01/08/2008 INTRODU

1.1 AIM OF THE ROUTE MANUAL

The data collated in this manual is largely of an informative and practical nature and is designed to be used as an in -flight guide during the day to day operations (including emergency and abnormal situations) of the company’s aircraft.

1.2 PRECEDENCE OF THE ROUTE MANUAL

While every effort is made to keep this manual current, where a difference exists between the information contained in this manual and other sources e.g. FOM, AOM/FCOM, Jeppesen Airway Manual, NOTAMS, Supplementary Procedures, etc.) then, these sources will take precedence over this manual.

The company complies with paragraph (b) of Jeppesen Airway Manual (ATC, Entry Requirements, etc) section with individual State listings) by including relevant information from individual State Aeronautical Information Publications (AIP) in this route manual; by pro vision of pre-flight aeronautical information; NOTAM information; and, operational notices, etc.

The final decision in all matters relating to the safe conduct of every flight rests solely with the pilot in command. It is his/her responsibility to utilize all available resources at his/her disposal when faced with any emergency or abnormal situation. This manual is intended to be one such resource

1.4 ROUTE INFORMATION AND FEEDBACK Suggestions for improving the contents of this document are always welcomed. Subtle changes to air traffic clearances, weather reporting procedures, preferred alternates etc. are not always provided in a timely manner. The “Captain’s Report” is the prime means of reporting operational problems. This form will facilitate appropriate corrective action for those items of a more general nature

Page 12: 320 Route Manual Rev01

A.320/1 ROUTE MANUAL 1/P 3 INTRODUCTION Rev 00

01/08/2008

and it can also be used to provide appropriate amendment action to the route manual. 1.5 ICAO AND STATE DIFFERENCES – USE OF JEPPESEN

AIRWAY MANUAL It is imperative that crew check the ICAO State differences section of the Jeppesen Airway Manual for differences from standard ICAO procedures according to each state. Note that if a particular state is not listed in the Jeppesen Airway Manual, then there are no differences for that state. 1.6 AIR ROUTE CLEARANCES For all flights, the company will ensure that all necessary diplomatic and air service rights clearances have been obtained. This will include clearances through foreign civil and military airspace or ADIZ’s. Delays may affect the validity of these clearances as the State authority may specify an earliest and latest time for individual flights. In the event of any delay, it will be the responsibility of the company to ensure approvals are valid. Lists of air routes, services, destinations and alternate airports for which Vietnam Airlines has approval to operate to or through, are maintained by Flight Operations Department and are available upon request.

2.1 FLIGHT FOLDER A special Flight Plan folder is to be used for delivery of all flight plans, NOTAMs and meteorological information, etc. For flights departing from Hanoi and HoChiMinh city, flight dispatch staff will provide this information to the crew. At overseas airports, either a ground handling agent or company representative will provide the folder to the crew. The flight plan folder will contain the following information:

Meteorological information for the route(s) to be flown, departure, destination, en-route alternate and destination alternate airports.

NOTAM information for the route(s) to be flown, departure, destination, en-route alternate and destination alternate airports.

Computer flight plan (CFP). After each sector, the completed CFP along with all documentation pertinent to the flight is to be placed in the envelope pouch for return to operations upon arrival in Vietnam. 2.2 ALTERNATE AIRPORTS State requirements will be observed with respect to the carriage of suitable alternates. Alternate airports must meet the requirements as laid down in the individual aircraft AOM/FCOM and the company FOM. Airports which have been approved by both the company and the CAAV as suitable alternates are listed for each airport which Vietnam airlines may operate to. Airports listed are provided as a guide to the pilot in command in deciding a suitable alternate airport. Crews must be mindful of the hours of operation of ATS units and any restricted periods of operations at alternate airports when assessing their suitability.

01/08/2008

2.3 UNSCHEDULED DIVERSIONS AND/OR DELAYED OPERATIONS Any time an unscheduled diversion occurs, it is vital that the captain ensures the following actions are taken as soon as possible:

A message advising of the diversion and ETA is to be passed to the destination station and via them to Operation department of Vietnam Airlines.

On arrival at the alternate, the captain should make contact, either personally or

through the ground handling agent with operations who will then take over all the co- ordination of the operation from that time forward. With the large number of variables involved the most obvious alternate may not be suitable due to airport congestion, lack of facilities affecting refueling and turnaround times, Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) clearance delays and/or retrieval options. These factors can take some considerable time to resolve so maximum notice is required. (This does not apply to diversions required under ETOPS or other diversion involving emergency operations). This liaison with operations will also apply when aircraft unserviceable becomes apparent. The possible non-availability of technical support at remote ports should be considered when deciding on the most appropriate course of action. 2.4 CREW REQUIREMENTS 2.4.1 General Declaration The General Declaration is the instrument of authorization under which crews physically enter and leave countries without the requirement of obtaining visas. It is therefore essential that these be completed correctly. The General Declaration should be checked and if required, signed by the pilot in command of the flight.

2.4.2 Passports/Visas

Page 16: 320 Route Manual Rev01

A.320/1 ROUTE MANUAL 2/P 4 PRE-FLIGHT Rev 00

01/08/2008

All crew members shall be in possession of a valid passport and visa, if required. 2.4.3 Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) All crew members are required to proceed through Customs and Immigration facilities at all international airports. Failure to comply with this requirement may lead to severe penalties being imposed by statutory authorities on the company and/or the individual. All crew members are reminded that custom requirement for aircrew is normally more restrictive than that for regular passengers.

3.1 GENERAL 3.1.1 Restricted airspace/Tracking restrictions Computer flight plans will normally be planned via routes which avoid active restricted areas. Flight crews must, however cross check that the proposed computer plan complies with any route tracking restrictions indicated on the Jeppesen charts. When within radar coverage, track shortening may become available depending on traffic and any airspace restrictions. Prior to departure, check NOTAMs for restricted areas that may be activated on a non-continuous basis. 3.1.2 Speed restrictions/ATC radar capabilities When operating within controlled airspace , aircraft must observe speed limitations. Refer to Jeppesen charts, STARs and SIDs for individual requirements. It is essential that crews comply with individual State requirements. Most countries radar installations have both ground speed and altitude encoding capabilities. Any infringement detected in speed restrictions or altitude assignments or restrictions may incur a penalty. 3.1.3 ICAO separation standards For aircraft equipped with approved RNAV equipment, in other than Oceanic Control Areas (OCA), the minimum longitudinal separation will be 30nm. In Oceanic Control Areas, longitudinal separation will either be 10 minutes using Mach Number technique, otherwise 15 or 20 minutes. Lateral separation is 50nm either side of track. 3.1.4 Mach Number Technique

Page 20: 320 Route Manual Rev01

A.320/1 ROUTE MANUAL 3/P 4 AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES Rev 00

01/08/2008

This technique is used by ATC to maintain adequate longitudinal separation between successive aircraft at, or climbing or descending to, the same level, by requiring aircraft flying along the same route to maintain specific true Mach numbers. Unless otherwise advised by the pilot, ATC will assume that the last assigned true Mach number will be maintained both in cruise and in any cleared step-climbs or step-descents made in the course of the flight. ATC will assign a Mach number that is to be maintained and will form part of the ATC clearance. The tolerance for application of Mach number technique is M ± 0.01 hence Mach number must be read back to two decimal places. If it is necessary to make an immediate temporary change in Mach number (eg. due to turbulence), the appropriate ATC unit should be notified as soon as possible. When required by the appropriate ATC unit, the current true Mach number should be included in routine position reports. The Air Traffic Control section of the Jeppesen Airway Manual contains specific information regarding the application of Mach number techniques. 3.1.5 Allowable tolerances for flight through ADIZs –Asia Pacific area Time: five (5) minutes from the estimate over a reporting point or ADIZ entry point. Note that ATC requirements for advice of a revised estimate of more than 2 minutes is more restrictive. 3.1.6 Holding Procedures The standard time for ICAO holding patterns is 01 minute at or below 14000ft or FL140 and 1.5 minutes above, unless specified otherwise. Carefully check individual State requirement and Jeppesen Airway Manual to confirm whether pattern timing is inbound or outbound. Timing on the outbound leg commences at the latter of wings level or abeam the holding fix. The new holding procedures are designed according to the ICAO Doc8186, Edition IV. The old holding procedures are designed according to the ICAO

Page 21: 320 Route Manual Rev01

3.2 SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES. 3.2.1 General procedures A. The following general procedures apply to both subsonic and supersonic aircraft and are intended for guidance only. Although all possible contingencies cannot be covered, they provide for cases of inability to maintain assigned level due to weather, aircraft performance, pressurization failure and problems associated with high -level supersonic flight. They are applicable primarily when rapid descent and/or turn-back or diversion to an alternate airport are required. The pilot’s judgment shall determine the sequence of actions taken, taking into account specific circumstances. B. If an aircraft is unable to continue flight in accordance with its air traffic control clearance, a revised clearance shall, whenever possible, be obtained prior to initiating any action, using a distress or urgency signal, as appropriate. C. If prior clearance cannot be obtained, an ATC clearance shall be obtained at the earliest possible time and, until a revised clearance is received, the pilot shall:

- If possible, deviate away from an organized track or route system. - Establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by

broadcasting, at suitable intervals: flight identification, flight level, aircraft position, (including the ATS route designator or the track code) and intentions on the frequency in use, as well as on frequency 121.5 MHz (or, as a back-up, the VHF inter-pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45 Mhz)

- Watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to TCAS. - Turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate

operating limitations).

3.2.2 Special procedures for Rapid descent, Turn-back or Diversion to Alternate airport due to aircraft system malfunction or other contingencies

Page 24: 320 Route Manual Rev01

A.320/1 ROUTE MANUAL 3/P 8 AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES Rev 00

01/08/2008

3.2.2.1 Initial action If unable to comply with the provisions of paragraph 3.2.1.B, to obtain a revised ATC clearance, the aircraft should leave its assigned route or track by turning 90 degrees right or left whenever this is possible. The direction of the turn should be determined by the position of the aircraft relative to any organized route or track system, e.g. whether the aircraft is outside, at the edge of or within the system. Other factors to consider are terrain clearance and the levels allocated to adjacent routes or tracks. 3.2.2.2 Subsequent actions A. If aircraft able to maintain the assigned level An aircraft able to maintain its assigned level should acquire and maintain in either direction a track laterally separated by 25nm from its assigned route or track and once established on the offset track, climb or descend 500ft (150m). B. If aircraft unable to maintain the assigned level An aircraft NOT able to maintain its assigned level should, whenever possible, minimize its rate of descent while turning to acquire and maintain in either direction a track laterally separated by 25nm from its assigned route or track. For subsequent level flight, a level should be selected which differs by 500ft (150m) from those normally used until new assigned level received from ATC. 3.2.3 Weather deviation procedures for Oceanic-controlled airspace 3.2.3.1 General The following procedures are intended to provide guidance. All possible circumstances cannot be covered. The pilot’s judgment shall ultimately determine the sequence of actions taken and ATC shall render all possible assistance.

Page 25: 320 Route Manual Rev01

A.320/1 ROUTE MANUAL 3/P 9 AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES Rev 00

01/08/2008

If the aircraft is required to deviate from track to avoid weather and prior clearance cannot be obtained, an air traffic control clearance shall be obtained at the earliest possible time. In the meantime, the aircraft shall follow the procedures detailed in paragraph 3.2.3.4, below. The pilot shall advise ATC when weather deviation is no longer required, or when a weather deviation has been completed and the aircraft has returned to the centre line of its cleared route. 3.2.3.2 Obtaining priority from ATC when weather deviation is required When the pilot initiates communications with ATC, rapid response may be obtained by stating “WEATHER DEVIATION REQUIRED” to indicate that priority is desired on the frequency and for ATC response. The pilot still retains the option of initiating the communications using the urgency call “PAN PAN” (preferably spoken 3 times) to alert all listening parties to a special handling condition which will receive ATC priority for issuance of a clearance or assistance. 3.2.3.3 Actions in case controller-pilot communications are established A. The pilot notifies ATC and requests clearance to deviate from track, advising, when possible, the extent of the deviation expected. B. ATC takes one of the following actions:

- If there is no conflicting traffic in the horizontal dimension, ATC will issue clearance to deviate from track; or

- If there is conflicting traffic in the horizontal dimension, ATC separates aircraft by establishing vertical separation; or

- If there is conflicting traffic in the horizontal dimension and ATC is unable to establish vertical separation, ATC shall:

+ Advise the pilot unable to issue clearance for requested

deviation. + Advise pilot of conflicting traffic

Page 26: 320 Route Manual Rev01

A.320/1 ROUTE MANUAL 3/P 10 AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES Rev 00

01/08/2008

+ Request pilot’s intentions SAMPLE PHRASEOLOGY: “Unable (requested deviation), traffic is (call sign, position, altitude, direction), advise intentions.” C. The pilot will take the following actions:

- Advise ATC of intentions by the most expeditious means available. - Comply with air traffic control clearance issued - Or execute the procedures detailed in paragraph 3.2.3.4 below. (ATC

will issue essential traffic information to all affected aircraft).

3.2.3.4 Actions in case revised ATC clearance cannot be obtained The pilot shall take the actions listed below under the provision that the pilot may deviate from rules of the air (e.g., the requirement to operate on route or track centre line unless otherwise directed by ATC), when it is absolutely necessary in the interests of safety to do so. The pilot shall take the following actions:

- If possible, deviate away from an organized track or route system. - Establish communication with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting,

at suitable intervals: flight identification, flight level, aircraft position (including the ATS route designator or the track code) and intentions (including the magnitude of the deviation expected) on the frequency in use, as well as on frequency 121.5MHz (or, as a back-up, the VHF inter-pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45MHz).

- Watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to TCAS. - Turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate

operating limitations). For deviations of less than 10nm, aircraft should remain at the level assigned by ATC; For deviations of greater than 10nm, when the aircraft is approximately 10nm from track, initiate a level change based on the following criteria:

Page 27: 320 Route Manual Rev01

A.320/1 ROUTE MANUAL 3/P 11 AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES Rev 00

01/08/2008

Route centerline track Deviations > 10nms Level Change

LEFT DESCEND 300ft EAST (000°-179° Magnetic) RIGHT CLIMB 300ft

LEFT CLIMB 300ft WEST (180°-359° Magnetic) RIGHT DESCEND 300ft

If contact was not established prior to deviating, continue to attempt to contact ATC to obtain a clearance. If contact was established, continue to keep ATC advised of intentions and obtain essential traffic information. When returning to track, be at its assigned flight level, when the aircraft is within approximately 10nm of centre line. 3.3 NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES 3.3.1 General Vietnam Airlines operates to and from many airports which have noise abatement procedures. These procedures are primarily designed to reduce the effect of noise from both departing and arriving aircraft on the populated land area adjacent to the airport. Noise abatement procedures are NOT applied in the event of a go-around. These procedures can be:

Lateral tracking requirements Height and speed restrictions The application of ICAO noise abatement procedures NADP1/2 Preferred runway usage Restrictive use of reverse thrust A combination of any of the above

CAUTION: Noise abatement procedures if applicable, should be used during normal operations. However, in the event of an emergency or abnormal

Page 28: 320 Route Manual Rev01

A.320/1 ROUTE MANUAL 3/P 12 AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES Rev 01

07/12/2011

situation, noise abatement procedures are to be discontinued and the emergency or abnormal situation must be dealt with as soon as conditions permit. SAFETY OF FLIGHT TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER ANY NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURE. 3.3.2 Noise Abatement Procedures at Take-off For departing aircraft, two procedures have been designed so as to ensure that the necessary safety of flight operations is maintained whilst minimizing exposure to noise on the ground. These procedures are incorporated in ICAO Doc 8168 Part V. One of the two procedures, as described below should be used on each take off. The first(NADP1) is intended to describe one method, but not the only method, of providing noise reduction for noise-sensitive areas in close proximity to the departure end of the runway. The second (NADP2) similarly describes one method, but not the only method, of providing noise reduction to areas more distant from the runway end. Aircraft operators may find that to suit their particular route system (i.e at aerodromes where they operate), two different procedures, one designed for close and the other for distant noise reduction, may be appropriate. It is normal that the airport operator, controlling agency or State will be responsible for determining what type of noise abatement procedure if any is to be used for departure. NOTE: Noise abatement procedures whenever specified in the FOM or AOM/FCOM take precedence over the procedures as described in this section. 3.3.2.1 NADP1 Below 800ft AGL (Minimum alt):

Take-off power (Flex take-off, if possible) Take-off flaps Climb at V2+10.

At 800ft AGL (Minimum):

Page 29: 320 Route Manual Rev01

A.320/1 ROUTE MANUAL 3/P 13 AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES Rev 01

07/12/2011

Reduce thrust to not less than climb thrust. From 800ft to 3000ft AGL:

Climb at V2+10 to V2+ 20 kts. Maintain with Flaps/slats in the take-off configuration

At 3000ft AGL: Accelerate smoothly to en-route climb speed with flap retraction on

schedule.

3.3.2.2 NADP2 Below 800ft AGL (Minimum):

Take-off power (Flex take-off, if possible) Take-off flaps Climb at V2+10 to V2+20 kts.

At 800ft AGL: Maintaining a positive rate of climb, body angle is reduced, accelerate

to Zero flap minimum safe maneuvering speed (Green dot speed) Retracting flap on schedule Power is reduced during the flaps/slats retraction sequence at appoint

that ensures satisfactory acceleration performance At 3000ft AGL:

Transition smoothly to en-route climb speed

4.1 ATC COMMUNICATION 4.1.1 ATC Clearances

When obtaining the initial airway clearances, both pilots should write the details of the clearance on the computer flight plan and carefully crosscheck the clearance against the ATS route details of the filed flight plan notification. When ATC clearances or re-clearances are being obtained on HF, both pilots should wear headsets, because the clarity of the cockpit speakers and the associated ambient cockpit noise may result in misinterpretation. Any doubt should be resolved by requesting clarification from ATC. Except in an emergency, no alterations to the agreed flight plan should be made without permission from ATC. All ATC clearances shall be read back in full. Runway in use, altimeter settings, SSR codes, level instructions, heading and speed instructions and, where required by the appropriate ATS authority, transition levels, shall always be read back. All clearances to enter, land on, take -off on, cross and backtrack on the runway-in-use shall be read back. The aircraft call-sign should be added after the end of the clearance read back. 4.1.2 Position Report – ICAO format

When required by ATC, the standard ICAO format for position reports is as follows:

Section 1 – Position Information Aircraft identification Position Time over Flight level (or altitude) Next position and ETA (time over) Ensuing waypoint Mach Number (if required)

Section 2 – Operational Information ETA destination

Endurance (time) Section 3 – Meteorological Information

Air Temperature (OAT) Wind Turbulence Aircraft icing Supplementary information

NOTE: - Section 1 is obligatory.

- Section 2 is only transmitted when requested by the company, ATC or when deemed necessary by the pilot in command. - Section 3 is to be transmitted when the waypoint in the chart indicates that a meteorological report is required.

4.2 LOSS OF COMMUNICATIONS

ICAO communication failure procedure is set out in Jeppesen Airway Manual, Chapter Emergency- Communication failure.

CAUTION: Radio communication failure procedures may vary from State to State. Refer Jeppesen Airway Manual for State differences.

07/12/2011

Whenever possible, select VHF 2 to 121.5 MHz. This frequency must only be used in abnormal or emergency situations. Unnecessary use of 121.5 MHz for routine communications is a hazard to air safety. When established in an Oceanic Control Area (OCA) and outside the VHF range of an ATS unit, all aircrafts are to maintain a listening watch on 128.95 MHz, unless otherwise indicated on the Jeppesen chart. Transmission on this frequency should be limited to matters required to facilitate the resolution of operational problems. 4.5 HF COMMUNICATION Day and night time HF circuits are determined by the position of the sun in relation to the two stations attempting communications. The frequency that will give the best circuit conditions depends on many factors including:

Time of the day Ionospheric conditions Season of the year Position of both stations Equipments

Day-time and night-time circuits are determined by the position of the sun, calculated from the position directly in the centre of the two stations wishing to communicate. The table below indicates approximate ranges in nautical miles:

5.1 AIRCRAFT OBSERVATIONS In flight, the following aircraft observations shall be made:

Routine aircraft observation during en-route and climb-out phases of the flight

Special and other non-routine aircraft observations during any phase of

the flight. Aircraft observations shall be reported by air-ground data link. Where air-ground data link is not available or appropriate, aircraft observations shall be reported by voice communications. Aircraft observation shall be reported during flight at the time the observation is made or as soon thereafter as is practicable. 5.2 SPECIAL AND OTHER NON-ROUTINE AIRCRAFT OBSERVATIONS All aircraft shall make special observations whenever the following conditions are encountered or observed:

Severe turbulence or Severe icing or Severe mountain wave or Thunderstorms, that are obscured, embedded, widespread or in squall

lines or Heavy dust-storms or heavy sandstorm or Volcanic ash cloud or Pre-eruption volcanic activity or a volcanic eruption.

When other meteorological conditions not listed above, e.g. wind shear, are encountered and which, in the opinion of the pilot in command, may affect the safety or markedly affect the efficiency of other aircraft operations, the

GENERAL The purpose of this section is to provide operating crews with additional information which, whilst can be normally found in JEPPESEN Airway Manual, is of importance to normal line operations. Generally, no attempt has been made to duplicate frequencies, instructions or procedures which are contained in the JEPPESEN Airway Manual for the particular airport unless it has been deemed necessary or has been inserted as a result of a pilot report, incident report or is of significance to the operating crew. NOTE: While every effort is made to keep this manual current, where a difference exists between the information contained in this manual and other source, (e.g. FOM, SOP, AOM/FCOM, JEPPESEN Airway Manual, etc) then these sources will take precedence over this manual.

ROUTE BRIEFINGS All VNA A320/321 aircrafts are approved for RVSM and RNP-10/RNAV-5/RNAV-1 operation. In VNA A320/321 network, some routes are RVSM and/or RNP-10/RNAV-5, while others are not. For details, refer to JEPPESEN Airway Manual. Although not indicated accordingly, all airways within Vietnam airspace are RVSM ones. As a general information guideline to crews operating within Vietnam airspace, the following points should be noted: For domestic airports, take-off before ETD is not allowed. ATC strictly

adheres to this principle. Special precaution should be taken when operating on airway W1 and W10

near BMT area. This area is close to border with Cambodia therefore deviation West of W1/W10 is only approved up to about 15 Nm (refer to JEPPESEN Far East En-route chart 3-4). There is no allowance for weather avoidance.

Pilots are requested to cross-check between the flight planned route on CFP and the one in A/C database before flight to avoid any discrepancies.

Some domestic airports are approved for day time operation only. Cross check their exact closing times with FOE and/or the relevant tower control, as this is dependent on the airport commandant.

Metric unit is applied in China airspaces. Flying off track 2-6 Nm is often requested by Chinese ATC.

For any operational, technical assistance and information, pilot can contact: - VNA OCC (Operation control centre): Tel +84-38723374 / +84-38271539 (OCC Duty Manager): 0989295188 - VNA MCC (Maintenance control centre): Tel +84-35842273 or 0913254103

SUVARNABHUMI airport is located about 10nms north of the Gulf of Thailand. The area is flat with no high terrain within 30nm of the airfield. WEATHER The weather is tropical in nature with a year round average of 31ºC with high humidity and frequent thunderstorms. TAXI

Refer Chart 20-6 for taxi in and out. Mode S transponder is required during taxi therefore mode selector shall be in “XPDR” or “AUTO” position (depends on transponder control panel).

ARRIVAL

All STARs are RNAV STARs (GNSS). If aircraft is not GNSS equipped, crew shall inform ATC and request radar vectoring. Normally RWY 01L/19R is used for landing, but RWY change could be expected.

All arriving aircrafts are required to land with minimum certified flaps setting. However Minimum runway occupancy time is strictly applied. As a result crew should choose the optimum landing configuration according to actual landing weight.

DEPARTURE

All SIDs are RNAV-SIDs (GNSS). If aircraft is not GNSS equipped, crew shall inform ATC and request radar vectoring. Normally RWY 01R/19L is used for takeoff, but RWY change could be expected.

Minimum runway occupancy time is strictly applied and crew will automatically switch to departure frequency (normally given on ATIS) when airborne.

Noise abatement procedures are required for all RWYs. COMPANY NOTES

High obstacles are on the North and West of the airport. Therefore the MSA on the West, North and East sectors are quite high (from 4600ft to7100ft), while MSA on the South is 2000ft. WEATHER

During summer time, the weather is quite good and usually hazy. In winter time, it is very cold, sometimes foggy.

Sand storm is observed sometimes. TAXI

There are predetermined taxi routes, but different taxi routes could be expected. Long taxi time normally is expected for departure (around 30-40 minutes or more) due to high volume of traffic.

Normally parking bay 205-218 at S apron shall be assigned for VNA aircraft.

ARRIVAL AND APPROACH

Normally VNA aircraft will be cleared to land on RWY 36L/18R or 01/19.

ATC usually requires to an early speed reduction, early and step-descent at required Vs (vertical speed) due to high volume of traffic.

STAR and RWY change could be expected at last moment during approach.

After landing, all aircrafts are required to vacate the RWY as soon as possible (within 50s from flying over the RWY threshold).

DEPARTURE

Normally VNA aircraft will be cleared for takeoff on RWY 36L/18R. Noise abatement procedures are required for all RWYs. ATC always clears step climb.

A cruising altitude will be cleared only when aircraft leaves Beijing TMA.

EOSID RWY 36/01 is available. COMPANY NOTES

Metric unit is applied in China airspaces. Pilots are requested to take extreme caution when using the Meter-Foot conversion table.

Due to high volume of traffic and departure priority normally given to Chinese air-carriers, it is pertinent to carry extra fuel for your departure or arrival.

All flight documents are brought to the aircraft by the ground handling agents.

Phraseology: “VN…, climb to 7500 meters on standard” means “Climb to 7500 meters on STD setting “

WEATHER

The weather in BUSAN is usually suitable for using RWY 36. Sometimes very strong Southerly wind causes RWY in use to be RWY

18. During winter, it is very cold in BUSAN. After long flight in low

temperature, during transit stop at the airport, there is high probability of clear ice formed on aircraft surface. Walk-around check must be done very carefully. De-icing may be required before departure.

TAXI

Refer Chart 10-9B/C/D for taxi in and out. The civil apron is to the South East of Airport. Two parallel runways are very close. If “Hold short of RWY” is

requested by ATC, crew shall ensure aircraft completely clear off the runway. After landing on RWY 36L/18R, a runway crossing clearance must be obtained from ATC (RWY 36R/18L is normally assigned for military activities in which a different radio frequency is used).

Unless otherwise directed, aircraft shall automatically contact GIMHAE RAMP CONTROL at the Radio Frequency Transfer Point (RTP)

Follow-me car is waiting at apron entrance (G7). ARRIVAL AND APPROACH Note: RWY 36L/18R is normally used for civil aircrafts and RWY 36R/18L

for military aircrafts. There is no STAR for arrival. ATC will provide radar vector for

straight-in ILS RWY 36L or LOC RWY 36L followed by circle-to-land RWY 18R.

Crew is requested to report “airfield insight” before being transfer to TWR frequency.

07/12/2011

LOC APPROACH RWY 36L FOLLOWED BY CIRCLE-TO-LAND RWY 18R: Circling approach to land RWY 18 is normally associated with marginal weather and very strong Southern wind. The possibility of missed approach is very high. Crew must not start the approach if approach preparation and briefing for circling has not been completed. (Refer Vietnam Airlines chart 19-1 for circling guidance)

To avoid configuration change during circling manoeuvre, aircraft shall

circle at F speed in CONF 3 and landing gear down (except for single engine operations).

F speed of A320/321 is almost higher than 140kts, therefore the CIRCLING ALTITUDE will be 1100FT (refer to JEPPESEN approach chart 11-3) or 1500ft AMSL on downwind leg in VMC (at or above VIS 4800m and ceiling 2500ft) unless otherwise cleared by ATC.

Flying along the river is a good reference for downwind leg. At the end of downwind leg, start turn with a minimum 25 degree

banked then adjust bank angle for intercepting final. Frequently high bank angle is required because of strong South-West wind. DO NOT forget to start the descent when turning into base leg to avoid excessive Vs on short final.

On base leg: There is a RED-WHITE CHECKER BOARD placed on the mountain on extended RWY centerline: The Red-White Checker Board must be either ahead or on the Left

of the aircraft. If the Red-White Checker Board is on the Right of the aircraft: the

aircraft position seems to be in proximity to the terrain and a GO-AROUND must be carried out.

Crew also looks for circling guidance lights RWY 18R. (JEPPESEN chart 19-1).

In case of Miss approach, crew must turn RIGHT and fly over the airfield then join the Missed Approach trajectory of LOC 36L (from the missed approach point of LOC 36L). Crew may also expect radar vector for miss approach.

Departure RWY 36 is more restrictive than RWY 18 due to terrain on

the North of airport. SID for RWY 36 is normally GARAK1 which requires an early turn when airborne (at 450ft). Starting turn at 450ft is expected during radar vectored. DO NOT delay the turn due to terrain ahead.

EOSID RWY 36 is available. Engine out acceleration altitude for RWY 36 should be modified in MCDU PERF page with data from RTOW chart.

COMPANY NOTES

It is a requirement of VNA crew is requested not to start the APU after landing. Using GPU, air-conditioning unit are mandatory.

For RWY 36L, sometimes MPTOW could be very limited, especially with tail wind and wet RWY. Be aware of that when calculating fuel to avoid late off-loading payload. Take off with pack-off should be considered.

For any operational inquiry, pilots can contact Korean Air GIMHAE Operation on frequency 129.2.

The airport authority is very strict in food quarantine especially with meat products and vegetables.

To be filled as an alternate, PUS requires higher planning minimum (refer to JEPPESEN chart 10-9A).

WEATHER

Due to the proximity of the hilly terrain of LANTAU Island to the South and East of the airport, significant low-level wind shear and moderate to severe turbulence can be expected along the approaches to the departures from both RWYs when winds blow from those hills.

Hong Kong's climate is affected by its tropical coastal location in the South China Sea, the Asian High and the Indian Ocean Monsoon. Annual rainfall is on average 2200mm (85in).

Most typhoons will approach Hong Kong from the SE sector in summer and autumn, particularly in August and September. If typhoon activity is such threatened, the airport may indicate surface winds of 30 -35kt however the 1000ft wind may be at 100Kts.

VOLMET Typhoon Warnings: The progressive position is transmitted as a SIGMET on Hong Kong VOLMET (6679KHZ, 8828KHZ and 13282KHZ at H+15 and H+45).

NOTE: The surface wind at the airport is generally not a good indicator of the prevailing winds due to terrain and land-sea breeze effects. Instead, wind conditions at approximately 2000ft should be used to assess the likelihood of significant turbulence further down the approach. The significant of turbulence can be expected to increase rather than decrease before touchdown. Wind shear and Turbulence Warning System (WTWS): The Wind shear and Turbulence Warning System (WTWS) and Terminal Doppler Weather Radar continuously monitor low-level wind shear and turbulence induced by terrain and caused by convection within 3Nm of the RWY threshold. Alerts are updated once every minute and passed by the tower controller.

Page 90: 320 Route Manual Rev01

A.320/1 ROUTE MANUAL 6/P 50 AIRPORT & ROUTE BRIEFINGS Rev 01

07/12/2011

When more than one occurrence of wind shear is detected by the TDWR or WTWS, alerts will be generated by each system based on the highest priority, the maximum loss intensity and the location of the first encounter with any occurrence for that runway.

TAXI

Airport is equipped with advance surface movement guidance and control system that utilizes mode S transponder (selected them in XPNDR or Auto). Pilot shall keep transponder working in mode S (if fitted) with assigned mode A code while taxiing in and out on ground.

ARRIVAL AND APPROACH

STAR’S are issued and generally adhered to. However, crew should be ready for a possibility of radar vectors for a much shorter approach if traffic volume is light and the weather is good.

RWY 07L/25R is normally used for landing. Holding sometimes is required due to flow control. Arriving from Hanoi, crew will expect descend and maintain FL190 or

210 by SIERA. Crew shall contact HKG radar 3 minutes before SIERA (refer to en-route chart).

DEPARTURE

Push and start can take a while due to heavy traffic, crew should promptly request for ATC clearance. Once push back/start-up is approved, it will be instructed to push back with color code (e.g. RED (facing East), BLUE (facing West)…). Crew must ensure push back clearance/information is correctly relayed to the ground crew.

RWY 07R/25L is used for takeoff. Noise Abatement Procedure for Departure RWY07 EOSIDs are available for both runways. Engine out acceleration altitude

for RWY 07R should be modified in MCDU PERF page with data from RTOW chart.

This airport stays in the North Central. There are some significant points about this one. The summer and winter weather is quite distinct. From April to October, summer time with hot temperature together with high humidity and West wind from Laos can make climate uncomfortable. High temperature can reach 40ºC in a hottest day, especially in October. However, after that period, temperature cools down. During winter time, temperature can sink down to 13ºC.

This wind during summer time is West hot wind, mostly from Laos. Sometimes, wind can blow South West or North West. In winter time, under the affect of North East monsoon, wind changes to North, rarely North West direction. Moreover, they can observe lots of cloud of CB can be forming in this region due to the North East Monsoon. That’s reason why more cloud appears in winter season.

Low temperature with light wind in the morning makes Fog forming and lasts very long, even to the mid-noon. By the year end, aviation operation in this airport is so poor with lots of diversion due to low visibility.

TAXI

Taxiways E1 and E2 are available. In case of landing RWY 17 or takeoff RWY 35, because of short taxi

time, crew should pay attention to observe the minimum engine cooling/warm up time.
