Title:
The R-2508 Airspace and Mid-Air Collision (MACA) Review with Edwards AFB/Plant 42 Flight Safety
Topic:
SAFELY Navigate The Edwards Airspace And Share The Skies With Military Aircraft
Speaker(s):
Edwards: Maj Amanda Bliley, Lt Col Frederick Cartwright, Dave Sampson. Plant 42: Matt Fisher, Steve Irving
Brief Description:
The 412th Test Wing Flight Safety Team will review current missions at Edwards AFB and reveal proper methods to navigate the vast Military Operations Areas (MOAs), Restricted Areas & Military Training Routes (MTRs) with an emphasis on midair collision avoidance with fast movers. There will be vital safety information, as well as fun info and videos about current Edwards flight test programs. The team will also address the details of how to safely traverse around and through the airspace complex (for instance, flying to Las Vegas or Death Valley) and provide General Aviation pilot insights. Understanding of requirements, restrictions, and communications protocols to use the airspace, and proper preflight planning, will significantly reduce your collision (and pilot deviation) risks. The team welcomes any questions or scenarios! An airfield management rep from Plant 42 will also be on hand to talk about the current instrument approach restrictions and how to get PPRs.
