3.  VFR Procedure
3.1  VFR Approach Procedure(Entering VFR Pattern)

All aircraft approaching and landing at GWANGJU Airbase should contact GWANGJU APP(#5 : 319.2 MHz, #C2 : 130.0 MHz) and follow the VFR approach procedure when entering GWANGJU TCA or maintaining altitude at or above 8 500 ft and 30 NM from airbase. After arriving at the VFR Entry Point or the runway insight, contact the Control Tower on CH 2(FREQ 254.6 MHz) or CH B(FREQ 118.05 MHz) and land as the tower instructed.

  1. Jet aircraft

    1. When RWY 04 in use

      1. Aircraft approaching from north will pass through the JANGSUNG(R 360/10 NM) at 6 500 ft, OVERSTATION at 5 000 ft, and then South T.P(R 187/9 NM) at 4 000 ft for Initial.

      2. Aircraft approaching from southwest/southeast will pass through the WOLCHUL Mountain(R 200/23 NM) at 7 500 ft/ 6 500 ft and then South T.P(R 187/9 NM) at 4 000 ft for Initial.

      3. Aircraft approaching from east will pass through the MUDEUNG Mountain(R 100/10 NM) at 6 500 ft and then South T.P(R 187/9 NM) at 4 000 ft for Initial.

      4. Aircraft approaching from east will pass through the WEST P.T(R 325/10 NM) at 6 500 ft, OVERSTATION at 5 000 ft, and then South T.P(R 187/9 NM) at 4 000 ft for Initial.

    2. When RWY 22 in use

      1. Aircraft approaching from east will pass through the JANGSUNG(R 360/10 NM) at 6 500 ft, OVERSTATION at 5 000 ft, and then North T.P(R 072/10 NM) at 5 000 ft for Initial.

      2. Aircraft approaching from southwest/southeast will pass through the WOLCHUL Mountain (R 200/23 NM) at 7 500 ft/6 500 ft, South T.P(R 187/9 NM) at 5 000 ft, and then North T.P(R 072/10 NM) at 5 000 ft for Initial.

      3. Aircraft approaching from east will pass through the MUDEUNG Mountain(R 100/10 NM) at 6 500 ft and then North T.P(R 072/10 NM) at 5 000 ft for Initial.

      4. Aircraft approaching from west will pass through the WEST P.T(R 325/10 NM) at 6 500 ft, OVERSTATION at 5 000 ft, and then North T.P(R 072/10 NM) at 5 000 ft for Initial.

  2. Cargo and Light aircraft

    VFR approaching aircraft should contact GWANGJU APP(#5 : 319.2 MHz, #C2 : 130.0 MHz) prior to 30 NM from airbase and request clearance for approach and land. When entering within 10 NM radius, maintain at or below 2 000 ft.

    1. Aircraft approaching from northeast of the airbase will pass through North T.P(R 072/10 NM), and enter the downwind at 1 000 ft via outside of GWANGJU CITY.

    2. Aircraft approaching from southwest of the airbase will pass through South T.P(R 187/9 NM), and enter the downwind at 1 000 ft.

  3. Helicopter

    All helicopters landing at GWANGJU airbase should request landing clearance to Control Tower(121.8 MHz) and use the west pattern. If overflight over the R14 is required, pilot must verify R14 active time with the control tower.

    1. Helicopters approaching from the north and northeast will fly along Hanam Industrial Complex Outer road via B P.T(GWANGJU T.G R 010/7.7 NM), and pass over the A P.T(Gwangju Woman's University R 001/2.5 NM), SONGJEONG overpass to land at the airbase. Otherwise, fly along Route 13 via E P.T(GWANGSAN I.C R 020/6 NM) and then over SONGJEONG overpass to land at the base.

    2. Helicopters approaching from the south or southeast will fly over C P.T(NAJU R 225/6.5 NM) and SONGJEONG overpass to land at the base.

    3. Flight across the Final Approach Course (East ↔ West in flight)

      1. RWY 04 : All helicopters approaching from the northeast can cross 5 NM[G P.T(SAMGAK-DONG R 060/7.5 NM) ↔ E P.T(GWANGSAN I.C R 020/6 NM)] on departure corridor at 700 ft after received clearance from the control tower.

      2. RWY 22 : All helicopters flying from the southeast to west of base can cross the departure corridor 6.5 NM[D P.T(SONGNIMJE R 187/7 NM) ↔ C P.T(NAJU R 225/6.5 NM)] at 700 ft after received clearance from the control tower.

    4. When entering the control zone from other areas, contact the Control Tower prior to entering 5 NM radius and follow instructions from the tower for landing.

3.2  Departure Procedure

All VFR departing aircraft should notify the tower of planned flying direction when on the ground and obtain permission for departure. Change frequency to DEP(347.2 MHz, 124.0 MHz) then take-off to climb along the departure corridor, fly in the desired direction and leave VFR Pattern with the approval of the DEP controller. The helicopter should leave VFR pattern with the approval of the Tower(236.6 MHz, 118.05 MHz).

However, Hot Scramble Departure aircraft stationed in Gwangju should take-off with remaining on #2(254.6 MHz), and contact MCRC when reaching safe altitude.

  1. JET

    1. All VFR departing jet aircraft should climb along the departure corridor and leave the VFR pattern in the desired direction.

    2. Departure corridor

      1. RWY 04 : R 037/10 NM, At or above 3 000 ft, Width left and right 1 NM

      2. RWY 22 : R 217/5 NM, At or above 1 500 ft, Width left and right 1 NM

  2. Conventional / Light aircraft

    1. Light or conventional aircraft can leave the VFR pattern after obtaining permission from the departure or Tower controller if they reach safe altitude after take-off.

    2. Light Aircraft, helicopters or conventional aircraft must not climb higher than 2 000 ft within 10 NM radius after leaving VFR pattern.

    3. When leaving the VFR pattern toward west of the airbase, be careful not to enter the Army Hight Angle Shooting Range(R14).

  3. Helicopter

    The Helicopter must take off at the designated place(the Army Air Corps, in front of the U.S. Army station, TWY in front of Gate 4).

    1. Take-off on RWY 04

      Take off along the western lawn of the 'MAIN TWY', then leave the VFR Pattern at the end of the runway(maintain at or below 300 ft) to the west, or maintain between 300 and 500 ft to leave toward north via E P.T(GWANGSAN I.C R 020/6 NM) or B P.T(GWANGJU T.G R 010/7.7 NM). (Use cautions about Helicopters entering VFR Pattern along the highway.)

    2. Take-off on RWY 22

      Take off along the western lawn of the 'MAIN TWY' and maintain at or below 300 ft at the end of the runway. Leave toward west and north after passing Hwang-ryong river.

      ※ Departure corridor crossing flight should cross the corridor after take-off as the same as helicopter landing procedure.

3.3  Any aircraft that intends to use a procedure other than the above procedures, follow the local procedures of GWANGJU airbase and obtain approval from the ATC controller.
  
4.  RADIO COMMUNICATION FAILURE PROCEDURE
4.1  IFR
  1. General

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

    2. 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 procedure.

  2. VFR condition

    If the failure to radio communication occurs in VFR conditions, or if VFR conditions are encountered after the failure, a pilot shall continue the flight under VFR and land as soon as practicable based on the runway in use.

  3. IFR condition

    If the failure occurs in IFR condition, or if the requirements specified in paragraph 2 of this section cannot be met, a pilot shall continue the flight according to the following procedures.

RKJJ AD 2.23   ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

  1. Special VFR not Authorized.

  2. Bird concentrates in the vicinity of airport.

    The birds' feeding areas consist of surrounding farmland and greens along the river and they frequently move to get their habitat (located QDR 300°, 5 000 M from end of RWY 22R). In the winter, the ducks frequently move at the rise and the set of sun and the lapwings frequently fly before sunset. In the summer, the egrets at the rise of sun and the snipes at the set of sun fly most frequently.

    The flying heights are various such as from the ground to 600 M.

    The control tower is going to provide the information on the activity of birds and estimated height to the pilots if it is possible. At the same time, the pilots are informed to turn on the landing light in the process of taking off, approach for landing, climbing, and descending as far as the designed limit of aircraft facility allows.

    To eliminate the birds, we are using the blank cartridge, signal gun, and loudspeaker. As well, we are operating several equipments including explosive sounds, alarm, sky dancer. For environmental management, we are carrying out various activities simultaneously to prevent the installation of rubbish dump and wastewater treatment plant, and to limit the kinds of trees and the farming in the airport.

  3. Use extreme caution, field is surrounded by high angle firing range(RK R14).
