¶ 5. ATC POSITION PROCEDURE
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 Suvarnabhumi Airport receives Full ATS Communication Facilities, the controller must ensure to verify the next controller's frequency accurately before transferring instructions to the pilot.

¶ 7. LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS
For more information: AIP THAILAND, On Part 3, AD 2 Aerodromes, VTBS
¶ 7.1. Runway Operation
- Suvarnabhumi Airport has a parallel runway operations procedure.
- Most of the time, one runway is designated for departures and the other for arrivals. However, this may change depending on the traffic volume and ground conditions.
- For efficient air traffic management and traffic flow, runway 19L and 01L are primarily used for departures, while runway 19R and 01R are used for arrivals.
- Please refer to the NOTAM or any supplements in the AIP for any possible changes that may occur.
¶ 7.2. Push back and Taxi Procedure
To avoid jet blast in the apron areas, pilots are urgently requested to strictly adhere to the startup and pushback procedures. They should use minimum breakaway power and taxi power when operating on the aprons and taxilanes. Additionally, aircraft should be pushed back and towed forward along the yellow taxilane center line marking.
Pushback and startup instructions can be found in the AIP THAILAND in Part 3, AD 2 Aerodromes, VTBS AD 2.20.4.
To improve the flow of ground traffic at Suvarnabhumi Airport, there is a designated taxi route for inbound and outbound aircraft. The taxi route can be found in the AIP THAILAND in Part 3, AD 2 Aerodromes, VTBS AD 2.20.5. There is also a chart available in the AIP displaying the taxi route for each runway.
¶ 7.3. Helicopter Operation
Landing area and condition of flying into Suvarnabhumi Airport are as follow:
- FATO: on the middle of RWY 01R/19L
- TLOF : on the portion of taxiway C, between C8-C10
- Type of Traffic Permitted: VFR.
- Operational Hours: during sunrise to sunset with minimum ground time not over 60 min.
- General Conditions: Pilot must strictly follow ATC’s instruction and comply with airport’s safety and security measures.
FATO - Final Approach and Take off
TLOF - Touchdown and Lift-off area
¶ 7.4. Fuel Jettison Area
Fuel jettison area has been establish in the Bangkok TMA to facilitate emergency aircraft in the following area.
- North fuel dumping area: between R-335 and R-355, distance of 30 to 50 NM from BKK VOR, altitude at or above 8,500 ft.
- East fuel dumping area: between R-090 and R-110, distance of 30 to 50 NM from BKK VOR, altitude at or above 8,500 ft.
- South fuel dumping area: between R-190 and R-210, distance of 30 to 50 NM from BKK VOR, altitude at or above 8,500 ft.
¶ 8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
¶ Special Procedure
In the event that there is less traffic departing and arriving in the Bangkok TMA, shortcuts could be issued to aircraft arriving at Suvarnabhumi Airport. To facilitate these shortcuts, the approach controller must Cancel Level Restrictions imposed on aircraft according to the STARs. Once the approach controller cancels the level restrictions, they can issue lower clearances for the arriving aircraft to facilitate the shortcuts, as shown below.
¶ Runway 19L/R
Aircraft arriving on the NORTA3C or WILLA3C STARs can expect a shortcut at BS502 direct to ROMME (19R) / LANCO (19L) or RYAUN (19R) / LINSY (19L). It is recommended that aircraft maintain an altitude of at or below 5,000 ft at BS502 to utilize this shortcut. If the aircraft is unable to take the initial shortcut, the next available shortcut is at WALTZ direct to REWCO (19R) / LEMOS (19L).
Aircraft arriving on the DOLNI3C, EASTE3C or LEBIM3C STARs can expect a shortcut at BS503 direct to ROMME (19R) / LANCO (19L). It is recommended that aircraft maintain an altitude of at or below 4,500 ft at BS503 to utilize this shortcut. If the aircraft is unable to take the initial shortcut, the next available shortcut is at BS501 direct to RYAUN (19R) / LINSY (19L). It is recommended that aircraft maintain an altitude of at or below 5,000 ft at BS501 to utilize this shortcut. If the aircraft is unable to take the second shortcut, the next available shortcut is at EKCHO direct to REWCO (19R) / LEMOS (19L).
¶ Runway 01L/R
Aircraft arriving on the NORTA3D or WILLA3D STARs can expect a shortcut at TAPPA direct to LONNY (01R) / RAYPA (01L). It is recommended that aircraft maintain an altitude of at or below 4,500 ft at TAPPA to utilize this shortcut. If the aircraft is unable to take the initial shortcut, the next available shortcut is at WOCAL direct to RISSE (19L) / LACOS (19R).
Aircraft arriving on the DOLNI3C, EASTE3C or LEBIM3C STARs can expect a shortcut at SALSA direct to LONNY (01R) / RAYPA (01L). It is recommended that aircraft maintain an altitude of at or below 4,500 ft at SALSA to utilize this shortcut. If the aircraft is unable to take the initial shortcut, the next available shortcut is at ENKAA direct to RISSE (19L) / LACOS (19R).
