2. STARTING UP PROCEDURE
3. PUSH BACK PROCEDURE
3.1 Procedures for Push-back of aircraft in Apron described on paragraph as follows:
3.1.1 Ground crew must ensure that the area behind an aircraft is clear of vehicles, equipment and other obstructions before the start-up or push-back of aircraft commences.
3.1.2 When the pilot is ready for start-up and push-back, Pilots shall seek confirmation from the ground crew that there is on hazard to his aircraft starting up. Pilots shall then notify the ground controller that he is ready for push-back. On being told by Hat Yai Ground that push-back is approved, Pilots shall co-ordinate with the ground crew for the start-up and push-back of the aircraft.
3.1.3 Pilots are reminded that they shall always use minimum power when starting engine or manoeuvring within the apron area. It is especially important when commencing to taxi that breakaway thrust is kept to an absolute minimum and then reduced to idle thrust as soon as practicable.
3.1.4 The points where the tug will be disconnected from the aircraft and breakaway thrust will be applied on “taxilane N”
3.1.5 Due to aircraft congestion, self-maneuvering is not permitted at any parking stands, all aircraft must use tow bar for push-back procedures except aircraft code letter C or below that permitted from Hat Yai International Airport.
3.2 The following table describes the procedure for push-back of aircraft from the aircraft stands. When it becomes necessary to vary a procedure to expedite aircraft movements, Hat Yai Ground will issue specific instructions to the pilots.

4. SAFEGATE DOCKING SYSTEM – IN SYSTEM AT HAT YAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
General warning
The DGS 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 DGS 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 The pilot must not proceed beyond the bridge, unless these arrows have been superseded by the closing rate bar.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.
The SBU message
The message STOP 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 The system is started by pressing one of the aircraft type buttons on the operator panel. When the button has been pressed, WAIT will be displayed. |
 | CAPTURE The floating arrows indicate that the system is activated and in capture mode, searching for an approaching aircraft. If 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 give 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 center 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 eight meters 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. |
 | OVERSHOOT If the aircraft overshoot the stop-position, TOO FAR will be displayed. |
  | STOP SHORT If the aircraft is found standing still but has not reached the intended stop position, the message STOP OK will be shown after a while. |
 | WAIT If some object is blocking the view toward the approaching aircraft or the detected aircraft is lost during docking, before 12 M to STOP, the display will show WAIT. The docking will continue as soon as the blocking object has disappeared or the system detects the aircraft again. As the aircraft is approaching the stop position, the aircraft geometry is being checked. If, for any reason, aircraft verification is not made 12 M before the stop-position, the display will show WAIT, STOP and ID FAIL. The text will be alternating on the upper two row of the display . The pilot must not proceed beyond the bridge, unless the “WAIT” message has been superseded by the closing rate bar. |
 | 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 40 FT metres 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 DGS 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 DGS 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 . |
  | SBU-STOP . Any unrecoverable error during the docking procedure will generate an SBU condition. The display will show red stop bar and the text STOP SBU. A manual backup procedure must be used for docking guidance. |
  | TOO FAST If the aircraft approaches with a speed higher than the docking system can handle, the message STOP (with red squares) and TOO FAST will be displayed. The docking system must be re-started or docking procedure completed by manual guidance. |
 | EMERGENCY STOP . When the emergency stop button is pressed, STOP is 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. |
 | 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 manual backup procedure must be used for docking guidance. POWER FAILURE In case of a power failure, the display will be completely black. A manual backup procedure must be used for docking guidance. |
All aircraft parking bays are allocated by Ground / Apron. Controller with regard to aircraft type involved and the prevailing or anticipated traffic situation.
The marshalling of scheduled, non-scheduled, and general aviation aircraft into the bays either manually or by the VDGS Guide-In system, and the pushing out of aircraft for departure with a maximum takeoff weight of 5,700 kilograms, shall be under the responsibility of the aircraft operator or its appointed ground handling agency that has passed Marshalling Signals training as required by Annex 2 and has a certificate from the airline or company that has a duty to provide Marshalling Service.
General aviation aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight below 5,700 kilograms and without a ground handling agent shall notify the ATC to coordinate the Airside Operations Division to provide Marshalling Signal Service.
Due to the minimum separation distance between runway centre line and centre line of parallel TWY A and TWY J (military use) are 120 M and 150 M respectively. Taxiway A and J not available to other aircraft when aircraft with code C, D or E take off or landing on the runway, due to the distances between the runway centre line and taxiway centre lines are less than the minimum required.
5. 180 DEGREES TURN ON RUNWAY

VTSS AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES
1. LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES (LVP)
2. SPEED CONTROL PROCEDURE IN HAT YAI TMA
-
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.
-
Speed will be reduced to 220 knots during 20-25 track miles from touchdown.
-
180 knots at Intermediate fix (Including aircraft from RNAV STAR), or shortly before closing heading to intercept or to establish the final course,
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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)
3. 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.

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,
5. 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,
