Findings
Airspace restrictions at Maxwell AFB require increased coordination
and shared airspace control with Montgomery Regional Airport, which
impacts the ability to provide fully effective training for air traffic
controllers, resulting in an increase in simulated training and a
decrease in real world experience.
Operational limitations on Runway 33 due to airspace conflicts with
Montgomery Regional Airport have created airfield limitations,
potentially impacting airfield utilization by military and transient
aircraft.
Currently, the LOAs design a process for sharing the airspace around
MGM and Maxwell AFB with the current operations of both airports.
If either airport increases in operations or services, then the airspace
utilization could become more constrained.
