1.3  Radio communication failure procedure

If no transmissions are received for 1 minute in the pattern or 5sec(PAR) / 15sec(ASR) on final approach, attempt contact TWR(334.6 MHz or 118.05 MHz) and proceed VFR. If unable, proceed with LOC/DME RWY 10 approach, maintain 5 000 FT until establish on approach procedure.

3   COMMUNICATION FAILURE
3.1  IFR
  1. General

    1. No person may take off unless two-way communication can be maintained with the Air Traffic Control.

    2. On recognition of communication failure during flight, squawk 7600 and if necessary to ensure safe altitude, climb to Minimum Safe Altitude or above to maintain obstacle clearance. Then comply with following Procedures. Then comply with following procedure.

  2. VFR condition

    If the failure occurs in VFR conditions, or if VFR conditions are encountered after the failure, each pilot shall continue the flight under VFR and land as soon as practicable.

  3. IFR condition

    If the failure occurs in IFR conditions, or if paragraph 2 of this section cannot be complied with, each pilot shall continue the flight according to the following:

RKTH AD 2.23   ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

  1. Bird concentrations in the vicinity of airport

    An average of 14 000 birds a year have been flown around Pohang Airport.

    It is shown the increasing number of birds when the groups of snipes and skylarks start plying the action in April, May, September, October and November.

    Usually, sedentary birds fly over during the time of sunrise and sunset around the year except late spring and fall. The status of flying on each period is as follows. In January and February, the groups of gulls fly over (200 FT) the Pohang airport to move to Hodong landfill from Dogu coast during the time of sunrise and sunset.

    In April and May, the groups of snipes inhabit at the airport and fly around the area. In August and September, a number of sparrow hawk fly over Pohang Airport and the groups of skylarks are active in October and September.

    It is indicated that the groups of birds are on the feed surrounding taxiway at Pohang Airport, Then, they do not fly across the runway and fly back to their habitat close to the outskirts of the airport. However, the groups of skylarks and snipes, which are active late spring and in fall, are on the feed as well as inhabit within the airport.
