MCCHORD AFB (KTCM) BASH GUIDANCE - BASH Phase I period indicates historically light bird activity, normally associated with non-migratory seasons. BASH II period indicates historically heavy bird activity, normally associated with migratory seasons. Typically, this period runs from 1 October through 31 March, or as determined by OG/CC, and will be announced by FCIF and NOTAM. During this period aircrews should be especially aware of increased bird activity and bird strike risks along migratory routes.
3. AIRFIELD RESTRICTIONS - Aircrews will obtain Bird Watch Condition (BWC), if available, prior to initial departure from, or arrival into, McChord AFB (KTCM). Crews will immediately notify Tower, Base Ops, or Command Post of any observed activity that may present a hazard for other aircraft. If crews observe or receive notification of bird conditions worse than the last identified BWC they will follow guidance for the more restrictive condition.
a. BWC LOW - No operating restriction.
b.
BWC MODERATE - All local IFR/VFR traffic pattern activity will cease. AMC aircraft/crews will terminate transition training in McChord local pattern. AMC aircraft commanders will be the approval authority for takeoffs and landings.
c.
BWC SEVERE - All takeoffs and landings are prohibited. Airborne aircraft will hold or divert. Deviations require 62 OG/CC or higher approval.
