This section supplements the following portion(s) of the AIP: AD
With effect from 20 July 2017 in order to facilitate the air traffic flow procedure of departing and arriving aircraft within Bangkok TMA, speed control procedures and altitude restricted must be applied to optimize the spacing between aircraft and reduce the overall delay of traffic.
Speed control shall be in force at all times unless otherwise instructed. Pilots will be individually advised by ATC when speed control is cancelled.
All departing and arriving aircraft are to apply speed of not more than IAS 250 knots when flying at or below altitude of 10 000 feet.
Departing aircraft shall comply with speed control restrictions as published in the RNAV SIDs Procedures unless otherwise advised by ATC.
Arriving aircraft shall comply with speed control restrictions as published on the RNAV STARs Charts and Instrument Approach Procedures unless otherwise advised by ATC.
En route and terminal holding speed shall be in accordance with ICAO standard holding speeds requirement. Pilots shall resume speed control procedures when leaving the holding fix.
ATC may issue further speed adjustment instructions during various flight phases or/and when required by traffic situation.
All speed restrictions are to be flown as accurately as possible. If unable to conform to these procedures, pilots should immediately inform ATC and state the speed to be used so that an alternative action can be taken.
When a departing aircraft on a SID is cleared to climb to a level higher than the initially cleared level or the level(s) specified in the SID, the aircraft shall nevertheless follow the published vertical profile, unless such restrictions are explicitly cancelled by ATC.
Departing aircraft intending to cruise below the transition level shall follow an appropriate SID track and comply with individual ATC climb instructions.
When an arriving aircraft on a STAR is cleared to descend to a level lower than the level or the level(s) specified in the STAR, the aircraft shall nevertheless follow the published vertical, unless such restrictions are explicitly cancelled by ATC. Published minimum levels based on terrain clearance shall always be strictly applied.
To facilitate safe traffic integration and provide vertical separation between converging traffic in Bangkok TMA, pilots shall plan their descent profile in accordance with the published STAR procedures or their descent profile against distance to touchdown.
All altitude restrictions are to be flown as accurately as possible. If unable to conform to these restrictions, pilots should immediately inform ATC so that an alternative action can be taken.
