SECTION 32 - AIRFIELD AND AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS

32.A General.

32.A.01 The following safety requirements must be in addition to the airfield's safety requirements. When an airfield has safety requirements that differ from those of this Section, the more stringent requirements must prevail.

Ongoing construction is underway at Bagram Airfield.

32.A.02 Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) and a Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD).

Prior to the performance of any work upon or around an airfield, a CSPP and a SPCD will be prepared by a Competent Person (CP). The CSPP will follow the guidelines found in the most current edition of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular AC No: 150/5370-2F, Operational Safety on Airports During Construction.

  1. The CSPP and SPCD must be reviewed and accepted by the GDA. The GDA will ensure the airfield's appropriate FAA Regional or District Office is notified of the construction and will provide the FAA a copy of the CSPP and SPCD.
  2. The Airfield Manager must review and accept the CSPP and SPCD no later than 14 days prior to beginning work.
  3. Ensure prompt submittal of a Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration (FAA Form 7460-1) for conducting an aeronautical study of potential obstructions such as tall equipment (cranes, concrete pumps, etc.), stock piles, and haul routes. One form may be filed describing the entire construction area and maximum equipment height or a separate form can be filed for each potential obstruction. In the former case, a separate form must be filed for any object beyond or higher than the originally evaluated area/height.
  1. The GDA and Airfield Manager must be informed in writing of proposed revisions to the approved CSPP and SPCD.
  2. The GDA must keep the airport operator informed so that a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) can be issued to reflect hazardous conditions or changes to the CSPP.
