Controllers are required to complete the ATIS information and tune to the correct frequency before connecting to the server.
In the event that there are no further upper ATC facilities available, controllers shall instruct pilots to switch to UNICOM on the frequency 122.800 MHz.
This procedure is applicable to the Main ATS Communication Facilities. However, in the event that Don Mueang Airport receives Full ATS Communication Facilities, the controller must ensure to verify the next controller's frequency accurately before transferring instructions to the pilot.
NOTAMs: NOtice To AirMens.
SIDs: Standard Instrument Departures.
STARs: STandard Arrival Routes.
Delivery Phraseology Example:
The ground controller has the capability to refer to the aerodrome chart to identify and provide the appropriate taxi route for aircraft movements on the ground.
Ground Phraseology Example:
[Departure]
[Arrival]
Real life always pushback face North or South on Taxiway B for pier 2-6. Some pilot in IVAO may not able to pushback like this.
The controller must ensure that the runway is not occupied by any aircraft or vehicles before issuing any clearance.
Controller would give take-off/landing clearance with the following information:
a. Wind direction and speed
b. Approach frequency
c. Any NOTAMs (if required)
d. Runway that cleared for take-off / to land
In case of runway is occupied and another aircraft is on short final approach. Controller may tell the pilot to do go around procedure.
Tower Phraseology Example:
[Departure]
[In case of another traffic on final approach]
[Arrival]
[In case of another traffic on final approach]
At this ATC position Controller will get most traffic volume in Don Mueang aerodrome. Controller need to think carefully before issue any clearance.
Approach Phraseology Example:
[Departure]
[Arrival aircraft on SABAI3A Arrival]

In case of heavy traffic e.g. IVAO official events RWY 03R/21L shall be use for departure and RWY 03L/21R for arrival to increase traffic flow
VT-D47
Jet / Conventional Aircraft departing from Don Mueang International Airport must contact Don Mueang Approach on frequency 119.4 MHZ
Before leaving VT-D47 the pilot must report his position, distance and heading to Don Mueang Approach.
Test Flights: If the pilot desires to fly outside the area of VT-D47, he must maintain two-way radio communications with, and follow instruction from Bangkok Approach/Don Mueang Approach.
VT-D72
Fuel jettison area has been establish in the Bangkok TMA to facilitate emergency aircraft in the following area.
At NAKON, WEHHA, OPERA and NODEG, pilots are expected to cross these waypoints 2 minutes after preceding. Time constraints will be issued by Bangkok Control. Pilots shall adjust their speed to meet the criteria. If pilot unable to cross these waypoints at the specified time, pilots shall advise ATC as soon as possible, and expect to hold as published on chart at these positions.
If traffic permits, the pilot can expect a shortcut after VASGO direct to NODEG or DUGIX (marked in red color). If ATC provides clearance for the shortcut, while en route to AROKA (marked in green color), the pilot should maintain a speed of 220 KIAS. When the altitude is below 4,000 ft, the pilot will receive another right turn to BD111 (marked in blue color). If traffic permits, pilot can expect a shortcut after BD112 to direct BD111 (marked in blue color).
If traffic permits, the pilot can expect a shortcut after ENDUU or BD115 direct to BD111 (marked in purple color). If there is arrival traffic for VTBS, ATC will provide clearance for the shortcut from OPERA to BD111 (marked in orange color).
Warning For Taxiing Aircraft Landing on Runway 21L
Aircraft landing Runway 21L, when vacating the Runway to the right on Taxiway S, must hold short of Runway 21R at the holding point and remain on Tower frequency 118.100 MHz for permission to cross the Runway. Changing of frequency shall not be done unless advised.
