9.2  If unable to contact BACC or concerned ATS units, an aircraft should contact OSCAR Control on Freq 127.0 MHz or any other GCI v facilities. COPE TIGER 2026 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 areas that are overlapped by COPE TIGER 2026 areas will not be active. Aircraft not associated with COPE TIGER 2026 exercise wishing to fly through the areas should contact " Live Fly Cell " on phone number +668 7048 4835, +668 5776 1170 or " OSCAR Control " on phone number +662 534 4731 to get permission before filing the flight plan.

10  AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT DURING COPE TIGER 2026 PERIOD

In response to the capacity constraint caused by the Joint Military Air Exercise COPE TIGER 2026 the following ATFM measures will be
implemented:

10.1  Ground Delay Program (GDP)

The Ground Delay Program (GDP) may be implemented during the traffic congestion period. ATFM procedure is published in AIP Thailand ENR 1.9

10.2  Temporary Flight Level orientation scheme

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

10.2.1 Northbound flight from VTBD, VTBS, BKK via A464 (portion BKK CMA), Y26, or Y27

and flight depart from VTPI, VTBK, VTBL, VTBH, VTPP via W9 - ODD FL

10.2.2 Southbound flight to VTBD, VTBS, VTBK, BKK via Y7, Y28 or W9 or other airways joining W9. - EVEN FL
