Moody AFB Airport (KVAD), Georgia

Prior permission is issued up to five days before arrival, with a minimum 24-hour notice required. The permission is valid for plus or minus one hour of the approved time. Coordination outside the approved time block must be made by phone, or the prior permission number will be considered cancelled.

Transient aircraft, except flight check, lifeguard, or emergency arrivals, are not authorized to conduct practice approaches during daylight hours, Monday through Friday, due to high volume of local air traffic. Transient IFR aircraft arriving or departing can expect delays when restricted area R3008 is active; contact 23rd Wing scheduling for deconfliction. Prior permission is required for all transient aircraft.

Transient aircraft are limited to one local flight. For prior permission, contact base operations; during non-operating hours, contact the standby line. Transient VIP aircraft should contact the command post 30 minutes prior to estimated time of arrival.

The assault zone is restricted to 347th Rescue Wing C-130 aircraft only. C-5 and C-17 aircraft are restricted to low approach or full-stop landing only. Transient parking is limited.

For clearance delivery, contact base operations. When approach control is closed, contact Jacksonville Center.

The forward deck landing position is restricted to 23rd Wing aircraft only, unless prior permission is coordinated through the operations support squadron.

All runway threshold lighting and the midpoint 70-foot marker have been removed. Airfield lighting is intermittent one hour after official sunset until airfield closure, due to night vision device training on the field. On runway 01R/19L, the PAPI and ILS glideslope are not coincidental.

Transient departures with rapid climb should use extreme caution and maintain at or below 1300 feet MSL until the departure end. The overhead traffic pattern at 1800 feet is in continuous use. Simultaneous operations to runway 19 or 01 are in use when restricted area R3008 is active. A 130-foot AGL unlighted antenna is located 3.5 nautical miles due south of runway 01R.

Runway 01R/19L has non-standard runway markings, with an assault strip shown.

Air Force, Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve Command fighter aircraft can expect reduced runway separation: 3000 feet for similar-type aircraft during the day, and 6000 feet for dissimilar-type aircraft or at night. Transient aircraft must notify the tower on initial contact if reduced runway separation is not desired.

On runway 01L/19R, the first 1000 feet is concrete. The middle 6000 feet has a 75-foot-wide concrete center section, with outer sides consisting of 37.5-foot-wide asphalt surfaces.
