General Information

The Supplement provides reference data and flight procedures for military flight crews. It is

designed for use with corresponding enroute charts. Related information can be found in the

Flight Information Handbook, AP/1 and the High/Low Altitude Terminal Approach booklets. A

vertical line in the left margin indicates new or revised data. General Information includes the

ICAO phonetic alphabet and Morse code.

Airport/Facility Directory

The Airport/Facility Directory contains listings for airports which have a published DOD

(high/low altitude) Instrument Approach Procedure and/or Radar Approach minima. Canadian

and Mexican airports portrayed on charts for emergency use, or those requested by military

service are also listed. The legend has sample listings for an airport (HOG HOLLER INTL), an

FSS (NGHAM Radio) and an ARTCC (MARIE CENTER). Items in the sample listing can be

interpreted using the legend and the abbreviations. At a glance, an NFO should be able to

interpret the following:

1. Field - DOD NOT AM coverage, three letter identifier, military tenants, lat/long, elevation,

time zone, chart coverage.

Runways - dimensions, surface, displaced threshold, arresting gear.

Service - JASU, fuel, oxygen availability, restrictions, single point refueling (SP)

capability.

4. Remarks - hours of operations, restrictions (PPR, OFFL BUS ONLY), cautions, traffic

pattern, supplementary airport coverage.

Communications - SFA, ATC frequencies, ATIS and METRO availability, Class C

airspace.

NAVAIDs - type, frequency, channel, location.

ILS/RADAR - type approach available, restrictions.
