The purpose of the ground controller position is to provide air traffic control services related to aircraft movements on the ground. The ground controller is one of the key positions within the air traffic control system responsible for coordinating and guiding aircraft on the airport surface. Additionaly due to lack of traffic, Samui Ground will be giving departure clearance.

The squawk code for Bangkok FIR are as follows:
Flight Status | SSR Code |
---|---|
International | 0700-0777, 6100-6177 |
Domestic | 1260-1277, 3301-3377, 4200-4277, 4400-4477, 4500-4577, 7200-7277 |
It is recommended to use the squawk request system in Aurora to prevent duplication of squawk codes.
The ground controller and tower controller coordinate for the transfer of aircraft control. Ideally, the transfer occurs before the aircraft reaches the holding point for the runway. This promotes smoother traffic flow.
The purpose of the tower controller position is to provide air traffic control services related to the management of aircraft within the airport's air traffic zone. The tower controller is one of the key positions within the air traffic control system responsible for ensuring the safe and efficient movement of aircraft in the vicinity of the airport.
