Preferential use of Runway
APU Restrictions
Reverse Thrust Use
RWY35 for take-off and RWY17 for landing are preferentially to be used. However, in order to achieve maximum flight safety, this procedure is not applied under the following circumstances.
The use of other runway is necessary in consideration of safety of the aircraft operation.
The condition of the specified runway is not suitable for landing or take-off.
The tail wind component, including gusts, exceeds 5 KT.
The cross wind component, including gusts, exceeds 15 KT.
When the possibility exists that orderly flow of traffic may be impeded.
For noise abatement purposes, pilots are encouraged to limit Auxiliary Power Units (APU) use to the minimum time necessary. The maximum recommended APU run-time is (30) minutes.
The use of reverse thrust may negatively impact the residential community surrounding the Samui Airport, particularly during night hours. The use of minimum reverse thrust necessary for safety is recommended consistent with runway conditions and available length.
Under the Environmental Protection (Aircraft Noise) Regulations, international and domestic aircraft operating to/from Samui Airport are required to be certified as compliant with the relevant ICAO Annex 16 Volume I, Aircraft Noise.
Subsonic jets must be certified as Chapter 3 or Chapter 4.
Aircraft with Chapter 2 noise certification are not permitted to operate.
The operations to flights which will be operated by subsonic jet aircraft that meet the Chapter 3 standards by a cumulative margin of not more than 5 EPNdB (Marginally Compliant Chapter 3 (MCC3) Aircraft) will be prohibited for take-off and landing at Samui Airport between 1100 UTC and 2359 UTC.
MCC3 aircraft operated for emergency, medical and humanitarian purposes are exempted from the above restriction.
Note: 1. There is limited benefit if CDO clearance is received at altitude lower than 10,000 FT.
Note: 2. In case of CDO procedure being impractical due to an emergency, weather condition, traffic situation or any other reasons, an alternate instruction will be issued by ATC, or requested by pilot.
CDO procedure is applicable for FMS capable aircraft
CDO procedure is in place for all aircraft on W32 inbound from Bangkok to Samui Airport
CDO is available 24 hours
CDO procedure is available for RWY17
When traffic permits, aircraft will operate at an optimum speed calculated by FMS, depending on aircraft type. The following speed guidance should be applicable in case of high traffic volume.
| Flight Status | Speed Range |
|---|---|
| Above 10 000 FT | 250 - 320 IAS |
| Below 10 000 FT | 220 - 250 IAS |
| Final Segment (up to 4 NM) | 160 - 180 IAS |
Aircraft Arriving on W32
After passing, 30 NM from SMU DVOR, altitude not lower than 6,000 FT., then proceed to PENFO and follow the RNAV (GNSS) RWY17 CAT A, B procedure as published in AIP Thailand, or
The pilot may request permission to fly directly to (IF); however, this would be an ATC’s jurisdiction whether the request can be approved, depending on traffic conditions. In this case, the pilot shall fly directly to (IF) altitude 3,200 FT., and cross 30 NM from SMU DVOR, altitude not lower than 4,000 FT., following the RNAV (GNSS) RWY17 CAT A, B procedure as published in AIP Thailand.
