- Down the stairwell to the ground level. IN CASE OF FIRE, DO NOT USE THE ELEVATOR.
- ensure all aircraft in the Class D are advised that the ATCT is being evacuated and either land at NTU, depart VFR, or divert to an alternate field.
- FD operator will record the ATIS stating, “NAS Oceana Control Tower has been evacuated and is being operated from a remote location.” If time does not allow for recording secure the ATIS.
- The FD operator will be the first to leave the Tower with the “Go-Bag” after adding the
following items: Light Gun, two hand-held radios located by the TS console and the Tower
URC-200. - The following DRFO entry shall be made by the TS prior to leaving the ATCT: (time) ATCT evacuated due to (reason for evacuation).
- The TS, LC, and GC shall immediately check out either 0 or 00 from the AFS to serve as the Mobile control Tower (MCT), station the MCT on the airfield at the discretion of the TS, and establish communications with the URC-200/PET-2000 radios on 360.2 and 127.075.

- Ordinance stores or hazardous cargo
- Landing runway and ETA
- Any additional pertinent information
HYDRAZINE LEAK PROCEDURES
- Notify other aircraft on all available frequencies to remain clear and/or upwind of the subject aircraft.
- Ensure the known location of the aircraft/vapor for future clean up. Cleanup is the
responsibility of General Dynamics F-16 contractor and crash crew personnel. Generally, sand and large amounts of water will be used. - After landing, the aircraft shall be taxied to an isolated area on the airfield (as directed by the
Crash Captain). - pilot to point aircraft into the wind.
- After securing the aircraft, it will be towed to one of
the following decontamination areas: compass rose, approach end of runway 14, or perimeter
taxiway north side of runway 32. - If required to support clean up, runway will be closed.
- General Dynamics will normally be accompanied on the field by the standby fire truck from the
base of the Tower. - Adjust pattern not to interfere with hydrazine aircraft (i.e. land or depart from another runway).
Hydrazine
used in the emergency power unit of the F16. It has the odor of ammonia and produces a
white vapor. Actual/suspected hydrazine leaks are to be considered an emergency. If the pilot declares
an emergency due to a hydrazine leak or states “I have an EPU emergency”
NAOC or SCOOT is
indicated in the remarks of the flight plan
pattern aircraft will be recovered and taxied to their line, or handed off to approach for
vectors for holding.
After NAOC aircraft arrival, no ground movement of personnel, vehicles or
aircraft (not involved) will be permitted (other than on ramp areas) without express permission
from the NAOC aircraft commander.
