VTPH  AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

NIL

VTPH  AD 2.22  FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1.  Provision for Radar Service
1.1 GENERAL PROCEDURES FOR RADAR SERVICES

As specified by ICAO Doc444 Part VI

1.2 RADAR SERVICES PROVIDED TO IFR FLIGHTS

Within Hua Hin TMA (Class D Airspace)

Radar service, as appropriate, to all IFR flight under approach control according to the provision specified by ICAO 4444 Part VI.

1.3 RADAR SERVICE PROVIDED TO VFR FLIGHTS
1.3.1 General

Hua Hin Radar approach will provide radar assistance and navigation service (vectors) to VFR aircraft Provided the aircraft can communicate with the facility, are within radar coverage, and can be radar identified.

Pilots should clearly understand that authorization to proceed in accordance with such radar navigational assistance does not constitute authorization for the pilot to violate the requirement for operation under VFR. In effect, assistance provided is on the basis that navigation guidance information issued is advisory in nature.

In many cases, controllers will be unable to determine if flight into instrument conditions will result from their instructions. To avoid possible hazards resulting from being vectored into IFR conditions, pilot should keep controllers advised of the weather conditions in which they are operation and along the course ahead.

Radar sequencing and separation Service for VFR aircraft within Hua Hin Terminal Control Area. This service has been established as special program for all participating aircraft. The purpose of this service is to provide separation between all participating VFR aircraft and all IFR aircraft operating within Hua Hin Terminal Radar Service Area. Pilot participation is urged but is not mandatory.

1.3.2 Arriving aircraft

Pilots of arriving aircraft should contact approach control on the publicized frequency and give their position, altitude, call sign, type aircraft, radar beacon code (if transponder equipped), destination, and request traffic information.

Vectoring service may be provided when requested by the pilot or with pilot concurrence when suggested by ATC.

Approach control will issue runway, wind, and altimeter setting. Traffic information is provided on a workload permitting basis. Approach control will specify the time or place at which the pilot is to contact the tower on local control frequency for further landing information. Radar service is automatically terminated upon being advised to contact the tower.

Sequencing for VFR aircraft is available. The purpose of the service is to adjust the flow of arriving VFR and IFR aircraft into the traffic pattern in a safe and orderly manner and to provide radar traffic information to departing VFR aircraft. Pilot participation is urged but is not mandatory.

Traffic information is provided on a workload permitted basis. Standard radar separation between VFR or between VFR and IFR aircraft is no provided.

  1. Pilots of arriving VFR aircraft should initiate radio contact on the publicized frequency with approach control when approximately 35 miles from the airport or before leaving the flying training areas. (VTD20) at which sequencing services are being provided. On initial contact by VFR aircraft, approach control will assume that sequencing service is requested. After radar contact is established, the pilot may use pilot navigation to enter the traffic pattern or, depending on traffic conditions, approach control may provide the pilot with routings or vectors necessary for proper sequencing with other participating VFR and IFR traffic enroute to the airport. When a flight is positioned behind a preceding aircraft and the pilot report having that aircraft insight, the pilot will be instructed to follow the preceding aircraft. THE ATC INSTRUCTION TO FOLLOW THE PRECEDING AIRCRAFT DOES NOT AUTHORIZE THE PILOT TO FOLLOW THE PILOT TO COMLY WITH ANY ATC CLEARANCE OR INSTRUCTION ISSUED TO THE PRECEDING AIRCRAFT. If other” nonparticipation” or “ local” aircraft are in the traffic pattern, the tower will issue a landing sequence.

  2. Pilots of aircraft transiting the area and in radar contact/communication with approach control will receive traffic information on a controller workload permitting basis. Pilot of such aircraft should give their position, altitude, aircraft call sign, aircraft type, radar beacon code (if transponder equipped), destination, and,/or route of flight.

    While operating within Hua Hin Terminal Radar Service Area, pilots are provided radar service and separation as prescribed in this paragraph. In the event of a radar outage, separation and sequencing of VFR aircraft will be suspended as this service dependent on radar. The pilot will be advised that the service is not available and issued runway, wind, and altimeter setting, and the time or place to contact the tower traffic information will be provided on a workload permitting basis. If any aircraft does not want the service, the pilot should state “NEGATIVE RADAR SERVICE” or make a similar comment, on initial contact with approach control or ground control, as appropriate.

    Within the Hua Hin Terminal Radar service area, traffic information on observed but unidentified targets will, to the extent possible, be provided to all IFR and participating VFR aircraft, The pilot will be vectored upon request to avoid the observed traffic, provided the aircraft to be vectored is within the airspace under the jurisdiction of the controller.

1.3.3 Departing aircraft

Pilots of departing VFR aircraft are encouraged to request radar traffic information by notifying ground control on initial contact with their request and proposed direction of flight.

Example:

Hua Hin ground, Hotel Tango Charlie, Cessna One Seventy Two, ready to taxi, VFR southbound Area 2 at 2,500 request radar traffic information.

Departing VFR aircraft may be asked if they can visually follow a preceding departure out of the Hua Hin Terminal Radar Service Area. The pilot will be instructed to follow the other aircraft provided that the pilot can maintain visual contact with that aircraft.

Departing aircraft should inform ATC of their intended destination and / or route of flight and proposed cruising altitude.

ATC will normally advise participating VFR aircraft when leaving the geographical limits of the Hua Hin Terminal Radar Service Area. Radar service is not automatically terminated with this advisory unless specifically stated by the controller.

Separation

VFR aircraft will be separated from VFR/IFR aircraft by one of the following

  1. Minimum 500 FT vertical separation.

  2. Visual separation

  3. Target resolution (a process to ensure that correlated radar targets do not touch).

Participating pilots operating VFR in a Hua Hin Terminal radar Service Area:

Must maintain an altitude when assigned by ATC unless the altitude assignment is to maintain at/or below a specified altitude ATC may assign altitudes for separation that do not conform to the table for VFR cruising altitude. When the altitude assignment is no longer needed for separation or when leaving the Hua Hin Terminal Radar Service Area, the instruction will be broadcast, “RESUME APPROPRIATE VFR ALTITUDES.” Pilots must then return to an altitude that conforms to the table of VFR cruising altitude as soon as practicable.

When not assigned an altitude, the pilot should coordinate with ATC prior to any altitude change.
