KNSE Ground Operations

Clearance Delivery(UHF preset Ch2)

• File flight plan with Base Operations via:

– DD 175 Military Flight Plan

– North Whiting Stereo Route (pre-determined flight plans)

• Normally call Clearance Delivery after obtaining ATIS (Ch1)

• Provides flight clearance for VFR or IFR departures to include destination, route, and altitude (as filed on flight plan/stereo route)

• Makes your filed flight plan “active” in the National Airspace System (NAS)

– Various ATC stations can now see your flight plan

– Does not “open” your flight plan meaning you have departed your origin airport

– Flight plans will “time-out” of the system if not “opened”

• Issued clearances

– Given in “CRAFT” format: Clearance limit/Route/Altitude/Frequency/Transponder

– Must read back

Clearance Delivery(UHF preset Ch2)

• If filed via a stereo route:

“North Clearance, Texan 123, _NSE2__ <stereo route> clearance on request, ready to copy.”

Clearance: “Texan 123, you are cleared to the North MOA via the NSE2, on departure climb and maintain 4,500, expect higher in 10 minutes. Departure will be on Ch6, squawk XXXX.”

(read back clearance)

• If filed via a DD-175:

“North Clearance, Texan 123, IFR/VFR to ______ <destination>, clearance on request, ready to copy.”

• If departing VFR with no route filed:

“North Clearance, Texan 123, VFR to _____ <working area>, _____ <time enroute>.”

Stereo Routes

• Pre-determined flight plans for ease of filing

• Most common destinations & profiles

• Find in In-flight Guide & FWOP

• Call in to Base Operations prior to walking to aircraft (aircraft callsign & stereo route)

Ground Control(UHF preset Ch3)

• Controls the movement of aircraft and vehicles on aerodrome

• Does not control the duty runway

• Provides non-radar flight following via flight plan (closes/opens)

Ground Control(UHF preset Ch3)

• To taxi out of parking:

“North Ground, Texan 123, B22 <parking spot>, taxi with Echo <ATIS>.”

Ground: “Texan 123, taxi to the primary/alternate run-up, advise further taxi.”

• To taxi out of run-up to runway:

“North Ground, Texan 123, primary/alternate run-up, further taxi.”

Ground: “Texan 123, runway XX, taxi via _____ <applicable taxiways>, cross runway XX <if applicable>.”

(read back clearance)

• Common taxi clearance routes:

– Rwy 05: (alternate run-up area) Taxi via Alpha

– Rwy 14: Cross rwy 5-23, taxi via Bravo, Delta

– Rwy 23: Cross rwy 14-32, taxi via Echo

– Rwy 32: Taxi via Gulf, Foxtrot

Taxi Rules

• All taxiways are bi-directional

• Outbound traffic has right of way and will follow the most direct route to the ground run-up area using the hub

• Taxi single file with minimum of one aircraft nose-to-tail separation (except formations)

• No taxi within 50’ of fueling operations

• In line area, taxi no faster than walking speed (7 kts max)

• Outside line area, taxi no faster than a run (12 kts max)

Parking Rows & Outbound Flow

• West Line Parking

– Alpha thru Delta Rows

– Spots 1-26

• Rows A-C Flow

– Turn right out of parking

– Spots 1-5 may “back taxi” (left turn out of

parking) to alt run-up via taxiway Alpha

– May have to “back taxi” to another row if

fuel truck blocking your main row

• Row D Flow

– Turn left out of parking then proceed down

first available row (A-C)

– Spots 20-26 may “back taxi” (right out of

parking)

• Solo students not allowed to back taxi

Parking Rows & Outbound Flow

• North Line Parking

– Fox thru Hotel Rows

– Spots 1-21

• Rows F-H Flow

– Turn right out of parking

– May have to “back taxi” to another row

if fuel truck blocking your main row

• Solo students not allowed to back taxi

Outbound Taxi Routes

• Look out for people/vehicles while taxing down parking rows

• Use caution for other acftwhen exiting rows

• Hub/Run-up areas are high traffic areas

• Pass other traffic (ahead of you) only if they are stopped and you receive clearance to do so by Ground

• Rwys 14/23/32 utilize primary run-up

• Rwy 05 utilize alternate run-up

Takeoff & Departures

Control Tower(UHF preset Ch4)

• Controls the movement of aircraft on duty runway and in pattern

• Controls airspace from SFC to 4,200’ / approx 5 NM around airfield on the north side

• Point Waldo (west) & Point Easy (east) used as entry points

Approaching Runway

• 200’ prior to hold short line change to Tower frequency (Ch4)

• Call Tower for takeoff or when #1 or #2 in sequence at the hold short:

“North Tower, Texan 123, rwy 05, #1 ready for departure (IFR when applicable)”

“North Tower, Texan 123, rwy 05, #2 ready for departure, (IFR when applicable)”

• Notes:– All student solo will stop prior to calling Tower

– Aircraft departing IFR from app end of rwy 14/32 will position on the outboard side of the taxiway to avoid blocking VFR departures (day only)

– Aircraft may stagger at the hold short line

Takeoff Instructions

• Tower will direct “cleared for takeoff”, “line up and wait” or “hold short”

• Read back all instructions to Tower

• Do not spend excessive time on runway (line up checks / power up)

• If cleared to “line up and wait”, do not power up until cleared for takeoff

Home Field Departure

• Over upwind numbers turn :

- Runway 05/14 - 010°

- Runway 23/32 – 340°

• Do not penetrate South Whiting airspace without approval from

Tower. Langley Road is North/South Field dividing line.

• Level off at 700’-800’ MSL and accelerate until clear of the traffic

pattern (may exceed 200 KIAS)

• 4-C (Clear, Click, Climb, Call) when leaving pattern. Advise

Departure Control if deviations necessary for clouds/traffic:

“Pensacola Departure, Texan 123, passing X,XXX <altitude>”

Initial traffic

Dep traffic

Example Departure on Rwy 14

Home Field Departure(VFR Departures to Non-MOA Working Areas)

(whichever occurs first), turn to heading of 270°

– On departure heading climb to 4,500’ MSL. When instructed by ATC to “climb to

requested altitude”, climb to 6,500’ MSL

KNSE VFR Departures Procedures

squawk 1200 or 4700 as req, proceed to your working area

• Mandatory if:

– Directed by Tower

– Set up for an incorrect runway (immediate climb to 2,700’ MSL)

– Landing rwy 14/23 and about to go south of Langley Road (without clearance to

do so)

Dicontinued Entry

(as req)

Landing

• Should land in first 1500’ of runway or

waveoff

• Spacing (measured from rwy threshold /

only TW-5 acft / VFR)

– 1,500’ separation T&G behind T&G

(preceding aircraft airborne)

– 1,500’ separation full stop behind T&G

(preceding aircraft airborne)

– 1,500’ separation full stop behind full stop

– 4,500’ separation T&G behind full stop

Landing Zone

(additional 500’ from IPT)

Landing

• Rwy 32 approach turn to final (see next slide picture)

– Recommend aircrew use approximately ¼ WTD south of Langley Road at the

90° position

– Aircrew shall avoid going any further south than the tree line that parallels the

north side of Rwy 23/5 at South Field

• To reduce the possibility of a blown tire:

– Wait until 80 KIAS or less to begin braking, except in an emergency

– Exit the runway at KNSE after the mid-field turn off (except rwy 05)

– Solo students shall exit at the departure end taxiway on all runways

• Once clear of active runway, switch to Ground (Ch3)

“North Ground, Texan 123, Return”

Ground: “Texan 123, We have you back, you’re closed out, taxi to your line”

“Texan 123, cleared to land rwy 14”

No further south

than tree line

KNSE Waveoff

• Given by Tower, RDO, wheels watch, or in some cases other aircraft, requires mandatory compliance

• Should execute if unable to land in first 1500’ of runway or anytime an unsafe situation developing

• Mandatory or elected waveoff shall climb to pattern altitude over the runway unless otherwise directed by North Tower

• Request clearance from the tower to turn downwind for landing and comply with tower instructions

• Recheck the landing checklist and follow normal landing procedures

KNSE Delta

• Emergency Orbit Pattern used

for visual inspection or special

assistance

• Racetrack pattern similar to

OLF Delta Pattern

• 2500’ MSL

• 120 KIAS, gear down, flaps up

• Primarily for landing gear

inspections

• When ready to depart, notify

Tower and follow instructions

Example Delta Rwy 14

Taxi Back

• When clear of the duty runway:– Aircraft shall stop

– Accomplish first 3 steps of After Landing Checklist

– Contact Ground (Ch3)

(Technique: remember “first 3 to channel 3”)

• Completing the rest of the checklist while taxiing is at pilots discretion

• Ensure you allow sufficient space on the taxiway, after clearing runway, for aircraft landing behind you
