GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. Airfield Management (AM) Facilities and Services.

1.1.1. USAF installations with flying operations must establish AM facilities and services to provide a safe, efficient and effective airfield environment for aircraft operations.

1.1.2. Units that operate AM facilities and manage airfields (U.S., overseas, joint-use and share-use), must comply with this instruction.

1.1.3. AM operations at shared-use airfields. When necessary, develop local procedures such as a Let-ter of Agreement (LOA) or Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the civil airport manager and Air Traffic Control (ATC) agencies to support AM responsibilities outlined in this AFI.

1.1.4. Operations at Contingency Locations. At contingency locations, the Senior Airfield Authority (SAA) or equivalent may authorize deviations to AM procedures outlined in this AFI to support tacti-cal or combat operations/situations. Authority must not be delegated.

1.1.4.1. In the interest of safety to airfield and flight operations, deviations to this AFI should be by exception only and include an Operational Risk Management (ORM) assessment. Factors to consider for deviations include but are not limited to the length of time the operation has been in place and available resources.

1.1.4.2. If time permits, or at the discretion of the SAA or equivalent, forward proposed devia-tions to the Warfighting Headquarters (WFHQ), Air Operations Center (AOC) staff or equivalent for an operational review.

1.1.4.3. Provide the AOC staff or equivalent an information copy of approved deviations to assist with establishing compliance priorities, providing oversight and developing AOR execution activ-ities.

1.1.5. AM services may be provided by contract or LOA, if they satisfy the requirements of this instruction and requests are processed according to AFI 13-204, Functional Management of Airfield Operations. Note: AM contract operations must comply with this instruction except where identified not applicable or exempted in a MAJCOM (refers to the MAJCOM office of Primary Responsibility for Airfield Management in this AFI) or HQ AFFSA approved Performance Work Statement (PWS) or Statement of Work (SOW).

1.1.6. AM positions must not be converted without MAJCOM/A3 coordination and HQ USAF/ A3O-A approval. All requests to convert AM positions must address the overall impact to the wing and/or MAJCOM ability to support an Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) tasking and provide an offset for any loss in AEF Unit Type Codes (UTC). See AFI 13-204 for additional information.

1.1.7. Duties outside the scope of the Capabilities Based Manpower Standard (CMS) and this AFI must not be assigned to AM personnel (military, DoD civilian) without a MAJCOM review for oper-ational impact on core tasks.

1.1.7.1. Final disposition of proposed duties will be determined by the MAJCOM/A3.

1.1.7.2. Passenger processing is not an AFSC 1C7X1 core task and must not be performed by AM personnel (military, DoD civilian) without MAJCOM/A3 approval.

AFI13-213 29 JANUARY 2008 5

1.1.8. At locations where USAF Airfield Management exists and ATC services are not performed by USAF personnel, the senior enlisted 1C7X1 or DoD civilian equivalent will fulfill as applicable, the responsibilities of the Airfield Operations Flight Commander (AOF/CC) outlined in AFI 13-204.

1.2. Waivers, Recommended Changes and Issuing New USAF AM Policy or Procedures.

1.2.1. Waivers. Use AF IMT 4058, Airfield Operations Policy Waiver to request waivers to this instruction. If additional space is required for specific blocks, annotate them on plain bond paper and include them with the form. Precede each continued comment with the number of the block it extends.

1.2.1.1. Completion of Blocks 1 - 6 are mandatory for unit level submissions. Wing Commander (WG/CC) or Operations Group Commander (OG/CC) comments in Block 6 are optional. How-ever, the remainder of Block 6 is required.

1.2.1.2. Additional data such as draft revisions to the Airfield Operations Instruction (AOI), draft LOA, maps of terminal airspace/traffic patterns, airfields, etc., should be attached, when applica-ble, to further clarify intended procedures that supports the waiver request.

1.2.1.3. The AOF/CC forwards waiver requests through the OG/CC to the MAJCOM. MAJ- COMs will coordinate on the waiver, sign (black or blue ink) the AF IMT 4058 and forward (scanned, emailed or faxed) with recommended action to HQ AFFSA/A3A. Note: Electronic sig-natures are acceptable, e.g. //SIGNED// will suffice.

1.2.1.4. HQ AFFSA/A3A is the approval authority for waivers to this AFI, except those delegated to MAJCOM and below. HQ AFFSA/A3A may also grant exceptions to policy to long–standing issues that can not be corrected.

1.2.1.4.1. To ensure a periodic revalidation of waiver requirements, HQ AFFSA/A3A grants waivers to this AFI for a period not to exceed 2 years.

1.2.1.4.2. Waiver renewal requests must reach HQ AFFSA/A3A No Later Than (NLT) 30 days prior to expiration.

1.2.1.5. MAJCOMs may approve temporary waivers for procedural or operational issues that their units can resolve within 6 months. Note: MAJCOMs must send an informational copy of temporary waivers to HQ AFFSA/A3A after approval is granted.

1.2.2. Recommended Changes. Submit recommended changes to this AFI through the MAJCOM to HQ AFFSA/A3A using the AF IMT 847, Recommendation for Change of Publication.

1.2.3. Issuing new USAF AM Policy or Procedures. In accordance with AFI 33-360, Publications Management Program, new policy or procedures may be implemented via memorandum or Defense Message System (DMS) pending revision of the governing directive.

1.2.3.1. New USAF AM policy or procedures will be distributed through appropriate MAJCOM channels. The memorandums or messages will also be posted on the HQ AFFSA website https:// wwwmil.tinker.af.mil/AFFSA until formalized in the governing publication.

1.2.3.2. Mail List (ML) 9354 and/or Address Indicator Group (AIG) 9354 is the message address group used by HQ AFFSA/A3A to ensure widest dissemination of USAF Airfield Operations (AM/ATC) related policy and guidance for expeditious implementation and/or information. Direct recipients of ML/AIG 9354 are the MAJCOM Airfield Operations Division, Operations Support Squadron Commanders (OSS/CC) and AOF/CCs.
