Flight Procedures in VFR Route and Han-gang Corridor
Submit Flight plan for Approval
Helicopter pilots planning flights in VFR route have to submit the flight plan to CDC JAOC 2 hours in advance; in the case of an emergency, it may be submitted through line or wireless.
Some sections in the VFR route(CP-12 ~ CP-17) overlaps with P518 prohibited area but CDC JAOC is responsible for flight plan submission and approval. CDC JAOC in turn must notify MCRC of all approved flight plans.
Some sections in the VFR route(CP12 - CP17) overlaps with P518 prohibit area but CDC JAOC is responsible for flight plan submission and approval. CDC JAOC in turn must notify MCRC of all approved flight plans.
Flight altitude within VFR route(Southern Corridor) is limited in consideration of safety and noise control. Also, national flights serving public purposes and military helicopters will not be permitted if they are simply passing through, except only when necessary. Detailed flight procedures are provided in g.(1) Southern corridor.
CDC JAOC does not assign any SSR CODE to helicopters flying only in VFR route. JAOC uses its own radars to monitor any aircraft deviation from VFR route or violation into R75 and when needed, issues warning broadcasts using guard frequencies.

Entry procedures
Initial entry of the VFR route should be made via one of the checkpoints.
ROK/US Army helicopter pilots shall contact Guardian AIC prior to entering the P73 VFR route. Any other helicopter pilots should contact the MCRC prior to entering the VFR route for radar and radio contacts.
ROK/US Army helicopter pilots shall contact FCC Guardian prior to entering the P73 VFR route. Any other helicopter pilots should contact the MCRC prior to entering the VFR route for radar and radio contacts.
Flight procedures
After entering the VFR route, according to the above procedures, pilots will proceed flying by self-navigation while monitoring guard frequencies, and comply with the procedures of each corridor.
Major control obstacles near P73 VFR route are as shown in ENR 1.2-29. In addition, constructions of new skyscrapers call for more caution by the pilot.

Although CP-12 ~ CP-17 section of the VFR route(northern corridor) overlaps with P518 Prohibited area, pilots flying in P518 inside the VFR route must follow MCRC and CDC JAOC guidance.
Although CP12~CP17 section of the VFR route(northern corridor) overlaps with P518 Prohibit area, pilots flying in P518 inside the VFR route must follow MCRC and CDC JAOC guidance.
Pilots should maintain the designated altitude for each corridor. If pilots cannot maintain the designated altitude because of weather or other limitations, pilots should contact MCRC and notify their intentions and comply with MCRC instructions. The MCRC then notifies CDC JAOC of this situation.
To avoid air collisions between aircraft flying in different directions above Han-gang, the west-bound aircraft should fly over the north portion of the center line of the river while the east bound over south portion of the river. Except when evasive maneuvers are necessary to avoid air collisions, aircraft should fly over the center line of Han-gang.
<Aircraft flying through air traffic control area of Gimpo Airport, Yongsan Heliport or Seoul AB (K-16) and in/out of Susaek airfield shall adhere to respective flight procedures.

Routes CP-4 ~ CP-8 is close to the Gimpo Airport final approach course, and flight altitudes that provide sufficient separation from controlling barriers located in these routes are unavailable due to such proximity1). Detailed flight procedures are as follows :
1) The appropriate flight altitude in CP-4 ~ CP-8considering their controlling barriers(skyscrapers - 594 ft, etc) is 1 600 ft. These routes, however, are close to the Gimpo Airport final approach course(1 500 ft ~ 2 400 ft), and close encounters(TCAS alerts, etc.) with traffic in/outbound Gimpo airport are expected when flying at or above 1 600ft. Therefore, the flight altitude has been set at or above 1 100 ft(barrier height 594 ft + VFR route seperation minimum 500 ft ≒ 1 100 ft), and Gimpo Tower's approval is required before climbing.

Cautions
Watch out for power lines in CP-14 through CP-15.
Since CP-14 through CP-18 is a mountainous area, maintain designated altitude for radar observation and visual identification of the area.
Central 119 rescue team heliport(CG 334 704) is located between CP-18 and CP-19(when flying from CP-19 to CP-18, it is located 100 m to the right of Bulamsan tunnel entrance). Therefore be cautious of helicopter flights.
If it is difficult to clearly identify visual check points and maintain flight altitude between CP-15 and CP-19, depart the VFR route and fly along Road 39th and 43th.
Between CP-17 and CP-19 : Mountain Surak and Bulam are in the vicinity. Also close to final approach route of Seoul Airport. Use caution for visual separation. If required, contact Seoul Tower and fly as per the instruction of the Seoul Tower.

Cautions
Eastern corridor is close to or overlaps with Seoul AB(K-16) final approach course, so pilots must be careful of the in/out bound traffic from Seoul AB. Also, pilots must communicate with (VHF 126.2 MHz or UHF 236.6 MHz) and observe Seoul Tower regulations.
Eastern corridor is close to or overlaps with Seoul AB(K-16) final approach course, so pilots must be careful of the in/out bound traffic from Seoul AB. Also, pilots must communicate with (VHF 126.2 MHz or UHF 292.85 MHz) and observe Seoul Tower regulations.
Route CP-19 to CP-1 is close to Seoul AB (K-16) final approach course, so a vertical flight altitude separation from control barriers in the same route is limited.2) Therefore pilots must accurately identify surrounding control barriers and fly with caution. Pilots should also communicate with Seoul Tower and acquire Aviation Traffic Information. With Seoul Tower permit, pilots may fly above 2 000 ft AMSL.
2) Considering control barriers (skyscrapers - 630 ft etc.) in CP-19 ~ CP-1, the appropriate flight altitude is over 1 600 ft. The same route, however, is close to the Seoul AB (K-16) final approach course (2 900 ft ~ 1 000 ft). Thus when pilots maintain flight altitude at or above 1 600 ft, close encounters with in/out traffic from Seoul AB (K-16) might trigger TCAS alerts. Therefore, the flight altitude is set at 1 500 ft ~ 800 ft and with permit of Seoul Tower, pilots may elevate their flight altitude.
2) Considering control barriers (skyscrapers - 630 ft etc.) in CP-19~1, the appropriate flight altitude is over 1 600 ft. The same route, however, is close to the Seoul AB (K-16) final approach course (2 900 ft ~ 1 000 ft). Thus when pilots maintain flight altitude at or above 1 600 ft, close encounters with in/out traffic from Seoul AB (K-16) might trigger TCAS alerts. Therefore, the flight altitude is set at 1 500 ft ~ 800 ft and with permit of Gimpo Tower, pilots may elevate their flight altitude.
CDC JAOC will cooperate with Seoul Tower and restrain issuing warning broadcasts to helicopters flying through CP-20 and CP-21. (There were numerous cases in which Seoul Tower mistook helicopter to be flying in R75 and sent out warning broadcasts.)
CDC JAOC will cooperate with Seoul tower and restrain issuing warning broadcasts to helicopters flying through CP-20 and CP-21. (There were numerous cases in which Seoul Tower mistook helicopter to be flying in R75 and sent out warning broadcasts)
Arrival and departure from corridor is only allowed via CP-21 and CP-1, and in case of departure via CP-21, Misari HALO zone must be avoided.
In case of flight from CP-23 to CP-2, pilots must pass CP-1 to control noise and avoid densely populated areas (schools, apartment complexes, Lotte Tower). Direct flight is prohibited.
For safety reasons, helicopters passing through routes controlled by Seoul Tower wishing to fly besides the pre-determined VFR route must acquire permission from Seoul AB (K-16) JAOC and control tower 2 hours in advance.

Warning Broadcasting
If and when an aircraft penetrates the R75 Flight Restricted Area within prior notification or authorization, the MCRC and JAOC shall perform evacuation measures by issuing warning announcements and fireing flares.
The warning broadcasting will be issued simultaneously with V/UHF and FM(46.55 MHz) guard frequencies. In order to prevent interference of guard frequency warning broadcasting, the unoccupied control units shall not transmit by their guard radio while the other control unit is broadcasting. When using FM 46.55 MHz, coordinate with Guardian AIC.

The warning broadcasting will be issued simultaneously with V/UHF and FM(38.25 MHz) guard frequencies. In order to prevent interference of guard frequency warning broadcasting, the unoccupied control units shall not transmit by their guard radio while the other control unit is broadcasting. When using FM 33.25 MHz, coordinate with FCC Guardian.
Warning Fire etc.
Despite repelling actions such as warning broadcasting according to the b. Warning Broadcasting (1), if the aircraft and such continues to demonstrate aggressive maneuvers (noncompliance with controlled speed, dive, deviation from planned altitude or route) and flies towards P73 NFZ, the CDC commander can take necessary tactical actions such as firing warning shots.
If the aircraft and such continues to demonstrate aggressive maneuvers (noncompliance with controlled speed, dive, deviation from planned altitude or route) and intrudes into P73 NFZ despite the warning shots, it will be considered a hostile act, and the CDC commander may shoot it down in accordance with the rules of engagement(ROE).
If a civil aircraft without approval is identified to have entered R75 Restricted Area due to an unavoidable reason (weather, communications failure, mistake in navigation, malfunction of flight control equipment, etc.), warning shots will not be conducted, but the situation of such aircraft must be tracked by communication with air traffic control center or aircraft, and take repelling actions if necessary. However, if the aircraft does not follow the repelling action and continues to demonstrate aggressive maneuvers (noncompliance with controlled speed, dive, deviation from planned altitude or route), the CDC commander may use armament in self-defense.
If a civil IFR aircraft is considered to fly into the P73 or inside of the R75 Restricted Area with an unavoidable reason(bad weather, communications failure, malfunctioning of flight control equipment or HI-JACKED or etc.), the ATC facilities must provide necessary information such as violation reason and information of the aircraft (call sign, nationality, type of aircraft, current position, final departing point, destination, operating GAG frequency, known VIPs, POB, fuel on board and other information as required) to the MCRC and AOC immediately.
If the civil aircraft which is committing flight violation was notified by the ATC facilities with the above information, the aircraft will be considered as [unavoidable P73 flight positively identified as civil aircraft]and will not be shot-down.
If the civil aircraft which is committing flight violation was notified by the ATC facilities with the above information, the aircraft will be considered as 『unavoidable P73 flight positively identified as civil aircraft』and will not be shot-down.
If CDC commander receives a report regarding a violation flight by a civil aircraft, or CDC has acknowledged such flight, CDC JAOC must verify whether the flight was unavoidable with the air traffic control center via direct phone call before conducting warning shots.
If CDC commander receives a report regarding a violation flight by a civil aircraft, or CDC has acknowledged such flight, CDC JAOC must verify whether the flight was unavoidable with the air traffic control center via direct phone call before conducting warning shots.
If and when an aircraft or another entity intrudes into P73B without prior authorization despite issuing warning announcements according to the b. Warning Broadcasting (1), CDC commander can fire warning shots against such penetrator.
In case the aircraft or entity continues to intrude into P73A despite having fired the warning shots, it will be considered as a hostile act and can therefore be shot down. This does not apply to identified civil aircraft. This does not mean, however, that civil aircraft without prior authorization can fly the Flight Prohibited Area without any inevitable reason, and if the civil aircraft is deemed (based on its airspeed, altitude, heading) to attempting to harm intentionally such facilities as critical national infrastructures, it can be shot down.
If a civil IFR aircraft is considered to fly into the P73 or inside of the R75 Restricted Area with an unavoidable reason(communications failure, malfunctioning of flight control equipment or HI-JACKED or etc.), the ATC facilities must provide necessary information such as violation reason and information of the aircraft (call sign, nationality, type of aircraft, current position, final departing point, destination, operating GAG frequency, known VIPs, POB, fuel on board and other information as required) to the MCRC and AOC immediately.
If the civil aircraft which is committing flight violation was notified by the ATC facilities with the above information, the aircraft will be considered as 『unavoidable P73 flight positively identified as civil aircraft』and will not be shot-down.
If CDC receives a report regarding as violation aircraft which may be civilian aircraft, then it must verify whether or not it is a unavoidable flight.
Not identified aircraft Intercept procedures
If and when unidentified targets penetrate into the the R75 Flight Restricted Area, CDC commander and MCRC shall firstly order its evacuation by issuing warning announcements.
If the unidentified target does not respond to the warning broadcasts and continues to fly within the R75 Flight Restricted Area, and if an hostile activity can be clearly anticipated based on its position, flight heading, and/or airspeed (descending towards P73 without changes to route and speed), or if such an activity has already taken place, CDC commander shall take appropriate actions in accordance with rules of engagement and related laws.
If the unidentified target does not respond to the warning announcements and continues to fly within the R75 Flight Restricted Area, if an hostile activity can be clearly anticipated based on its position, flight heading, and/or airspeed, or if such an activity has already taken place, CDC commander shall takeappropriate actions in accordance with rules of engagement and related laws.
Identification and Intercept by tactical aircraft should be conducted outside the P73 in principle. However, if intercept within the P73 is required, coordination with the MCRC should be made.
Strobe Light Operations
Visual Warning lights (strobe lights) are installed by the CDC around P73 boundary and operating for ease identifying P73 area boundary during night, operating strobe lights are located as to [Table 5]. If required additional strobe lights can be established.
