COBRA GOLD 2025 aircraft experiencing an emergency and unable to contact their appropriate control agencies shall contact OSCAR Control or any other GCI facility on Freq 331.3 MHz, 127.0 MHz or guard Freq 243.0 MHz and 121.5 MHz. During exercise period all VTD area those are overlapped by COBRA GOLD 2025 areas will be not active. Aircraft not concerned with COBRA GOLD 2025 exercise wish to fly through the areas should be contact "Live Fly Cell" on phone number +669 8995 2698, +668 5553 5098 or "OSCAR Control" on phone number +662 534 4731 to get the permission before file flight plan.

8  AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT DURING COBRA GOLD 2025 PERIOD

In response to the capacity constraint caused by the Joint Military Air Exercise "COBRA GOLD 2025" the following ATFM measures will be implemented:

8.1  Temporary Flight Level orientation scheme

Flights operating on the following routes are requested to use the following flight level orientation scheme:

8.1.1 Northbound flight from VTBD/VTBS/BKK via A464 (Portion BKK-CMA) Y26, Y27 and flight depart

from VTPI, VTBL, VTBH, VTPP via W9. – Odd FL

8.1.2 Southbound flight to VTBD/VTBS/BKK via Y7, Y28 or W9 or other airways joining W9. – Even FL

8.2  Ground Delay Program (GDP) through the provision of Calculated Take-Off Time (CTOT)

GDP will be implemented by Bangkok Air Traffic Flow Management Unit (BKK ATFMU) to balance the demand and capacity over congested area. CTOT will be issued to the flights entering BACC sector 3N and 6N to land at VTBD, VTBS and VTBU.

Specific timing of GDP periods each day will be published in the ATFM Daily Plan (ADP), which will be distributed via e-mail to all stakeholders that provided their e-mail to Bangkok ATFMU one day before operations.

When GDP is active, ATS units and aircraft operators are requested to adhere to the procedure published in the AIP Thailand ENR 1.9 and Bangkok ATFMU User's Manual.
