1.2 Details of VFR entry and exit procedures, see charts.
2.  NAKHON RATCHASIMA CORRIDOR (NTC)

In order to facilitate all aircraft to/from Nakhon Ratchasima Airport Temporary Transition Corridor is established within Khorat Control Zone as follow:

Nakhon Ratchasima Transition Corridor (NTC) an area bounded by a line joining the following points: 143746.50N 1013621.56E to 144624.59N 1014902.48E to 145944.02N 1021819.43E to 150243.62N 1024312.81E then along a 35 NM arc clockwise from KRT VOR/DME (145502.35N 1020823.32E) to 145644.78N 1024358.14E to 145345.19N 1021905.45E to 144128.44N 1015235.14E to 143250.36N 1013954.53E then along a 35 NM arc clockwise from KRT VOR/DME (145502.35N 1020823.32E) to the starting point.

Vertical Limit : 3 000 FT / 11 000 FT

Period of Activity : To be notified by ATC

Type of Airspace : Temporary Airspace delegated turning point Nakhon Ratchasima Approach

Class of Airspace : C

Controlling Unit : Nakhon Ratchasima Approach

Frequency : 123.6 MHZ

Remark : NTC may be activated during low traffic period within Khorat Control Zone, Nakhon Ratchasima Approach shall accordingly maintain close co-ordination with Khorat Approach for intended activities within NTC.

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.

4.  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,

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,

- Runway 06:

RATCHASIMA OMNI 06 Departure: Required climb gradient 201 ft per NM (3.3%) until 2,800 ft.
