Procedures issued by CJCMOTF (Coalision joint civil military operations task force), only 3 airfields mentioned - Bagram airbase, Mazar-I-Sharif and Faisabad (data as two weeks ago). Only Bagram is listed as "controlled by USAF". All others are uncontrolled.
No fuel available at Bagram. No ATC over Afghnistan, only partial info supplied by "BOSSMAN" on 126.325 (believed to be USAF AWACS). TCAS is very helpfull. Everything is on captain discretion, nobody responsible. Aircraft on approach and departure at Bagram is highly recommended to execute military-style spin-descent/spin-climb to avoid possible ground-to-air missiles.
Any specific info needed - ask the question. We already operated a flight to Bagram.
