Posted on Mar 30 2005

The U.S. Navy has added more days to its scheduled bombing exercises on Farallon de Mendinila in April, the Emergency Management Office said.

Bombing exercises on FDM would run from 11:30am to 4:30pm on April 4 and from 9am to 12pm on April 5, the EMO said. The military will also conduct “aerial maneuvers” on FDM from 8am to 11am on April 6 and 8.

Earlier, the EMO said the Navy plans to conduct bombing exercises on April 12, 18, and 26 from 7am to 2pm.

The EMO warned fishermen, commercial pilots and tour operators to stay away from the military training area when bombing exercises are taking place.

The EMO described the location of the FDM training area as R7201, “from 15,000 feet mean sea level on a 10-nautical mile radius on all quadrants.”
