  1. General

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

    - 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.

  2. VMC

    If the failure occurs in VFR conditions, or if VFR condition are encountered after the failure, each pilot shall continue the flight under VFR and land as soon as practicable (based on the runway in use).

  3. IMC

    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 :

    1. DEPARTURE

      1. Under Pilot Navigation

        1) SACHEON 6 : Maintain at or below 7 000 FT until SCN/SAC R-360/D10, then proceed by the route, altitude/flight level assigned at the last ATC clearance received.

        2) SACHEON 7 : Maintain at or below 7 000 FT until SCN/SAC R-200/D10, then proceed by the route, altitude/flight level assigned at the last ATC clearance received. Under Radar Vectoring

        3) Proceed by the direct route from the point of radio failure to the fix, route, or airway specified in the vector clearance;

        4) in the absence of an assigned route, proceed by the route that ATC will advise through the forthcoming clearance; or

        5) in the absence of an assigned route or a route that ATC will advise through the forthcoming clearance, proceed by the route filed in the flight plan; and

        6) Maintain minimum enroute altitude(MEA) or the altitude/flight level cleared in the last ATC clearance received, whichever is higher, for 20 minutes; then

        7) Continue the flight with altitude/flight level filed in the flight plan

    2. ARRIVAL

      1. RWY 06 in use

        1) in VMC

        - The aircraft shall maintain VFR and make approach to land on RWY 06L/R.

        2) in IMC

        - The aircraft shall proceed to SOLYI IAF and execute (LOC/DME RWY 06L, VOR/DME RWY 06L, VOR/DME RWY 06R) APP.

      2. RWY 24 in use

        1) in VMC

        - The aircraft shall maintain VFR and make approach to land on RWY 24L/R.

        2) in IMC

        - The aircraft shall proceed to CANTO IAF and execute (ILS RWY 24R, LOC/DME RWY 24R, VOR/DME RWY 24R, VOR/DME RWY 24L) APP.

        * If able Civil aircraft is to use RWY 06L/24R

3.2 

VFR

VFR flight which has experienced radio communication failure

- Squawk Mode 3/A code 7600, and

- When able to see light gun signal of control tower, follow that instruction

- If unable to see light gun signal of control tower, hold on downwind until ETA or for 10minutes, whichever is later, then

- Aircraft on north pattern should land on RWY in use

- Pilot shall use caution traffic landing and departing traffic.


RKPS AD 2.23   ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1  CAUTION
  1. Instrument student flight training in progress(All aircraft use extreme caution)

    • - HR : 2300-0900 UTC

    • - Area : Within 15 NM of aerodrome

    • - Altitude : Between 2 000 FT and 10 000 FT

  2. Bird concentrations in the vicinity of airport

    The area around Sacheon Airport is close to the seaside and is composed of wide farmland, so the activities of birds are frequent.

    The pilots shall be careful of bird strikes.

    • - During one hour to two hours after daily sunrise, from January until March, and from October to December, The flock of mallards fly from resting area (approximately 1~2 KM to the threshold of RWY 06L) to feeding area(farmlands, waterway or airport).

      Also, from April until September in every year, birds which are mainly white-plumed egret and grey heron move from resting area(mountains which are located in approximately 4 KM far away from airport) to feeding area(vicinity of airport).

      Besides, resident birds, such as magpie and skylark, sparrow, move in and out agricultural area near airport.

    • - The activity altitude of birds is from 0 to 500 FT(150 M). Also, before daily sunset, when returning to the resting area activities of the birds occur above the same way during one hour or two hours.

    • - Air traffic control tower shall offer pilots information about the birds's movement and estimated activity altitude.

    • - Furthermore, preventive activities against bird strikes, such as playing the spasmodic distress signal, operating explosive sounds using by gas, and firing a gun by member of B.A.T(Bird Alert Team) which scare birds away, shall be carried out.

      Also, it is difficult to completely remove the bird strike risk, but the measures for eliminating resting or feeding area of birds is being taken in the airport boundary. On the properties of airport farming, garbage treatment facilities are not permitted.
