4.3  Aircraft are entering to land from East and South east of Khok Kathiam Aerodrome, shall be reported over amphure Phra Phutthabat designated as PAPA point (144305N 1004720E) which is approximately 11.8 NM on BRG 142 of LB NDB altitude 2000 FT. (1000 FT. for Helicopter) then proceeding to Lopburi province designated as LIMA point (144758N 1003800E) which is approximately 4.8 NM on BRG 200 of LB NDB altitude 2000 FT. (1000 FT. for Helicopter) when reaching LIMA point the aircraft will be instructed to join aerodrome traffic circuit accordingly.
4.4  Aircraft are entering to land from south of Khok Kathiam Aerodrome shall be reported over Lopburi province designated as LIMA point (144758N 1003800E) which is approximately 4.8 NM on BRG 200 of LB NDB altitude 2000 FT. (1000 FT. for Helicopter) when reaching LIMA point the aircraft will be instructed to join aerodrome traffic circuit accordingly.
5.  Aerodrome Traffic Pattern

Traffic pattern shown in diagram, The unlighted a range of mountains approximately 919 FT., 0.5 - 1.9 NM and 2.5 - 4.4 NM on the west to NNW and 1,418 FT., 1.2 - 5.3 NM on the north to SSE from the runway intersection of Khok Kathiam Aerodrome constitutes a hazard to VFR operation.

5.1 Rectangular
