7.   Air Traffic Services

7.1 The Aeronautical Radio of Thailand Limited provides, operates and maintains the equipment and services for provision of:

  1. Area control service within Bangkok FIR as detailed in ENR 2.1-1

  2. Aerodrome control and approach control at all civil airports.

7.2  IFR flights operating into Bangkok International Airport remain under the jurisdiction of the Area Control Centre until reaching a predetermined point agreed by the ATC units, after which Bangkok Approach Control assumes jurisdiction; outbound flights will remain under the jurisdiction of Bangkok Approach Control while in the control zone or until such time as the aircraft has been instructed to change over to the Area Control Centre radiotelephony frequency.
7.3 The airspace of Thai territory, including adjacent territorial waters, comprises a single FIR (Bangkok FIR). Air Traffic Control services are exercised only in controlled airspace.
7.4 The description of the airspace designated for air traffic purposes is found in several tables, all forming part of ENR 2.

8.   Special Communication Procedures

In order to ensure appropriate separation planning by Bangkok Area Control Centre, pilots of all eastbound traffics shall contact Bangkok control at least 15 minutes prior to entering the FIR on the following frequencies;

airways L507, G463, P646, L524, L877, L301 and M502 on frequency 120.95 MHz and airways M626 on frequency 118.35 MHz.

Avoidance of Unnecessary TCAS RA Warning: Aircraft shall strictly use rate of climb or rate of descent at 1500 FPM or less within 2000ft to the assigned altitude or flight level, then use rate of climb or rate of descent at 1000 FPM or less within 1000ft to the assigned altitude or flight level when flight crew is made aware of another aircraft at or approaching an adjacent altitude or flight level, unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

9.   Restricted Airspace and Danger Areas

Prohibited areas, restricted areas and danger areas within Bangkok FIR are listed in ENR 5.1. Activation of areas subject to intermittent activity is notified well in advance by NOTAM giving reference only to the designation of the area.
