VTSP AD 2.20 LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS
1. SURFACE MOVEMENT PROCEDURE
The supplementary of surface movement procedures has been established at Phuket International Airport as follows:
Area of apron D and Almost of the area between apron A to apron C is the blind spot area, when ATC instruction is issued, aircraft are to manoeuvre by pilot discretion.
Special manoeuvring procedure at Phuket Aerodrome on TWY P, When visibility below 3,000 M., due to minimum distance between RWY centre line is 150 M. aircraft code letter C, D and E that taxiing on TWY P shall be instructed to hold, under the following conditions :
Before departing aircraft code C,D, and E enters the runway for take-off or
Before arriving aircraft code C, D and E crossing 4 NM final for landing.
Taxiing on TWY P in connection with TWY E due to the minimum separation distance between TWY centre line and objects is 39.5 M wide body aircraft to taxi with extreme caution.
2. USE OF RUNWAY
To achieve the highest possible rate/hour for departure and arrival at Phuket International Airport, the runway occupancy times shall be reduced to a minimum. Therefore, the follow procedures are introduced;
Commensurate with safety and standard operating procedure, when in receipt of a line up clearance, pilots should ensure that they are able to taxi into the correct hold and line up position on the runway as soon as the preceding aircraft has commenced its take-off roll.
Cockpit checks should be completed before line up, any further checks requiring completion whilst on the runway shall be kept to a minimum. Pilots should ensure that they are able to commence the take-off roll immediately after a take-off clearance is issued.
Pilots unable to comply with these procedures shall inform ATC prior to passing the runway holding position.
Pilots are reminded that runway occupancy time should be kept to the minimum on the landing runway enables ATC to apply minimum spacing on Final Approach that will achieve maximum runway utilization as well as minimize the occurrence of go-arounds.
3. START-UP PROCEDURE

Fixed ground power supply(400HZ)-Operators are recommended to reduce electric load immediately after parking. May be used but not more than 5 minutes after the aircraft has parked. If fixed ground power supply is out of service, mobile GPU may be used.
Fixed Pre-Conditioned Air (PCA) supply-Operators are recommended to turn off the cabin air re-circulation system to prevent outside air mixing with PC-Air. If fixed PCA is out of service, mobile ACU may be used.
In the event of an aircraft needs to run an APU, it could be done only when park on the remote parking stands which are far from the concourse buildings.

E-mail: vtsp.privatejet@airportthai.co.th
7. 180 DEGREES TURN ON THE RUNWAY
To prevent runway pavement damage which may result in the closure of the aerodrome if such damage is severe, aircraft with wingspan of 24 M and greater are not allowed to make 180 degrees turn on the runway. The turn shall be made on the runway turn pad located near the threshold of runway 27. Any breach done by the aircraft operator shall be recorded and reported to The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT)/ The Headquarter of that operator and shall be liable for the compensation caused by such violation.
8. SAFEGATE DOCKING SYSTEM – IN SYSTEM AT PHUKET INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
General warning
The VDGS system has a built-in error detection program to inform the aircraft pilot of impending dangers during the docking procedure. If the pilot is unsure of the information, being shown on the VDGS display unit, he must immediate stop the aircraft and obtain further information for clearance.
Item to check before entering the stand area
Warning : The pilot shall not enter the stand area, unless the docking system first is showing the vertical running arrows. The pilot must not proceed beyond the bridge, unless these arrows have been superseded by the closing rate bar.
Warning : The pilot shall not enter the stand area, unless the aircraft type displayed is equal to the approaching aircraft/ The Correctness of other information, such as ‘door 2’, shall also be checked.
Safety Back Up (SBU) message
The message STOP Safety Back Up (SBU) means that docking has been interrupted and has to be resumed only by manual guidance. Do not try to resume docking without manual guidance.
 | START-OF-DOCKING When the system is ready to operate, WAIT will be displayed. |
 | CAPTURE The floating arrows indicate that the system is activated and in capture mode, searching for an approaching aircraft. It shall be checked that the correct aircraft type is displayed. The lead-in line shall be followed. The pilot must not proceed beyond the bridge, unless the arrows have been superseded by closing rate bar. |
 | TRACKING When the aircraft has been caught by the laser, the floating arrow is replaced by the yellow centre line indicator. A flashing red arrow indicates the direction to turn. The vertical yellow arrow shows position in relation to the centre line. This indicator gives correct position and azimuth guidance. |
 | CLOSING RATE. Display of digital countdown will start when the aircraft is 20 M from stop position.When the aircraft is less than 12 M from the stop position, the closing rate is indicated by turning off one row of the centre line symbol per 0.5 M, covered by the aircraft. Thus, when the last row is turned off, 0.5 M remains to stop. |
 | ALIGNED TO CENTRE. The aircraft is 8 M from the stop position. The absence of any direction arrow indicates an aircraft on the centre line. |
 | SLOW DOWN. If the aircraft is approaching faster than the accepted speed, the system will show SLOW DOWN as a warning to the pilot. |
 | AZIMUTH GUIDANCE. The aircraft is 4 M from the stop-position. The yellow arrow indicates an aircraft to the right of the centre line, and the red flashing arrow indicates the direction to turn. |
 | STOP POSITION REACHED. When the correct stop-position is reached, the display will show STOP and red lights will be lit. |
 | DOCKING COMPLETE. When the aircraft has parked, OK will be displayed. |
 | CHOCKS ON. CHOCK ON will be displayed, when the ground staff has put the chocks in front of the nose wheel and pressed the “Chocks On” button on the operator panel. |
 | OVERSHOOT. If the aircraft overshoot the stop-position, TOO FAR will be displayed. |
 | BAD WEATHER CONDITION. During heavy fog, rain or snow, the visibility for the docking system can be reduced. When the system is activated and in capture mode, the display will deactivate the floating arrows and show DOWN GRADE. This message will be superseded by the closing rate bar, as soon as the System detects the approaching aircraft. The pilot must not proceed beyond the bridge, unless the DOWN GRADE text has been superseded by the closing rate bar. |
 | AIRCRAFT VERIFICATION FAILURE. During entry into the stand, the aircraft geometry is being checked. If, for any reason, aircraft verification is not made 15 M before the stop-position, the display will first show WAIT and make a second verification check. If this fails STOP and ID FAIL will be displayed. The text will be alternating on the upper two rows of the display. The pilot must not proceed beyond the bridge without manual guidance, unless the WAIT message has been superseded by the closing rate bar. |
 | GATE BLOCKED. If an object is found blocking the view from the VDGS to the planned stop position for the aircraft, the docking procedure will be halted with a GATE BLOCK message. The docking procedure will resume as soon as the blocking object has been removed. The pilot must not proceed beyond the bridge without manual guidance, unless the WAIT message has been superseded by the closing rate bar. |
 | VIEW BLOCKED. If the view towards the approaching aircraft is hindered for instance by dirt on the window, the VDGS will report a view block condition. Once the system is able to see the aircraft through the dirt, the message will be replaced with a closing rate display. The pilot must not proceed beyond the bridge without manual guidance, unless the WAIT message has been superseded by the closing rate bar. |
 | Safety Back Up (SBU)-STOP Any unrecoverable error during the docking procedure will generate a Safety Back Up (SBU) condition. The display will show red stop bar and the text STOP SBU. A manual backup procedure must be used for docking guidance. |
 | EMERGENCY STOP When the emergency stop button is pressed, STOP is displayed. |
 | ERROR If a system error occurs, the message ERROR is display with an error code. The code is used for maintenance purposes and explained else where. |
 | SYSTEM BREAKDOWN In case of a severe system failure, the display will go black, except for a red stop indicator. A marshalling service will be used for docking guidance. |
 | POWER FAILURE In case of a power failure, the display will be completely black. A marshalling service will be used for docking guidance. |
