LOCAL FLYING NOTICES
1. General. A Local Flying Notice is used to notify all local military
aviation units and users of Camp Pendleton SUA about the presence of any high
volume or unusual aviation activities in this airspace. Local Flying Notices
are published via message. They are disseminated for unusual or non-routine
training evolutions requiring extra vigilance or precautions by all Camp
Pendleton airspace users.
2. Dissemination. Local Flying Notices will be disseminated a minimum of
48 hours in advance of the particular activity or event that is being
advertised. Any unit desiring to conduct high volume or unusual training
activities within Camp Pendleton airspace shall schedule the airspace (and
required ranges) as early as possible prior to the desired training period.
4006. AIRSPACE AND AVIATION FACILITY SCHEDULING
1. General. All users of Camp Pendleton airspace and training ranges,
including inland training areas, amphibious beach training areas and aviation
training facilities, must schedule the training area in advance. Scheduling
requests for the use of any of these areas or other Base training facilities,
including aviation training facilities, will be submitted to the Range
Scheduling Office per the provisions contained in paragraph 3002 in Chapter 3
of this Order.
2. Cancellation. Once ground ranges, training facilities, airspace, and/or
sea space have been scheduled, it is the responsibility of the unit scheduled
to use the facility to conduct its training during the allotted time period.
Should there be a requirement to modify a scheduled range time, or a need to
cancel a range request, the unit shall notify the Range Scheduling Office at
the earliest opportunity.
3. Close Air Support Requests. Close Air Support (CAS) scheduling requests
shall include type/number of aircraft, ordnance, impact area, IP, mark type,
and supporting facilities (e.g., MP, AFA, etc.). Unless utilizing the
standard Range 220 or Range 440 brief, units conducting rotary wing CAS TACP
training shall brief the RCO 7 days prior to the scheduled training. The
briefing will include the locations of all holding areas, battle positions
and ingress routing. Units will provide a copy of the LOI, ORM, start fire
line, stop fire line, maneuver box, and egress instructions.
4007. AIRSPACE CONTROL PROCEDURES
1. General. All aircraft operating within Camp Pendleton Special Use
Airspace (SUA) shall check in and out with Range Control (LONGRIFLE) prior to
entry/departure of the airspace. Aircraft must maintain communication with
LONGRIFLE at all times while operating within Camp Pendleton airspace.
Alternate discrete range safety frequencies may be requested and will be
assigned to support individual training activities on an as available basis.
(NOTE: Due to the mountainous terrain within Camp Pendleton, some low
altitude communication blind spots exist in areas around the Base.
Therefore, aircraft may have to climb to obtain positive communication with
LONGRIFLE). Aircraft checking in with LONGRIFLE shall provide call sign,
location, unit, number and type aircraft, planned activity, and ordnance (if
applicable).
