Coordination within a single facility.

Designated area at Vance AFB with restricted access.

Two-way radio contact needed before entering CMA.

Monitoring of active runways, overruns, and taxiways within 100ft of edges, to ensure safety.

Emphasize distinct parts of similar sounding aircraft IDs (digits, letters) to avoid confusion.

Repeat the call sign after the flight number to differentiate similar sounds.

Inform affected pilots while communicating with aircraft with similar sounding IDs.

Notify the operations supervisor about duplicate or similar sounding call signs for simultaneous aircrafts.

Controllers may restate numbers in a different format (grouping or single digits) for clarity if needed.

The part of an airport used for aircraft take-off, landing, and taxiing, including maneuvering and apron areas.
