7.2 If unable to contact BACC an aircraft should contact OSCAR Control on Freq 127.0 MHz or any other GCI facilities. COBRA GOLD 2023 aircraft experiencing an emergency and unable to contact their appropriate control agencies shall contact OSCAR Control or any other GCI facility on Freq 331.3 MHz, 127.0 MHz or guard Freq 243.0 MHz and 121.5 MHz. During exercise period all VTD area those are overlapped by COBRA GOLD 2023 areas will be not active. aircraft not concerned with COBRA GOLD 2023 exercise wish to fly through the areas should be contact "Live Fly Cell" on phone number +669 2081 0616, +668 1866 6522 or "OSCAR Control" on phone number +662 534 4731 to get the permission before file flight plan.
8 In response to the capacity constraint caused by the Joint Military Air Exercise "COBRA GOLD 2023" the following ATFM measures will be implemented:
8.1 Flights operating within Bangkok FIR during exercise period are requested to file flight plan with appropriate Flight Levels as follows:
8.1.1 Domestic flights – FL320 or below
8.1.2 International flights overflying Bangkok FIR – Between FL320 - FL460
Other restrictions and adjustments will be technically managed by ATC.
8.2 Flights operating on the following routes are requested to use the following flight level orientation scheme:
8.2.1 Northbound flight from VTBD/VTBS/BKK via A464 (Portion BKK-CMA), Y6 – Odd FL
and flight depart from VTPI, VTBL, VTBH, VTPP via W9.
8.2.2 Southbound flight to VTBD/VTBS/BKK via Y7 or W9 or – Even FL
other airways joining W9.
8.3 GDP will be implemented by Bangkok Air Traffic Flow Management Unit (BKK ATFMU) to balance the demand and capacity over congested area. CTOT will be issued to the flights using airways W1, W9, Y7, and Y13 to land at VTBD, VTBS and VTBU.
Specific timing of GDP periods each day will be published in the ATFM Daily Plan (ADP), which will be distributed via e-mail to all stakeholders that provided their e-mail to Bangkok ATFMU one day before operations.
When GDP is active, ATS units and aircraft operators are requested to adhere to the procedure published in the AIP Thailand ENR 1.9 and Bangkok ATFMU User's Manual.
