COPE TIGER 2023 aircraft experiencing an emergency and unable to contact their appropriate control agencies will contact OSCAR
on Frequency 331.3 MHz, 127.0 MHz or guard Frequency 243.0 MHz and 121.5 MHz.

During exercise period all VTD areas those are overlapped by COPE TIGER 2023 areas will be not active. All aircraft not concerned
with COPE TIGER 2023 exercise want to fly through exercise areas shall contact “Live Fly Cell” on phone number +666 4594 6455 or
“OSCAR Control” on phone number +668 4152 2928 for approval before submitting flight plan.

10  AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT DURING COPE TIGER 2023 PERIOD

10  In response to the capacity constraint caused by the Joint Military Air Exercise “COPE TIGER 2023" the following ATFM measures will be
implemented:

10.1  Level Capping

10.1  Flights operating within Bangkok FIR during exercise period are requested to file flight plan with appropriate Flight Levels as follows:

10.1.1  Domestic flights

- FL320 or below

10.1.2  International flights overflying Bangkok FIR

- Between FL320 - FL460 Other restrictions and adjustments will be technically managed by ATC.

10.2  Temporary Flight Level orientation scheme

10.2  Flights operating on the following routes are requested to use the following flight level orientation scheme:

10.2.1  Northbound flight from VTBD/VTBS/BKK via A464 (Portion BKK-CMA), Y6 – Odd FL

and flight depart from VTPI, VTBL, VTBH, VTPP via W9.

10.2.2  Southbound flight to VTBD/VTBS/BKK via Y7 or W9 or – Even FL

other airways joining W9.

10.3  Ground Delay Program (GDP) through the provision of Calculated Take-Off Time (CTOT)

10.3  GDP will be implemented by Bangkok Air Traffic Flow Management Unit (Bangkok 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 distribute 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 Users Manual.
