NOTAM for Iraq

Guys,

FYI:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 8, 2014
Contact: Kristie M. Greco
Phone: (202) 267-3883

New Notice to Airmen Issued for Iraq

The Federal Aviation Administration today issued a new Notice-To-Airmen (NOTAM) restricting US operators from flying in the airspace above Iraq due to the hazardous situation created by the armed conflict. The new NOTAM supersedes previous FAA guidance for this airspace.

The NOTAM reads:

!FDC 4/1621 ZZZ SECURITY …IRAQ … POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION—IRAQ AIRSPACE

DUE TO THE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION CREATED BY THE ARMED CONFLICT BETWEEN MILITANTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ISLAMIC STATE IN IRAQ AND THE LEVANT AND IRAQI SECURITY FORCES AND THEIR ALLIES, ALL FLIGHT OPERATIONS IN THE BAGHDAD FLIGHT INFORMATION REGION (ORBB) BY THE PERSONS DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH A BELOW ARE PROHIBITED UNTIL FURTHER ADVISED.

A. APPLICABILITY. THIS NOTAM APPLIES TO: ALL U.S. AIR CARRIERS AND COMMERCIAL OPERATORS; ALL PERSONS EXERCISING THE PRIVILEGES OF AN AIRMAN CERTIFICATE ISSUED BY THE FAA, EXCEPT SUCH PERSONS OPERATING U.S.-REGISTERED AIRCRAFT FOR A FOREIGN AIR CARRIER; AND ALL OPERATORS OF AIRCRAFT REGISTERED IN THE UNITED STATES, EXCEPT WHERE THE OPERATOR OF SUCH AIRCRAFT IS A FOREIGN AIR CARRIER.

B. PERMITTED OPERATIONS. THIS NOTAM DOES NOT PROHIBIT PERSONS DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH A FROM CONDUCTING FLIGHT OPERATIONS WITHIN THE BAGHDAD FLIGHT INFORMATION REGION (ORBB) WHEN SUCH OPERATIONS ARE AUTHORIZED EITHER BY ANOTHER AGENCY OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE FAA OR BY A DEVIATION, EXEMPTION, OR OTHER AUTHORIZATION ISSUED BY THE ADMINISTRATOR. OPERATORS SHOULD CALL THE FAA WASHINGTON OPERATIONS CENTER AT 202-267-3333 FOR FAA AUTHORIZATION OF OPERATIONS.

C. EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. IN AN EMERGENCY THAT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE DECISION AND ACTION FOR THE SAFETY OF THE FLIGHT, THE PILOT IN COMMAND OF AN AIRCRAFT MAY DEVIATE FROM THIS NOTAM TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY THAT EMERGENCY.

THE PROHIBITION ON OPERATIONS IN THE AIRSPACE SPECIFIED IN THIS NOTAM AND THE ASSOCIATED JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS SPECIAL NOTICE WILL BE RE-EVALUATED BY 31 DEC 2014.

Well this is different.

DC KC-135 57-1479 is using the callsign VENUS23.



This morning I picked up a ground-based mode-S/ADS-B signal.
ADFC2C at 375ft N38.9223 W77.20514 ID was MTR1TEST

The location is the Mitre office in Tysons Corner.

VENUS23 is odd. Maybe its because its transitioning to somewhere and taking passengers?

Also:
FELON 32 C-130H 93-1039 700th AS/90th AW Dobbins AFB
BISON 85 C-130H 91-9142 328th AS/914th AW Niagara Falls NY
RCH 165 C-17A 04-4136 6th AS/305th AMW McGuire AFB
RCH 978 C-5A 70-0760 167th AS WV ANG, Charleston, WV

are flying around on ADS-B

Don't think you have the tail number correct, last 70 is 0467. Maybe you mean 70-0460 that used to be at Stewart and is now with the 167th at Martinsburg.
Your correct. Fat Fingers was 70-0460. I totally got that wrong.

I logged something with the hex code 001234. Not sure what it was. My planeplotter log doesn't record altitude so no idea if that was the high flyer.

I have following freqs for KMRB:

124.3 tower
126.825 Potomac approach
297.9 Pikeside CP

Are these valid?


124.3/233.7 tower and 297.9 167th AW CP (Pikeside Control) are accurate. Don't usually have 126.825 in my rotation but it is Potomac (ground side at -50db at my location).
