 AIRFIELD SURVEY CHECKLIST

1. General:

a. The Airfield Survey Checklist is in two parts; Part I, Airfield Data and Part II, Airfield Support.
Part I is designed to provide information which will be used to determine if the airfield can
physically accept an airlift or tanker aircraft, eg., C-5, C-17, C-141, KC-10, and Commercial B-
747, DC-10, DC-8, etc. Part II is designed to provide information, which will be used to
determine if the airfield has the facilities to support an airlift or tanker operation.

b. Include representatives from LG, TR, CE, SE, etc., on the Airfield Survey Team, as required.
Personnel accomplishing the airfield survey should contact appropriate host airfield officials to
obtain required information.

c. The Airfield Survey Checklist should be completed in as much detail as possible. Attach
supporting information (digital photographs, maps, charts, and diagrams) to the survey checklist
whenever possible, to furnish required information.

2. Runway, Taxiway, and Parking Area Data:

a. Identify and complete data blocks on all runways, taxiways, and parking areas whether they are
active or inactive.

b. Include digital photographs (if possible) and an airfield diagram or sketch labeling each of the
above.

c. Identify specific taxi routes and parking areas on the airfield diagram/sketch.

d. List the published runway, taxiway, or apron strengths by at least on of the following designations:

T – Twin gear rating

ST – Single Tandem gear rating

TT – Twin Tandem gear rating

TDT – Twin Delta Tandem gear rating

ESWL – Equivalent Single Wheel Loading (Include associated tire pressure if available.)

LCN- Load Classification Number

When listing T, ST, TT, or TDT, include the other ratings, if available (e.g., if T is given, attempt
to obtain the ST, TT, and TDT rating). If data source is current FLIP, confirm with appropriate
airport official/civil engineers. If other ratings are not available, do not convert. Every effort
should be made to furnish a LCN at airports that will support civilian aircraft.

e. Identify and locate all obstructions adjacent to all runways, taxiways, and parking aprons. When
possible include photographs. (For example, runway distance markers 4 feet high every 1,000 feet
along RWY 04/22, 80 feet from centerline). If obstacle data is listed in current FLIPs, confirm its
accuracy. Measure distance to the obstruction from runway/taxiway centerline. If no taxi
centerline is on apron measure obstruction from edge of apron surface and so indicate.

3
 NOTE: Use “feet” and “gallons” as the preferred method of measurement. If data collected is other
than “feet” or “gallons”, convert data and place side by side in appropriate block

f. Identify and include all obstructions in the approach and departure zones that violate the standards
listed in AFI 32-1026. Identify all obstructions and associated heights and locate them from a
known reference point adjacent or near to the obstruction.

g. Record distances between adjacent runways, taxiways, and parking areas. For example, 1,000 feet
between RWY 20 and parallel taxiway. Measure distance from marked edge lines or stressed
surface.

h. Record condition of area surfaces in regard to possible repair, FOD, and engine blast damage.
(Include photographs if possible.)

i. List and locate AGE equipment, buildings, barriers, etc., which are subject to possible blast
damage.

j. Designate tie-down rings that qualify as aircraft grounding points.

k. Include any gross weight or other limitation imposed by airfield officials/manager.

l. Review all airfield waivers. Obtain copies of any waivers not contained in FLIPs or NOTAMs.
(Include in Survey.)

3. Base Support:

a. When showing cost indicate type of acceptable payment (i.e. US $, or local currency).

b. Also indicate acceptable method of payment (i.e. Credit card, MIPR, cash, or Form 15).

c. Determine AGE and MHE available, cost compatibility, and condition. Determine base and
procurement resources.

d. Determine availability, cost, method of payment, capacity, and condition of warehouse and open
storage facilities.

e. Determine availability, cost, and location of workspace for functional areas.

f. Determine availability, cost, type, capability, and location of telephones, communications,

computer equipment, and support.

4. Navigational Aids:

a. Indicate if replacements or additions to existing facilities are expected.

b. Determine if published SIDs can be used in lieu of radar vectors. Attach a copy of current SIDs to
survey.

5. Summaries:

a. In the summary area of each section, provide a brief synopsis of data collected.

b. Also include programmed improvements, closures, or changes (i.e. 2 or 5 year plan)

4
c. When team members can not perform a quality survey due to restrictions imposed by local
authorities, especially foreign governments, or lack of subject matter experts, the team members
should attempt to gather as much information as possible. The team chief will indicate these
limitations in each section summary. Also include these limitations in the final summary.

d. The final summary should include an overall assessment to include showstoppers and/or known
deficiencies. (Keep in mind this is an assessment based on the information you have
gathered, not a suitability evaluation.)

e. Summary of runway data:

The airfield pavement allowable gross loads were calculated from information gleaned
from the host engineer, construction drawings as well as a 16 Dynamic Cone
Penetrometer (DCP) tests performed at various locations along the airfield pavements.
Kyudamir Airbase is a military airfield for the Azerbaijanis’. The host has indicated
we could use only the runway, the Western taxiway, and Apron 1,2 and 3 as indicated
on the attached drawings.

Runway 08/26 is actually two 6” layers of concrete separated by a 2” sand bond

breaker course. The top 6” layer is reinforced, and the bottom 6” layer is un-
reinforced. For the Airfield Pavement Evaluation (APE) program we used 6” of
reinforced concrete in good condition with 1% steel, at 750 PSI over 6” of non-
reinforced concrete with a flexural strength of 600 PSI. The concrete is placed on an
8” thick low quality gravelly sand base course @ 250K. The in situ sub grade material
is silty clay, and we assigned a value of 170K for APE calculations.

The resulting PCN using the C-17 at 580,000 pounds is 49 R/B/W/T. This yields over
51, 000 passes of a fully loaded C-17, and unlimited passes for C-130’s. Important to
note is the Eastern 1,500’ feet (approximately) of the runway is unusable (See attached
drawing).

Runway length originally reported at 8200ft, however last 1640ft runway 08 is

unusable due to poor pavement.

*Imposed by host airport manager or official.

**Excellent, good, fair, or poor. Give details in summary.

b. Description, location, and height of any obstructions along taxiways. When possible include
photographs and lighting data.

Light structure 20ft tall, 150ft down runway, 110ft pavement edge, 100ft from taxiway 1
pavement edge. Gate structures (2ft 9in tall) located 26ft from taxiway 1 centerline. Metal
structure (5ft tall) located 46ft from taxiway 1 centerline. Gate structure (3ft tall) located
30ft from centerline taxiway 4.

c. Summary of taxiway data:

Taxiway 1, is constructed the same as the runway, and also yields a PCN of 49 R/B/W/T.
Other taxiways were not evaluated by the pavements technician because of the Host’s
desire to limit USAF operations to the Runway, West taxiway, and Aprons 1,2, and 3.
Taxiway 2, 3 unusable due to pavement failure. Taxiway 4 is constructed same as taxiway
1, however unusable due to location of a patrol fence located in the parallel taxiway. Due to
host nation restrictions, unable to survey Taxiway 5. Taxiway 5 is also located at the end
runway 08 where the last 1640ft is unusable.

f. Are parking spots marked (C-5, C-141, C-17, KC-10, Commercial B-747, etc.)?

Yes: No: x

g. How much of the ramp parking space is available for AMC aircraft parking? (Indicate location on
attached airfield diagram.)

There are several aircraft aprons at Kyurdamir Airbase, though the Host has indicated
USAF cargo aircraft operations will be restricted to Apron 1, 2 and 3 (See diagram).

10
h. Is LCN waiver required?

Yes: No: x

If so, under what conditions will local officials grant waivers?

i. Does the slope of the parking ramp aggravate the breakaway and taxi power requirements?

Yes: No: x

If yes, designate the parking area or spot and explain in detail.

j. Are there any other factors that may affect aircraft operations on the ground movement area?

See obstruction data for taxiways.

k. Is space adequate for emergency vehicles to maneuver around aircraft?

Yes

l. Summary of aircraft parking data:

There are several aircraft aprons at Kyurdamir Airbase, though the Host has indicated
USAF cargo aircraft operations will be restricted to Apron 1, 2 and 3 (See diagram).

All three of these aprons are constructed the same as the runway. For PCN calculations we
used 6” of reinforce concrete, 1% steel and 750 PSI flexural strength over 6” concrete with
a flexural strength of 600 PSI placed atop 8” of the same low quality gravelly sand base
course found under the runway @ 250 K, over the in situ silty clay subgrade @ 170K.

The resulting PCN for these aprons is 53 R/B/W/T , or more than 100,000 passes of a fully
loaded C-17. Passes for the C-130 are unlimited. The change in the PCN from the runway
and the taxiway is from the change in traffic, from A to B traffic.

a. Summary of Air Traffic:

Airfield systems: The meteorological, navigational and telecommunication facilities are

extremely limited. There is no Instrument Landing System capability. There is no VOR or
DME capability. There is a system that is similar to a US-standard PAR with an indicator
in the tower, but controllers do not speak English. The existing airfield TACAN is not
compatible with US airborne systems. There is a system that is similar to an ASR with and
indicator in the tower, range of approx 150 nm at altitude of 10,000meters, no IFF. There
are NO regularly scheduled certification or validation flight checks. Real-time wind speed
and direction are displayed in the ATC tower cab and weather station; however, the two
systems are independent and not linked. The ATC tower is on a back-up manual transfer
generator.

VHF is used, the only channel observed in operation was 125.25 MHz. There is no UHF
capability. There are radios capable of UHF, but are not currently in use. Tower monitors
121.5 VHF Guard. There is a back-up radio suite in a truck near the ATC tower.

Maintenance on equipment is by military engineers on standby. ATC is manned 24 hours,

but controllers do not speak English, see ‘Remarks’ section in Operations chapter for more
information.

Military Communications System: Military communications systems are very limited and
are not compatible with US systems.

Not Applicable. Only cell phone assets exists.

d. Summary of Communication information:

There is no existing satellite communication equipment or capabilities at Kyurdamir.

There are no data communications circuits at Kyurdamir nor is there an infrastructure to

support leased data circuits. Telephones use U.S.-standard RJ-11modular phone
jacks/plugs in newer facilities only, however none were observed at the Airfield. Other
plugs are two-wire and will require manual splice. Power is 220V, 50Hz and uses German
two-prong ‘Schuko’, but some hotels may use British-standard 3 prong, rectangular blade
power plugs. Deploying units should bring Uninterruptible Power Supply units for line
conditioning. Very limited phone jacks and power outlets were observed at the Airfield.
The quality of power is questionable.

Key Communications Planning:

There is very limited existing communication and navigational facilities. What limited
facilities do exist is incompatible with US military standards and there is no room for
expansion. Any systems needed must be brought in, to include BOS, generators and all
end-users items. Surrounding terrain is extremely flat- all look angles are clear, to include
ELANT and IO. A major limiting factor in siting any satellite dish would be the high
winds constantly present.

Telephone switch: The airfield telephone switch is a manual, old-style patch panel for
manually routing incoming calls. It is located in a dial-central office, with 2-wire copper
standard. The number of incoming lines is unknown.

c. Summary of Billeting and Messing facilities:

Average annual occupancy rates in Baku hover between 35-55%. There is an annual Oil
and Gas exhibition in early June that significantly monopolizes all lodging facilities in the
area. OSI performed security assessments of all proposed hotels. Security assessment
reports can be located at Region 5 RTIC homepage. Hotels are listed in order of
preference considering security, facilities, transportation, cost, and ability to maintain
contingent integrity. If multiple facilities are required, recommend support personnel
utilize the Crescent Beach Hotel and aircrew personnel utilize the central Baku hotels.
This reduces aircrew travel time to any potential operating location. Most, if not all single-
occupancy rooms can be fitted with an additional roll-away bed or cot to allow for
additional capacity. All hotels listed can provide any type of food service support required
with appropriate coordination. Hotels can set up separate banquet facilities and meal times
with proper coordination and advance notice. Daily feeding capacities at local hotels are
not provided because of their collective ability to expand capabilities to satisfy any of our
potential operations. Abela-Azal S.A., located at Bina International Airport, manages all
airport food services. Abela-Azal can provide ground feeding support for any potential US
operation. Abela-Azal has a large flight meal preparation facility located on the airfield
that provides flight meals to all major airlines and has the capability to produce and deliver
ground support meals anywhere in the region. Abela-Azal is subject to strict review by
multiple airline companies and governmental agencies. All facilities referenced were
inspected and maintain the highest sanitation standards, employ modern production
methods, have adequate supply capabilities, and demonstrated the capability to rapidly
increase food production with limited notice. Public Health should perform initial
inspections of all facilities prior to contracting services, and perform recurring inspections
as required.

 Febrile illness typically requiring 1-7 days of supportive care with subsequent
return to duty. Falciparum cases may require intensive care or prolonged
convalescence
Transmission Comments:
Relapses or delayed clinical symptoms are common with P. vivax and P. ovale, due to
dormant parasite stages (hypnozoites) retained in the liver; delayed P. malariae symptoms
may occur due to persistent low-level parasitemia.
Agent / Subtype: P. vivax
Typical Incubation Period: 7 to 14 days (maximum range: 7 to 30 days)
Risk Period: Seasonal (Apr to Oct); transmission primarily occurs during the warmer
months, peaking June through September.
Risk Distribution: Variable - primarily rural areas; risk appears greatest in southern
areas bordering Iran, coastal areas of the Caspian Sea (particularly in the northeast area),
and marsh areas southwest of Baku. Limited risk also may extend northward to the
western areas bordering Georgia and the Kachamas region in the northeast.
