OPERATIONSAVIATION OPERATIONSAviation assets in Northwest Wyoming are dispatched out of the Cody Interagency Dispatch Center (CDC). Aviation resources will be dispatched based upon the “Closest Forces Policy”, regardless of agency affiliation.

Dispatch Center is operational 7 days a week during fire season.Normal operating hours: 0730-1800

Location:2501 Wright Bros Dr. Cody, WY 82414

CDC Contact Phone Numbers:Aircraft Desk 307-578-5750Dispatch Center (24 hrs.) 800-295-9954 307-578-5740Fire Fax 307-578-5759

CDC e-mail: [email protected]

Aircraft hours of operations: 0900-1800 (pre-flights completed and ready to fly at 0900), hours could be extended on either end by management.

A copy of all Aircraft Daily Cost sheets MUST be submitted to the Aircraft Dispatcher for all fire and non-fire flights. Submit costs to: [email protected]

Aircraft managers must call into Cody Dispatch every morning and evening upon going in service and out of service. Information on status should be relayed at that time, such as upcoming pilot/crew swaps, mandatory days off, scheduled maintenance due on aircraft, needs, issues, etc. Cody Dispatch needs to be notified immediately of any maintenance or mechanical issues that take the aircraft out of service.

Aircraft managers are expected to be at or call into the daily briefing at 0930 when zone planning level reaches High to Extreme. Morning briefing will consist of:

1) Weather2) Resource line up3) Scheduled Missions4) Outstanding Requests5) Upcoming Events (Ex. ATGS swap out)6) Changes/Updates (EX. TFR updates)7) Misc. (Questions, Comments, Concerns)

*In addition to the morning briefing call, the Aircraft Dispatcher will email/fax a copy of the Large Incident Aircraft Status Summary page to all FMO’s, Aviation Overhead, Duty Officers, and bordering dispatch centers.

All personnel must be prepared to stay at a different location than where they originated from. This means taking your jammies with you every day!

You are expected to be self-sufficient and on per diem. If this is a problem contact the Aviation Manger/Dispatch Center Manager immediately so arrangements can be made.

Upon demobilization, a flight plan is required by dispatch. This should include all legs of the flight; identify type of flight following, if FAA flight plan has also been filed, manifest of personnel on board, and travel information for any support/chase vehicles.

SAFECOM: It is expected that a Safecom will be filed to report any condition, observation, act, maintenance problem, or circumstance with personnel or the aircraft

8

that has the potential to cause an aviation related mishap. Notify the Aircraft Desk or Unit Aviation Officer on any Safecom submittals.

INITIAL RESPONSE OPERATIONS/PROTOCOL All orders for aviation assets will come through the Cody Interagency Dispatch

Center Information concerning the assignment will be relayed to the appropriate

Aircraft Manager by the Aircraft Dispatcher All aircraft and crews are expected to be IA ready and in the air within 15

minutes of notification of assignment The Aircraft Manager will provide an estimated off time for the aircraft The pilot/manager will contact the dispatch center once in the air and provide

flight information as appropriate (ie: ETE, FOB, SOB) The IA (Incident Action) number will be used in communications referencing the

fire until the fire has been named and then the fire name will be used While enroute to an incident, do not deviate to check out another smoke – there

may already be aircraft over that incident or responding to it – notify dispatch of the smoke and only go there if directed to do so by dispatch

If you are the first resource on scene – provide a size-up to dispatch as soon as possible

•Do not use any catchment type (reservoir or pond) water source without prior approval from the AFMO, FMO, or Dispatch unless it is a life safety issue. Make sure you document such decisions. If you spot a good water source and would like to use it, provide dispatch with a location (lat/long) Dispatch will contact the appropriate jurisdictional fire authority for permission.

Wyoming Dispatch Centers’ Border Pilot BriefingThe boundary between adjacent dispatch centers has the potential for conflicted airspace when more than one dispatch center dispatches aviation resources to the common corridor. The common corridor, for purposes of airspace de-confliction, is defined as the area 5 statute miles on either side of the boundary line. Cody Interagency Dispatch Center shares boundaries with:

Billings Interagency Dispatch Center to the Northeast Rawlins Interagency Dispatch Center to the South Casper Interagency Dispatch Center to the East Bozeman Interagency Dispatch Center to the Northwest Teton Dispatch Center to the West Yellowstone Dispatch Center to the West-Northwest

9

To provide better aircraft coordination and safety along Wyoming dispatch centers' borders, the following will be followed:

When flying in the areas near dispatch center and state line borders and you see a smoke column:

o DO NOT divert to the smoke. - There may be other aircraft responding or enroute to the area.

Contact the dispatch center you are currently flight following with BEFORE either crossing the border or entering within the 12nm Fire Traffic Area (FTA) limit for that column. Cody Dispatch will contact the dispatch center responsible for that area and acquire information to ensure there are no aircraft present and your services are needed or desired. Also, as applicable, they will provide both the center and you (the aircraft) with necessary contact and response information.

FLIGHT FOLLOWING PROCEDURES

AVIATION PROCEDURES

All flight following will be handled through the Cody Dispatch Center for all tactical fire missions. The standard 15-minute check-in period will be followed, NO EXCEPTIONS!

If aircraft are equipped with automated flight following, then the 15-minute tracking will be done by computer with an “ops normal” check every 30 minutes unless otherwise negotiated with dispatch. The aircraft dispatcher and pilot must agree to which method of flight following will take place (15 min radio check-ins or AFF ops normal).

Pilots must monitor at least one predetermined radio frequency as an alternate means of flight following in the event the AFF system fails in the aircraft or in dispatch, or in case dispatch needs to cancel a mission, divert the aircraft to a higher priority incident, or relay other critical information regarding hazardous weather, TFRs, etc.

Regardless of AFF being used, radio communications must be maintained with all aircraft which the dispatcher has agreed to flight follow. To and from the tanker bases the dispatch center will flight follow using the National Flight Following frequency or automated flight following if available.

10

Emergency in-flight communications will utilize National Air Guard. When using these frequencies, be sure to identify: Cody Dispatch Flight Follow, etc., as other dispatch centers in the area are using the same frequency and they may think you are calling them.

The flight following frequency is to be used only when transporting tactical aircraft from another area to our local area or vice-versa. As soon as feasible, switch all communications over to the identified tactical frequency. This could be a dedicated Air to Ground or the local radio net.

Note: Incident Management Teams are required to request their own discrete tactical frequencies for their incident. Unless mutually agreed upon during the Delegation of Authority, the Dispatch Office will flight follow all tactical aircraft to and from the incident. Once on scene, the aviation resources become the responsibility of the incident management team.

The Aviation Hazard Map is updated annually. You are encouraged to either stop by the dispatch center to review the map prior to commencing flight operations and/or the local Unit Aviation Manager/Officer will provide you with a pilot hazard map.

Air Operations within the Rocky Mountain Area will operate utilizing the Fire Traffic Area (FTA) scheme. See the FTA Diagram on page 19 of this guide.

All aviation incidents and accidents will be reported to the dispatch center immediately to ensure the proper procedures are implemented. A Safecom will be required and a copy provided to the Unit Aviation Officer and/or Aircraft Dispatcher within 24 hours of the incident.

Cody Interagency Dispatch Center utilizes BLM and USFS radio systems for communications. Regardless of the jurisdiction of an incident, any of the repeaters may be used to communicate with dispatch. Radio relays are a viable option when encountering dead areas in the radio system.

While on an incident, communications will be maintained with dispatch at all times. If communications cannot be established and maintained, resources will disengage, unless otherwise approved by the Fire Management Officer or Duty Officer.

14

dispatcher on missions, outstanding requests, crew swaps, frequency changes, TFR updates, and hours of operation.

Cody Dispatch will flight follow all tactical aircraft to and from the incident. Once on scene, the aviation resources become the responsibility of the incident management team.

In the event of an initial attack, responding aviation resources will flight follow with the dispatch center. The AOBD and aircraft dispatcher will coordinate on available initial attack aviation resources.

At the end of each shift, the AOBD or designated incident aviation point of contact, will contact the aircraft desk to confirm all aircraft have landed for the evening.

Preventing Spread of Aquatic Invasive OrganismsFirefighter and public safety is still the first priority, but aquatic invasive plants and animals pose a risk to both the environment and to firefighting equipment. The following guidelines were developed to help avoid the spread of aquatic invasive species:

Avoid contacting mud and aquatic plants in any body of water.

Avoid transferring water between drainages or between unconnected waters within the same drainage. Avoid dumping water directly from one stream or lake into another.

15

Avoid sucking organic and bottom material into water intakes when drafting or dipping from streams or ponds.

Avoid obtaining water from multiple sources during a single operational period unless drafting/dipping equipment is sanitized between sources.

If contamination of gear with raw or mud/plants is unavoidable make sure all equipment that comes into contact with raw water is sanitized.

Establish sanitation areas where there is no potential for runoff into waterways, storm drains, or sensitive habitats.

Treating a bucket or other water carrying device with chemicals is recommended to kill any aquatic invasive species. Approved chemicals (Quat based) and equipment are available from three offices within the dispatch zone (Cody, Worland, Sheridan) by contacting the Duty Officer.

If a vendor has their own supply, clean the equipment in an area that will not harm the environment. Avoid areas where there is potential runoff into waterways, storm drains, or sensitive habitats.

The only place to find all TFR’s posted graphically 7 days a week (during fire season). Contact dispatch for daily updates. http://tfr.faa.gov/tfr_map_ims/html/reg/scale3/tile_2_2.html

FLIGHT PLANNING : The DOI Flight Request/Schedule Form (9400-1a) has been adopted as the national interagency standard dispatch form for all point to point flights. This form MUST be completed by the Flight Manager and/or the Aircraft Dispatcher and submitted to RMCC prior to aircraft departure.

For point to point flights, flight manager and/or pilot has the option to file FAA and/or Agency flight following.

Agency flight following may require coordination with adjoining dispatch centers in the flight path, to assure the dispatch center will be staffed and available to assist in SAR and overdue aircraft. The originating dispatch center will remain staffed until the aircraft has transferred through a documented, positive handoff.

FAA flight following requires the pilot to file a flight plan with the appropriate FAA facility. It is the pilot’s responsibility to confirm with dispatch which type of FAA flight plan/flight following will be used (IFR vs VRF). The pilot and/or flight manager will contact dispatch with an estimated time of departure (ETD), estimated time en route (ETE), and close out with dispatch once the aircraft is on the ground (ATA).

If an aircraft misses a scheduled check in and is deemed overdue or missing, the Cody Interagency Dispatch Center will implement the Interagency Aviation Mishap Response Plan.

WEATHER/TOPOGRAPHYThe Cody Interagency Dispatch Zone (CDC Zone) is situated in the northwest quadrant of Wyoming. The CDC Zone is 15,238,113 acres and roughly covers 190 miles north to south and 140 miles east to west. The western part of CDC Zone reaches parts of the continental divide on the leeward side of the Absaroka’s, Beartooth, and Wind River Mountains. The southern end of the CDC Zone extends from South Pass into the edges of the Great Divide Basin. The eastern edge extends up from the Rattlesnake Mountains and across the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains. The central to northern portions of the CDC Zone make up the Bighorn Basin which is bounded by all of the mountain ranges mentioned along with the Owl Creek Mountains. Population centers are concentrated along main river and transportation corridors.

To access the Cody Interagency Dispatch Center’s fire weather forecasts click on http://gacc.nifc.gov/rmcc/dispatch_centers/r2cdc/predictive/weather/weather.htmWind River/Big Horn Basin DistrictAviation operations in the Wind River/Big Horn Basin District are typically conducted over a variety of terrain with elevations ranging from 5,000 feet to 12,000 feet above sea level. Typically, climate conditions range from hot, dry summers to cold winters with heavy snowfall. Afternoon thunderstorms develop frequently and suddenly during the summer months. Parts of Wyoming are known for the extreme wind conditions that persist for several days or weeks during certain times of the year. The interaction of strong wind and mountain topography can create extreme hazards for all aircraft operations. Decreased aircraft performance due to high Density Altitude is a critical consideration when utilizing specific makes and models of aircraft, and when briefing pilots and aircrews.

BLM WX Zones include: Worland BLM 282, 287; Lander BLM 283, 289; Cody BLM 275, 276. Use the Riverton WFO discussion.

Bighorn National ForestThe 1.1 million acre Bighorn National Forest contains the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area which covers about 120,000 acres, and combined with additional road less areas, approximately 60% of the Forest is considered remote. Elevations range from 4,400 feet near Sheridan to over 13,300 feet on Cloud Peak. The mountains typically have cooler temperatures and stronger winds than the adjacent lowlands where most airports are located. Strong winds frequently form and are channeled where mountain ranges block the movement of high and low pressure systems creating strong pressure gradients. Significant thermal variations and temperature gradients form between the mountains and valleys creating significant hazards to aviation that include turbulence, lee-side mountain wave and rotor conditions, occasional severe thunderstorms, and high density altitude conditions.

Bighorn NF WX Zone consists of 284 using the Billings WFO discussion.

21

Shoshone National ForestThe 2.4 million acre Shoshone National Forest contains five Wilderness Areas which cover 1,378,440 acres, or about 57% of the Forest. A portion of the Forest lies along the east side of the Continental Divide in the Wind River and Absaroka Mountains. Elevations range from 4,600 feet near Cody to over 13,800 feet on Gannet Peak in the Wind River Range. The mountains typically have cooler temperatures and stronger winds than the adjacent lowlands where most airports are located. Strong winds frequently form and are channeled where mountain ranges block the movement of high and low pressure systems creating strong pressure gradients. Significant thermal variations and temperature gradients form between the mountains and valleys creating significant hazards to aviation that include turbulence, lee-side mountain wave and rotor conditions, occasional severe thunderstorms, and high density altitude conditions. Note: Carter Mountain (SW of Cody) and Clayton (W of Cody) are prone to unexpected high winds that can prevent a helicopter from being restarted once it has shut down. There have been situations in the past where a restart was not possible due to the influence of the wind on the rotor angle. The result was a damaged helicopter and stranded personnel. For operations on Carter Mountain and Clayton Mountain, shut down of the helicopter will not be permitted.

Shoshone NF WX Zones include: 286, 288 using the Riverton WFO discussion.

HAZARDS

There are several high tension power lines and numerous oil rigs scattered throughout the area. With the influx of oil and gas activity there is more aircraft, mainly helicopters associated with this activity, flying in the area. You must be very diligent in “See and Avoid” strategy.

There are few MTRs, SUAs, or other military operations within our dispatch area. However, there are military aircraft that do pass through at low levels and have in the past checked out smoke columns. The

22

Aircraft Dispatcher will contact the military to de-conflict airspace whenever aircraft are operating in or near military airspace.

MTRIFR499Segments IFR499 SK – IFR499 M1IFR473Segments IFR473 P – IFR473J

There are events that typically take place throughout the fire season such as hang gliding, hot air balloons, gliders, and VIP visits.

A hazard map is available in dispatch and you are encouraged to get a copy to take with you.
