Chapter 9 - Restricted Area 3109 and 3110

Question 1

GENERAL

Answer 1

Restricted Areas 3109 and 3110 is designate airspace for activities which must be confined, or where limitations may be imposed on aircraft operations that are not part of those activities.

Question 2

HOURS OF OPERATION

Answer 2

Operational activation of the restricted areas is intermittent. Range Control develops and disseminates
a monthly schedule

Question 4

COMMUNICATION

Answer 4

All aircraft must contact and monitor Range Control (RC) on FM 38.30 prior to entering Restricted Areas R-3109 / R-3110

Question 5

Range Control Radio Frequencies

Answer 5

Range Control
Primary - 38.30
Alternate - 40.70

Question 6

MAKUA RANGE

Answer 6

Makua Range is located within the R-3110 complex. The procedures for Makua are the following:

 Contact Makua Range Control during their operating hours (0530 – 1400 HST, M-F). When Makua Range Control is not operating, aircrews may contact Lightning Radio or Schofield Range Control.

 Monitor Lightning Radio for traffic entering from the Wings Training Area.

 No more than three individual aircraft or one flight of aircraft will operate within Makua.

 Contact Makua Range Control when departing.

Question 7

MAKUA RANGE

Note

Answer 7

Schofield Range Control’s radio does not have line of sight to Makua. Aircrews should contact Schofield Range Control prior to departing WAAF

Question 8

WINGS TRAINING AREA

Answer 8

Wings Training Area (WTA) is contained within the R-3109C and R 3110C boundaries (UAS Sectors Gold North, White North, and Orange North); 3,000 feet MSL and below for manned aircraft. The area is designed primarily for manned/unmanned teaming operations and multi-ship terrain flight training with only
covert lighting (visible/overt lighting off).

Question 9

WINGS TRAINING AREA

Notes

Answer 9

Due to the use of CAB and BCT Shadows operating at 3,300 MSL and above, regardless of participating traffic for MUM-T operations or not, all manned aircraft must remain 3,000 MSL
and below.

Because the WTA is in a restricted area, military aircraft may switch lighting to covert only (blackout) without an observation aircraft with overt settings (full FAA lighting).

Question 10

Wings Training Area Frequencies

Answer 10

Lightning Radio
VHF - 141.65 (Alternate)
UHF - 239.5 (Primary)

WTA Air to Air Frequency 36.20

Question 11

Wings Training Area Procedures

SCHEDULING

Answer 11

For deliberate operations, such as training zone reconnaissance or attacks into Makua, units will submit
a NOTAM to base operations two business days prior to execution. Provide the following:

 Unit(s)
 Date/time/group for mission start
 Date/time/group for end of mission
 Point of contact (air mission commander’s call sign and phone number)

NOTAMS are not required for covert lighting (blackout) operations

Question 12

Wings Training Area

CHECK-IN PROCEDURES

Answer 12

Aircrews will conduct the following:

 Contact Lightning Radio with:
 Call sign
 Number & type of aircraft
 Entry sector (aircrews may use Gold, White, or Orange North)
 Request “Blackout” or “MUM-T” operations
9-9.

Aircrews can expect 15-minute check in call with Lightning Radio. Aircrews may use the UAS sectors for position reporting (i.e., Gold North, White North, and Orange North).

Question 13

Wings Training Area

FLIGHT PROCEDURES

Answer 13

There are no established terrain flight routes in the WTA. The WTA is “free flight”.

Aircrews will plot the avoid areas (referenced in figure 9-1 as NO-FLY areas) on a map

 Monastery (04Q EJ 859 849)
 Mt. Ka’ala Radar Station (04Q EJ 88833 78574) (1 KM radius)
 Campground (04Q EJ 833 827) (fly neighborly)
 Ka’ena Point Satellite Tracking Station (04Q EJ 7871 8452) (1 KM radius)
 50 ft wire hazard

Question 14

TRAFFIC DENSITY

MUM-T OPERATIONS

Answer 14

Aircrews performing MUM-T must provide a NOTAM request at least two business days to WAAF Base Operations.

The recommended size formation within the WTA is platoon (4-5 manned aircraft) or smaller.

Question 15

TRAFFIC DENSITY

OPERATIONS OTHER THAN MUM-T

Answer 15

No more than one team/section (2-3 manned aircraft) will operate in each sector.

Aircrews will report sector changes to Lightning Radio.
