MCAS CHERRY POINT
PILOT INFORMATION HANDOUT
1. PURPOSE. To provide aircrews with a ready reference for procedures,
scheduling, use and restrictions within Special Use Airspace. This handout also
provides airport information, NAVAIDS and frequencies for MCAS Cherry
Point and the local flying area.
2. INFORMATION: This handout is informational and not directive in nature.
Definite authority for the procedures outlined herein is contained in the Cherry
Point Airfield Operations Manual (AirStaO P3710.5) and the Targets Manual
(AirStaO P3570.2).
3. POINT OF CONTACT: Questions regarding the information contained
herein may be directed to the MCAS Cherry Point ATC Facility Officer or the
ATC Facility Watch Officer, 466-4146. The ATC Facility may also be
contacted through the Operations Duty Officer, 466-2233.
RESTRICTED AREA 5306A (R-5306A)
SCHEDULING: The Commanding General, MCAS Cherry Point, delegated
the scheduling authority of R-5306A to the Central Scheduling Division, 466-
4040/4041. This scheduling authority includes the targets and Military Training
Routes (MTRs) for which MCAS Cherry Point is the originating authority.
Scheduling R-5306A for exclusive use requires approval of Commanding
General, 2d MAW (G-3 Ops) and Commanding General, MCAS Cherry Point
(DirOps).
USE OF R-5306A: Unless otherwise scheduled, military operations within R-
5306A shall be on a VFR concurrent use basis. Extreme vigilance shall be
maintained as numerous military and civilian aircraft use these areas
concurrently. All participating aircraft shall contact APPROACH (314.0) prior
to entering or exiting R-5306A. Once established within the restricted area, the
pilot shall contact Big Rock on 244.8 and is responsible for the conduct of the
mission, squawking the assigned code and remaining within the approved area
of operation.
The following restrictions apply when operating within the restricted area.
1. Aircraft, except those scheduled to use BT-9 or BT-11, shall remain outside
of a five nautical mile radius from the center of either target.
2. R-5306A is divided into sub-areas. Pilots using this restricted area shall be
familiar with the sub-areas and procedures. Authorization to fly in the following
sub-areas must be requested from Big Rock by area name.

LOST COMMUNICATION
"If no transmissions received for one minute in the pattern or
(five/fifteen) seconds on final approach, attempt contact
Cherry Point Approach 268.7/124.1 and proceed VFR. If
unable, proceed to TARHL DME fix, maintain last assigned
altitude, proceed with TACAN Runway 32L approach (circle
runway ____)"
Contact Approach to a Pad
Without a waiver from FAA directives, the only way to transition from a
precision approach to a VSTOL Pad in IFR conditions is for the pilot to
specifically request a Contact Approach.
A controller cannot initiate or clear an aircraft for a contact approach unless the
pilot requests it.
The pilot must have 1 mile flight visibility and visual reference to the ground.
The AOM allows for the pilot to declare his intentions to land on a pad after the
completion of a PAR approach.
The pilot shall, on initial contact with Cherry Point Approach or Arrival, request
a PAR approach and identify the desired pad for landing. This request shall not
be made with the final controller.
Upon meeting contact approach weather requirements, the pilot shall request a
contact approach. Pilots shall remain on assigned GCA frequency until
instructed to contact tower.
h. LOCALIZER AREA: That portion of R-5306A South of the Cherry
Point TACAN 100 radial, 3000 feet and below. This area is used for the
localizer runway 26 approach at the Michael J. Smith airport. Military aircraft
shall avoid this area when advised it is in use.
i. NOISE SENSITIVE AREAS
(1) Aircraft shall avoid overflying the industrial complex aboard
MCAS Cherry Point, the densely populated areas of the Air Station, Crash
Crew, and the rifle range below pattern altitudes. Pilots shall also avoid
overflying the City of Havelock, Minnesott Beach, the Cedar Island Ferry
Terminal and ferry.
(2) AV-8 arrivals and departures to the pads will not overfly Crash
Crew or the rifle range.

can be scheduled for major exercises only.
NEUSE ATC ASSIGNED AIRSPACE (ATCAA)
SCHEDULING ACTIVITY: Central Scheduling Division
LOCATION: NEUSE Alpha overlies R-5306A, FL180-230
NEUSE Bravo overlies Alert Area 530 and R-5306C/D/E
FL180-230
INTENDED USE: Aerial refueling, tactical operations not requiring live fire.
SCHEDULING: 2d MAW units desiring to schedule the Neuse ATCAA shall
contact Central Scheduling (466-4040/4041) a minimum of two hours prior to
planned departure.
COORDINATION: Scheduling Division must ensure the requested time is
available for scheduling and coordinated with Cherry Point Approach a
minimum of one hour prior to the expected arrival time. Pilots must call
APPROACH, 466-5960 DSN 582-5960, one hour prior to scheduled use.
OPERATING CRITERIA: Flights scheduled into the Neuse shall be filed on
a DD-175 or squadron daily flight schedule. Cherry Point based aircraft contact
clearance delivery (316.125) for clearance into the Neuse area. Contact
approach control for clearance from the Neuse ATCAA. Radar service will be
provided to and from the area.
Warning Area 122

Warning Area 122
SCHEDULING ACTIVITY: FACSFAC VACAPES
LOCATION: Southeast of Cherry Point (over water 3 miles off the coast,
surface to unlimited.)
INTENDED USE: Tactical Operations, including live firing.
GENERAL INFORMATION: Scheduled on a first come, first serve basis
normally one week in advance of intended use. Warning Area schedule
published weekly, final confirmation and any restrictive notes are included on
the schedule.
OPERATING CRITERIA: Entering W-122 requires mandatory radio contact
with Giant Killer (FACSFAC) on 251.6 or 310.1 prior to entry.
CONTROL CRITERIA: IFR service to/from W-122 is available from Cherry
Point Approach Control/Giant Killer upon request. Cherry Point based aircraft
requesting this service, contact Clearance Delivery (316.125), expect clearance
to Point Alpha (NKT 134/027) or Point Bravo (NKT 184/016) to maintain
cardinal altitudes (between 3000 and 17000) with a radar handoff to Giant
Killer. On return to Cherry Point, Giant Killer will provide clearance and
handoff to Cherry Point Approach Control.
RESTRICTED AREA PROCEDURES
1. Contact Range Control (Big Rock) on 244.8/139.3 with mission number for
approval into R-5306A/Neuse ATCAA or 323.775/141.95 for R-5306C/D/E and
Hat Fox. Include area to be used and type/number of aircraft. Issuance of a
squawk shall be approval into the restricted areas excluding the sub-areas that
require individual approval. All departing aircraft, regardless of destination,
contact Departure Control on 268.7/124.1. Aircraft that do not possess a valid
mission number will not be allowed access to R-5306A. Add-on missions on
the day of schedule execution will only be permitted up to two hours prior to
requested airspace/range time.
2. Airborne aircraft shall contact Big Rock for entry into local SUA.

accordance with these provisions are not authorized to operate within R-5306A
or bombing target areas.
UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES (UAVs)
1. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have become part of the Air Wing
resulting in their basing at MCAS Cherry Point. The majority of their training
still takes place in Special Use Airspace but now they must transit Class D and E
airspace to get to those areas.
2. Scheduling of Taxiway Foxtrot UAV operations shall be made through
MAG-14 and MCAS Cherry Point Base Operations at least 48 hours prior to
scheduled operations. All operations will be included on a daily flight schedule.
All Taxiway Foxtrot operations are considered special operations which require
special handling. Priority and scheduling conflicts will be resolved through
MAG-14 G-3. All Special Use Airspace shall be scheduled through the
appropriate Range Scheduling activity.
