5.3 OLYMPIC COAST NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY (OCNMS). The OCNMS

was established off the coast of Washington in 1994 as part of

the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The OCNMS underlies the

western portion of the OLYMPIC A&B MOA and the eastern parts of

W-237 A&B. Bombing is prohibited within the OCNMS boundaries.

Live firing of guns, missiles, torpedoes, and chaff and Anti-

submarine warfare operations are permitted (15CFR

§922.152(d)(1)(i)(B) and (D)). All Department of Defense

military activities shall be carried out in a manner that

avoids, to the maximum extent practicable, any adverse impacts

on Sanctuary resources and qualities (15CFR §922.152(d)(1)).

OCNMS Rules (15CFR §922 Subpart O) do not apply to non-U.S.

military activities in international waters and airspace (beyond

5.5 REAL-TIME COORDINATION. Seattle ARTCC releases SUA on a

real-time basis and requires a 30-minute notice prior to

entering any Warning Area so the area can be cleared of IFR

traffic. For coordination purposes, it is the responsibility of

the mission commander to ensure that Whidbey Clearance Delivery

or Seattle ARTCC is notified at least 30 minutes prior to

scheduled Warning Area entry time.

5.6 OPERATING PROCEDURES

1. MARSA is a condition that applies to those aircraft

operating within the Warning Areas. If more than one unit is

scheduled to operate within a Warning Area, each unit will be

briefed on the vertical and/or lateral assignments of the other

units by the Range Schedules Division.

2. All operations within W-237 are subject to a Letter of

Agreement between NAS Whidbey Island, Seattle ARTCC, and Oakland

ARTCC. Using and scheduling agency is NAS Whidbey Island. No

military operations are permitted within these warning areas

without prior approval.

3. Aircrews shall not expect to enter Warning Areas before

their scheduled entry time. Seattle ARTCC will not issue entry

clearance for early arrivals if the Warning Area is in use.

4. All aircraft shall have operable CNI equipment on all

flights. A malfunction of CNI equipment is cause to

cancel/abort missions.

5. Pilots cleared to operate within the Warning Areas are

responsible for remaining within the vertical and lateral

confines of the Warning Area as specified in the ATC clearance.

CAUTION

During

coordinated

surface-air

events,

movements

and/or location of surface units shall not cause air

units to "SPILLOUT" of assigned OPAREA(S).

NOTE

Seattle

ARTCC

equipped

with

error

detection

software

to ascertain when spillouts occur.

Pilot

deviation reports will be filed when spillouts are

detected.

6. Aircraft operating in Warning Areas and ATCAAs shall squawk

Modes II and IV, as directed by higher authority, and shall

5-10

NASWHIDBEYINST 3770.1E

12 Jul 10

squawk the Mode III discrete code as assigned by ATC. If

aircraft do not have Mode IV capability, advise Bigfoot prior to

launch of OPAREA scheduled time. Airborne Mode IV checks are

available from Bigfoot on 364.3 MHZ.

7. Carrier operations that involve aircraft flight operations

within W-237 must obtain Mode III discrete codes from NAS

Whidbey Island Air Traffic Control. Requests for a block of

Mode III discrete codes shall be made via message and formatted

per paragraph 2.5.1.

8. Gunnery or live ordnance exercises shall not be conducted

within 10 NM of the coastline.

9. Aircrews are responsible for ensuring that surface area of

impact zones is clear.

10. Aircraft operating within W-237 must file for ADIZ

penetration unless operating under positive control of Bigfoot

or Seattle ARTCC. Communications within the western segment of

W-237 with Bigfoot is marginal. HF communications are available

from McClellan Airways.

11. Unless safety of flight dictates, no aircraft shall depart

assigned Warning Areas until an ATC clearance is received from

Seattle ARTCC. Under normal circumstances, aircraft should

provide Seattle ARTCC at least 5 minutes advance notice of

intent to depart assigned warning areas. This provides needed

time for flight data processing and coordination when required.

12. Lost communications shall be as outlined in DOD FLIP.

13. UNICOM/SAFE HAVEN procedures are as follows:

a. All aircraft entering a W-237 area will contact Seattle

ARTCC on appropriate frequency (see Table 1 or 5.1.4) for entry

using call sign and appropriate event number. Event numbers

will be assigned by Range Schedules Division at (360) 257-2877.

If multiple aircraft are scheduled for the same event, or co-use

of the area is approved, upon entering W-237 aircraft will check

in via the appropriate UNICOM frequency with call sign and event

number. If no communications with other aircraft can be

established aircraft will proceed to SAFE HAVEN described by a

lateral area extending from the border of the W-237 to 3 NM into

the Warning Area assigned (Illustration 9). Additionally

altitudes for each SAFE HAVEN area are described in Illustration

9. Once established in the SAFE HAVEN area aircraft will

continue to try and contact playmates or co-use aircraft if

still no communications can be established with other aircraft

then aircraft will coordinate exiting W-237 with Seattle ARTCC.

5-11

NASWHIDBEYINST 3770.1E

12 Jul 10

b. When ready to exit W-237 aircraft will coordinate with

Seattle ARTCC on appropriate frequency (see 5.1.4) prior to

leaving assigned area. If multiple aircraft for the same event

are in W-237 the last aircraft departing the Warning Area shall

advise Seattle ARTCC, i.e.

“SEATTLE CENTER PUGET52 EVENT 30001

LAST AIRCRAFT OUT.” Upon reporting last aircraft out, Seattle

ARTCC will close the event number and the airspace will be

deactivated.

5.7 ELECTRONIC COUNTERMEASURES (ECM)

1. The Continental United States ECM Area extends to the outer

boundaries of the coastal ADIZ or a perimeter 150 NM seaward

from the coastal states, whichever is farther out, except where

this infringes on territorial limits of other nations/states.

2. Procedures for conducting ECM, including method of request

and required limitations, are set forth in OPNAVINST 3430.9

(series), AFR 55-44, and applicable COMVAQWINGPAC instructions.

3. West-to-east (towards coastline) ECM runs should not be made

due to potential interference with FAA Radars/NAVAIDS.

4. In addition, use of chaff requires coordination with Western

Air Defense Sector DQM/AST; telephone DSN 382-4342; COMM (253)

982-4342.

5.8 CANADIAN MARITIME PACIFIC (MARPAC) COORDINATION

1. Coordination with Canadian MARPAC Headquarters at Esquimalt

Naval Base, Victoria, B.C., is recommended for any operations

within the Canadian ADIZ.

2. PLAD: MARPACHQ ESQUIMALT CAN

3. Telephone: DSN 319-255-2415/2715; COMM (250) 363-2425/2715.

5.9 HELICOPTER SERVICES. Helicopter services in the PACNORWEST

TRCM OPAREAS are limited. Units desiring services shall submit

requests to NAS WHIDBEY ISLAND WA//N3/N331//, info COMNAVAIRPAC

SAN DIEGO CA//N3/N7// and COMNAVREGNW SEATTLE WA//N3/N00P// for

validation and approval 14 days prior to desired services.

5.10 POST OVERHAUL REQUIREMENTS. Surface units completing an

availability/overhaul at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS) shall

coordinate airspace requirements/aircraft services with the PSNS

Combat Systems Branch (Code 290) at DSN 439-7106, COMM (360)

CHAPTER 7

CVN OPERATING PROCEDURES

7.1 GENERAL. To standardize procedures for PACNORWEST TRCM CVN

air and surface operations, this chapter outlines procedures

that shall be utilized when conducting flight operations within

the W-237 complex, CYA102, CYR109 and Strait of Juan De Fuca.

The following procedures have been coordinated with the FAA and

are designed to reduce the disruption of CVN training while

providing a safe flying environment for both military and civil

air traffic. CVN operations, which involve flights to shore

stations, are to be conducted per appropriate air traffic

control directives and procedures outlined herein to preclude

air traffic control problems with the FAA, military ATC

Facilities and the WADS. Adherence to these procedures will

alleviate many potential problem areas, enhance training, and

provide the following:

1. Standardization of flight information messages for relay of

flight plan information, ADIZ penetration coordination, Altitude

Reservation Airspace (ALTRV) usage, and ATCAA/warning area/

restricted area scheduling and usage.

2. Communications with shore facilities, surface/air platforms,

WADS and FAA Seattle ARTCC.

3. Adequate lead-times for altitude/airspace reservations.

4. Timely clearance for aircraft entering the National Airspace

System, Class B and C airspace, warning areas, ATCAA, or ALTRV.

7.2 COORDINATION

7.2.1 Planning Conference. Prior to any underway period

involving flight operations, a face-to-face meeting shall be

held at least 3 working days in advance to discuss operations.

Air Operations, Strike Operations, and air wing personnel will

meet with NAS Whidbey Island Operations Department to discuss

the following items of interest:

1. Planned PACNORWEST TRCM exercises and flight operations.

2. Coordinate OPAREA/airspace planning briefs.

3. Confirm OPAREA reservations, obtain ALTRV/MOAs/ATCAAs as

required.

4. Use of Canadian airspace.

7.2.2 ATC briefs/liaison Shipriders. Upon request, NAS Whidbey

Island will furnish orientation teams capable of briefing

AIROPS/CATCC/AIRWING personnel on OPAREA procedures and

interfacing with the National Airspace System. In addition, ATC

personnel are available to serve as onboard liaison during at-

sea periods. Requests for orientation briefs/ship riders can be

arranged by contacting ATC (Code N33) at DSN 820-2132, COMM

(360) 257-2132.

7.3 PRE-SAIL COORDINATION MESSAGES

7.3.1 Summary of Operations. No less than 48 hours prior to

commencement of AIROPS, the carrier shall send a summary of

intended air operations by message to NAS Whidbey Island,

concerned FAA facilities, NORAD, Canadian military/ATC and other

appropriate facilities. Anticipated AIROPS for the entire

period shall be listed. This message does not rescind or

supersede airspace request procedures found in other sections of

this manual, or replace divert alert/Notice of Intent/IFF

messages as required by higher authority.

7.3.2 Divert Alerts. Divert Alert requests shall be submitted

per higher authority instructions. NAS Whidbey Island is a 24-

hour airfield; however, additional personnel are required to

support CVN divert/bingo operations. Accuracy of divert alert

periods is essential to ensure support of CVN contingencies.

7.3.3 OPAREA Requests. Users shall submit OPAREA requirements

to NAS Whidbey Island Range Schedules Division per chapter 2 of

this manual. Due to rapidly changing sea conditions, short fuse

requests or changes will be accepted by phone/e-mail or airborne

relay.

7.3.4 ALTRV Requests. CVNs shall submit ALTRV requirements for

domestic airspace to FAA CARF Washington DC, info FAA SEATTLE

ARTCC AUBURN WA/MOS// and WESTERN AIR DEF SX MCCHORD AFB

WA//IS/SOCC/DOOS//. Requests shall be made per Special Military

Operations FAA Handbook 7610.4, part 3 (OPNAVINST 3722.33) no

less than 6 days prior to COMEX of flight OPS to ensure approval

and NOTAM promulgation to users of Special Use Airspace.

7.3.5 IFF Requests. A request for IFF code assignment shall be

received NLT 3 days prior to at-sea period. In lieu of message,

IFF codes may be assigned at the pre-sail conference.

7.4 FLIGHT PLANNING

7.4.1 OPAREA Modifications. To ensure airspace availability,

users shall submit OPAREA modification requests no later than

1500L the day prior. Submit ALTRV/ATCAA modification requests

as soon as practicable to ensure ARTCC ability to coordinate

requested modification. Verification of receipt of critical

messages (i.e. short notice OPAREA modifications, change of

flight operations, incident, mishaps, etc.) by phone

communications, when practical, is recommended.

7.4.2 Daily Air Plan. To permit NAS Whidbey Island and other

appropriate agencies to prepare for upcoming flight operations,

the CVN shall include NAS Whidbey Island and other appropriate

agencies as an addee on the daily Air Plan.

7-3

NASWHIDBEYINST 3770.1E

12 Jul 10

7.4.3 Flight Information Messages. In order to recognize and

identify naval aircraft operating in the Pacific Coast ADIZ,

CADIZ, flight information (flight advisories, launch advisories,

flight plans) shall be passed to NORAD (WESTERN AIR DEF SX

MCCHORD AFB WA) include NAS Whidbey Island, FAA Seattle ARTCC

and cognizant area commanders as info addees.

7.4.4 Flight Plans. Navy and FAA facilities must be kept informed

of all aircraft that will enter the National Airspace System. To

ensure timely filing, flight plans should be sent to NAS Whidbey

Island listing all action addees above. Every effort should be

made to use Stereo Routes contained in Appendix 1.

1. A minimum lead-time of 2 hours is required if filing Stereo

Routes, and 4 hours for non-stereo routes. With ample

notification via phone relay or relay from airborne platform,

unscheduled flights will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

2. Once filed, flight plans are valid for 30 minutes prior to

and 2 hours after proposed launch time.

3. Aircraft may enter the National Airspace System as singles,

sections, or waves, but individual call signs/squawks (although

in standby) are required for each aircraft in the event of

emergencies, IMC, or separation of the flight. Filed call signs

will be retained throughout the flight. Use of other than filed

call signs for the mission can cause confusion with ATC agencies

and possibly result in a delay in obtaining clearance or

assistance, use of tactical call signs is permitted.

4. NAS Whidbey Island Base Operations will file all CVN flight

plans.

7.4.5 Overhead Messages. To ensure aircrews receive CVN

overhead times, include NAS WHIDBEY ISLAND WA/N3/N33/N331// as

an addee on all overhead messages. A copy will be retained at

the NAS Whidbey Island ODO desk for reference.

7.5 AT-SEA COORDINATION. Pre-sail coordination is the best

method to articulate user requirements. However, it is

understood that various events can and will effect planned

evolutions. At-sea, to ensure receipt of special requests,

airspace coordination, or flight plans, message traffic with

proper lead times is the preferred method of communication.

When time precludes use of message traffic, phone conversation

or airborne relay is an acceptable substitute. Use of e-mail

messages is encouraged; however, e-mail notification cannot be

considered complete unless response e-mail is received from NAS

Whidbey Island confirming the action or responding to a request.

Some examples of at-sea coordination:

7-4

NASWHIDBEYINST 3770.1E

12 Jul 10

1. Notification of secured flight operations (cold deck

notification required)

2. Short fused flight plans.

3. Warning area airspace changes.

4. Coordination to move to Strait of Juan De Fuca due to W-237

weather/sea states.

5. Extensions of divert alert periods.

7.6.3 Air-to-Ground Communications. Aircraft operating within

100 miles of NAS Whidbey Island should experience good air-

ground communications with NAS Whidbey Island ATC on the

frequencies listed in Table 5. Aircraft operating in the W-237

complex should be able to maintain adequate communications with

FAA SEATTLE ARTCC (319.2/125.1), except at lower altitudes.

Flight leader or communications relay aircraft shall contact

SEATTLE ARTCC at least 5 minutes prior to obtain clearances and

to alleviate any enroute delays. This will also permit flight

participants to continue with their mission while the clearance

is being obtained. All aircraft operating within the W-237

complex are required to contact Seattle Center for entry/exit

approval. This may be accomplished by individual aircraft

commanders or through the designated communications aircraft.

7.7 BINGO/DIVERTS TO SHORE FACILITIES

7.7.1 Bingo. A bingo aircraft inbound to a shore facility is an

emergency and will be assimilated into the National Airspace

System as expeditiously as possible. However, FAA publications

do not define the term bingo as an emergency, nor is it

indicative to FAA personnel that an aircraft is experiencing

difficulties. To ensure priority handling, aircrew shall

declare an emergency, stating the nature of the emergency, i.e.,

"EMERGENCY LOW FUEL," "PORT ENGINE OUT," etc. Once an emergency

has been declared, if not already selected, IFF transponder will

be set to the appropriate emergency code. Remain on that code

until directed by ATC.

WARNING

Aircraft unable to contact ATC shall not enter

Positive Controlled Airspace unless squawking the

appropriate emergency code.

7-6

NASWHIDBEYINST 3770.1E

12 Jul 10

7.7.2 Diverts

1. An aircraft inbound to a shore facility without an emergency

is simply a divert. No special handling should be expected by

the divert aircraft. If fuel state becomes a concern, aircrew

shall state "Minimum Fuel" to the ATC facility when the aircraft

reaches minimum fuel state as defined by NATOPS.

2. When diverts involve multiple aircraft, advance announcement

of the divert to the controlling agency by the lead aircraft (or

airborne relay) will greatly assist ATC and reduce aircraft

delays. At a minimum, the number of aircraft inbound and

destination should be provided.

7.8 CONDUCT OF FLIGHT

7.8.1 W-237 Complex Operations. All flights operating within

the W-237 complex are required to remain in "due regard" status

per OPNAVINST 3770.4 (series) until radar contact is established

by FAA Center.

7.8.2 Strait of Juan de Fuca/Puget Sound Operations. The Strait

of Juan de Fuca and the Puget Sound are not SUA, and as such,

Federal Air Regulations and standard air traffic control

procedures are applicable. "Due Regard" is not authorized

within the Puget Sound/Strait of Juan de Fuca. All aircraft,

not on an IFR flight plan, shall follow standard VFR procedures.

Specific procedures for operating within this airspace are

contained in Paragraph 7.9.

7.9 STRAIT OF JUAN DE FUCA (SOJDF) CARRIER OPERATIONS

7.9.1 GENERAL SPECIAL USE AIRSPACE. Specifically a warning area

is designated as an operational area for potentially hazardous

military air and surface activity. The SOJDF, however, has not

been designated as SUA, and safety precautions normally

exercised in association for flight within warning areas are not

present. Therefore, to enhance safety with the SOJDF, local

procedures have been developed to permit CVNs to conduct limited

flight operations in close proximity to civilian users.

7.9.2 CVN use of SOJDF. CVNs are strongly encouraged to use W-

237 complex for flight operations. When missions or W-237

weather/sea conditions restrict use of the Warning Areas, the

SOJDF may be used for limited flight operations. Scheduling and

use of SOJDF is controlled and must be pre-coordinated at a pre-

sail conference. The following restrictions apply:

1. Day time, Case 1 only.

7-7

NASWHIDBEYINST 3770.1E

12 Jul 10

2. Limit six aircraft in CVN pattern.

3. All aircraft must monitor Whidbey Approach Control Frequency

in addition to CVN L/L.

4. All aircraft must be on discrete beacon codes.

5. Minimum of 2 1/2 hour lead-time is required for NOTAM

broadcast.

6. When able, a radio or phone communication link shall be

maintained between CVN CATCC and Whidbey Approach.

7. CVN is responsible for scheduling Canadian OPAREAS.

8. Participating aircrew shall attend brief on SOJDF

operations.

7.9.3 SOJDF Airspace for CVN Use

1. A portion of airspace within the SOJDF has been locally

designated for CVN flight operations (Illustration 6). This

airspace is of sufficient size for both aircraft operations and

surface navigation purposes and should be used by CVNs to the

maximum extent practical due to added safety benefits,

specifically, ship-to-shore/air-to-ground communications and ATC

RADAR coverage. In this designated area, all CVN aircraft will

be provided RADAR traffic advisories by NAS Whidbey Approach

Control on a discrete frequency or on the CVN land launch

button.

2. Aircraft operations in the Strait of Juan De Fuca involve

many different types of aircraft from seaplanes to air carriers.

A high mid-air collision potential exists. Additionally, many

of the air carrier aircraft that transit the SOJDF each day are

equipped with TCAS equipment. A TCAS incident can be avoided

when both military and civil aircraft are receiving traffic

advisories from a controlling agency. Use of the designated

OPAREA and compliance with local operating procedures are key to

deconflicting civil and military traffic that operate within the

SOJDF.

CAUTION

High

8.3.1 Target (1). General Description. The main target is a T-60

Tank. There are four concentric circles around the bull at 100,

500, 1000, and 1500 feet. There is a 6000-foot square centered on

the bull. At 650 feet MSL there are two offset reflectors to

support the main bull, Target #2 and Target #3.

8.3.2 Navigation Check Point. Carty Coal Plant, 45 41.608N/119

48.430W, 1352 feet MSL (top of stacks).

8.4 STRAFING PIT. Located south-southwest of the Main Bull at

45 42.545N/119 41.939W. Strafing procedures are:

a. Upon entering Restricted Area R-5701 make a radio call in

the blind to “BOARDMAN RANGE” stating: aircraft call sign,

position relative to intended target (e.g., “entering R-5701, 8 NM

Southwest of Strafe Pit”),altitude (e.g. “Angels X”), number and

type weapons to be released (e.g. “900 Rounds PGU-27 TP & TP-t”)

and number of passes on target including initial clearing pass and

direction of turns for multiple runs (e.g. “5 passes, left

turns”).

b. High and low angle strafing is approved.

c. A “GUNS COLD” initial clearing pass over the strafe pit

will be accomplished to ensure a clear range before commencing

strafing runs.

d. A “BOARDMAN RANGE, [call sign], strafe pit, hot guns”

LGTRs or other inert ordnance not to exceed 25 pounds may be used

on all targets (with exception of #2 and #3 radar reflectors).

Inert 2.75 FFAR Rockets are authorized on any metal tactical

target. Five-inch practice Zuni rockets or inert ordnance up to

1000 pounds may be expended on the LGB and offset bull. Flares or

other incendiary devices are specifically prohibited. Any items

brought to the Boardman Range must be taken off the range when the

unit departs. This includes, but is not limited to, any HAZMAT,

spent brass or anything else brought aboard the range.

8.7 PATTERNS. Flight profiles will normally adhere to a left

hand pattern or as directed by the flight lead. When more than

one flight is scheduled in the range at the same time, flight

leads must have completed a face-to-face brief to include,

altitude, patterns, and lost sight/abort procedures.

8.8 EXIT PROCEDURES. Unless safety of flight dictates, no

aircraft intending IFR flight shall depart the Boardman Complex

until an ATC clearance is received from Seattle ARTCC. Under

normal circumstances, aircraft should provide Seattle ARTCC at

least 5 minute advance notice of intent to depart. This

provides needed time for flight data processing and coordination

when required.

Threat Emitter Simulators are available in NWSTF Boardman. They

are designated Emitter Alpha and Emitter Bravo. These two

Emitters radiate in the I BAND frequency spectrum. They are for

basic level training; however, schedule and frequencies can be

modified for more advanced training needs. Operation of these

units is Tuesday through Thursday 0800 to 1600. Any other time

or special training needs will require a minimum of 48 hours,

prior to the training event, scheduling. Unless otherwise

scheduled the Emitters will radiate from the following locations

in the following established directions:
