (AIP SUP) not implemented in Afghanistan AIP. 3.1.3.3.1 Temporary changes of long duration (three months and longer) and information of short duration that consists of extensive text and/or text supplementing the permanent information contained in the AIP are published as AIP Supplements (AIP SUP). AIP SUPs are separated by information subject (General – GEN, Enroute – ENR and Aerodromes – AD) and are placed accordingly at the beginning of each AIP part. Each AIP Supplement is allocated a serial number, which is consecutive and based on the calendar year, e.g. AIP SUP 1/04. Not implemented in Afghanistan AIP 3.1.3.3.2 AIP SUP is kept in the AIP as long as all or some of its contents remain valid. The period of validity of the information contained in the AIP SUP will normally be given in the supplement itself. Alternatively, a NOTAM may be used to indicate changes to the period of validity or cancellation of the AIP SUP. The checklist of AIP SUP currently in force is issued in the monthly printed plain-language summary of NOTAM in force. Not implemented in Afghanistan AIP. 3.1.3.4 Aeronautical Information Circular (AIC) 3.1.3.4.1 Aeronautical Information Circulars (AIC) contain information on the longterm forecast of any major change in legislation, regulation, procedures or facilities. This includes: 3.1.3.4.1.1 Information of a purely explanatory or advisory nature libel to affect flight safety; and, 3.1.3.4.1.2 Information or notification of an explanatory or advisory nature concerning technical, legislative or purely administrative matters. 3.1.3.4.2 AIC are issued in one series and each AIC is numbered consecutively on a calendar year basis. The year, indicated by two digits, is a part of the serial number of the AIC, e.g. AIC 1/04. A checklist of AIC currently in force is issued as an AIC twice each year. 3.1.3.5 NOTAM and Pre-flight Information Bulletins (PIB): 3.1.3.5.1 NOTAMs contain information concerning the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which it is essential for personnel concerned with flight operations. The text of each NOTAM contains the information in the order shown in the ICAO NOTAMs format, and is composed of the significations/uniform abbreviated phraseology assigned to the ICAO NOTAM Code. This is complemented by ICAO abbreviations, indicators, identifiers, designators, callsigns, frequencies, figures and plain language. NOTAM are originated and issued for Kabul FIR and are published. Each pilot in command, Civil Air Carrier/Operator is responsible for ensuring current NOTAMs are reviewed. Due to potential delays in transferring military NOTAMs information into international NOTAM databases, all operators are advised to also review NOTAMs on the Defence Internet NOTAM site (DINS) available at: https://www.notams.jcs.mil; https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/distribution/home.html; or http://www.baseops.de

The control function in respect of aerodrome and other traffic operating on the surface outside the landing area in use may be provided separately and is termed Surface Movement Control. Bagram, Kandahar, Kabul, Herat and Mazar-E Sharif all provide an aerodrome control service. 3.3.3.1.2 Approach/Departure Control Service is provided to flights within an airfield’s TMA as defined in ENR 2.1.1.1. Approach/departure control service is provided until the arriving flights become aerodrome traffic and to departing flights from the time they cease to be aerodrome traffic until they climb independently of approaching flights or aircraft departing on other routes. The control function concerned with departing traffic when separately established is termed Departure Control, the remaining function then being termed Approach Control. Approach/Departure control service will be provided jointly with aerodrome control service, unless specified otherwise in Enroute Supplement. A radar approach control service is provided at Bagram, Kabul and Kandahar.

ATC Surveillance System) service is provided by the Kabul ACC to IFR aircraft operating on Kabul FIR high and low structure airways. 3.3.3.1.4 Air Traffic Surveillance Service is the predominant means of control at Bagram, Kabul and Kandahar. ATC Surveillance service may include the following: 3.3.3.1.4.1 ATC Surveillance Service provides positive traffic separation (except between VFR flights in VMC in Class D and E airspace) and the monitoring of aircraft navigation, to identified traffic in controlled airspace. 3.3.3.1.4.2 Radar Information Service (RIS) is a service provided by ATC within ATC Surveillance System coverage. It provides traffic, position and navigation information to flights not receiving a separation service and is available to improve situational awareness and assist pilots in avoiding collisions with other aircraft. At pilot request, and, if possible, a controller providing RIS will suggest a course of action to avoid other aircraft. Ultimate responsibility for aircraft and terrain avoidance rests with the pilot in command. This service may be provided in Class G airspace to IFR flights in relation to other IFR flights and, unless impracticable, in relation to observed VFR flights. It may also be provided to VFR flights in Class E and G airspace. 3.3.3.1.4.3 Final Approach Service provides a precision or surveillance radar service for final approach. 3.3.3.1.4.4 Emergency Service provides navigation assistance to aircraft in distress or experiencing navigational difficulties. 3.3.3.1.5 Flight Information Service (FIS) is a non- ATC Surveillance System service provided either separately, or in conjunction with other services, for the purpose of supplying information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flight. Provision of the service includes information about weather, changes of serviceability of facilities, conditions at aerodromes and any other information pertinent to safety. This service does not provide separation or sequencing to aircraft. 3.3.3.1.5.1 If in ATC Surveillance System coverage, the controller may attempt to identify the flight for monitoring and coordination purposes only. Such identification does not imply that an ATC Surveillance service is being provided or that the controller will continuously monitor the flight. 3.3.3.1.5.2 Where a controller suspects, from whatever source, that a flight is in dangerous proximity to another aircraft, a warning is to be issued to the pilot. It is accepted that this information may be incomplete and the controller cannot assume responsibility for its issuance at all times or for its accuracy. 3.3.4 Coordination between the Operator and Air Traffic Services 3.3.4.1 Coordination between the operator and traffic services is affected in accordance with 2.15 of ICAO Annex 11 and 11.2.1.1.4 and 11.2.1.1.5 of Chapter 11 of the Procedures for Air Navigation Services - Air Traffic Management (Doc 4444 ATM/501).

3.3.5 Minimum Flight Altitude 3.3.5.1 Minimum flight altitude is determined by adding 2 000 feet on top of terrain or obstacle heights taken in the vicinity of the area. That altitude is then rounded up to the next hundred-foot value. For example, an obstacle exists at 6 775 feet. Add 2 000 feet to clear the obstacle, which would make the Minimum Obstacle Clearance Altitude (MOCA) 8 800 feet. Rounded up to the next thousand-foot value equals a minimum IFR flight altitude of 9 000 feet. 3.3.6 ATS Units Address List 3.3.6.1 Not available at this time.

If holding is issued, all aircraft shall fly 10-mile legs and conduct right turns. An “expect further clearance” time (EFC) shall be issued by ATC at least 5 minutes prior to the aircraft’s estimated time to the clearance limit. If no delay is expected at the clearance limit, air traffic control shall advise the pilot “no delay expected”. 1.5.1.2 Due to limited airspace available, it is imperative that the approaches to the holding patterns and procedures are carried out as exactly as possible. Pilots should inform ATC if the approach and/or holding cannot be performed as required. 1.5.2 Arriving Flights 1.5.2.1 Bagram, Kabul, and Kandahar Airfields 1.5.2.1.1 All arriving aircraft will contact ATC for air traffic approach service 10 minutes before entering Class C airspace. If no contact is made with ATC 10 minutes before the Class C, the pilot will discontinue the approach and either hold at pilot’s discretion outside the Class C and continue to attempt to contact ATC or divert to alternate airfield. If diverting is not possible due to low fuel state, declare an emergency and apply loss of communication procedures as per ENR 1.6.2 Radio Failure Procedures. 1.5.2.1.2 All arriving aircraft must remain above FL 160 until 20 NM from Kabul Airfield unless under Bagram Approach Control or Kabul Approach Control and approved for descent below FL 160. 1.5.2.1.3 Arrivals to Kabul and Bagram from the enroute structure will be cleared to the Kabul and Bagram airports as their clearance limit. Kabul ACC will initiate transfer of communications prior to TCP. 1.5.2.1.4 Arrivals to Kandahar will be cleared to the Kandahar airport as their clearance limit. Kabul ACC will initiate transfer of communications prior to TCP. 1.5.2.2 All Other Airfields 1.5.2.2.1 All aircraft must intercept air routes at their assigned altitude and must descend and climb to/from air routes at a 90 degree angle. Contact the airfield tower, if available, 10 minutes before landing. 1.5.2.2.2 Pilots will cancel their IFR clearance prior to leaving Class E airspace when inbound to airports that do not have approach procedures. 1.5.2.2.3 Common safety frequency VHF 125.2 MHz for all uncontrolled airfields in Afghanistan.

ENR 1.13 UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE 1.13.1 General 1.13.1.1 An aircraft which is being subjected to unlawful interference shall endeavour to notify the appropriate ATS unit of this fact, any significant circumstances associated therewith and any deviation from the current flight plan necessitated by the circumstances, in order to enable the ATS unit to give priority to the aircraft and to minimize conflict with other aircraft. 1.13.1.2 The following procedures are intended for use by aircraft when unlawful interference occurs and the aircraft is unable to notify an ATS unit of this fact via normal air-ground voice communications. 1.13.2 Procedures 1.13.2.1 Unless considerations aboard the aircraft dictate otherwise, the pilot-incommand should attempt to continue flying on the assigned track and at the assigned cruising level at least until notification to an ATS unit is possible or the aircraft is within ATC Surveillance System coverage. 1.13.2.2 When an aircraft subjected to an act of unlawful interference must depart from its assigned track or its assigned cruising level without being able to make radiotelephony contact with ATS, the pilot-in-command should, whenever possible: 1.13.2.2.1 Attempt to broadcast warnings on the VHF emergency frequency and other appropriate frequencies, unless considerations aboard the aircraft dictate otherwise. Other equipment such as onboard transponders, data links, etc. should also be used when it is advantageous to do so and circumstances permit; and 1.13.2.2.2 Proceed in accordance with applicable special procedures for in-flight contingencies, where such procedures have been established and promulgated in Doc 7030 – Regional Supplementary Procedures; or 1.13.2.2.3 If no applicable regional procedures have been established, proceed at a level which differs from the cruising levels normally used for IFR flight in the area by 2 000 ft (600 M) if above FL 290 or by 1000 ft (300 M) if below FL 290. 1.13.2.3 An aircraft equipped with an SSR transponder is expected to operate the transponder on Mode A Code 7500 to indicate specifically that it is the subject of unlawful interference. The aircraft may operate the transponder on Mode A Code 7700, to indicate that it is threatened by grave and imminent danger, and requires immediate assistance. 1.13.2.4 Action to be taken by SSR-equipped aircraft which are being subjected to unlawful interference is contained in Annex 11, the PANS-ATM (Doc 4444) and the PANS-OPS (Doc 8168). Action to be taken by CPDLC-equipped aircraft which are being subjected to unlawful interference is contained in Annex 11, the PANS-ATM (Doc 4444), and guidance material on the subject is contained in the Manual of Air Traffic Services Data Link Applications (Doc 9694).

ENR 3.2 UPPER ATS ROUTES 3.2.1 The High Enroute Structure comprises upper air routes B466, G792, L750,N644 A466, M881, P500 and UL333 (see ENR 3.2.8). The air routes are 20 NM wide, 10 NM either side of the designated track from FL 290 to FL 450. Aircraft will generally be assigned standard levels according to direction between the Lowest Assignable Level (LAL) of FL 310 and the Maximum Assignable Level (MAL) of FL 430. 3.2.2 From 2000 Z – 0000 Z daily, the lower boundary of Class A airspace drops to FL 270, allowing a LAL of FL 280, on air routes L750, N644, A466 and G792 only. 3.2.3 All High Enroute Structure over-flight aircraft must contact the Kabul ACC 10 minutes prior to entering the FIR boundary. If entering via B466/G792, L750, A466 or UL333, aircraft must contact Kabul ACC on 128.5 VHF. If entering Kabul ACC via N644 or M881 contact must be made via HF frequencies 5658 or 10018. 3.2.3.1 125.325MHz shall be monitored when unable to establish two way communications with the Kabul Area Control Centre (KACC) while on an Air Route. This frequency may be used by the KACC to broadcast or relay "safety of flight" information. 3.2.4 All air routes are identified by latitude and longitude references and utilize modified RNP-10 requirements. 3.2.5 RVSM is not authorized in the Kabul FIR. 3.2.6 These airways are for civil aircraft only. All military aircraft over-flights, whether US military or otherwise, must be approved by the ACA via the Air Mobility Division (AMD). 3.2.7 These routes are only for aircraft overflying the Kabul FIR that will not land at any underlying airfield unless an emergency aircraft under ICAO emergency procedures.

ENR 5 NAVIGATION WARNINGS ENR 5.1 PROHIBITED, RESTRICTED AND DANGER AREAS 5.1.1 Introduction 5.1.1.1 All airspace in which a potential hazard to aircraft operations may exist and all areas over which the operation of civil aircraft may, for one reason or another, be restricted either temporarily or permanently, are classified according to the following three types of areas as defined by ICAO. 5.1.2 Definitions 5.1.2.1 Prohibited Area. Airspace of defined dimensions, above the land areas or territorial waters of the State of Afghanistan, within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited. This term is used only when the flight of civil aircraft within the designated airspace is not permitted at any time under any circumstances. 5.1.2.2 Restricted Area. Airspace of defined dimensions, above the land areas or territorial waters of the State of Afghanistan, within which the flight of aircraft is restricted in accordance with certain specified conditions. This term is used whenever the flight of civil aircraft within the designated airspace is not absolutely prohibited but may be made only if specified conditions are complied with. Thus, prohibition of flight, except at certain specified times, leads to the designation of the airspace as a restricted area as would prohibition except in certain meteorological conditions. Similarly, prohibition of flight, unless special permission had been obtained, leads to the designation of a restricted area. However, conditions of flight imposed as a result of application of rules of the air or air traffic service practices or procedures (for example, compliance with minimum safe heights or with rules stemming from the establishment of controlled airspace) do not constitute conditions calling for designation as a restricted area. 5.1.2.3 Danger Area. Airspace of defined dimensions within which activities dangerous to the flight of aircraft may exist at specified times. This term is used only when the potential danger to aircraft has not led to the designation of the airspace as restricted or prohibited. The effect of the creation of the danger area is to caution operators or pilots of aircraft that it is necessary for them to assess the dangers in relation to their responsibility for the safety of their aircraft. 5.1.3 Designations 5.1.3.1 The type of area involved is indicated by the nationality letters OA, then a slash (/), followed by the letter -P- for Prohibited, -R- for Restricted and -D- for Danger. Each area is numbered and a single series of numbers is used for all areas, regardless to type, to ensure that a number is never duplicated. Each number has three digits; the first digit indicates the last digit of the area’s latitude, from 29º N to 38º N, the remaining two being a sequence number.

ENR 5.6 BIRD MIGRATION AND AREAS WITH SENSITIVE FAUNA 5.6.1 Introduction The following information was gathered after the examination of Kabul International Airport, Kandahar, Mazar-e-Sharif, Herat, Bagram and Tarin Kowt’s bird activities by a team from the Netherlands Air Force. Special thanks to Albert deHoon’s and his team for their work "Bird Strike Prevention in Afghanistan" from where this information is drawn. 5.6.2 Afghanistan’s Geography, Climate and Vegetation 5.3.2.1 Afghanistan is located in the centre of Asia and is landlocked between Pakistan, Iran, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and China. The country is mountainous and is mostly situated above 2,000 meters altitude. The climate is continental, arid to semiarid, with a low annual precipitation (on average the yearly precipitation is 335 mm), resulting in droughts and limited fresh water availability in large parts of the country. It mainly rains and snows between October and April. The snow from the mountains feeds the rivers year round. Afghanistan has many rivers that are suitable for irrigating their valleys. The largest part of the country is dry with steppe vegetation. This part is used for grazing livestock and for growing crops that require dry conditions. The remaining areas are either too dry or too rugged for growing crops and are therefore grazed by livestock. Trees are scarce and currently present in forests (East-Afghanistan), river valleys and in orchards and built-up areas. 5.6.3 Bird Strikes 5.3.3.1 A bird strike database is missing in Afghanistan. In general, the number of bird strikes is low in the October to March period, most bird strikes occur in summer, except for the month of July, and during fall migration. Weights of the birds that were involved in the bird strikes can be categorised as follows: - Up to 50 grams: Strikes involved small birds like swallows, sparrows and larks. - Between 50 and 100 grams: Strikes involved birds like thrushes and starlings. - Between 100 and 500 grams: Strikes involved birds like waders, plovers, ducks and pigeons. 5.6.4 Birds 5.3.4.1 Since Afghanistan is in the middle of the breeding (Russia) and wintering (India / Africa) ranges of many species, high bird numbers occur during spring and fall migration. Since these migrating birds have, like many juvenile birds that fledge in summer, no experience with aircraft, the most bird strikes occur in these periods. Birds that have been observed in Afghanistan: 5.6.4.1.1 Geese. At Mazar-e-Sharif, geese (among which Graylag Goose and Whitefronted goose could be identified) were found in the grass strips adjacent to the runway. Data about their numbers, arrival and departure dates, time of day visiting the airport, etc. were not recorded, but around 1,000 geese were present during the whole month of January. Geese have not been recorded at the other airfields.

5.6.4.1.2 Birds related to water and moist soils - waterfowl, waders and plovers. Open waters and moist soils were not present at Mazar-e-Sharif and Herat. Kandahar had the most water; a kilometer long creek with adjacent marsh land (width 25 meters), 2 ponds and 1 sewage pit. The 1-hectare pond close to the runway attracted most waterfowl. Observing the birds arriving at and departing from this pond, it appeared that the following species crossed the aircraft flight paths: Blackheaded gulls, Dunlins, Black-winged stilts,Night-herons and Shovelers. The other pond, creek and sewage pit had single numbers of Little-ringed plover (, Blackwinged stilt, Intermediate egret, Green sandpiper and Ruff. At Tarin Kowt, a few birds were present in the sewage pits: Black-winged stilts, Ruff and Lapwing. Birds never occur in the creeks of Kabul and Bagram (including Bagram’s small pond), according to the local personnel. This may be due to pollution; Kabul’s creek is used as a sewage outlet and the water of Bagram’s creek and pond had a chemical colour and smelt polluted. Near the runway of Kabul, Lapwings were observed at the end of March. After the first rains migrating waterfowl showed up at Kabul. Tens of Curlews, Avocets and small plovers were present. On April, Cormorants were observed circling above Bagram’s runway and then heading for the river valley. On March, White-tailed lapwings were present in the vicinity of Bagram. Gulls, ducks and other waterfowl showed up in Bagram and Kabul during rainfall in Sept - Oct and March- April (fall and spring migration season). 10’s of Great Black-headed gulls even showed up at Kabul during snowfall in February. At Bagram, thousands of Demoiselle cranes have been observed in the last years passing by on route to their northern breeding grounds in March and April. These flights coincided with the aircraft flight paths. Like with the geese at Mazar-e-Sharif, data about the numbers of cranes, arrival and departure dates, time of day passing by, height of flight, etc. have never been recorded. Therefore, it is not known whether the Demoiselle cranes use the Ghorban valley as a stop-over site, or that they continue their flight without stopping. In other years, some Demoiselle cranes were even spotted at the airfield itself. 5.6.4.1.3 Birds of prey. Most birds of prey (raptors) hunt for living animals while a few birds, like vultures, rely on carrion (dead animals and animal parts found in garbage). A few species, like kites, feed on a mix of carrion and animals captured alive. Of all raptors, vultures are most hazardous to aircraft because of their weight and the many hours spent soaring in the air looking for carrion. According to the bird guide (Birds of South Asia), a few vulture species are inhabitants of Afghanistan. Although huge numbers of sheep and goat were grazing the steppes and semideserts, the number per flock was small and each flock was tended by a shepherd. It is expected that the shepherds take away the animals before dying, leaving no food for vultures and kites. At the airfields, carcasses of wild animals are rare and if present, they are eaten by Jackals and foxes. Carrion can only be found in the burn pits at Kandahar, Tarin Kowt and Bagram, being meat left-overs from the restaurants. The garbage at the other airfields is transported to landfills outside the airfields. At Kandahar and Tarin Kowt the burn pits were not visited by birds of prey. Only Bagram´s burn pit attracted raptors; Black-eared kites were present at the burn pit early in the mornings. Black-eared kites were observed soaring at different places above the Ghorband river valley, adjacent to Bagram. Around dawn and dusk they soared up to 1 kilometer above the river valley, coinciding with the flight paths of aircraft flying over the valley. According to Bagram´s personnel, the Black-eared kites are, like the Demoiselle cranes, only present in the migration periods. Other raptors that were observed at Bagram are (in single numbers) the Long-legged buzzard, Kestrel, Osprey and Shorteared Owl. At Kandahar, few raptors were observed, i.e.

the Pallied harrier and Kestrel. Steppe eagles were spotted at Mazar-e-Sharif and at Herat. Other raptors at Herat were the Kestrel and theBlack kite. At Kabul airport, in total 5 species of raptors were observed; Pallid harrier, Kestrel, Steppe eagle and Black-eared kites on migration. Besides the Black-eared kites, all other birds of prey were observed hunting for small animals. 5.6.4.1.4 Passerines, partridges and pigeons. Since the vegetation of the airfields is not being grazed by sheep and goats, or being mowed (except Kabul) the vegetation at all airfields is more natural, lush and dense than the vegetation in the vicinity. For this reason, more seeds and insects are present at the airfields than in the vicinity, and thus the airfields are more attractive to birds. At each airfield, House sparrows and Tree sparrows are present. As observed at Kabul, these species reach high numbers in spring and summer, finding abundant insects, that thrive in the lush vegetation, and seeds produced by grasses and other plants. Furthermore, 10’s of Barn swallows and Crested larks were present at each airfield, feeding on insects. The Crested lark finds insects on the ground; the Barn swallow is catching insects in the air. At Bagram, single Swifts and Alpine swifts were observed. These bird species are, like the Barn swallow, foraging on flying insects. Bee-eaters also catch flying insects. The bee-eaters didn’t arrive yet from their wintering ranges, but are expected to be present at all airfields during summer. As observed at Kabul in 2007, a few hundred of Barn swallows and tens of Bee-eaters were present in July and August, attracted by the insects flying in above the vegetation. Furthermore, many other small passerines have been observed, among which are Yellow wagtail, Isabelline shrike, Bluethroat, Stonechat and Red-breasted flycatcher. These species typically are not hazardous to aircraft because they rarely cross the runway. The Black francolin (both male and female) was observed at Kandahar. From the pigeon family, the Laughing dove was present at all airfields. They rarely cross the runway, since they can find enough food in the built-up areas. The Racing pigeons, kept by pigeon-fanciers in the vicinity and their feral relatives were observed crossing the runway at all airbases. 5.6.4.1.5 Species from built-up areas. House and Tree Sparrow, Racing pigeon, Laughing dove, Magpie (Pica pica) and Myna find shelter in the camp-sites at all airbases. In winter, up to 5,000 Mynas roost in various buildings and trees at Bagram. Of particular concern are the approximately 1,000 Mynas roosting in the helicopter hangars; these birds cause a lot of trouble with their droppings and noise. The nets to make the awnings of the hangars at Bagram inaccessible for the Mynas were put underneath only 90% of the awnings. The few uncovered parts were used by the Mynas to get access into the awnings. At other airfields, Mynas are, like the other birds in the built-up areas, rarely troublesome.

2.19.11 RWY 29 Sequence Flashing Lights are out of service. OAKB AD 2.20 LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS 2.20.1 COM KAIA is the sole authority to close Kabul International Airport to all or select traffic. KAIA will publish closure times and affected air traffic by NOTAM. 2.20.2 FSO and ATC may temporarily suspend air operations for safety or traffic saturation. ATC will immediately inform Air Ops and adjacent ATC facilities of any suspensions. 2.20.3 ATC TWR may temporarily suspend air operations if the weather conditions are below appropriate airport minima concerning the types of approach. 2.20.4 Operators shall contact AMCC or KABUL AIR OPS for any changes to PPR/slot times. Cancelled flights that are not reported cause unnecessary activation of precious Search and Rescue resources. Operators violating these procedures may encounter denial of future requests for slot times on KAIA. OAKB AD 2.21 NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES 2.21.1 Military ACFT and all helicopters are required to reduce engines to ground idle after parking for 10 minutes. Engines must be shut down if aircraft is not ready or expected to taxi within 15 minutes of being parked. OAKB AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES 2.22.1 Start up procedure. Request start-up clearance from Ground stating parking position and receipt of ATIS information only when doors are closed and ready to start immediately. Actual engine start shall be commenced after requesting and accept of visual hand signals from the marshaller. ACFT making push-back at international apron (see OAKB outlay map; 2.24.3) should be ready for taxi within 4 min from off block 2.22.2 Taxi procedures. All aircraft shall adhere to ATC taxi and parking instructions. Pilots are responsible for apron positioning after leaving the main taxiway when not assisted by a Follow-Me or marshaller. All ISAF and military aircraft, including commercial operators deployed by ISAF Troop Contributing Nations, should expect Follow-Me or marshaller guidance for taxi and parking in the ISAF controlled aprons. ATC may direct aircraft to taxi inbound on the military aprons, but Follow-Me or marshaller guidance is mandatory for parking operations. All aircrews should be alert for uncontrolled pedestrian and vehicle traffic at all times. Only after vacating the RWY expeditiously until the entire ACFT is clear of the RWY holding position, pilot shall immediately report “Rwy vacated”. On instruction of the ATC, contact Ground for further taxi instructions. Due to heavy Helicopter traffic on Twy B, pilots may not enter this Twy without explicit ATC clearance. Initially the taxi clearance issued only to holding point of the active RWY. Crossing active RWY is permitted on specific clearance only. In the absence of specific clearance to cross the active RWY AHEAD ACFT shall not proceed beyond the relevant taxi holding position. The holding positions are named after the relevant TWY’s. The maximum taxi speed shall not

exceed 16KT. This speed shall be decreased if contamination on the surface deteriorates the braking action 2.22.3 Helicopter Landing Sites. There are seven helicopter landing sites (HLS) on Taxiway Bravo (named B1 through to B5) and Hotel (named H1 through to H2) for take-off, landing and hovering. Helistrip B1 between TWYs Golf and Foxtrot, Helistrip B2 in front of control tower, Helistrip B3 in front of the East side of Apron 5A, Helistrip B4 in front of the West entrance of Apron 5B, Helistrip B5 in front of the entrance of Apron 5C, H1 on the East of Apron 8, and H2 on the West of Apron 8. Rotary wing crews must operate at, from and to the assigned sites. Any deviation from this procedure requires clearance from Kabul TWR. 2.22.4 Helicopter VFR Arrival and Departure procedures. Seven VFR compulsory reporting points (CRP) established as follows: “Alpha” (N34º 32’ 07.20” E069º 15’ 13.80”), “November” (N34º 36’ 00.00” E069º 12’ 00.00”), “NE” (N34º 35’ 00.00” E069º 15’ 00.00”), “Echo 1” (N34º 30’ 43.80” E069º 21’ 30.00”), “Echo 2” (N34º 33’ 55.20” E069º 22’ 27.60”), “Sierra” (N34º 28’ 59.40” E069º 13’ 06.60”) and “SW” (N34º 32’ 00.00” E069º 06’ 00.00”). Arriving helicopters shall enter Kabul CTR via a CRP not above 500 ft AGL, except of CRPs “Echo 1” and “Echo 2” which shall be passed not above 300 ft AGL, unless otherwise instructed by ATC. Helicopters arriving/departing from/to the EAST shall remain South of the road joining KABUL – JALALABAD and track via CRP Alpha. Limited communications coverage exists North of Kabul. Helicopters arriving from the north may proceed to CRPs “November” and “NE” below 500 ft AGL without contacting Kabul TWR. However, contact with Kabul TWR must be made at the CRPs to receive an onwards clearance. CRPs “NE”, “Echo 2” and “Echo 1” are located in close vicinity to the extended centreline of RWY 29; aircrew shall maintain a vigilant look out due high traffic density in this area. Departing helicopters shall use the same CRP’s not above 1 000 ft AGL, except for CRPs “Echo 1” and “Echo 2” which shall be passed not above 500 ft AGL. 2.22.5 In case of Radio Communication Failure (RCF) SSR code 7600 shall be set and ICAO Standard Radio Communication Failure procedure is to be followed. If experiencing RCF in the following phases of flight; arriving aircraft shall vacate RWY in use after landing at the TWY A or G (depending on RWY in use) and wait for Follow-Me vehicle or Light-Gun signal.When taxiing for departure, aircraft shall stop, hold current position on the taxiway, expect to return to parking position, keep engines running, and wait for Follow-Me vehicle guidance or Light-Gun signal. If aircraft lined-up for departure, shall taxi down the runway, vacate at the earliest opportunity, then stop on the taxiway, and wait for Follow-Me vehicle guidance or Light-Gun signal.

If PAR monitoring is available the ILS is approved down to 200 ft ceilings or 1 200 m visibility. 2.19.3 PAR approaches are not available for civilian aircraft. OAKN AD 2.20 LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS 2.20.1 Wheeled helicopters will ground taxi to the extent practical to avoid rotor wash and FOD. 2.20.2 Aircraft may not taxi closer than 25 feet from any obstruction without wingwalkers. Aircraft must be shut down and towed if the distance becomes less than 25 ft. It is the pilots/wing-walkers responsibility to determine safe distances are met. 2.20.3 A 25M small arms range (N31º29'36.50" E065º50'20.09") is located approximately 1 KM south/southeast (165 DEGREES) from the departure end of RWY 23. This range is active H24. Aircraft departing RWY 23 shall delay turning south or east until 2.5 NM past the departure end of the RWY. Aircraft arriving RWY 05 shall delay turning inbound from south or south east until 2.5 from approach end of RWY. Aircraft must remain west or south of the small arms range by a minimum of 2.7 NM or 5 000 ft AGL at all times. 2.20.4. No intersection departures available for civilian HEAVY aircraft with MTOW > 136,000 Kg. These type aircraft can expect full-length departures for the runway in use. 2.20.5 Due to potential interference to aircraft avionics all aircraft are to avoid the radar antenna, located on the North Western side of the airfield, by no less than 500 ft laterally and vertically whilst airborne. Surface movements are not restricted. 2.20.6 Use minimum power when taxiing on Foxtrot Taxiway turning onto Echo Taxiway due to close proximity to parked rotary wing aircraft. 2.20.7 UAV Operations. OAKN has active UAV operations H24. During UAV operations, TWR will: a. provide traffic information on UAV operations to all arriving and departing aircraft; and b. issue instructions to ensure that visiting aircraft arrivals and departures are positively separated with UAV operations inside the CTR. This will normally be achieved using vertical or lateral separation or by repositioning of the UAV until it is evident no confliction 2.20.8 C130 and larger type aircraft are restricted from making 180 degree turns on the runway until past the 2000ft DTRM for RWY 05/23.

RWY 02 FOB Apache and ANA Compound are in approach/departure clearance zone. • Major penetrations are: - 58' Silo's on west side of ANA compound - 42' Antenna in center of ANA compound - 50' Platform and Antenna on the west side of FOB Apache FOB Apache and the ANA compound is located 500' from the threshold of RWY 02. This violates the criteria for the glideslope (ETL 04-7, Table 7) and the Accident Potential Zone (ETL 04-7, Table 8). • FOB Apache and the ANA compound are well lit and may effect aircraft operations at night, unless coordinated to have them turned off. Remarks • Approx. one foot mound borders graded portions of LZ in clear zone, and edge of hammerhead. • Approx. one foot deep ditch located behind mound bordering LZ and hammerhead. • Approx. 18" high concrete barriers line back third of hammerhead; approx. 10 feet beyond hammerhead. • Large mounds on both East and West side of Rwy 20 exceed max gradient slope. a. Entire length of East side of Rwy 20 has +7-11% gradient slope the first 5 feet of the maintained area. b. From the approach end to 1,000' on West side of Rwy 20 has a +7% gradient slope the last 10' of the graded area. c. West side of Rwy 20 midfield has a +11% gradient slope the last 20' of the graded area

OATN AD 2.20 LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS 2.20.1 UAV Operations. TK CTR has active UAV operations H24. 2.20.2 Outside TWR operating hours TK Traffic will provide traffic advice to aircraft on Tower frequency (CTAF). 2.20.3 During TWR operating hours TK Tower will; a. b.

provide traffic information on UAV operations to all arriving and departing aircraft; and issue instructions to ensure that visiting aircraft arrivals and departures are positively separated with UAV operations inside the CTR. This will normally Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation

be achieved using vertical or lateral separation or by repositioning of the UAV until it is evident no confliction exists. OATN AD 2.21 NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES 2.21.1 No Fly Areas. Do not overfly the North side of Airfield (Base Camp) below 1 000 ft AGL / 5 500 ft AMSL. Do not overfly the village of TK. Do not overfly any parked aircraft or the ATC tower. OATN AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES 2.22.1 Taxi procedures. Aircraft shall contact TK tower prior to taxi or repositioning. Helicopters requiring air taxi will remain at an altitude that avoids ground effect (i.e., blowing dust, loose debris, etc.). The primary holding area for the FARP is given by TWR. Clearance to enter the FARP is given by TWR. 2.22.2 Helicopter operations. Contact TK tower at 10NM and 5 NM, prior to entering Class D airspace. Advise TK tower of call sign, entry sector, distance out and intentions. Report to tower 1 min prior to crossing centreline and at final. 2.22.3 Fixed Wing operations. Contact TK tower at 30 NM and 10 NM inbound, prior to entering Class D airspace sector. Expect a landing clearance on base leg. 2.22.4 Departure procedures. Avoid over flying populated areas. Do not over fly the base camp below 5 500 ft AMSL unless directed by tower. In order to decrease FOD on taxiways and runways, present position departures from aircraft parking areas will be approved for rotary-wing aircraft. Contact TWR for frequency change (when leaving TK AOR). 2.22.5 Circuit procedures. TK Tower will determine the number of aircraft that can safely operate in the VFR traffic pattern. The maximum amount of aircraft in the FARP at one moment is 3 helicopters. This is excluding the aircraft parked on the MEDEVAC parking. All other helicopters for the FARP are to hold on advice of the TWR. Closed traffic pattern altitude for rotary-wing traffic is 5 400 ft AMSL or below and 6 000 ft AMSL for fixed-wing aircraft. Over flight of the base camp below 5 500 ft AMSL is prohibited. On approach, helicopters will remain Out of Ground Effect (OGE) over the dust areas to minimize FOD and brown outs unless aircraft performance requires lower altitudes. Helicopters shall not use the runway, unless directed by the TWR. Over flight of the Apache parking, the MEDEVAC parking, TWR and the UAV camp just west of the tower is prohibited. Aircraft will advise tower 1 min prior to crossing runway centreline for deconfliction. WARNING: Use extreme caution when on final approach for the FARP due to brown out conditions in the areas around the FARP. WARNING: Use extreme caution for personnel, vehicles and equipment on all approaches. Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation

2.22.6 Parking. Primary helicopter parking area is Cargo- Parking. Incidental long term helicopter parking can be arranged by tower on the concrete pads located on the north side of the airfield (Redskin Ramp). Parking is reserved for Tarin Kowt home base aircraft. Transient crews must coordinate with Apache operations (via TWR) for space and usage. OATN AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 2.23.1 Range activity (OA/R 203 Tarin Kowt Range). TK Range is always HOT. 2.23.2 Outside operating hours use TK tower VHF freq for position traffic advisories (CTAF) and if necessary call Apache Operations for fuel or extra info. Use extreme caution for UAV operations in and around the Tereen/Tarin Kowt area. 2.23.3 When the reported weather is less than basic VFR minimums, aircraft may request Special VFR clearance into or out of the TK Class D surface airspace, aircraft type permitting. 2.23.4 VFR Low Altitude Arrival. Contact TK Tower as soon as possible when within 10NM of TK Airfield. Aircraft are required to have established contact with Tower prior to entering Class D airspace. On initial contact, advise Tower of: (1) (2) (3)

Call Sign (*** / # ACFT) Position (10 NM, tactical approach requested) Intentions (e.g. inbound for FARP and/or passenger drop off)

2.23.5 Transitioning Aircraft. Aircraft transiting TK Class D airspace shall establish two-way radio contact with TK Tower or TK Traffic for advisories before entering the airspace. 2.23.6 Lost Communication Procedure. When helicopter aircrew determines that they are in a lost communications scenario, aircrew will attempt to contact TK tower through other frequencies and/or aircraft located on the airfield. If communications link is not made, helicopter traffic will remain at or below rotary wing traffic pattern altitude (5 400 ft AMSL) and proceed to, and hold south of, the active runway and await GREEN signal flare from TK Tower for clearance to land. Fixed wing aircraft follow the same procedure at or below the fixed wing pattern altitude (6 000 ft AMSL), but above 5 400 ft AMSL. Once clearance is received, manoeuvre the aircraft to Aparking (or regular parking place for home based aircraft) and shutdown. Do not block either the runway or the Apache strip.
