PERSONNEL CONSTRAINTSa. Personnel organization and duties performed depend on the size and structure of the airfieldand the size of the unit or units that the airfield supports. In some cases, the airfield will not haveall the positions outlined in the preceding paragraphs. In those cases in which personnel andpositions are not available, some functions will be consolidated.(1) A typical consolidation occurs when the airfield does not have positions for both anairfield commander and an operations officer. In this case, the incumbent who meets thequalifications of both positions will accomplish both functions. Likewise, a consolidation of functionsoccurs when an AT&A officer is not designated. In this case, there may be a regional AT&A officer orpossibly an ATC officer who is also an aviator who may be able to fulfill two functions.(2) Another typical consolidation is to combine the aviation safety NCO function with theairfield operations NCO function. However, this type of consolidation is recommended only for smallairfields.b. The airfield services branch will be a separate branch only on large airfields. Emergencyservices are contracted at small– and medium–size airfields, and the airfield NCOIC assumesresponsibility for the transient and very important person (VIP) services capability. The POLservices branch accomplishes some airfield maintenance functions when they are within the scope ofgeneral maintenance and upkeep. Other duties described in Chapter 3 are divided among thepersonnel who are most qualified to perform them.c. Consolidation of functions can be accomplished only when the size of the airfield and trafficdensity are compatible with a smaller staff. Overconsolidation can become a hazard to the safeoperation of the airfield and can cause a loss of services.1–7
FM 1–300Chapter 2Flight Dispatch BranchEach branch in the airfield organization has specific responsibilities assigned to it as part of theairfield operations. This chapter discusses the functions and responsibilities of the flight dispatchbranch.2–1. PERSONNEL AND RESPONSIBILITIESPersonnel in the flight dispatch branch include—but are not limited to—a branch chief and aviationoperations specialists. The number of aviation operations specialists assigned depends primarily onthe services provided, the hours of operation, and the table(s) of organization of equipment (TOE)and table(s) of distribution (TDA) of the unit. The flight dispatch branch provides flight planningand filing services to transient and assigned aircrews. Branch organization is influenced to someextent by the physical arrangement of the facilities.a. Branch Chief. The flight dispatch branch chief—(1) Coordinates branch activities under the supervision of the operations officer.(2) Supervises and trains aviation operations specialists in their assigned duties.(3) Provides flight planning service to include current publications, maps and charts, anotice to airmen (NOTAM) display, and weight and balance forms on each assigned Class II aircraft.(4) Prepares work schedules for aviation operations specialists and ensures adequatecoverage during peak periods.(5) Ensures that the branch SOP provides for immediate notification of the operations officerif an impending or actual emergency or an operations security (OPSEC) violation occurs.(6) Processes reports about unidentified flying objects such as kites, balloons, modelairplanes, and drones.(7) Ensures that airfield advisory procedures are established according to FAA Handbook7110.10.(8) Ensures that ground personnel operating near or on taxiways or runways are briefedthoroughly on two–way radio communication procedures and are familiar with the ATC light signalsin the Airman's Information Manual and FAA Handbook 7110.65.(9) Establishes and maintains a flight information publication (FLIP) account for theairfield according to AR 95–2. (Appendix D contains information on the establishment andmaintenance of a Department of Defense (DOD) FLIP account.)2–1
FM 1–300b. Aviation Operations Specialist. The aviation operations specialist—(1) Receives, reviews, and processes flight plans.(2) Transmits or records flight data.(3) Advises the local control tower on proposed departures and arrivals.(4) Notifies the operations officer when an arriving flight is overdue as required by the localSOP and the overdue aircraft procedures in Appendix C.(5) Notifies airfield services of the estimated times of arrival and departure to ensure thetimely servicing of aircraft.(6) Notifies the operations officer of arriving and departing VIPs so that proper honors canbe extended.(7) Disseminates severe weather warnings to appropriate individuals or agencies accordingto the local SOP and the emergency plans in Appendix C.(8) Informs the operations officer of any OPSEC violations.(9) Provides advisory service according to FAA Handbook 7110.65 when the ATC towerfacility is not operational or when an ATC tower facility is not available.2–2. AIRFIELD FLIGHT OPERATIONSThe airfield flight operations must be located near main aircraft parking areas and runways.Locating flight operations facilities other than near the airfield requires major Army command(MACOM) approval. The local airfield commander is responsible for obtaining approval for locatingfacilities away from the flight line. All flight operations services normally are located in the samebuilding. They include a flight dispatch section, a weather section, a flight planning area, and apilots' lounge.a. Flight Dispatch Section. The flight dispatch section is responsible for processing flightplans and other air traffic related data through national and international air traffic systems.(1) Recommended equipment. The recommended equipment for the flight dispatchsection is briefly described below. It includes—(a) A frequency modulated (FM), an ultra high frequency (UHF), or a very highfrequency (VHF) radio for pilot–to–dispatcher communications.(b) Emergency lighting equipment that does not rely on a commercial power source.(c) Radios to communicate with personnel operating on the airfield; for example, disasterresponse agencies, civil engineers, and control tower.2–2
FM 1–300(d) Telecommunications equipment to process flight data and other air trafficinformation. (In the United States, the FAA provides the telecommunications equipment.)(e) A console with suitable direct voice–line communications to the control tower, radarapproach control, FAA agencies, local rescue agencies, airfield flying units, and additionaladministrative circuits as required. The console also will include an extension from the primarycrash alarm system and a secondary crash alarm system with a circuit activation capability or asuitable Class A telephone.(2) Facilities. The flight dispatch section must have access to adequate facilities orcapability to store, issue, and receive classified materials.(3) Briefing area. The flight dispatch section must maintain a briefing area for aircrews.This requirement may be met if there is adequate space in the flight planning room to accommodateaircrews and briefing materials.(4) Operating instructions.(a) A current set of operating instructions and ready reference files must be madeavailable as required by the airfield commander. These publications must have sufficiently detailedinstructions so that the aviation operations specialists can complete actions without referring toother directives.(b) Flight operations personnel must maintain–as applicable–local checklists, logs, orsimilar documentation to suppor
Figure 1-2. Airfield operations division b. ATC Division. (1) The organization of the ATC division—shown in Figure 1-3—depends on the number and type of navigational aids and services provided by the airfield. At a minimum, the division includes an ATC section and an ATC maintenance section. Figure 1-3. ATC division AIRFIELD .
