Northwest Practice Area

The ILS 12L at VGT has caused
concern for safety of operations
among the flight schools in Las
Vegas as well as operation by
individual pilots flying into the
Northwest area between the military
restricted areas east of Highway 95
and Mount Charleston mountain
ranges.  The following information is
presented to all those who fly in this
area as an information to enhance
safety:

1. There will be three areas of
operation: Alpha, Bravo and Charlie.

2. Alpha will be the most critical of the
three areas as the ILS 12L into VGT
will be conducted above this area. All
flight training / practice area
operations are to be conducted
below 4500 feet. This will allow ILS
operations above 5000 feet. All
instructors and flying personnel
should maintain a visual vigilance for
surrounding aircraft, both training
area and ILS.

3. Bravo and Charlie will have no
restriction on the altitude other than
maintaining visual awareness as
these areas are below a Military Alert
Area.

4. All aircraft who are not
communicating with Nellis Control,
should be on 122.75 and announcing
in the blind - altitude and location
(over the houses, over Kyle Canyon
Road, over the retention basin, etc.).
Additionally the transmission should
include the Area – Alpha, Bravo or
Charlie. It is the intent that using the
area will help with providing a
immediate awareness of the location
the aircraft is operating within.
