1. VFR REPORTING POINTS AND LOCAL PROCEDURES
1.1 Reporting points for VFR flight In order to expedite and maintain an orderly flow of air traffic into Surat Thani Airport, the procedures of the inbound traffic of VFR flight, conventional and prop-jet aircraft be set up as follow:
  1. Aircraft entering to land from north of Surat Thani Airport, shall report over Chai Ya District, designated as CHARLIE point (0923.0N 9912.5E) which is approximately 15 NM on bearing 010º from SR NDB. When reaching CHARLIE the aircraft will be instructed to join aerodrome traffic pattern accordingly.

  2. Aircraft entering to land from east of Surat Thani Airport, shall report over Surat Thani District, designated as SIERRA point (0908.0N 9920.0E) which is approximately 12 NM on bearing 090º from SR NDB. When reaching SIERRA the aircraft will be instructed to join aerodrome traffic pattern accordingly.

  3. Aircraft entering to land from south of Surat Thani Airport, shall report over Ban Nasan District, designated as NOVEMBER point (0848.0N 9922.0E) which is approximately 25 NM on bearing 145º from SR NDB. When reaching NOVEMBER the aircraft will be instructed to join aerodrome traffic pattern accordingly.

  4. Aircraft entering to land from west of Surat Thani Airport, shall report over Khirirat Nikhom District, designated as KILO point (0902.0N 09858.0E) which is approximately 14 NM on bearing 240º from SR NDB. When reaching KILO the aircraft will be instructed to join aerodrome traffic pattern accordingly.

1.2 Aerodrome traffic circuit

Using both sides of traffic circuit

1.3 Overhead approach pattern
  1. Using runway 04 by left turn pattern

  2. Using runway 22 by right turn pattern

VTSB  AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

NIL

VTSB  AD 2.22  FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1.  SPEED CONTROL PROCEDURE IN SURAT THANI TMA
  1. All arriving turbo-propeller and turbo-jet aircraft when flying below 10000 FT AMSL are subject to fly not faster than indicated air speed 250 knots unless authorized by ATC.

  2. Speed will be reduced to 220 knots during 20-25 track miles from touchdown.

  3. 180 knots at Intermediate fix (Including aircraft from RNAV STAR), or shortly before closing heading to intercept or to establish the final course,

  4. 150 to 160 knots at FAP or FAF; all speed to be flown as accurately as possible. At the other times, speed control may be applied on a tactical basis to extent determined by ATC.

  5. Pilots who unable to comply with the speed limits specifics above for reasons of flight safety and/or weather conditions should inform ATC and state the speed acceptable.

  6. ATC will notify that the aircraft may keep its preferred speed without restriction and will use the phrase “NO SPEED RESTRICTIONS”. An instruction to notify that the aircraft need no longer comply with the previous issued speed restriction, the phrase “RESUME NORMAL SPEED” will be used.

  7. All aircraft navigating under conditions of RNAV STARs shall conform to speed limitation as published then at IF pilot shall comply with speed control procedures unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

  8. If the pilots do not comply, the flight shall follow ATC instruction for re-sequencing.

NOTE - an instruction to “RESUME NORMAL SPEED” does not cancel speed restrictions that applicable to published procedure of upcoming segments of flight, aircraft shall comply speed restrictions specified in a) b) c) and d)

2.  IFR DEPARTURES OTHER THAN VIA SID

IFR departure procedures described below are determined for the purpose of case when an instrument departure via SID is impossible or undesirable.

3.  VISUAL DEPARTURES

Visual departures during take-off and initial climb-out are permitted during the daytime and Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC). ATC clearance to execute a visual departure may be issued upon request of the pilot or upon initiative of the ATC and accepted
by the pilot.

To execute a visual departure

- meteorological conditions in the direction of take-off and the following climb-out shall enable visual reference to terrain up to Minimum Sector Altitude (MSA) or Minimum Flight Altitude (MFA) stated in ATC clearance,
- the pilot shall be responsible for obstacle clearance until such specified altitude,
- the pilot prior to take-off shall agree to execute this procedure,
- the ATC clearance shall be readback,

4.  OMNIDIRECTIONAL DEPARTURES

Omnidirectional departures during take-off and initial climb-out are permitted during the day and night. ATC clearance to execute
an omnidirectional departure may be issued upon request of the pilot or upon initiative of the ATC and accepted by the pilot.

To execute an omnidirectional departure:

- the pilot shall be maintaining a minimum climb gradient up to specific altitude as published shown as below,
- the pilot shall be responsible for adherence to such obtained ATC clearance,
- the pilot prior to take-off shall agree to execute this procedure,
- The ATC clearance shall be readback,

- Runway 04:
