This Air Force Manual (AFMAN) implements Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD) 13-2, Air
Traffic Control, Airfield, Airspace and Range Management. It applies to all Regular Air Force
(RegAF) and including US Space Force until further notice, Air National Guard (ANG), and Air
Force Reserve (AFR) organizations (to include contracted locations) who operate or administer
functions and facilities for Airfield Management (AM). At joint, shared-use, and overseas
airfields, this manual applies to the facilities controlled and used exclusively by the Department
of the Air Force, as outlined in international agreements, real estate documents or other written
agreements. This manual outlines key duties and responsibilities of AM personnel. This manual
also provides detailed guidance, procedures and programs for managing AM where the Air Force
has functional oversight responsibility. This manual may be supplemented at any level;
however, all Major Command (MAJCOM) supplements to include interim changes to previously
approved supplements must be routed to Air Force Flight Standards Agency, Director of Airfield
Operations (AFFSA/XA) for coordination prior to certification and approval. References to
MAJCOM within this publication refer to the MAJCOM Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR)
for Airfield Operations. Unit (wing or base) level supplements to this publication must be routed
to the responsible MAJCOM OPR for Airfield Operations for coordination prior to certification
and approval. The authorities to waive wing/unit level requirements in this publication are
identified with a Tier (“T-0, T-1, T-2, T-3”) number following the compliance statement. See
Air Force Instruction (AFI) 33-360, Publications and Forms Management, for a description of
the authorities associated with the Tier numbers. Submit requests for waivers through the chain
of command to the appropriate Tier waiver approval authority, or alternately, to the publication
OPR for non-tiered compliance items or requirements. Refer to Chapter 1 for additional waiver
