1.  VFR REPORTING POINTS AND LOCAL PROCEDURES

Reporting points for VFR flight in order to expedite and maintain an orderly flow of air traffic into Sakon Nakhon Airport, the procedures of inbound traffic for VFR flight, conventional and prop - jet aircraft be set up as follows:

  1. Aircraft entering to land from north of Sakon Nakhon Airport, shall report over Nong Wai reservoir designated as November Whisky (172205.2N 1040316E) which is approximately 10 NM on radial 334 of SKN DVOR/DME (171250.89N1040812.34E), when reaching NW the aircraft will be instructed to join aerodrome traffic circuit accordingly.

  2. Aircraft entering to land from east of Sakon Nakhon Airport, shall report over Hoai Wung reservoir designated as Hotel Whisky (171805.2N 1043056.2E) which is approximately 22.5 NM on radial 077 of SKN DVOR/DME (171250.89N1040812.34E) when reaching HW the aircraft will be instructed to join aerodrome traffic circuit accordingly.

  3. Aircraft entering to land from south of Sakon Nakhon Airport, shall report over Nam Phung Dam designated as November Papa (170245.3N 1041216.3E), which is approximately 11 NM on radial 158 of SKN DVOR/DME (171250.89N1040812.34E), when reaching NP the aircraft will be instructed to join aerodrome traffic circuit accordingly.

  4. Aircraft entering to land from south of Sakon Nakhon Airport, shall report over Ban Na reservoir, designated as November Kilo (164625.4N 1040201.5E) which is approximately 27 NM on radial 192 of SKN DVOR/DME (171250.89N1040812.34E), when reaching NK the aircraft will be instructed to join aerodrome traffic circuit accordingly.

  5. Aircraft entering to land from west of Sakon Nakhon Airport, shall report over Nam Un reservoir, designated as November Uniform (171005.2N 1034646.5E) which is approximately 20.5 NM on radial 262 of SKN DVOR/DME (171250.89N1040812.34E), when reaching NU the aircraft will be instructed to join aerodrome traffic circuit accordingly.

2.  180 DEGREES TURN ON THE RUNWAY

To prevent runway pavement damage which may result in the closure of the aerodrome if such damage is severe, all aircraft Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) more than 5700 KG are not allowed to make 180 degrees turn on the runway. The turn shall be made on the runway turn pad at the end of runway 05 and 23 only. Any breach done by the aircraft operator shall be recorded and reported to The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT)/ The Headquarter of that operator shall be liable for the compensation caused by such violation.
