4. ARRIVALS/DEPARTURES -
a. ARRIVALS - Preferred transient arrivals procedure is to be a VFR "Participant." This requires filing to a designated VFR entry point for the R2508 Complex and flying VFR from this entry point to final for a straight-in full stop landing. S base Rwy 24 has been misidentified as main runway by some visiting pilots.
(1) Arriving aircraft should advise Joshua Approach and/or Sport that they are "Participating Aircraft." The Controlling Agencies, Joshua or Sport, will, upon request, provide heading and altitude guidance to avoid active special use areas.
(2)
Radio contact must be established with Edwards (KEDW) Tower before proceeding closer than 8 NM to the Edwards (KEDW) main base runway. When on final, the published TACAN/ILS ground track and altitudes may be flown under visual conditions to facilitate orientation and avoid special use areas/patterns.
(3)
Position reports are critical for sequencing of aircraft. Position reports are made with reference to predominate ground features. Commonly used reference points for Rwy 22 are:
"2 NM (E or N) of the mines." Distance and direction from the open pit mines.
"At the TACAN." - 7 NM on final.
"E Lakeshore." - 5 NM on final (EDW 223/2)
"Mid Lakebed." - 3 NM on final. (EDW 223/4)
"Short final." - 1 NM on final (EDW 223/6)
b.
IFR "Non-participating" arriving aircraft may expect significant delays while Special Use Airspace is sanitized to allow for transit under Instrument Flight Rules.
c.
DEPARTURES - Contact Ground Control for appropriate clearance, route and take-off instructions. After airborne, contact Sport (343.7, 132.75) for flight following and traffic advisories. After crossing R2508 Complex boundary outbound change to enroute frequency as appropriate.

d. North Base (9LZ) Rwy 06-24 (5598’x150’). Due to failing runway conditions, North Base PCN strictly enforced. Adhere to following limitations:
(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 02-19)
(1)
All turns will occur on the concrete areas of the runway located at mid-field, approach and departure end.
(2)
If unable to exit at the center taxiway, aircraft must proceed to the departure end to initiate turn and exit mid-field.
5. GENERAL -
a.
Edwards AFB (KEDW) operates primarily under VFR. IFR operations are the exception and used only when weather precludes VFR operations.
b.
An operational transponder with Mode C is required to fly in R2515.
c.
Nonstandard features in the Edwards (KEDW) traffic pattern include:
(1)
Multiple entry points from the N and S to overhead and straight-in approach.
(2)
Closed patterns to overhead, straight-in or simulated flameout (SFO) patterns. SFO patterns from overhead the field or 10 NM final by various aircraft (A-37, F-16) at different altitudes (6500’ to 12,000’ MSL).
