Questions and answers

When are Phase I BASH procedures in effect?

When the local bird population is comprised mostly of indigenous birds rather than migrating birds, Phase I BASH procedures, as outlined in AFI 11-2C-17V3, FCBs and/or FCIFs are in effect. (paragraph 1)

Who establishes a Phase II period at Joint Base Charleston and NAAF?

The 437 OG/CC establishes a Phase II period at Joint Base Charleston and NAAF based on the bird migration period, increased bird strike incidents and whether or not Phase II procedures would have prevented the strikes. (paragraph 1)

What does Bird Watch Condition measure?

Completely separate from the BASH Phase I or II distinction, the BWC measures an immediate and continuously changing bird threat at Joint Base Charleston and NAAF. (paragraph 1)

What defines Bird Watch Condition SEVERE?

Wildlife activity on or immediately above the active runway or other specific location(s) representing a high potential for strikes. (paragraph 1)
