ADVANCED WEAPONS COURSE 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 AWC areas will be not active. All aircraft not concerned with ADVANCED WEAPON COURSE exercise want to fly through exercise areas shall contact "Live Fly Cell" on phone number +669 1861 7787 or "OSCAR Control" on phone number +668 4152 2928 for approval before submitting flight plan.

8  AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT DURING ADVANCED WEAPONS COURSE PERIOD

8  In response to the capacity constraint caused by the Military Air Exercise "ADVANCED WEAPONS COURSE" the following ATFM measures will be implemented Level Capping

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

8.1.1   - FL320 or below

8.1.2  International flights overflying Bangkok FIR

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

8.2  Temporary Flight Level orientation scheme

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

8.2.1   - 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

8.2.2   - Even FL Other airways joining W9.

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

8.3  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.
