1.2.1

Departing ACFT(Including ACFT that require de-icing)

Prior to push-back or taxiing from a parking stand whichever comes

first:

- Enter, using either FMS mod or transponder control unit, the flight identification as specified in item 7 of the ICAO flight plan(ex:KAL123, AAR456) or enter in the absence of flight identification, the ACFT registration.

- Select XPNDR or its equivalent in relation to specifications on the installed model.

- If function is available, select AUTO mode.

- Do not select Off or STBY functions.

- Set Mode A code assigned by ATC.

Lining up

- select TA/RA

RKSS AD 2.22   FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1   IFR
1.1 

The following procedures are established for all turbo jet departures from Gimpo International Airport :

  1. Aircraft shall contact Clearance Delivery and provide the following information 5 minutes prior to startup or push-back.

    1. Aircraft Identification

    2. Type of aircraft

    3. Destination

    4. Proposed flight level

    5. Gate or stand number

    6. ATIS code

  2. If aircraft fails to push back or taxi within 15 minutes after receipt of ATC clearance, pilot should notify ATC except when :

    1. Start-up or push-back is delayed due to traffic on the ground, or

    2. Aircraft departure is restricted by means of release time or the same altitude/route separation

1.2 
  1. All aircraft shall not exceed 250 kt IAS below 10 000 ft in SEOUL TMA, unless otherwise authorized by ATC. If unable to comply with this speed restriction, state minimum speed acceptable to ATC.

  2. ATC will use “NO ATC SPEED RESTRICTIONS” RTF phraseology to remove MAX 250 kt IAS below 10 000 ft.

  3. speed control under radar vector :

    1. When arriving traffic is being sequenced under radar direction, ATC typically will apply the following speed control :

      1. Initial approach phase : 210 kt IAS

      2. base leg/HDG to final approach : 180 kt IAS

      3. When established on final approach : 180 kt to 160 kt IAS

      4. Thereafter to 7.5 DME : 160 kt IAS

    2. These speed restrictions are essential for smooth and safe operations at high traffic loads. If an aircraft does not comply with these speed instructions, the aircraft may have to be excluded from the planned approach sequence.

    3. When ATC use “RESUME NORMAL SPEED“ RTF phraseology, it means that the previously issued speed restriction by ATC is cancelled and a pilot can resume an aircraft’s preferred speed. Pilot shall note that it does not mean the removal of MAX 250 kt IAS with in SEOUL TMA.

1.3

  1. Ceiling : at or above 1 000 ft (reported weather by the airport)

  2. Visibility : not less than 5 KM (3 SM)

  3. Circuit : west pattern only

1.5  Use of SID / STAR

For ATC separation, pilots are strongly encouraged to check whether he or she can comply with level restrictions of SID(before airborne) / STAR(before passing subsequent waypoint) or not.

  2. If unable to comply with any restrictions depicted on SID or STAR, pilot shall notify ATC as early as possible.

  3. To eliminate safety risk due to a mismatch between ATC and pilot expectations, ATC will provide aircraft with explicit indications with regard to what is expected in terms of speed and level at all times using “CANCEL (LEVEL/SPEED) RESTRICTIONS” or “COMPLY WITH (LEVEL/SPEED) RESTRICTIONS” RTF phraseology.

1.6  Initial Radio Call Procedures with SEOUL APPROACH

RKSS AD 2.23   ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

  1. Bird concentrations in the vicinity of the airport

    1. Summer and Autumn

      White Heron appears from July to October, which is migrant. They build nests randomly on any field around the airport. Due to the resting and feeding activity, the flock activity in the aerodrome occurs from sunrise to sunset. Careful attention is needed during landing approach and take-off.

    2. Winter

      Between October and March of the coming year, migrant birds (mainly wild geese and ducks) build nests on Han river downstream (24 km north from Runway 14). The flock’s main activity apt to occur around the Gul-po stream close to the runway 14R and 14L area. Some part of the flock enter into the aerodrome for resting and feeding about an hour before sunrise till sunset. The flock size of one route is approximately 1 000 individuals. Sometimes the flock flies across the middle of the runways for their group movement in the daytime. The flying height varies from 200 ft to 1 000 ft.

    3. Intense activities of sedentary birds (pigeons and magpies) and seasonal activity of various migrants(wild geese, ducks, white heron and etc..) take place around the runways and the airport boundary during landing and take-off procedures.

    4. Also, Aerodrome operator estimates the bird activities and hazard to inform control tower of the possible hazard. Then the tower directly warns the aircraft pilots of the hazard. Dispersal activities for the birdstrike prevention performed by the aerodrome control team include random playback of distress noise (AV-alarm and Gas canon), elimination of the wildlife hazard using firearms and environmental control such as prohibiting wide farming activity.

  2. ATIS Telephone Service

    1. Hours of operation : 2000-1400 UTC

    2. ARS telephone number : +82-2-2660-2676

    3. Telephone service is reference only. For the flight operation, use ATIS on the FREQ 126.4 MHz, 317.8 MHz.
