1.  Airport regulations

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 (P518, P73A/B, etc) or Special Use Airspace (ACMI, R17, etc), especially when flying north of R 270 and R 080 NCN 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  High Intensity Runway Operation(HIRO)

HIRO will be in force when runway surface condition is dry and adverse weather condition is not present. When HIRO are in force, ATC will inform via ATIS(Phrase : High Intensity Runway Operation in force. Minimum Runway Occupancy Time required) or RTF.

1. During HIRO in force, pilots are strongly requested to use the following preferred rapid exit taxiways or vacate the landing runway within 60 SEC of timeframe. Aircraft unable to comply with these procedures should notify ATC as early as possible.

2. Pilots are encouraged to apply proper deceleration technique take into account the following distance information of rapid exit taxiway to avoid decelerating to taxi speed on midpoint of landing runway and minimize runway occupancy time.

4. Diagram of Apron 1·2·3·4 and Cargo Apron 1·2

   
   

1. Pilots are strongly encouraged to check the availability of intersection departure before start-up. Declared distance for intersection departure are detailed in AD 2.13 DECLARED DISTANCES. For the purpose of performance calculations the standard intersection departure points are:

   • RWY 15R - B6 / K

   • RWY 33L - B1 / J

   • RWY 16L - N6 / V / U

   • RWY 34R - N1 / T

2. Intersection departures may be initiated by ATC to expedite traffic flow. Pilots must advise ATC if they are not able to comply with this request to prevent additional delay or sequence change.

3. ATC will consider all aircrafts at the RWY holding point as able to commence line-up and take-off roll immediately on receiving clearance from ATC, unless otherwise instructed. Pilots should note that ATC expects pre-departure cockpit checks to be completed prior to entering the runway and take-off checks that must be made on the runway are kept to the minimum required. Pilots not ready when reaching the RWY holding point shall advise ATC as early as possible before reaching to RWY holding point.

4. When line-up or take-off clearance is issued, ATC will expect and has planned on seeing movement within 10 seconds.

5. Normally ATC will apply ICAO wake vortex separation minima between successive departures. If more separation than prescribed minima is required, pilot shall notify ATC before entering the RWY.

1. Departures will normally be cleared in the order in which they are ready for take-off(First Come, First Served), however deviations may be made from this principle to facilitate the maximum number of departures with the least average delay considering following factors:

   1. Types of aircraft and their relative performance;

   2. Routes to be followed after take-off

   3. Any specified minimum departure interval between take-off

   4. Need to apply wake turbulence separation minima;

   5. Aircraft which should be afforded priority; and

   6. Aircraft subject to ATFM requirements

2. For aircraft subject to ATFM requirements, it is the responsibility of the pilot and the operator to ensure that the aircraft is ready to taxi in time to meet any required departure time, bearing in mind that once a departure sequence is established on the taxiway system, it can be difficult, and sometimes impossible, to change the order.

The runway 33L/R or 34L/R 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.

Time(UTC)	Departure	Arrival
0000~2359	15R/33L, 16L/34R	15L/33R, 16R/34L

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

1.8 Flight limitations

1. The use of this airport for training purpose is prohibited. The deliberate simulation of engine failure is not permitted whilst on approach to or departure from the airport.

2. The use of this airport by light sports aircraft, ultra-light vehicles and lighter than air is prohibited.

2  Apron control services

2.1  Transponder

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

3  Ground Movement

1. General

   1. A-CDM is a process that allows air traffic controllers, airport operators, aircraft operators(AO), ground handling agents(GHA), pilots and air traffic flow managers to exchange operational information and work together to efficiently manage operations at aerodrome.

   2. Definitions Commonly Used Terms in A-CDM.

      1. Target Off Block Time(TOBT) - The time that an AO or GHA estimates that an aircraft will be ready, all doors closed, boarding bridge removed, push-back vehicle available and ready to start up / push-back immediately upon reception of clearance from the ATC.

      2. Target Start up Approval Time(TSAT) - The time provided by ATC taking into account TOBT, Calculated Take-Off Time(CTOT) and/or the traffic situation that an aircraft can expect startup / push-back approval.

   3. The operation of A-CDM at Incheon Airport will be phased due to ATC environmental restrictions. TSAT will not be provided to all departure flights. The flights subject to Pre-Departure Sequencing are limited to ATFM regulated flights during first operational phase.

   4. TSAT will not be provided to the aircraft in de-icing operation.

   5. TOBT and TSAT will be displayed on VDGS in UTC for the improvement of A-CDM operation.

2. A-CDM Procedures

   1. Incheon Airport A-CDM Portal System will automatically calculate system TOBT for each departure flight taking into account the Estimated In-Block Time/Actual In-Block Time(EIBT/AIBT), Minimum Turnaround Time(MTTT) and Estimated Off Block Time (EOBT).

   2. AO or GHA can manually update the system generated TOBT from 90 minutes prior to EOBT.

   3. If the prediction of departure readiness (new TOBT) differs more than 5 minutes from the previous TOBT, AO or GHA shall update TOBT.

   4. TOBT shall not deviate from EOBT by more than 15 minutes. If TOBT deviates from EOBT by more than 15 minutes, AO has to initiate an delay message. When EOBT is modified, TOBT is automatically modified to the value of EOBT.

   5. TOBT shall be updated through the following channels:

      1. A-CDM portal and mobile web; or

      2. Flight Information Assistant (FIA) at PBB boarding rooms

   6. TOBT information is available through the following channels:

      1. A-CDM portal and mobile web; or

      2. Flight Information Assistant (FIA) at PBB boarding rooms; or

      3. Visual Docking Guidance System(VDGS); or

      4. Radio communication with AO or GHA

   7. TSAT will be calculated by taking into account factors such as TOBT, CTOT, Estimated Taxi-Out Time(EXOT) and ATC separation standards etc. Thus the accuracy of TOBT is vital to an optimal TSAT.

   8. AO or GHA are strongly encouraged to update TOBT as soon as any expected delay to the aircraft readiness for push-back is made available to avoid unnecessary hold-ups.

   9. TSAT information is available through the following channels:

      1. A-CDM portal and mobile web; or

      2. Flight Information Assistant (FIA) at PBB boarding rooms; or

      3. Visual Docking Guidance System(VDGS); or

      4. Radio communication with GHA or AO; or

      5. INCHEON APRON (in case VDGS is unserviceable)

3. Non A-CDM Procedures

   1. The non A-CDM procedure is applicable when TOBT and TSAT references used in A-CDM mode of operations become unavailable due to system issues or maintenance.

   2. If unable to refer TOBT through any channels, pilot shall contact INCHEON DELIVERY for ATC clearance via voice RTF or Data-link Departure Clearance Service(DCL) from EOBT -10 minutes.

3.2  Procedures for start-up and push back

1. Pilot shall ensure aircraft is ready for push-back at TOBT.

2. Pilot shall maintain communication with the AO / GHA as they are responsible for updating the TOBT. Pilot shall notify the AO / GHA to update the TOBT if it is expected to differ by 5 minutes or more.

3. ATC clearance can be requested via voice RTF or Data-link Departure Clearance Service(DCL) from TOBT -10 minutes to +5 minutes.

4. ATC will update TSAT changes if any, before push-back. Note that TSAT displayed on VDGS may not be final and can be revised due to en-route clearance restrictions, ground congestion or flow management.

5. Pilot with TSAT shall contact INCHEON APRON to request engine start-up and push-back within 5 minutes of TSAT after obtaining ATC clearance. Pilot without TSAT shall contact INCHEON APRON after obtaining ATC clearance when ready for start-up and push-back. The pilot provide the following:

   1. Call sign

   2. Gate/Stand number

   3. TSAT (If applicable)

6. INCHEON APRON may swap push-back sequencing based on TSAT and real-time readiness of aircraft to maximise apron and runway capacity and to reduce the overall delay to traffic as and when required.

7. If a flight is unable to commence push-back by TSAT + 5 minutes due to the aircraft being unready, ATC clearance and TSAT will be cancelled. Pilot must notify the AO / GHA to update the TOBT for a new TSAT before requesting for a new ATC clearance. This also applies to aircraft returning back to blocks after push-back.

8. In case of engine start-up with GPU at gates due to APU malfunction or failure, pilot needs to contact INCHEON APRON earlier than TSAT window(± 5 minutes) considering the time required for engine start-up and push-back.

9. All aircraft to be taxied within the apron shall set their engine thrusts to idle. In case of using breakaway thrust, it should be minimized, especially when commencing taxiing from stands(NR. 814, 815, 816, 817) and starting points(Point 33, 34, 35, 36) in Apron 3 for ground safety.

10. Prior to request for push-back clearance, pilot shall report “READY/REQUEST” to Incheon Apron. The term “READY/REQUEST” means :

    1. Push-back tractor has been connected;

    2. Boarding bridge is detached and at stand-by position; and

    3. Wing walkers are ready and positioned for push-back.

    Push-back clearance will be provided only after Incheon Apron has received “READY/REQUEST” by pilot.

11. The smaller aircraft(business jets) ingress and egress procedures 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). In case of M North zone assigned not for deicing, aircraft shall be pushed back for departure.

12. There are several blue lines in Apron 1 and 3

    Locations : Right behind Gates 9, 15, 21, 22, 32, 33, 39, 45, 49 in Apron 1, and 237, 238, 239, 240, 258, 259, 260, 261 in Apron 3.

    The aircraft of those gates shall be pushed back along blue line until their nose-wheels are on the specific taxilane.

13. Prior to request for taxi clearance in apron area, pilot must report “READY/REQUEST” to Incheon Apron. The term “READY/REQUEST” means :

    1. Push-back tractor has been disconnected;

    2. Ground personnel, vehicles, equipment, obstacles are clear of aircraft; and

    3. Aircraft is fully ready to taxi.

    Taxi clearance will be provided only after Incheon Apron has received “READY/REQUEST” by pilot, and pilot shall not move without taxi clearance.

14. To avoid delay to other aircraft using 'Apron 1 and 3' 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, for gate 236R, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 257, 258, 259, 260, 261, 261R is onto taxilane R12, and for gate 208R, 290R is onto taxilane R17 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.

15. 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.

16. Delays may be expected due to other aircraft to push back or to taxi as distances between aircraft gates/stands vary. If push-back is delayed due to apron traffic conditions, TSAT will remain valid even if it exceeds TSAT + 5 minutes. TOBT needs not to be updated for such situations.

17. The following tables describe the procedures for push-back 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.

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

19. The aircraft that have been approved for push-back by Incheon Apron must set the Mode A code assigned by ATC prior to push-back.

20. The pilots and vehicle operators should look out all directions as they are instructed by the Incheon Apron and also obey emergency stop instruction given by any team member.

21. The aircraft that are moving after stopping at 4E and 5W must move with minimum power.

4.3  De-icing operational procedures

1. De-icing requests and cancellations are possible through A-CDM portal system by AO or via radio communication with Incheon De-icing by flight crew.

2. Engine on de-icing is available on all de-icing pads and ACFT types applicable for engine on de-icing depend on AO or GHA.

3. Technical de-icing (landing gear, brakes, inside LE- or TE-flaps, under wing, engine inlets, fan blades and sensors/ static ports/ pitot probes) should be performed by Engine off.

4. For safety and GHA’s operational reasons(weather conditions, etc.), engine off de-icing can be applied.

5. On the de-icing pads ACFT shall hold abeam the stop line which indicates the cockpit stop position or follow the advice of the marshaller.

6. Aircrew shall control the throttle carefully, avoiding the exhausted gas causing damage to support personnel and equipment, when aircraft exit the de-icing stands.

7. During the engine on de-icing, aircrew shall keep the engine idle and set the brake. ACFT hold position until Pad control give the taxi instruction.

8. The detailed de-icing procedures are given on the ‘ICN DE-ICING ANTI-ICING PILOT BRIEF SHEET’. A copy of the sheet can be downloaded from www.airport.kr/co_en/4415/subview.do.

NOTE 1 : The de-icing pad will be appropriately assigned by Incheon Apron or Pad Control when aircraft approaches to de-icing zone.

NOTE 2 : Flight crews shall monitor and maintain radio contact, otherwise re-sequenced as a result of no response to 3 successive calls.

NOTE 3 : This procedures can be changed by Incheon Apron according to the volume of de-icing traffic.

NOTE 4 : Flight crews need extra caution when entering and leaving the de-icing pad, since there are GSE roads in front of or behind the de-icing pad.

   1. When RWY 15L for landing and RWY 15R for departure are in use at the same time, CAT-II/III holding positions on TWY G and L are not applied.

   2. When RWY 33L for departure and RWY 33R for landing are in use at the same time, CAT-II/III holding positions on TWY L and G are not applied.

3. Arriving aircraft

   1. Aircraft shall vacate the runway via the designated exit taxiways as follows; Other exit taxiways will not be lit.

      RWY 15L - C2, C1, D1 or G

      RWY 15R - B3, B2 or G

      RWY 33L - B4, B5 or L

      RWY 33R - C4, C5, D6 or L

      RWY 16L - N3, N2 or S

      RWY 16R - P6, P5, P4, P2 or S

      RWY 34R - N4, N5 or N7

      RWY 34L - P7, P8, P10, P11 or P13

      Refer to Low Visibility Procedure diagram Pages.

   2. All runway exits have taxiway center-line lead off lights that are color coded (green/yellow) to indicate that portion of the taxiway that is within the ILS sensitive area.

   3. Pilots are required to make a 'runway vacated' call giving due allowance for the size of the aircraft to ensure that the entire aircraft have vacated the ILS critical sensitive areas.

4. Departing aircraft

   Departing aircraft shall normally enter the runway via the designated taxiways as follows :

   RWY 15L : A → L or D → L

   RWY 15R : A → L, D → L, D → K → C → L

   RWY 33L : A → G, D → G, D → J → C → G

   RWY 33R : A → G, D → G

   RWY 16L : M → N7

   RWY 16R : M → V → P → P13, M → N7 → P → P13

   RWY 34R : M → S

   RWY 34L : M → S, M → T → P → S

   Refer to Low Visibility Procedure diagram Pages.

9.8  Practice Approaches

Pilots may carry out a practice ILS CAT II/III approach at any time with a prior approval of ATC, but the full safeguarding ground procedures will not be applied and pilots should anticipate the possibility of ILS signal interference.

10.  Apron Safety Management

11.  Special notice to ICAO Code F aircraft (A380 & B747-8) operations

All runways are available for the ICAO Code F aircraft.

The markings for RWY 15R/33L, RWY 15L/33R, RWY 16R/34L, RWY 16L/34R are located at 107.5 m from runway centerline.

1. ICAO Code F aircraft should taxi along the taxiing routes published on movement charts(refer to AIP RKSI Aerodrome ground movement chart) unless there are special instructions by ATC.

2. ICAO Code F aircraft should taxi at speed of less than 30 kt on TWY A, B, M and N because there are open channels between TWY A and B (depth 3 m), TWY N and M (depth 3.5 m). (refer to AIP RKSI Aerodrome ground movement chart)

3. ICAO Code F aircraft should taxi along the taxiing routes published on SMGCS taxi route (refer to AIP RKSI Low visibility procedure diagram) under Low Visibility Procedure(LVP) unless there are special instructions by ATC.

1. B747-8 aircraft are available on all taxiing routes.

2. A380 aircraft should taxi along the taxiing routes published on movement charts(refer to AIP RKSI Aerodrome ground movement chart) unless there are special instructions by Incheon Apron(Apron Controller). Some Apron taxiing routes are restricted as below.

   	A380 Unavailable Taxiing Routes
   Apron 1	AS, R5
   Apron 3	RF
   	Parts of RA, RB, RC(Except the routes between R11 and R12)
   Apron 4	R26
   	M18, M19(R4 ~ R26 routes)
   Cargo Apron 1	D2, D3
