1.1  Pilots are strongly required to monitor VHF 121.5 MHz when flying within SEOUL TMA.

1.2  Pilots shall exercise extreme caution to avoid penetrating Prohibited Area (P 518, P 73A/B, etc) or Special Use Airspace (ACMI, R17, etc), especially when flying north of NCN R-270 and R-080 around Incheon INTL Airport. (Refer to RKSI AD 2.19 Radio Navigation and landing Aids.)

1.3  Pilots should always make sure that microphones are not stuck in the transmitting position before transmission in order to prevent frequency blockage (stuck mike) from impairing ATC.

1.4  Runway Efficient Use Program

This program is prepared to reduce runway occupancy time of aircraft and to maximize the efficiency of runway use, which might subsequently contribute to saving fuel consumption and avoiding unnecessary aircraft delays.

1. All aircraft should vacate the appropriate runway via the following 'Rapid Exit Taxiways' after landing, unless otherwise cleared or instructed by ATC.

   (1) For aircraft proceeding to Passenger Terminal, after landing :

   - on runway 33R, proceed via taxiway C4

   - on runway 33L, proceed via taxiway B5

   - on runway 15L, proceed via taxiway C2

   - on runway 15R, proceed via taxiway B3

   - on runway 34, proceed via taxiway N5

   - on runway 16, proceed via taxiway N3

   (2) For aircraft proceeding to Cargo Terminal, after landing :

   - on runway 33R, proceed via taxiway D6

   - on runway 15L, proceed via taxiway D1

2. The above procedures are not applied when one of the following adverse conditions exist :

   (1) A runway is adversely contaminated whenever standing water, ice, snow, slush, or other substances are present.

   (2) Low visibility procedures(LVP) are in operation, or

   (3) The cross-wind component including gust exceeds 15 KT, or

   (4) The tailwind component including gust exceeds 5 KT, or

   (5) Wind-shear has been reported, or

   (6) Any other abnormal condition of aircraft, airport or ATC system exist.

3. In case of inability to comply with the above procedures, notify ATC of the reason including intended taxiway to be used, as practical as possible.

4. To reduce departure runway occupancy time, Pilots are recommended to comply with the following procedures;

   (1) Notify ATC that you need extra time to ready aircraft for takeoff or additional departure spacing well before departure. This is to assist ATC in sequencing traffic and reduce unexpected delay on the ground.

   (2) React promptly to takeoff clearance and line up without delay when cleared through minimizing checks on the runway.

   (3) With exception of intersection departures, a conditional line up clearance to follow another departing aircraft means that you can proceed past the holding position. The second aircraft should be entering the runway as soon as the first commences its take off roll and ATC will use the following phraseology when gives a conditional line up clearance.

   - "Behind (departing aircraft type) Line up Runway (runway designation)"

   (4) If you receive take off clearance prior to reaching the notified line up position, ATC expects you to take off immediately from your current position.

5. The use of idle reverse thrust is strongly recommended, consistent with safe operating procedures.

1.5  Preferential RWY System

The runway 33L/R or 34 is recommended to be in use to the extent of 8 kts tailwind. If unable to comply with this procedure, notify ATC of the reason 20 minutes prior to ETD or ETA. Delay may be possible depend on traffic situation.

1.6  Inbound Cargo aircrafts to Incheon Airport are required to advise Seoul Approach which to be Cargo.

1.7  Runway operation information

Time(UTC)	Departure	Arrival
00:00~12:00	15R/33L, 16/34	15L/33R, 16/34
12:00~00:00	15L/33R or 15R/33L

※ The above times and runways in use may be changed if necessary due to ATC purposes, weather, ground conditions and traffic volume.

2.1  Transponder

Pilots should always operate transponders with XPDR(and AUTO if available) except for fully parking aircraft on stand.

3.1  ATC clearance

aircraft shall obtain ATC clearance from Incheon Delivery prior to push-back.

3.2  Procedures for start-up and push back

1. When the pilot is ready for start-up and pushback, the pilot shall contact Incheon Apron and provide the following:

   (1) Call sign

   (2) Gate/Stand number

   (3) Release time(International departures only)

2. Ground crews (Ground handler, aircraft maintenance) must ensure that the area behind the aircraft shall be clear of vehicles, equipment and other obstructions prior to engine start-up or aircraft push back for smooth and safe aircraft movements.

3. A pilot shall confirm with ground crews (Ground handler, aircraft maintenance) whether there is no hazard to the aircraft starting up. The pilot shall not ask Incheon Apron for engine start-up and push back until its safety check-up is fully confirmed. If there is any elements posing a potential failure, the pilot shall ask Incheon Apron for push back only. After moving and standing the aircraft at a safety area, the pilot can ask the engine start-up.

4. All aircraft to be taxied within the Apron shall fix their engine thrusts on an Idle. In case of using breakaway thrust, it should be used to a minimum.

5. Push back is to begin promptly after approval. The pushback procedures of the aircraft within the Apron are as follows. As with most, these procedures shall be kept. However, if any modification of the procedures is required as the case may be, Incheon Apron may give the pilot specific instructions suited for the safety of aircraft movement.

6. The smaller aircraft(business jets) ingress and egress procedures at the aircraft stand 612 and at designated deicing pads shall follow the instructions of Incheon Apron. Deicing pads are self-maneuvering stands (i.e. taxi out with no push-back)

7. There are several blue lines in Apron 1

   Locations : Right behind Gates 9, 15, 21, 22, 32, 33, 39 and 45 The aircraft of those gates shall be pushed back along blue line until their nose-wheels are on the specific taxilane.

8. To avoid delay to other aircraft using 'Apron 1' area, aircraft should be ready to taxi as soon as the push-back manoeuvre and engine start procedure are completed. The push-back for gate 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 33, 34, 35, 36 is onto taxilane R7, therefore to avoid delays to other traffic it is essential that the aircraft should be ready to taxi as soon as the push-back manoeuvre is completed. If aircraft are unable to comply with these procedures, pilots shall immediately inform Incheon Apron in order that alternative taxi instructions may be issued to other aircraft.

9. When an aircraft have any problem which can’t make it taxi right after push back, the pilot should report to Apron control. And then the pilot will be instructed to return gate or to move other place to avoid blocking taxilanes.

10. Delays may be expected due to other aircraft to pushback or to taxi as distances between aircraft gates/stands vary

11. The following tables describe the procedures for pushback of aircraft from gates with airbridges and stands. Incheon Apron will issue specific instructions to the pilot if it is necessary to expedite traffic movement. Most gates and stands have several pushback procedures. Pushback instructions shall be issued including direction (only 4 directions are used) or specific position when necessary. Incheon Apron will issue a pushback instruction according to the use of runway or certain traffic condition.

12. When The aircraft push back onto taxilane R2 or R3 with facing south, the pilot shall be taxied with idle power for ground safety.

3.3  Taxi routes for departure runway 15R, 33L from cargo apron.

To protect GP signals of ILS of RWY 15L and 33R, expect taxi routes for departure from cargo apron as follows unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

1. Departure RWY 15R : Cargo apron - Taxiway D - K - C - L to RWY 15R

3. Pilot shall be cautious of the following things.

   1. If an aircraft is unable to follow any instrument flight procedure after considering requirements for aircraft equipments, restrictions (climb rate, altitude restrictions and so on) on STAR or SID, pilot shall request the alternative procedure (before departure for SID) to ATC.

   2. Altitude restrictions are established based on obstacle clearance, airspace, letter of agreement between air traffic control facilities including ones in adjacent FIRs. So if aircraft report it can not follow some restrictions after airborne it may create significant negative impact on aviation safety. In case aircraft can not meet any requirement or follow restriction after airborne, it may be dealt as violation of regulations.

   3. Compliance with level/altitude restriction on SID or STAR which includes level/ altitude restrictions.

      1) Pilot must always comply with the level/altitude restrictions as published unless such restrictions are explicitly cancelled by ATC.

      2) After ATC clears intermediate level/altitude with SID or STAR designator and ATC re-clears higher or lower than initially cleared level/altitude, pilot must comply with all level/altitude restrictions on SID or STAR(including minimum altitudes based on terrain clearance) unless ATC cancel such restrictions explicitly.

1.6  Readback of ATC clearance

1. The pilot shall read back always to ATC safety-related parts of ATC clearances for at least the following items;

   1. ATC route clearances

   2. clearances and instructions to enter, land on, take off from, hold short of, cross, taxi and backtrack on any runway

   3. runway-in-use, altimeter settings, SSR codes, level instructions, heading and speed instructions

2. Other clearances or instructions, including conditional clearances, shall be read back or acknowledged in a manner to clearly indicate that they have been understood and will be complied with.

1.7  CDO(Continuous Descent Operation) PROCEDURE FOR INCHEON AD

1. The CDO procedures are in place for all aircraft flying on Y644, Y722, G585 and G597 inbound to Incheon international airport to ensure efficient arrival and approach operation as far as possible during specified time.

   1. Operation time : 1400 ~ 1900 UTC

   2. Available RWY : 33 L/R

   3. Available procedures : BIKSI 1M, CUN 1M, MAKSA 1M, GONAV 2M

2. ATC instructions

   Incheon ACC will instruct the aircraft to perform CDO when it enter Incheon FIR, as follows :

   - Phraseology controller : (Call sign), Cleared CUN(yecheon) 1M arrival. Speed & descent at pilot‘s discretion(Report leaving)

   ※ The above instruction(Phraseology) may be changed if necessary.

3. Pilots should report ATC when leaving the altitude of the Top of Descent(TOD)

   - Phraseology pilot : Incheon control, (Call sign), Now leaving

   ※ Reference point of descending : PULUN(IAF) at 7 000 ft

4. Pilots may maintain the ECON(Economical) SPEED on the FMS, unless ATC advises otherwise.

5. If the CDO procedure is not possible due to an emergency, weather conditions and traffic an alternate instruction will be issued by ATC or pilot can request it.

2.1  VFR PROCEDURE

1. VFR Weather minimum : VFR flight will be permitted under the condition as below

   1. Ground Visibility : Not less than 5 KM (3 SM)

   2. Ceiling : at or above 450 m (1 500 ft)

2. VFR Reporting points : Refer to Page RKSI AD 2-41.

3. VFR Traffic circuit : Refer to Page RKSI AD 2-40.

4. VFR Pattern Altitude

   1. Helicopter

      2) South Pattern for H1, H2 : 800 ft AMSL

   2. Fixed wing : 1 500 ft AMSL

5. VFR Flight procedure

   1. VFR aircraft shall maintain two way radio communication and get permission to enter Class B airspace from Seoul Approach Control except

      1) When landing and departing within Incheon Control Zone via VFR reporting points.

      2) to transiting through Incheon Control Zone.

   2. When landing on or taking off from H1, H2, helicopter shall use caution for separation from IFR traffic. Helicopter shall contact Incheon TWR prior to departure and delay may be possible for separation between IFR and VFR traffic.

   3. Helicopters flying between "Z" and "Y" point along SIHWA breakwater shall maintain at or below 1 000 ft AMSL to ensure the safety of IFR takeoff and landing traffic from/to Incheon INTL airport.

   4. As practical as possible, pilot should avoid congested areas, hospital, school, institute and so on (especially airport town near "D" point).

2.2  Special VFR

1. Special VFR flight for taking off or landing may only be permitted except helicopters, when

   1. The ground visibility is not less than 1 500 m.

   2. If ground visibility is not reported at airport, flight visibility is not less than 1 500 m (transition).

2. For Special VFR operations, the pilot shall :

   1. fly only within control zone as cleared by Incheon Tower.

   2. remain clear of clouds.

   3. maintain at least 1 500 m of flight visibility.

   4. maintain visual reference with surface or water.

   5. Special VFR may be permitted only between sunrise and sunset unless the pilot is instrument rated and the aircraft is equipped for IFR flight in accordance with the requirement specified in civil aeronautics law.

      (Except helicopters)

3.1  In VMCs:

1) Squawk 7600

2) Continue to fly in VMC

3) Land at nearest suitable aerodrome

3.2  In IMCs or when conditions are such that it does not appear likely that the pilot will complete the flight in accordance with 3.1 :
