3. Ground Movement

3.1 General

3.1.1 All surface movement of aircraft, vehicles and personnel on the manoeuvring area is subject to prior permission from ATC.

3.1.2 Within the movement area, pilots will be cleared to and from the aircraft stands under general direction from Ground Control. Pilots are reminded of the extreme importance of maintaining a careful look out at all times.

3.1.3 Directions issued by ATC should be followed specifically. RTF transmissions shall be brief, concise and kept to the minimum number.

3.2 Operation of mode S transponders on the ground

3.2.1 Suvarnabhumi International Airport is equipped with an Advanced Surface Movement Radar utilizing mode S multilateration. Aircraft operators intending to use Suvarnabhumi International Airport should ensure that mode S transponders are able to operate when the aircraft is on the ground.

3.2.2 For aircraft that are capable of reporting aircraft identification (i.e. call signs used in flight), the aircraft identification should also be entered via FMS or control panel. The ICAO defined format for aircraft identification (i.e. same format as used in ICAO flight plan e.g. THA640, CPA701, SIA068) shall be used.

3.2.3 Flight crew should select XPDR or the equivalent according to specific installation. It shall also be ensured that the transponder is operating (i.e. OUT OF STAND-BY or OFF POSITION) and the assigned mode A code is selected in accordance with the following:

for a departing flight, upon received airway clearance; except that subject to ATFM measures or departure time restrictions, the action should be done when starting up engine.
for an arriving flight, continuously until the aircraft is fully parked at the stand.

3.2.4 To prevent possible interference to radar surveillance systems, TCAS should be functioned:

for departure, when aircraft are entering the runway or line up clearance is received;
for arrival, until aircraft have vacated the runway.

3.2.5 During on ground, pilot of aircraft not equipped with mode S transponder shall operate the transponder and select mode A code as individually directed by the ATC unit:

for departure, when starting up engine;
for arrival, until aircraft have completely parked.

3.2.6 Tracking and identifications of airport surface vehicles

To provide tracking and identification of authorized movements, any authorized vehicle intended to be used on the manoeuvring area at Suvarnabhumi International Airport shall be equipped with mode S squitter box to inform mode S multilateration system of its position.

4. Push Back Procedures

4.1 Scope

The procedure covers and details the activities to be carried out by ATC staff, AOT staff and airport agencies staff when involved in the process of an aircraft start up and push back at Suvarnabhumi International Airport.

4.2 Objective

4.2.1 The procedure “Aircraft start up and push back” applies to all persons involved in handling the process of aircraft start up and push back.

4.2.2 The procedure also implies conditions for operations during low visibility conditions at the airport.

4.3 General

4.3.1 Aircraft which are parked either nose in to the terminal building on a stand attached to a Passenger Loading Bridge or nose in on a remote stand will need to be pushed back from the stand towards the taxilane centre line taking into account the standard taxiway routing.

4.3.2 Once the pilot-in-command of an aircraft has decided that the aircraft is fully ready for departure he/she will contact Ground Control for start-up, stating the parking position and after that for push back permission.

Note: fully ready in this sense means all passengers, hold and cargo doors are closed, the Passenger Loading Bridge is disconnected and back in its rest position, the tug is connected to the aircraft and the ground engineer is in position and in contact with the pilot-in-command.

4.3.3 When the anti-collision beacons of the aircraft have been switched on no vehicular movement is permitted behind the aircraft.

4.3.4 ATC may deviate from the standard push back procedure as stated below for reasons such as traffic or work in progress. The deviation will be given in the push back permission and the pilot-in-command has to make sure that the ground engineer fully understands the deviation.

4.3.5 The pilot-in-command shall use minimum break away power and minimum taxi power when operating on the aprons and taxilanes.

4.3.6 Nose wheel positions have been marked on the taxilane centre line to indicate to the tug/tractor driver where the push or pull manoeuvre has to be stopped and the tug can be disconnected.

4.3.7 A340-600 aircraft may only be pushed back using a towbarless tow tractor. This is to avoid blocking the road in front of the aircraft by a tractor with towbar.

4.3.8 To avoid jet blast in the apron areas pilots are urgently requested to adhere strictly to the start-up and push back procedures and to use minimum break away power and taxi power when operating on the aprons and taxilanes. Furthermore, the aircraft shall be pushed back and towed forward on the yellow taxilane centre line marking.

4.5 Responsibilities

4.5.1 Responsibilities of the pilot-in-command

When the aircraft is fully ready the pilot-in-command is responsible to obtain the start-up and push back permission, stating the parking position.

4.5.2 Responsibilities of the ground engineer

The ground engineer of the Airline or Ground Handling Agent is responsible for a safe process of aircraft start up and push back and to report to the pilot-in-command when he/she and the tug are clear of the taxiway in the event of low visibility condition.

4.5.3 Responsibilities of the tug driver

The tug driver is responsible to ensure that the aircraft is pushed back (and pulled forward if required) toward the right direction onto the taxilane.

4.5.4 Responsibilities of the Apron Control Tower

The Apron Controller is responsible to monitor the engine start up and push back activities and to ensure that the aircraft will be pushed back toward the right direction onto the taxilane.

4.6 Actions to be taken

4.6.1 Actions to be taken by the pilot-in-command

When the aircraft is fully ready the pilot-in-command shall:

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. This is to be done using standard phraseology in communication with the ground operations headset operator.
Ensure that prior to the start-up, the pilot shall be certain that the propellers or the air flows caused by the engine cannot cause injuries or damage to persons or properties on ground. This is to be done by using standard phraseology in communication with the ground operations headset operator.
Contact Ground Control for permission to start up the engine(s). In normal operations, the engine start-up at the aircraft parking position is not allowed.
Ensure that the ground engineer, or the person responsible for ground to cockpit communications who is in direct intercom-radio contact with the pilot-in-command, acknowledges the start-up permission. In the event intercom-radio contact is not available, the use of standard hand signals will be used.
Ensure that the anti-collision beacons of the aircraft have been switched on before pushing back or starting the engine and to obtain an “all-clear” signal from the ground operations headset operator.
During push back operations, all aircraft shall be pushed back with its fuselage longitudinally centred over, and parallel to, a taxiway centre line before commencing the engine start. Should the engine start be performed at the aircraft parking positions, ensure that the requirements for such engine start up conditions are met.
Ensure that the ground engineer or ground operations headset operator acknowledges the permission.
Ensure that the aircraft is being pushed back in the right direction onto the taxilane.
Request permission from Ground Control to taxi when the tug has been disconnected as confirmed by the ground engineer and the ground engineer or ground operations headset operator has given the “all clear” signal .

4.6.2 Actions to be taken by the ground engineer

The ground engineer of the Airline or Handling Agent shall:

Ensure that the stand area is clear of any obstacle and FOD.
Ensure that the tug is connected to the aircraft and that the tug driver is completely ready to perform the push-back.
Acknowledge the Ground Control permission to start up the engine(s) to the pilot-in-command.
Ensure that the anti-collision beacons of the aircraft are switched on.
Monitor the engine(s) start up sequence.
Acknowledge the Ground Control permission for push back to the pilot-in-command.
Ensure that the tug driver understood the push back permission (by hand -signaling to the tug driver) and starting the push back manoeuvre.
Ensure that the aircraft is pushed back toward the right direction onto the taxilane.
Make sure that during the push back manoeuvre he/she will be in contact with the pilot-in-command at all times.
Ensure that the tug has been disconnected from the aircraft on the taxilane stop position and confirm so to the pilot-in-command.
When disconnected from the radio contact with the pilot-in-command, give the “all clear” signal to the pilot-in-command, being well clear of the aircraft’s path of taxiing.
Return to the stand area.

During low visibility conditions (CAT II) the ground engineer will, together with the tug driver, return behind the double white marking line on the apron surface as soon as possible and will indicate to the pilot-in-command that both of them are clear of the taxiway.

Note: CAT II: Runway Visual Range of less than 550 m or cloud base of less than 200 ft.

4.6.3 Actions to be taken by the tug driver

The tug driver of the Airline or Handling Agent shall:

Ensure that the tug is properly connected to the aircraft
Start the push back manoeuvre when permission to do so has been given by the ground engineer.
Make sure that the aircraft is pushed back toward the right direction onto the taxilane stop position.
Disconnect the tug from the aircraft when in position on the taxilane.
Return to the stand area.

During low visibility conditions (CAT II) the tug driver will, together with the ground engineer, return behind the red clearance line marking on the apron surface as soon as possible.

Note: CAT II: Runway Visual Range of less than 550 m or cloud base of less than 200 ft.

4.6.4 Actions to be taken by the Apron Control Tower

The Apron Controller will:

Monitor the engine(s) start up and push back activities.
Ensure that the aircraft will be pushed back toward the right direction onto the taxilane.

5. Taxi Procedures

5.1 Taxi Instructions

5.1.1 For departing aircraft, Ground Controller shall issue taxi instructions containing the following items in the order listed:

a) holding position;
b) runway designator;
c) taxi routes;
d) any other pertinent information.

For example:

“…C/S… TAXI TO HOLDING POINT RUNWAY ONE NINE VIA TANGO FOUR, CHARLIE, CHARLIE THREE, BRAVO ONE.”

5.1.2 For arriving aircraft, Ground Controller shall issue taxi instructions containing the following items in the order listed:

a) taxi routes;
b) parking stand;
c) any other pertinent information.

For example:

“…C/S… TAXI VIA ECHO, DELTA SEVEN, GOLF, TANGO ONE ZERO, TANGO ONE TWO, YOUR STAND DELTA SIX.”

5.2 Extra caution is required when crossing service roads in the manoeuvring area.

5.3 On the main apron where additional 180 degrees turn markings are established. The markings T9A and T9B connect taxilane T9
with taxilane T8 and the markings T10A and T10B connect taxilane T10 with taxilane T11 are provided. The routes may only be used when instructed to do so by ATC (ATC discretion).

5.4 Taxilanes T8, T9, T10, T11 and T12 are able to accommodate aircraft up to code E (wingspan less than 65 m).

6. Runway Utilization Procedures

6.1 Runway-in-use

The runway-in-use is selected by Suvarnabhumi Control Tower as the best for general purpose. If it is unsuitable for a particular operation, the pilot can obtain permission from ATC to use another but must accept that he may thereby incur a delay.

6.2 Runway Friction Measurement

6.2.1 The friction coefficient of runway surface is measured periodically by the use of a Surface Friction Tester (SFT) Vehicle, SAAB or VOLVO. This tester which is equipped with self wetting features uses the fifth wheel with a tire that meets the requirements of ASTM E1551 incorporating with measuring system and computerized data processing and records.

6.2.2 The test will be performed on the surface at a speed of 95 km/h with 1 mm thick water depth underneath the testing wheel, it will be carried out in two directions over the usable length of runway at approximately 3 and 6 m each side of the runway centre line. The test results provide average of friction values of 100 m segments along the length of the runway. Should the friction value fall to 0.34 or less, NOTAM will be promulgated to notify that the runway may be slippery when wet.

Friction Value

6.3 Departure sequence

6.3.1 Departure shall normally be cleared in the order in which they are ready for take-off, except that deviations may be made from this order of priority to facilitate the maximum number of departures with the least average delay.

6.3.2 To increase runway capacity and to comply with slot times if required, ATC may re-order departure sequence at any time. In addition, intersections will be assigned for departure. Pilots unable to accept the reduced take-off run available for the assigned intersection, shall inform ATC directly.

6.4 Departure clearance

6.4.1 The order in which aircraft are given take-off clearances will be determined on the basis of normal traffic priorities, the application of wake turbulence standard separation and departure slot allocations and management.

6.4.2 Under normal circumstances all departing aircraft will be issued with SIDs. If, for traffic management reason, a SID has to be cancelled, the pilot will be given a specific departure instruction.

6.5 Intersection departure

Departing aircraft will normally be directed by ATC to use the full length of the runway for take-off. Pilots-in-command may request or ATC may propose an intersection departure to resolve a particular runway or manoeuvring area conflict. The final decision whether to make an intersection departure rests with the pilot-in-command.

6.6 Clearance for immediate take-off

A pilot receiving an immediate take-off instruction is required to act as follows:

if waiting clear of the runway, taxi immediately on to it and begin his take off run without stopping his aircraft;
if already lined up on the runway, take off without delay;
if unable to comply with the instruction, inform ATC immediately.

6.7 Departures – Minimum Runway Occupancy Time

6.7.1 On receipt of line-up clearance pilots should ensure, commensurate with safety and standard operation procedures, that they are able to taxi into the correct position at the hold and line up on the runway as soon as the preceding aircraft has commenced its take off roll.

6.7.2 Whenever possible, cockpit checks should be completed prior to line up and any checks requiring completion whilst on the runway should be kept to the minimum required. Pilots should ensure that they are able to commence the take off roll immediately after take off clearance is issued.

6.7.3 Pilots not able to comply with these requirements should notify ATC as soon as possible.

6.7.4 Pilots shall prepare for the following take-off run available (TORA):

RUNWAY 01	TORA (m)
B13	4 000
B12	3 890

13.2 Description of system

13.2.1 The Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System (A-VDGS) is provided at aircraft parking stands A1-A6, B1-B6, C1-C10, D1-D8,
E1-E10, F1-F6, G1-G5, 115-129, 201-203, 301-308, 401-403 and 501-525.

13.2.1.1 System Overview

The RLG GIS206-2 Laser Guided Docking System is a fully automatic aircraft docking guidance system for various types of modern aircraft.

The system utilises 2-axis laser scanning technique to track both the lateral and longitudinal positions of the incoming aircraft and guide the aircraft to the programmed stopping position. In addition, the system also has aircraft ID verification feature to identify the incoming aircraft and check it against the one selected by the operator. If the incoming aircraft fails to match the expected aircraft, an ‘ID FAIL’ indication is immediately issued via display information.

Aircraft type, continuous closing distance, and azimuth guidance, etc., are presented on a single console clearly visible to both the pilot and co-pilot, simultaneously. Figure A shows the Aircraft Display console, mounted on the terminal in front of the aircraft stand.

The system is operated only in the automatic mode. If the system fails, the aircraft must then be marshalled into the stand manually.

13.2.1.2 General warning

Pilot must stop the aircraft immediately if he or she sees that:

The docking system is not activated.
A wrong aircraft type is displayed.
The word STOP is displayed.
A wrong type of aircraft indicates ‘ID FAIL’ is displayed.

13.2.1.3 Docking Procedure

During the docking process, pilot shall confirm that the correct aircraft is displayed on the LED Display Console and proceed slowly forward to parking position.

The following Display Guide shows the azimuth guidance bars at the lower centre of VDGS LED Display Console and interprets the guidance as shown.

Caution: Always steer and follow to the GREEN AZIMUTH CENTRE BAR.

Aircraft left of centre line, steer towards GREEN	Aircraft on centre line	Aircraft right of centre line, steer towards GREEN

The figure below shows the azimuth guidance status on the LED Display Console indicating the aircraft azimuth position when an aircraft approaching to parking position.

	Green light bar illuminates, the aircraft is on centre line. Keep straight ahead.
	If red light bar appears on the left side of the green light bar, the aircraft is off centre line to left. It should be moved rightwards.
	If red light bar appears on the right side of the green light bar, the aircraft is off centre line to right. It should be moved leftwards.

The pilot display of the Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System (A-VDGS) is shown below:

PARKING SEQUENCE:

	In this picture the aircraft is at a distance greater than 30 m from the stop position and is directly at the centre line. Note that the digital close-in distance is not displayed when the aircraft is greater than 30 m away from the stop position. An Airbus A320 aircraft is expected.
	In this picture the aircraft is at exactly 30 m from the stop position, but is off to the right of the centre line. Starting at 30 m, the digital close-in distance (second line of display) is displayed, in 1 m decrements. The progress meter (lower left) will also be activated at this distance.
	The aircraft is at 20 m from the stop position and has returned to the centre line. Note: the position of progress meter. The arrow will advance one position every 2.5 m.
	In this picture the aircraft is at 10 m and is on the centre line.
	The aircraft is now at 3.2 m from the stop position and is on the centre line. Note that at below 5 m, the close-in distance is displayed in 0.2 m decrements.
	Finally the aircraft is perfectly parked at the stop position, and perfectly centred. The word “STOP” is displayed in red. Note also the merging of the arrow and the stop line on the progress meter.
	The word “OK” is displayed in yellow. Docking is successful.

SLOW:

During the docking process, the pilot must taxi into
the aircraft stand at minimum speed. If the system detects that the aircraft is moving too quickly, exceeding the
preset speed limit for accurate detection, it will display "SLOW".

Once the aircraft's speed is reduced to the acceptable range, the "SLOW" message will be switched back to the numerical close-in distance.

ID FAIL:

For this aircraft type ID verification features, the incoming aircraft must be identified and verified at least 12 m before the stop position or otherwise, the system will display “ID FAIL” alternating ID/FAIL on the first row of the display.

The second row of the docking screen will indicate “STOP”. At this point, the aircraft must be manually guided in by a marshaller.

TOO FAR:

If the aircraft overshoots the preset range (more than
1 m), the word “TooFar” will be displayed on the first row of the display.

The second row of the docking screen will indicate “STOP”.

The aircraft shall stop immediately.

ERROR STOP:

The system will display "ERROR" on the first row of the display as indicated if the system detects any hardware error that might affect the normal docking process.

The second row of the display will indicate “STOP”.

At this point, the aircraft must be manually guided in by a marshaller.

GATE BLOCKED:

If an object is found blocking the view from the VDGS to the planned stop position for the aircraft, the docking procedure will be halted with "GATE BLOCK" message.

The second row of the display will indicate "STOP".

At this point, the aircraft must be manually guided in by a marshaller.

EMERGENCY STOP:

The first and second row of the display will show “STOP”.

The docking is aborted and aircraft must be manually guided in by a marshaller.

13.2.2 The Visual Docking Guidance System (VDGS) is provided at aircraft parking stands 101-114.

13.2.2.1 System Overview

13.2.2.2 General Warning

The VDGS System has built in error detection program to inform the aircraft pilot of impending dangers during the docking procedure.

Warning: If the pilot is unsure of the information, being shown on the VDGS display unit, he must immediately stop the aircraft and obtain further information for clearance.

13.2.2.3 Items 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.

13.2.2.4 Docking Procedure

START-OF-DOCKING:

Pressing one of the aircraft type buttons on the Operator Panel starts the system. 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.
The pilot shall check that the correct aircraft type isdisplayed. The lead-in line shall be followed.
The flight number for the approaching aircraft is displayed on the second line of the display if the information is available.
The pilot must not proceed without manual guidance (aircraft marshalling) unless the arrows have been superseded by the closing rate bar.

TRACKING:

When the laser has caught the aircraft, the floating arrowsare replaced by the yellow centre line indicator.
A flashing red arrow indicates the direction to turn.
The vertical yellow arrow shows position in relation tothe centre line. This indicator gives correct positionand azimuth guidance.

CLOSING RATE:

Display of digital countdown will start when the aircraft is20 m from stop position. This information is shown insteadof the flight number.
When the aircraft is less than 12 m from the stop position,the closing rate is indicated by turning off one row ofthe centre line symbol per 0.5 m of the remaining distance,covered by the aircraft toward the stop position of the stand.
The picture illustrates the aircraft 10 m from stop position,slightly left of the centre line. The red arrow indicatesthe direction to steer.

ALIGNED TO CENTRE:

The aircraft is 8 m from the stop position. The absence of 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" alternating SLOW/DOWN as a warning to the pilot.

AZIMUTH GUIDANCE:

The yellow arrow indicates an aircraft to the right ofthe centre line, and the red flashing arrow indicatesthe direction to turn.
The aircraft is 4 m from the stop position in this example.

STOP POSITION REACHED:

When the correct stop position is reached, the displaywill show STOP and red lights will be lit.

DOCKING COMPLETED:

When the aircraft has parked, "OK" will be displayed.

OVERSHOOT:

If the aircraft has overshot the stop position more than
1 m, "TOO FAR" will be displayed.

The aircraft shall stop immediately.

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.

Also the red lights are lit.

BAD WEATHER CONDITION:

During heavy fog or rain, the visibility for the dockingsystem can be reduced.

When the system is activated and in capture mode, and a downgrade condition is detected, the pilot display will start flashing the aircraft type, show a " DOWN GRADE " alternating DOWN/GRADE and replace the rolling arrows with a blank lead-in display.

The blank lead-in display will be replaced with the normallead-in bar, once Safedock has been able to acquire a lockonto the aircraft. The DOWN GRADE messageand the flashing aircraft type will remain in the displaythroughout the docking procedure.
