  1. MCAS Miramar Joint Use Brief

  2. Federal Guidelines • DON Joint Use Policy – SECNAVINST 3770.2 (25 Jun 76) • SECDEF Joint Use Policy Memo (16 Dec 83) • DOD / DOT Joint Use Plan (8 Mar 84) • National Defense Authorization Act of 1996 • “The Secretary of the Navy may not enter into any agreement that provides for or permits civil aircraft to regularly use NAS or MCAS Miramar.”

  3. DOD/DOT Joint Use Policy An Airport will not be considered for joint use when it involves: • Incompatible operations • Pilot training (student or qualification) • Dissimilar operations (traffic mix) • Routine access through military base (security) • Co-location of military & civil aircraft • Co-location of facilities • Increased cost to DOD • DOD Environmental Costs • Increased airfield operating hours

  4. MCAS Miramar Joint UseFatal Flaws • Incompatible Operations • Pilot Training vs Commercial Carriers • Ordnance Operations • Dissimilar Operations (traffic mix) • Tactical Jets • Helicopters • Commercial Carriers

  5. MCAS Miramar Joint Use Fatal Flaws • Access/Security • Co-location of facilities • Co-location of military and commercial aircraft • Routine access vs Force Protection • Costs • Increased Cost to DOD • DOD Environmental Costs

  6. MCAS Miramar Joint UseFatal Flaws • Impact on Surrounding Communities • Increased operating hours • Decreased Quality of Life • Operations • National Defense • Contingency requirements • Divert Field • Arresting gear

  7. Joint/Shared Use Why / Where it Works Joint Use • Dissimilar Levels of Activity -Shepard AFB (less than 2% commercial ops) • Compatible Operations • March ARB, Riverside, CA • Dover AFB, Dover, DE Shared Use • MCAS Yuma, AZ (less than 10% commercial ops) • Trend toward additional commercial ops is increasing friction and near miss mid-airs

  8. Proposed RunwayConfigurations East Miramar Northern Parallel LANDFILL

  9. Miramar CapacityFatal Flaws Airport Capacity • Current San Diego International Airport • 209,000 annual operations (2004) • SDCRAA estimates • Increase to 260,000 operations (2015) • Projected at 373,000 operations (2030) • U.S. Navy / FAA Airspace Analysis* (1974) • Miramar projected annual operations are approx 112,000 • Maximum capacity of Miramar is approximately 400,000 annual operations

  10. Proposed Civil Runway Proposed Civil Runway Joint UseIncompatibility Instrument Pattern Rifle Range Ordnance Storage Helo FCLP Jet FCLP Security Issues

  11. Summary • MCAS Miramar has been and will remain incompatible for commercial aviation joint use (*) • MCAS Miramar is irreplaceable after previous consolidations • The Marine Corps Air Ground Team concept is reliant on our proximity to supported units in I MEF as well as the numerous training ranges in the Southwest Military Training Complex • The Navy-Marine Corps team’s combat readiness depends on our ability to train together to ensure the country’s national security objectives are met • Military Operational Priority for Airspace is imperative to maintain Safety, Security, and Operational Readiness • Ordnance issues aboard MCAS Miramar, the Marine Corps’ “Master Jet Base” on the West Coast presents a safety hazard for commercial aviation that cannot be ignored. *United States Navy “FEASIBILITY FOR JOINT USE OF NAS MIRAMAR, SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA” Study of February 1991.
