Arrival Slot reservations will be available beginning April 3, 2009 at 0600 EDT (1000 UTC) and wi= ll NOT be assigned more than 72 hours in advance.

<= /i>

Note: Scheduled IFR ar= rivals are air carrier/air taxi operations listed in the Official Airline Guide (O= AG) and are exempt from this program. All other IFR arrivals at the above listed airports must obtain a slot reservation.

&= nbsp;

&= nbsp;

HOW TO OBTAIN A SLOT RESERVATION

<= /b>

Pilots may obtain a slot reservation by using computer interfa= ce (e-STMP) or touch-tone telephone interface.

·           e-STMP: compu= ter access is available to users with an Internet connection and Web Browser. The Internet address is www.fly.faa.gov/estmp. A user guide is availa= ble on the web site.

·           = Touch-tone telephone: dial (= 800) 875-9755 and follow the prompts.

Pilots should be prepared to provide their destination/departu= re airport, estimated UTC time of arrival/departure, UTC date, call sign, and = type aircraft.

Aircraft are expected to arrive within +/- 15 minutes= of the assigned reservation time. If a reservation requires change or cancellation, please do so as early as possi= ble in order to release the slot for another flight.

The reservation system will be available 24 hours a day. Reservations should be made using = the automated interfaces. The Airport Reservation Office at (703) 904-4452 is available for technical difficulties.

&= nbsp;

Flight= plans should be filed AFTER receiving a slot reservation. The flight plan should be filed at= least 4 hours, but not more than 22 hours, prior to the proposed time of departur= e.

Confirmation of reservations is REQUIRED and MUST be completed between 24 and 12 hours prior to your reservation time. If the reservation = is NOT confirmed at least 12 hours prior to the reservation time it will be CANCELED and made available in the reservation system.

Upon completion of a slot reservation, you will receive a preliminary reservation number. Between 24 and 12 hours prior to your reservation time you are required to confirm your reservation and will rece= ive a confirmation number. If your reservation is not confirmed at least 12 hou= rs prior to your reservation time, it will be CANCELED and AUTOMA= TICALLY returned to the reservation system for reassignment. If the reservation is = made within 24 hours of the reservation received, it will be AUTOMATICALLY confi= rmed with a confirmation number.

The confirmation number MUST be included in the remarks section of the flight plan.

Note: The acquisition= of an arrival slot does not guarantee that parking will be available at the destination airport. Users sh= ould plan alternates in the event parking becomes unavailable at your airport of intended landing. Current par= king information may be obtained by contacting the appropriate local FBO.

DEPARTURE PROCEDURES=

<= /b>

In order to keep traffic and frequency congestion to a minimum= :

DO NOT CALL GROUND CONTROL TO TAXI until you are the number one aircr= aft that can enter a taxiway from the ramp or parking area.

DO NOT TAXI until you have received taxi instructions and, if IFR, have received a clearance.

DO NOT CALL THE TOWER FOR DEPARTURE until you are in the number one po= sition for the runway.

AUGUSTA REGIONAL AIRPORT (AGS) - = All departing aircraft contact clearance delivery on 118.2. Advise if IFR or VFR.

DANIEL FIELD (DNL) - All departing aircraft contact ground control on 121.825. Advise if IFR or VFR.

FBO Information

&= nbsp;

FBO Check-in.

All pilots are requested to check-in with the FBO customer ser= vice representatives (CSRs) on arrival. CSRs need to know local contact information, service requirements, a= nd estimated departure information to aid in managing the ramp space and to provide timely service. =

Fuel Orders.

Fuel orders are taken only at the FBO customer service counter. Fuel servicing is pr= ovided on a first come, first served priority based on departure requirements. To meet your fueling requirements = in a timely manner, we are bringing in additional personnel and fueling equipmen= t.

Towing Aircraft.

To make most efficient use of our limited ramp space, our line= men frequently need to “tighten up” the aircraft parked on the ramp. Pilots are therefore requested to leave their aircraft configured to tow. Please let the FBO CSR know if the aircraft is not configured to tow, if you would like to be contacted before moving your aircraft, or if you have any special concerns about towing the aircraft. For your convenienc= e, we have wheel chocks available.

&= nbsp;

Active Taxiways.

ATC approval is required = to enter or cross an active taxiway. Please do not allow your crew or passengers to cross an active taxiway on foot. Contact the FBO on 122.95 for transportation.

&= nbsp;

Commercial Aircraft Terminal Gate Area.<= /b>

The Commercial Aircraft Terminal Gate Area is defined as the commercial terminal, gates, and commercial aircraft parking areas, and is located just north of the FBO. This is a restricted area. Personn= el entering the holding room must be screened by TSA. Personnel transiting the commercial aircraft parking area must be escorted by badged airport personnel. Please do not allow crew or passengers= to transit the Commercial Aircraft Terminal Gate Area without a badged airport escort.

Ramp (Parking) Areas.

Ramp (parking) areas are congested with aircraft, vehicles, and pedestrians. The ramps are non-movement areas and are not controlled by Air Traffic Control (ATC). Pilots operating in these areas do= so at their own risk. When taxiing = in parking area, be alert for parked aircraft, taxiing aircraft, aircraft with engines running, and vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Taxiing during hours of darkness or limited visibility is more demanding and requires greater attention. Pilots are reminded to contact gro= und control prior to entering an active taxiway.

&= nbsp;

Overflow Parking Areas.

Due to the large amount of traffic associated with the Masters® Tournament, the Airport has designated Taxiway A, Taxiway D, a= nd two steel planking areas as aircraft overflow parking areas. The steel planking areas are locat= ed midfield east of Taxiway C and east of the north ramp. The airport anticipates using the = two steel planking overflow parking areas only when absolutely required due to traffic/parking saturation. When directed to one of these park= ing areas, please follow your signalman’s instructions.

&= nbsp;

Ground Transportation.

FBO provides ground transportation for passengers and crew.

When parked on the main ramp (west of Taxiway C and south of t= he Commercial Aircraft Terminal Gate Area), passengers and crew may walk betwe= en their aircraft and the FBO or use FBO transportation.

When parked on the north ramp, Taxiway A, Taxiway D, or steel planking areas the FBO will provide transportation. Pedestrian traffic is not allowed between the FBO and these parking areas.&n= bsp; Please wait at your aircraft for transportation.

The active taxiways and Commercial Aircraft Terminal Gate Area, located between the parking areas and the FBO, must not be entered on foot = and without an airport escort. Please instruct your passengers and crew personn= el that pedestrians are prohibited from entering or crossing active taxiways and the Commercial Aircraft Terminal Gate Area on foot. Contact the FBO on 122.95 for transportation.

&= nbsp;

Engine Start-up and Taxi.

Pilots are requested to delay engine start-up until you have y= our clearance and just immediately before taxi. Excessive engine running is prohibited. Pilots are reques= ted to monitor ATIS on 132.75 before engine start.

&= nbsp;

Customs.

US Customs service is not available at Augusta Regional Airport.
&= nbsp;

Vehicular Traffic.

No ground vehicles are allowed on ramps except those belonging= to the Airport or to Airport tenants and operated by airport-trained personnel= .

&= nbsp;

Departure Procedures.

Check FBO flight planning room for the latest information on arrival and departure procedures.

Landing Fees.

All commercial operators will be imposed a landing fee based on aircraft weight and size. Adv= ise the FBO if you are not operating as a commercial operator.

&= nbsp;

Helicopter Traffic.

Helicopter traffic will not use the normal designated helicopt= er parking area east of the FBO. Helicopter pilots should follow the signalman’s instructions a= nd anticipate parking in the flagged grass areas either north or south of the = main ramp.

Restricted Operations.

Formation flights, cargo flights, training flights, practice approaches and touch and go operations are prohibited April 6 - 12, 2009.

COLUMBIA METROPOLITIAN AIRPORT (CAE)

Due to the volume associated with the event in the vicinity of AGS, arrivals to CAE transitioning from the west can expect a speed reducti= on 60 miles west of CAE and a routing of:
