Conditions under which AF installations may be used.

Air Force installations are established to support the operation of aircraft of the USAF AF facilities, personnel, and material are maintained only to the extent required for use by the AF. However, nothing in this part will be interpreted to prohibit any aircraft from landing at any AF installation in case of emergency.

(a) Aircraft other than those belonging to the U.S. Government may use AF installations, if necessary, provided that:

(1) They do not interfere with military requirements, and the security of AF operations, facilities, or equipment is not compromised.

(3) Pilots comply with regulations promulgated by Hq USAF and the commander of the installation.

(4) Civil aircraft users assume the risk in accordance with the provisions of F Form 180.
