1   Aircraft Operating Procedure(Except military aircraft and helicopter))

1   Weather Minima for PAR 19/20

2   VFR Approach Procedure

Aircrafts arriving in seoul airbase with VFR or passing through should contact with SEOUL APPROACH or SEOUL GCA outside of 15 NM from seoul airbase. Aircrafts should approach with permission of arrival and radar service support following VFR approach procedure. (except all foreign and civil aircraft)

1. Fixed-wing Aircraft

   1. Approach from north and northeast to VRP(VFR report point) : Aircrafts should enter VRP(‘E/F/H’ PT) via ‘O’ PT. And aircrafts approaching from ‘E’ or ‘F’ PT via ‘O’ PT should do Initial or ST-IN approach. (RWY 20/19 : ‘E’ PT, RWY 2/1 : ‘F’ PT)

   2. Approach from south, southeast and east to VRP : Aircrafts should enter east downwind via ‘H’ PT. And aircrafts approaching from ‘E’ or ‘F’ PT via ‘H’ PT should do Initial or ST-IN approach. (RWY 20/19 : ‘E’ PT, RWY 2/1 : ‘F’ PT)

   3. Approach from west to VRP

   Aircrafts should approach by IFR flight. When VFR approach is needed, approach via ‘E’, ‘F’ or ‘H’ PT by Seoul APP’ Control.

   ※ Pattern altitude

   1. East pattern D/W 1 600 ft (B737 2 100 ft)

   2. West pattern D/W 1 800 ft

2. Helicopters

   • 1) Approaching from the North, Northeast or Northwest shall enter the West Traffic Pattern(Downwind 1 000 ft) after passing CP "A" through the P73 VFR Route Corridor.

   • 2) Approaching from the South or Southwest shall enter the West Traffic Pattern(Downwind 1 000 ft) via IP "B" or CP "C" and CP "J" after initial contact at "SOUTH" point.

   • 3) Approaching from the West shall enter the West Traffic Pattern(Downwind 1 000 ft) along Hyunheungro after passing CP "D".

   • 4) When there are no Seoul Air Base flight missions(holiday or after completing flight on weekday), pilots who are intending to transit over noise complaints area shall fly at 2 000 ft after getting permission from the control tower if weather conditions are at or above flight visibility 3 SM/ceiling 2 500 ft.

3   VFR Departure Procedure

Fixed-wing aircraft shall depart under IFR basically. But if it is unable to do so, notify Control tower of the proposed departure route before take-off and then follow the VFR procedures under the support of RADAR Service by Seoul Approach Control.

1. For Fixed-wing Aircraft

   Climb heading 0 23 °(When RWY 01/02 in use) or heading 190°(When RWY 19/20 in use) until reaching 1 000 ft (instrument altitude), then turn right and fly to the east until reaching 2 500 ft and then direct to the mission area.

2. Helicopters

   • 1) When RWY 19/20 in use

     When flying to the North, fly along the Geoungbu Expressway via CP "J". When flying to the South, fly along the Geoungbu Expressway at 1 000 ft or fly to IP "B" via CP "J" and CP "C".

   • 2) When RWY 01/02 in use

     When flying to the North, fly to CP "A" or CP "D". When flying to the South, fly along Downwind leg after take-off and then proceed to IP "B" via CP "B" and CP "J".

   • 3) When there are no Seoul Air Base flight missions(holiday or after completing flight on weekday), pilots who are intending to transit over noise complaints area shall fly at 2 000 ft after getting permission from the control tower if weather conditions are at or above flight visibility 3 SM/ceiling 2 500 ft.

4   Control Zone Transition Procedure for Helicopters Using the Geoungbu Expressway

1. Transition from the south to the north

   After initial contact at "SOUTH" point, fly along the Gyeongbu Expressway via IP "B", then report over CP "D" unless otherwise instructed by ATC to fly via CP "C" and CP "J".

2. Transition from the north to the south

   After passing CP "D", fly along the Gyeongbu Expressway, then report over IP "B" unless otherwise instructed by ATC as fly via CP "C" and CP "J".

3. Avoidance of the noise complaints area.

   When there are no Seoul Air Base flight missions(holiday or after completing flight on weekday), pilots who are intending to transit over noise complaints area shall fly at 2 000 ft after getting permission from the control tower if weather conditions are at or above flight visibility 3 SM/ceiling 2 500 ft.

5   Caution

1. When flying for SEOUL BASE Inbound (outbound), all pilots shall be careful of the LOTTE SUPER TOWER with the height* of 570 m AMSL(1 87 0 ft) which is located 6 332.6(4 333.9) ft right side from 3.1(3.2) NM on final RWY20(RWY19).
