Notes:
This guide is a reference for aviation assets within South
Carolina Emergency operations. Reference the South Carolina
Aviation Coordination Plan for complete information on flying
operations within the state. Any NOTAMS and Special Instructions (SPINS) will update and supersede all information in this
publication. Daily SPINS and other references are located at
www.scemd.org/airbranch. We ask that each agency utilizes
the SC-AOB scheduling software located at
https://www.scwebeoc.sc.gov/eoc7/. For login information

Geo-Reference System
Airspace Control Area: Disaster relief operations will occur in the Airspace Control Area
(ACA). The ACA encompasses the landmass expected to be impacted by the disaster and
the airspace from the surface, generally up to but not including 6,000’ AGL. Specific lat/
longs of the ACA boundaries will be published in the Daily SPINS.
Position (Point & Area) Reference Procedures: This plan is based upon the use of latitude/longitude expressed in degrees, minutes, and decimal minutes (example:
N3450.4280/W09550.0760). For purposes of this plan, World Geodetic System 1984
(WGS 84) and North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83) are considered equivalent. SAR
Grids will be defined using Global Area Reference System (GARS).
Be cautious in reading coordinates – some users define points using degree, minutes and
seconds. Although the error is usually small, it can mean the difference in a crisis response.
Pay attention and ask the question if you are unsure of the data you are receiving.
NOTE: Ground units may pass information using Military Grid Reference
System (MGRS) or National Geodetic
Reference System coordinates. This
data will need to be converted into
latitude/longitude for use by aviation
assets. Reference: CJCSI 3900.01C, 30

Plan

Aviation Coordination Area Example
(ACA)
For deconfliction all aircraft will monitor, transmit position, and coordinate on the
following frequencies when operating in ACA and TFR’s:
Fixed Wing: 122.75
Rotary Wing: 123.025

TFR Deconfliction
Contingency Airspace Management—Mission Type Altitude Stratification within TFR’s
(NOT FOR EXECUTION—INTENDED FOR HARMONIZED PLANNING)
6
SAR Deconfliction within a TFR
Example of SAR Deconfliction within Disaster TFR
Additional deconfliction tools can be used within this TFR, including implementation
of VFR ingress/egress routes; airborne platform for communications and flight
advisory support and designated air-air frequencies

Generic Airfield Entry / Exit Overlay
All traffic is required to report rwy departing sector letter, and altitude; all departures
will report sector letter, altitude, and pattern entry no later than entering the 10nm
ring. Aircraft will also report when entering the 5nm ring.
Departure Example: “CAP 22 departing rwy 32 transition sector alpha at 1500 ft”.
Arrival Example: “CAP 11 entering sector Charlie at 2500 ft for left downwind rwy
18”.
“CAP 11 entering 5nm for left downwind rwy 18”.

South Carolina is divided into four major conglomerates. The South Carolina Air
Operations Branch has identified three to four airfields in each conglomerate
that will be capable of handling most aircraft involved in air missions during a
disaster. These airfields have been broken down by conglomerate and in priority
order. This guide is to be used as a quick reference only, for the most up to date
information please reference current FAA publications or visit the websites
provided on the bottom of each page.
