• (3) Policy

  • (a) The AOC will control the airspace of (RK) P-73 in compliance with this guide and the existing regulations. If needed, AOC will be supported by MCRC.

  • (b) To insure full implementation of the procedures in this guide, all authorities concerned should revise and supplement their existing regulations and flight information publications, (FLIP, AIP)and disseminate these procedures appropriately.

  • (c) Authorities planning on conducting flight or any air activities within the R-75 Restricted Area must coordinate with the Capital Defense Command before the activity. However, aircraft flying VFR route and/or in/out the K-16 AFB by submitting a flight plan in advance may conduct air activities within the restricted area without any pre-approval coordination.

  • (d) All pilots who are to fly as required by these procedures must plan to avoid flying over all apartment complexes, densely populated areas and school areas as possible as they can during their flight planning and at night pilots must be turn on all aircraft exterior lights.

  • (e) Aircrafts flying along the Han-gang Corridor must operate between the south and north edges of the Han river, visually identifying both edges of the river.

  • (f) Aircrafts without SSR/TRANSPONDER can not fly along the VFR routes or inside of the P-73 Buffer Zone.

  • (g) Night flights inside of the P-73 Buffer Zone are prohibited with the exception of rescue flights in case of disaster or calamity, forest fire and fire fighting flights, urgent medical evacuation flights, urgent situations due to public purpose such as necessary activity for public well-fare and maintaining public order etc and the flights which is necessary for military operations (area familiarization flights).

  • (h) Fixed wing aircraft flight in the vicinity of VFR route means that flight within INM from VFR route when aircraft velocity is under 180KTS and 3NM from VFR route when aircraft velocity is at or over 180 KTS.

  • (i) When operating within the P-73, one must follow the security procedures (boarding of security agent, knowing urgent signaling, route/altitude deviation order and flight restriction) established by the CDC.

  • (j) Weather limits of VFR route apply based on the weather which set out in the aviation law.

VFR Route and Han-gang Corridor

The VFR route and Han-gang corridor in the vicinity of the (RK) P-73 are divided as follows:

• (1) VFR route (refer to table 2 and ENR 1.2-17)

  • (a) Southern Corridor : CP-1 through CP-8

  • (b) Western Corridor : CP-8 through CP-14

  • (c) Northern Corridor : CP-14 through CP-19

  • (d) Eastern Corridor : CP-19 through CP-1

• (2) HAN-GANG CORRIDOR

  • (a) Yongsan corridor: YP-1 through YP-11(refer to table 3 and ENR 1.2-17)

  • (b) Nodulseom corridor: JP-1 through JP-6 (refer to table 4 and ENR 1.2-17)

• (3) To allow evasive maneuvers among helicopters flying VFR route, airspace within 500M of both sides of the VFR route is regarded as VFR route flights.

Flight Procedures of VFR Route

• (1) Entry procedures

  • (a) Initial entry of the VFR route should be made via one of the checkpoints.

  • (b) ROK/US Army helicopters shall contact Guardian AIC prior to entering the P-73 VFR route. Any other helicopter pilots, should contact the MCRC prior to entering the VFR route for radio contacts with a controlling unit.

• (2) Flight procedures

  • (a) 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.

  • (b) Pilots should maintain the designated altitude. If pilots cannot maintain the designated altitude to maintain radar contact during the flight along the VFR route due to weather conditions or any other reason, contact the MCRC and notify pilot’s intention then comply with the provided instructions. The MCRC shall notify CDC AOC of this situation.

  • (c) To avoid air collisions of aircraft flying on the centerline of Han-gang, the west-bound aircraft should fly over north portion of the center line of the river while the east bound over south portion of the centerline of the river. Except when evasive maneuvers are necessary to avoid air collisions, aircraft should remain over the Han-gang.

  • (i) Cautions

    • 1) Pilots flying between CP-4 and CP-6, should take caution to Gimpo International Airport traffics because the route is adjacent to the final approach course and when necessary contact Gimpo Tower(VHF 118.1Mhz , UHF 240.9Mhz) or Seoul Approach Control(119.1Mhz, 363.8Mhz) for traffic information.

    • 2) All flights, intending to fly to the CP-7 or CP-9 must fly via the CP-8 for noise abatement of populated areas.

    • 3) Pilots intending to exit the corridor via CP-8, must contact Gimpo Tower(VHF 118.1Mhz , UHF 240.9Mhz) and request permission for transiting Gimpo RWY 32L/R final course.

    • 4) Pilots flying CP-7 ~ CP-11, should contact Gimpo Tower(VHF 118.1MHz , UHF 240.9MHz) to get permission to cross the airport surface area before entry.

    • 5) Helicoptors flying CP-21～CP-3 must get permission from Seoul Tower and comply with the instructions. passing CP-23 altitude should be below 1 000FT AMSL and for CP-22 below 800FT AMSL. In no case shall not enter flying out of a specified altitude(or ATC authority’s designated altitude) or without Seoul Tower permissions.

  • (d) Between CP-11(North end of Gimpo Bridge) and CP-12(Goyang IC) : fly along Seoul Ring Road(Seouloegwaksunhwan Expressway)

  • (e) Between CP-12(Goyang IC) and CP-13(Tongillo IC) : fly along Seoul Ring Road

  • (f) Between CP- 13(Tongillo IC) and CP-14(Yangju TG) : fly along Seoul Ring Road

  • (g) Corridor altitude : 1 500FT AMSL or above

  • (h) Cautions

    • 1) Power lines are located between CP-8 and CP-9 and overlap with Han-gang corridor.

    • 2) Since western corridor is located near Susaek(G-113) airport traffic area, between CP-8 and CP-12, pilots should avoid Susaek traffics.

    • 3) Watch out for power lines located between CP-11 through CP-14.

    • 4) Pilots flying CP-7 ~ CP-11, should contact Gimpo Tower(VHF 118.1Mhz , UHF 240.9Mhz) to get permission to cross the airport surface area before entry.

    2. 2) Between CP-15 (Songchu IC) and CP-17 (Uijungbu IC): 2 500 ft MSL or above

    3. 3) Between CP-17 (Uijungbu IC) and CP-19 (Tyegaewon IC): 2 000 ft MSL or above

  • (f) Cautions

    • 1) Watch out for power lines in CP-14 through CP-15

    • 2) Since CP-14 through CP-18 is a mountain area maintain designated altitude for radar observation and visual identification of the area.

    • 3) Central 119 rescue team heliport(CG 334 704) locates between CP-18 and CP-19(when flying from CP-19 to CP-18, it is located 100m to the right of Bulamsan tunnel entrance). Therefore be cautious of helicopters flights.

    • 4) 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 43 th.

    • 2) Between CP-20(Guri IC) and CP-21(North end of Gangdong Bridge) : maintain 1 300FT AMSL

    • 3) Between CP-21(North end of Gangdong Bridge) and CP-23(Midpoint of Jamsil Bridge) : maintain 800FT AMSL

    • 4) Between CP-23(Midpoint of Jamsil Bridge) and CP-1(Cheongdam Bridge) : maintain 1 000FT AMSL or above

  • (g) Cautions

    • 1) G-203(Toegyewon) and Seoul AB(K-16) final approach course are close to the Eastern corridor, and be careful of the traffics of the above airfields.

    • 2) Helicopters flying through between CP-19 and CP-23 maintain radio contact with Seoul tower and comply Seoul AB local flight procedures and Seoul tower’s control instructions between CP-20 and CP-23. However the AOC will cooperate with Seoul tower and restrict warning broadcast for helicopters flying through between CP-20 and CP-21.

    • 3) Arrival and departure is only allowed through CP-21 and CP-1, and a flight across from CP-23 to CP-2 is prohibited.

    • 4) Avoid flight over densely populated areas near the Corridor and Walker Hill resort area.

    • 5) The helicoptor which flying the area of control by Seoul Tower, If need to fly not the stated VFR Route have to get the pr-permission from Seoul AOC and Tower through the line unless before 2 hours for the safe.
