- Scheduled sole-use airspace requests must be made through I Corps G3 Air.
- Units requiring scheduled sole-use airspace for a specific training event must request it through I Corps G3 Air no later than 7 business days prior to the event.
Aircraft Communication and Operation
- Aircraft operating within JBLM Military Reservation/TTFTA will use assigned FM frequencies for air-to-air communications in training areas X-Ray (38.225), Yankee (46.975), and Zulu (46.700).
- Pilots will use the X-Ray air-to-air frequency (38.225) when operating in the Airspace Information Center (AIC) Service Area outside of ATAs and Green Route.
Airspace Operations
- Procedural separation and deconfliction of aircraft are enhanced by scheduling specific ATAs or areas within ATAs for unit-level operations during specific time periods and establishing a maximum aircraft density in open-use (non-scheduled) ATAs.
- Entry and exit to/from an ATA will be via the Aerial Check Point (ACP) nearest to the portion of the ATA the pilot desires to enter.
- All ACPs are bi-directional except as stated in paragraph 5-2.
Aviation Training Areas (ATAs)
- No flight training (manned or unmanned) will be conducted within 300 meters of Blue, Green, and Black Routes.
- Altitude deviations and overall course changes will be kept to a minimum while transiting the AIC Service Area outside of ATAs.
- The primary method to move from an ATA to another ATA is by using the route structure, where applicable.
- Movement from within an ATA to an adjacent ATA without flying the route structure is only authorized when specific conditions are met.
Route Structure and Altitude
- Pacemaker traffic pattern altitude is 700 MSL, east traffic only.
- When departing Zulu ATA for entry into Gray Class D, remain within the lateral/vertical boundaries of the ATA until receiving approval from Gray Tower.
- Aircraft will depart Yankee ATAs and intercept the Green Route at 1000’ MSL. Once established on the route, adjust altitude as required.

- Zulu ATA - 2 aircraft/flights, with a maximum of 2 aircraft.
Runway and Helipad Traffic Pattern
- The number of aircraft operating in the traffic patterns will be controlled by Gray Tower.
- When the tower is closed, the maximum number of aircraft must not exceed five.
- No aircraft will pass another while in the traffic pattern or on the route structure.
Aircraft Communication and Operation
- Aircraft operating within JBLM Military Reservation/TTFTA will use assigned FM frequencies for air-to-air communications in training areas X-Ray (38.225), Yankee (46.975), and Zulu (46.700).
- Pilots will use the X-Ray air-to-air frequency (38.225) when operating in the Airspace Information Center (AIC) Service Area outside of ATAs and Green Route.
Airspace Operations
- Procedural separation and deconfliction of aircraft are enhanced by scheduling specific ATAs or areas within ATAs for unit-level operations during specific time periods and establishing a maximum aircraft density in open-use (non-scheduled) ATAs.
- Entry and exit to/from an ATA will be via the Aerial Check Point (ACP) nearest to the portion of the ATA the pilot desires to enter.
- All ACPs are bi-directional except as stated in paragraph 5-2.
Aviation Training Areas (ATAs)
- No flight training (manned or unmanned) will be conducted within 300 meters of Blue, Green, and Black Routes.
- Altitude deviations and overall course changes will be kept to a minimum while transiting the AIC Service Area outside of ATAs.
- The primary method to move from an ATA to another ATA is by using the route structure, where applicable.
- Movement from within an ATA to an adjacent ATA without flying the route structure is only authorized when specific conditions are met.
Route Structure and Altitude
- Pacemaker traffic pattern altitude is 700 MSL, east traffic only.
- When departing Zulu ATA for entry into Gray Class D, remain within the lateral/vertical boundaries of the ATA until receiving approval from Gray Tower.
- Aircraft will depart Yankee ATAs and intercept the Green Route at 1000’ MSL. Once established on the route, adjust altitude as required.
Communication Requirements
- Aircraft will not operate within the AIC Service Area without an operational FM radio and additionally either an operational VHF or UHF radio.
- Flight following with Bullseye Radio in the TTFTA/AIC Service Area is mandatory for all aircraft operated by units within the scope of JBLM 95-1.
Aviation Training Area (ATA) Procedural Exceptions
- Entry and exit to/from an ATA will be via the route structure from the ACP nearest to the portion of the ATA the pilot desires to enter, with specific exceptions.
- When joining Blue Route from an ATA, depart the ATA at or below 700 MSL. Once established on the route, adjust altitude as required.
Airspace Changes
- Requirements for use (or projects that could affect use of airspace) must be given sufficient lead time to permit the necessary action by the Air Traffic and Airspace Officer (AT&A) and the Department of the Army Regional Representative (DAR) working with the Federal Aviation Administration.
Aviation Training Area (ATA) Boundaries
- The aviation training area boundaries are as depicted in this regulation and on the JBLM Aviation Special Map.
- Electronic map files and FalconView overlays can be obtained via the JBLM Aviation Division SharePoint Site.
Maximum Aircraft Densities
- In open-use (non-scheduled) ATAs, maximum aircraft density is:
- X-Ray ATA - 5 aircraft/flights, with a maximum of 10 aircraft.
- Yankee North ATA - 2 aircraft/flights, with a maximum of 4 aircraft.
- Yankee South ATA - 3 aircraft/flights, with a maximum of 4 aircraft.
- Zulu ATA - 2 aircraft/flights, with a maximum of 2 aircraft.
Runway and Helipad Traffic Pattern
- The number of aircraft operating in the traffic patterns will be controlled by Gray Tower.
- When the tower is closed, the maximum number of aircraft must not exceed five.
- No aircraft will pass another while in the traffic pattern or on the route structure.
