           THE OPERATION OF HELICOPTERS AT DHAHRAN AIRBASE. AIRFLOW INTO


           DHAHRAN AIRBASE HAS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY WITH THE SURGE OF

           AIR FORCE AIRCRAFT BRINGING VII CORPS PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT

           INTO THEATER. THE RAMP SPACE EAST OF TAXIWAY F  IS NOW BEING

           USED FOR OFF-LOADING AIR FORCE AIRCRAFT.

           2. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, HELICOPTERS WILL ONLY USE DHAHRAN

           AIRBASE TO DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP PASSENGERS AND CARGO.

           HELICOPTERS ARRIVING AT DHAHRAN FOR MAINTENANCE WILL COORDINATE

           WITH I CO, 159TH AVN (AVIM) IN ADVANCE FOR PARKING. ALL OTHER

           AIRCRAFT WILL COORDINATE TO USE TRANSIENT PARKING AT WEST


           HELIPORT.

           3. THE INTENT OF THESE PROCEDURES IS TO ALLEVIATE THE

           CONGESTION AT DHAHRAN ARRSASE. THE AVIATION COMMUNITY  MUST

           DISCIPLINE THEMSELVES TO PRESERVE THE CONTINUED USE OF DHAHRAN

           AIRBASE FOR HELICOPTER OPERATIONS. IF WE CONTINUE TO PARK ON

           THE RAMPS AT DHAHRAN WITH NO PRIOR COORDINATION, WE WILL

           EVENTUALLY BE TOLD WE CANNOT USE THESE VALUABLE FACILITIES.

           4. POINT OF CONTACT IS CORPS AVIATION, 9-7650-126 OR MSE

           324-9303..
