BIRD WATCH CONDITION (BWC) CODE INFORMATION -The local bird situation changes throughout the year with migrant birds such as geese, ducks, gulls, shorebirds, raptors, crows, doves, swallows, starlings, and blackbirds posing the highest threats during migration periods. Resident species also cause potential hazards throughout the year. Bird Watch Conditions will only be in effect when the 180th FW Supervisor of Flying (SOF), Airfield Manager, or their Representative is on duty (DSN 580-4036/4084). If the Bird Watch Condition is Moderate or Severe with a 180th FW representative on duty, the condition will be broadcast on ATIS as “Military Bird Condition Moderate/Severe”. All aircrews have the responsibility to provide time sensitive information on bird activity to the 180th FW operations callsign “Beehive” on (138.425 338.9). Restrictions apply to all military operations at Toledo (KTOL) Express. The following are Bird Watch Conditions and associated restrictions.
a.
Bird Watch Condition SEVERE. Bird activity on or immediately above the active runway or other specific location representing high potential for strikes. Aircrews must thoroughly evaluate mission need before operating in areas under condition SEVERE. Only full stop landings are permitted. Takeoffs are prohibited. The SOF may consider changing runways, delaying landings, diverting aircraft, changing pattern altitude, etc.
b.
Bird Watch Condition MODERATE. Bird activity near the active runway or other specific location representing increased potential for strikes. This condition requires increased vigilance by all agencies and extreme caution by aircrews. Flying is restricted to single ship takeoffs and single ship full stop approach and landings. Simulated flameout and chase procedures for currencies and check rides are not permitted. Pilots will avoid bird activities to the maximum extent possible.
c.
Bird Watch Condition LOW. Bird activity on and around the airfield representing low potential for strikes. No restrictions. Normal operations.
