 AIRFIELD SURVEY CHECKLIST

1. General:

a. The Airfield Survey Checklist is in two parts; Part I, Airfield Data and Part II, Airfield Support.
Part I is designed to provide information which will be used to determine if the airfield can
physically accept an airlift or tanker aircraft, eg., C-5, C-17, C-141, KC-10, and Commercial B-
747, DC-10, DC-8, etc. Part II is designed to provide information, which will be used to
determine if the airfield has the facilities to support an airlift or tanker operation.

b. Include representatives from LG, TR, CE, SE, etc., on the Airfield Survey Team, as required.
Personnel accomplishing the airfield survey should contact appropriate host airfield officials to
obtain required information.

c. The Airfield Survey Checklist should be completed in as much detail as possible. Attach
supporting information (digital photographs, maps, charts, and diagrams) to the survey checklist
whenever possible, to furnish required information.

2. Runway, Taxiway, and Parking Area Data:

a. Identify and complete data blocks on all runways, taxiways, and parking areas whether they are
active or inactive.

b. Include digital photographs (if possible) and an airfield diagram or sketch labeling each of the
above.

c. Identify specific taxi routes and parking areas on the airfield diagram/sketch.

d. List the published runway, taxiway, or apron strengths by at least on of the following designations:

T – Twin gear rating

ST – Single Tandem gear rating

TT – Twin Tandem gear rating

TDT – Twin Delta Tandem gear rating

ESWL – Equivalent Single Wheel Loading (Include associated tire pressure if available.)

LCN- Load Classification Number

When listing T, ST, TT, or TDT, include the other ratings, if available (e.g., if T is given, attempt
to obtain the ST, TT, and TDT rating). If data source is current FLIP, confirm with appropriate
airport official/civil engineers. If other ratings are not available, do not convert. Every effort
should be made to furnish a LCN at airports that will support civilian aircraft.

e. Identify and locate all obstructions adjacent to all runways, taxiways, and parking aprons. When
possible include photographs. (For example, runway distance markers 4 feet high every 1,000 feet
along RWY 04/22, 80 feet from centerline). If obstacle data is listed in current FLIPs, confirm its
accuracy. Measure distance to the obstruction from runway/taxiway centerline. If no taxi
centerline is on apron measure obstruction from edge of apron surface and so indicate.
 NOTE: Use “feet” and “gallons” as the preferred method of measurement. If data collected is other
than “feet” or “gallons”, convert data and place side by side in appropriate block

f. Identify and include all obstructions in the approach and departure zones that violate the standards
listed in AFI 32-1026. Identify all obstructions and associated heights and locate them from a
known reference point adjacent or near to the obstruction.

g. Record distances between adjacent runways, taxiways, and parking areas. For example, 1,000 feet
between RWY 20 and parallel taxiway. Measure distance from marked edge lines or stressed
surface.

h. Record condition of area surfaces in regard to possible repair, FOD, and engine blast damage.
(Include photographs if possible.)

i. List and locate AGE equipment, buildings, barriers, etc., which are subject to possible blast
damage.

j. Designate tie-down rings that qualify as aircraft grounding points.

k. Include any gross weight or other limitation imposed by airfield officials/manager.

l. Review all airfield waivers. Obtain copies of any waivers not contained in FLIPs or NOTAMs.
(Include in Survey.)

3. Base Support:

a. When showing cost indicate type of acceptable payment (i.e. US $, or local currency).

b. Also indicate acceptable method of payment (i.e. Credit card, MIPR, cash, or Form 15).

c. Determine AGE and MHE available, cost compatibility, and condition. Determine base and
procurement resources.

d. Determine availability, cost, method of payment, capacity, and condition of warehouse and open
storage facilities.

e. Determine availability, cost, and location of workspace for functional areas.

f. Determine availability, cost, type, capability, and location of telephones, communications,

computer equipment, and support.

4. Navigational Aids:

a. Indicate if replacements or additions to existing facilities are expected.

b. Determine if published SIDs can be used in lieu of radar vectors. Attach a copy of current SIDs to
survey.

5. Summaries:

a. In the summary area of each section, provide a brief synopsis of data collected.

b. Also include programmed improvements, closures, or changes (i.e. 2 or 5 year plan)

c. When team members can not perform a quality survey due to restrictions imposed by local
authorities, especially foreign governments, or lack of subject matter experts, the team members
should attempt to gather as much information as possible. The team chief will indicate these
limitations in each section summary. Also include these limitations in the final summary.

d. The final summary should include an overall assessment to include showstoppers and/or known
deficiencies. (Keep in mind this is an assessment based on the information you have
gathered, not a suitability evaluation.)

k. All Overseas Locations:

(3) What potentially transmissible diseases are prevalent in the surrounding area(s)?

INFECTIOUS DISEASE RISK ASSESSMENT

In descending order, the following infectious diseases pose the greatest risk to deployed forces:
(1) Diarrheal Diseases: Endemic at moderate to high levels; outbreaks are occurring with
increasing frequency; caused by several bacterial, protozoal, and viral agents.

(2) Other Food or Waterborne Diseases: Viral Hepatitis A and E, Typhoid and Paratyphoid
Fevers

(3) Vector-Borne Diseases: Arboviral Diseases: Including sandfly fever, West Nile virus fever,
tick-borne encephalitis, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Malaria (focally endemic, primarily
occurs April to October), Leishmaniasis (polymorphic protozoan disease of skin/mucous
membranes)

(4) Person-to-Person/Respiratory-borne Diseases: Meningococcal Meningitis (more common

between November and March), and Tuberculosis

(5) Sexually Transmitted and/or Bloodborne Diseases: Gonorrhea, Chlamydial Diseases,

Viral Hepatitis B/D and C, Syphilis, HIV/AIDS

(6) Other Endemic Diseases: Brucellosis (infection usually is contracted by exposure to

livestock or consumption of unpasteurized milk products), Leptospirosis (infection usually is
attributed to skin contact with water or moist soil contaminated with urine of infected animals),
Hantaviral Diseases, Anthrax (ingestion of infected meat), Rabies (wolf, fox, stray dog bites), Q
Fever (ticks, livestock), Spotted Fever Group Rickettsioses (ticks), Boutonneuse fever (tick),
Tick-Borne and Louse-Borne Relapsing Fever (tick), Lyme Disease (tick), Plague (flea-borne),
Flea-Borne and Louse-Borne typhus
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH RISKS:

(1) Hazardous Animals, Insects, and Plants:

Venomous Land Snakes (Family Viperidae, including Vipera ammodytes, Vipera kaznakovi,
Vipera lebetina, Vipera ursinii, Vipera xanthina)
Scorpions (none known to be life-threatening)
Widow Spiders
Insects [Specific information on insects of medical importance lacking. Thought to have species
of moth with venomous/urticating hairs (Euproctis spp./Lepidoptera: Liparidae; tussock moths
reported from Russia) and larva (caterpillar) with venomous spines. Small (4-7 mm), slender
rove beetles, Paederus spp. likely occur, based on regional data; do not look like typical beetles,
but have very short wing covers that expose most of flexible abdomen; when crushed, beetle
body fluid contains contact vesicant that will blister skin and irritate eyes. Centipedes (none
known to be life-threatening), Millipedes (Do not bite and generally harmless; however, when
handled, some larger millipedes secrete noxious fluid that can cause severe blistering upon
contact with tender).
Plants: Dermatitis risks and systemic poisoning risks. SEE MEDIC CD for specifics.

(2) Contamination and Pollution

The country’s most polluted regions are also the population and industrial centers.
Water: Most of Georgia's water treatment and distribution systems remain in a state of continued
disrepair and deterioration. Although European and U.S. humanitarian aid has funded repair and
upgrading of several municipal treatment/distribution systems, supply interruptions and cross
contamination occur because of lack of treatment supplies, repair parts, and quality control
measures; recurring power outages; and leaking pipes. Major pollutants entering the country’s
water sources are sewage, oil products, nitrous ammonia, organic substances, and heavy metals.
Major contributors are metallurgy, oil refining, coal mining, chemical industries, energy
production and agricultural practices. The most polluted rivers are Mtkvari, Rioni, Kvirila,
Galidzga, Tkibuli, Enguri and the Gubistskali. In most of these rivers concentrations of phenols,
hydrocarbons, copper, manganese, zinc, and nitrogen are “higher than national and international
standards.”
Air: The most polluted air in the country is associated with the most industrialized areas of
Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Rustavi. The major single source of air pollutants is vehicle emissions resulting
from increased numbers of automobiles and poor quality fuel. Major stationary sources are oil
refineries, energy production facilities, metallurgy and chemical facilities, and construction
sectors. The country’s nine largest industrial facilities are responsible for 80 percent of the total
stationary emissions. The compounds measured are particulate matter, SOx, NOx, COx, soluble
sulfates, phenol, and formaldehyde, with levels consistently multiples of the “national maximum
permissible concentrations.”
Soil: Indiscriminate use of pesticides and fertilizers has resulted in contamination of soil in
agricultural use lands.
Radiological: Georgia is considered the fourth worst contaminated country after Belarus,
Ukraine, and Russia as a result of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion. In 1986, cesium
and strontium contamination was reported in Batumi, Gagra, Gudauta, Poti, and Sukhumi; re-
monitoring of these locations has not been conducted. Both cesium and strontium have long half-
lives and could affect food and water. Radioactive waste generated in Georgia is stored at the
Vaziani Military Airfield, located 30 km east of Tbilisi. The exact inventory of the waste
site is unknown, but it formerly was used by Russian Forces of the Transcaucasus.
Isolated sources of ionizing radiation have been reported in areas abandoned by Russian forces
following the collapse of the Former Soviet Union (e.g., October 1997, buried cesium sources at
abandoned base outside Tbilisi caused the death of one Georgian solider and seriously injured 11
more. September 1998, two sources discovered near town of Senaki in former Soviet AB).

(3) Sanitation and Waste Management: Sanitary conditions in Georgia are well below
Western standards. Urban sanitation services have worsened in Georgia as a result of the internal
strife and supply shortages that have occurred since the breakup of the Soviet Union. Urban
 sewage disposal systems are aging, poorly constructed, and inadequate to meet current needs.
Many rural dwellings/small communities still dispose of wastes directly into streams and rivers.

(4) Hazardous waste: In the past, waste sites were located near industrial sites/communal waste
areas. Very little management, control, or waste identification/monitoring were practiced.
Conditions have not improved; in fact indiscriminate dumping in large cities has increased.
Dump sites are usually open to air, near villages and other settlements and next to bodies of
water.

PREVENTIVE MEDICINE RECOMMENDATIONS:

During Deployment
• Consume food, water, and ice only from US-approved sources
• Involve preventive medicine personnel with troop camp site selection
• Practice good personal hygiene, handwashing, and waste disposal.
• Avoid sexual contact. If sexually active, use condoms.
• Use DEET and other personal protective measures (e.g., proper wear of uniform, use of bed
nets, daily “buddy checks” in tick and mite infested areas, etc.) against insects and other
arthropod-borne diseases.
• Continue malaria chemoprophylaxis, if indicated
• Minimize non-battle injuries by ensuring safety measures are followed, including hearing and
optical protection, adequate water consumption, work/rest cycles, acclimatization to
environment, and stress management. Eliminate food/waste sources that attract pests in living
areas.
• Avoid contact with animals and hazardous plants.

(4) Do the off-base eating facilities practice good standards of food preparation?

Yes: No:

Unknown.

(3) Are there any foods or drinks that should be avoided by U.S. Air Force personnel?

Yes: No: Item: Normal precautions: Surface wash fruits and

vegetables (including raw greens) with bleach
solution (1T bleach per gallon of water),
and/or peel prior to use. Cook meats well.
Use local dairy products with caution.

(4) What is the source of the local drinking water?

Groundwater

(5) Is the local water supply disinfected?

Yes: No: X

No disinfection at airfield; however, water is filtered. Water is disinfected downtown.

Water source not considered reliable. Vulnerability assessment not performed. Infrastructure
poor. Recommend bottled water (Borjomi, Gewa)

(6) Is the base located in a malaria risk country?

the entire airfield. Although there is a entry control point to the flight line/ramp area with a
physical barrier (two steel gates extend across the access road and meet in the middle of the road)
there is no physical barrier encompassing the flight line/ramp area.
3.6. Security Forces (SF): The security force element is comprised of civilian personnel
employed by the airport to perform security functions. The official terminology used for these
personnel is "Aviation Security."
3.6.1. Security Force Composition: The SF members are assigned to the director of security,
under the authority of civil aviation. There are a total of seventy SF members. The force can be
augmented indefinitely with or without advance notification, and they are capable of providing
additional manning for increased security. The SF member's are on duty for twenty four hours;
on post for nine hours and then they receive a post break for six hours, and on post for nine hours;
then each SF member receives two days off. The average pay for SF members is eighteen dollars
per month. All post are manned twenty four hours per day, seven days a week. There are no local
holidays or customs which affect security manning or posting.
3.6.2. Security Force Training: The SF members receive in house security training. There are
four individuals within the security ranks that have security experience. These members train all
other personnel on security functions.
3.6.3. Security Force Equipment: The SF contingent do not have any weapons. Per conversation
with the director of security, there are two portable radios assigned to the SF mission. The radios
are manufactured by motarola, and are multiple frequency capable. There are no telephones or
radios on any of the fixed post. There are no X-Ray machines, metal detector's, mirrors, or any
other force multiplying enhancers on or around the airfield. The SF contingents uniform consist
of basic civilian attire. These personnel cannot be distinguished from anyone within the local
community.
3.6.4. Security Force Vehicles: There are four SF vehicles used in the security mission; per
conversation with the director of security. None of the vehicles have radios or emergency lights,
or any other identifying markings. .

3.7. Patrols: The only patrols conducted are within the interior of the airfield boundary. There
are no patrols on the interior or the exterior of the perimeter or the flight line/ramp areas. Patrols
are conducted by foot, vehicle and horse. There are two, three or four personnel on the patrols.
The number of personnel varies. Patrols are not armed, and they are not conducted in a purposeful
frequency.

3.8. Military Working Dogs/K-9: There are no military working dogs assigned to the airfield.

3.9. Watch Towers/Fixed Guard Positions: There is only one watchtower and two fixed guard
positions. The watch tower is located at the main ECP to the airfield; one fixed guard position
would be considered as the main ECP, and the other fixed guard position is the ECP to the flight
line/ramp. The watch tower located at the main ECP is elevated approximately five feet. The
tower is not manned.

3.10. Quick Reaction Force (QRF)/Counter Terrorism Units (CTU): Per conversation with the
director of security; there are two units with the capabilities of a QRF and CTU located in the city
of Senaki. One unit is assigned to the local police, and the other unit is assigned under the
ministry of internal defense. The name of the unit was unknown. The local police unit is capable
of responding to the airfield within forty five minutes, and the unit assigned under the ministry of
internal defense is located in the city of Kutasi (30-45 minute drive) from the airfield.

3.11. Entry Control Points(ECP): There is only one ECP accessing the airfield, and one ECP
accessing the flight line/ramp area. The main ECP to the airfield is manned with four SF
members, twenty four hours a day. None of the ECP's are ever locked. There are no force
multipliers available such as X-Ray machines, metal detectors, or mirrors.
3.11.1. Entry Control Point Communications: There is no telephones or radios positioned on
any of the ECP's.
3.11.2. Entry Control Point Lighting: There is no ECP lighting or special purpose lighting at the
control points. .
3.11.3. Entry Control Point Signs: There are "Authorized Entry Only" signs posted at the main
ECP. The signs are written in Spanish only.
3.11.4. Circulation Control: Although there is a single badge identification circulation control
system is in place, it is not enforced. No one on or around the airfield displayed their badges. No
badges were checked upon entering or exiting the airfield.

3.12. Lighting: There were no special purpose lights on the perimeter, ECP, flight line or ramp
area.
3.12.1. Portable Lighting Unit: No portable lighting units are available.
3.12.2. Aircraft Parking (AC) Area: There is no lighting for the aircraft parking area.
3.12.3. Perimeter Lighting: There is no lighting on the interior or the exterior of the perimeter.

3.13. Close Circuit Television(CCTV): There is no CCTV.

3.14. Alarm System: There is no alarm system.

3.15. Control/Dispatch Center: There is no control or dispatch center.

3.16. Aircraft Parking: There is only one designated aircraft parking area for large frame aircraft.
US aircraft do not currently transit this airfield. Additional guards are not posted but can be
requested with advance notice (SF members are not armed and do not have communications
capabilities). The area is not marked as a restricted area and no signs are posted. US personnel
may be armed with proper coordination (written request from AmEmbassy, to the Minister of
Transportation). All request should include pertinent data such as individuals name, passport
number, purpose for arming, type of weapon, serial number, address while in Tiblisi, length of
stay, and any other data which could be pertinent to the mission. There are weapons storage
facilities available; however, they do not meet US resource protection standards and the airfield
will not be responsible for their security.

4. Billeting: The AmEmbassy or the US Mil Group does not provide billeting at this location,
and they do not maintain a list of recommended facilities. US military personnel do not regularly
transit this location.

5. Route Security: There is no route.

6. Personnel Threat: There are no known personnel threats at this location.

7. Physical Location: The airfield is situated outside the city of Senaki; surrounded by farmland
on all sides. There is only one paved road accessing the airfield but there are a multitude of paths
around the airfield which local populace use to transit the property.

8. Additional Planning Considerations: Many roads and bridges that were damaged during the
1997-1998 El Nino weather phenomenon remain unrepaired, causing delays and detours. Bus
travel throughout Ecuador is dangerous, especially at night, because of poorly maintained and
unmarked roads and bridges. Bus passengers are often targets of crime, including robbery and
rape. The following is a brief synopsis of the traffic safety condition of the region: Safety of
Public Transportation is poor; Urban Road Condition/Maintenance is poor; Rural Road
Conditions/Maintenance is poor, and Availability of Roadside Assistance is poor.

9. Question concerning the contents of this survey can be directed to MSgt King at (609) 754-
5824 or 5754; DSN: 640-XXXX.

AIRFIELD PAVEMENT SUMMARY
10 FEB 2001

SUMMARY

1. An airfield pavement evaluation was conducted 10 February, 2001 at Senaki Airfield,

Republic of Georgia in conjunction with a Tanker Airlift Control Element (TALCE)
airfield survey. The purpose of this evaluation was to determine the strength of the
airfield pavements for upcoming military exercises. The airfield includes one
runway, one apron, and five taxiways. Host nation airport officials are not
knowledgeable of the pavement strength and little information was available during
the site visit. Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests were performed on the
existing subgrade to establish its strength. The data collected from these tests was
used to calculate a new PCN based on the USAF standard.

2. The reported PCN for the airfield is as follows:

Feature PCN* # Allowable Passes

C-17 C-5 C-141 C-130 B-757
All Surfaces 22/R/C/W/T 58 64 82 624 365
* Based on the AF standard of 50,000 passes of a C-17, weighing 580,000 lbs

The last four columns on the right of this table represent the maximum number of
allowable passes for each aircraft before 100% of the pavement design life is used.

3. Airfield constructed entirely of prefabricated concrete slabs and is in fair condition

overall. Joint seal is almost nonexistent throughout and substantial weed growth is
predominant in all joints. Settlement does not appear to be a problem.

ANALYSIS

4. Airport officials were not able to provide detailed engineering drawings of the
airfield; however, they reported that the airfield was constructed with 14 cm
prefabricated concrete over a thin 10 cm layer of leveling sand over 10 cm
prefabricated concrete. This was verified when drilling the access holes for the DCP
tests. DCP tests revealed that under the concrete was roughly 20 cm of compacted fill
which lay upon the subgrade. This profile seemed to be consistent throughout the
airfield. Tests revealed that the compacted fill had a K value of 250, while the
subgrade was rated with a K value of 111. These numbers were used to calculate the
new PCN.
5. The Airfield Pavement Evaluations (APE) program does not have the capacity to
model the thin sand layer between the two layers of concrete. Several test models
were run and conversations with AFCESA and HQ AMC/CE resulted in a model that
simply eliminated the sand layer from all calculations. Therefore, this airfield was
modeled with the following profile:
5.5” PCC (4,000,000 modulus, psi @ 600 psi flexural strength)
4.5” Stabalized Base (3,000,000 modulus, psi)
8.0” Base Course (250 k-value)
Subgrade (111 k-value)
