IV. Air traffic consulting service
1. Definition:
Air traffic advisory service is a service provided for flights implementing IFR
flight plans to ensure separation according to actual conditions in the air traffic advisory
area.
2. Content of air traffic consulting services includes:
a) Advise the flight crew to take off according to the prescribed time and long-haul flight level;
b) Advise the flight crew in handling unsafe situations for the aircraft;
d) Rules and methods for providing air traffic consulting services are specified
in the HKDD not saved method.
e) Based on requirements, density, type and nature of flight operations, the Vietnam
Aviation Administration decides to establish an air traffic advisory area to meet the needs
and safety of flight operations.
3. Scope and objectives of air traffic consulting services
The objective of the air traffic advisory service is to increase the effectiveness of
information on collision hazards between aircraft compared to the level achieved by
providing flight information services alone. Air traffic advisory services can be provided
for aircraft conducting instrument flights in advisory areas or on advisory routes (Class F
airspace). Advisory lines and advisory areas are prescribed by competent state officials
(CHKVN).
b) Air traffic advisory services do not reach the same level of safety as air traffic
control services and cannot assume the same responsibilities as air traffic control in
preventing collisions, because they cannot be completely trusted. all in degree
accuracy and completeness of information related to aircraft positions in the relevant area
and information available at air traffic advisory service providers. To clarify this, when
providing air traffic advisory services, controllers do not issue "commands" but only
"advisory" information.
c) Aircraft using air traffic advisory services. Aircraft performing instrument flights
choose to use air traffic advisory services or at the request of air traffic authorities when
flying in airspace that provides air traffic advisory services (class F airspace). The same
procedures as for controlled flights must be followed, except:
- Do not require clearance on flight plans and changes therein, because the agency
provides and only informs about the main operational situation or proposes specific
solutions;
- The flight crew shall decide whether or not to comply with the recommendations
and suggestions received and notify the supplying agency of their decision without delay;
- Maintain two-way air-ground communication with the designated air traffic agency
to ensure air traffic advisory services in part or all of the advisory airspace.
V. Alarm service
1. Definition, scope of application and emergency stages
a) Definition: Alarm service is a service provided for the purpose of notifying
relevant agencies and units about aircraft requiring search, rescue and assistance as
required.
b) Alarm service is provided for:
- Aircraft are provided with flight control services;
- Other aircraft have filed flight plans or the aircraft has been grounded
ATS recognizes in other ways;
- Aircraft when it is known or believed that it is being illegally interfered with.
- The long-distance control center is the main focal point to collect information about
the danger or accident status of aircraft operating in the center's area of responsibility
and notify this information to the relevant SAR facility.
- When there is a state of danger or distress of an aircraft under the control of the
control tower at the airport or approach control facility or operating facility.
This flight must immediately notify the long-distance control center and this center must notify
the relevant SAR facility.
- Depending on the nature of the emergency, it may not be possible to comply with the
provisions in (3rd bullet point). In that case, the airport control tower or approach control facility
must first raise the alarm and apply measures to deploy to local search and rescue agencies
and units to support
timely help.
c) Emergency stages
- The doubt stage (INCERFA) is when one or more of the following situations occur:
+ No communication from the aircraft is received within 30 minutes after the required time
of communication or from the first failed communication with the aircraft, whichever is earlier;
+ The aircraft does not arrive within 30 minutes, after the estimated arrival time last
announced by the flight crew or estimated by the ATS facility, choose a later time unless there
is no doubt about the safety of the aircraft and people on board. Airplane.
- The alarm phase (ALERFA) is when one or more of the following situations occur:
+ When subsequent attempts to contact the aircraft or ask relevant places for information
about the aircraft are unsuccessful;
+ The aircraft was allowed to land but did not land within 05 minutes after the estimated
time and still could not contact the aircraft;
+ Information received indicates that the aircraft's operational capabilities are impaired, but
not to the extent that a forced landing is required unless there are grounds to alleviate safety
concerns for the aircraft and its personnel. on aircraft;
+ Knowing or believing that the aircraft is being illegally interfered with.
- The emergency phase (DETRESFA) is when one or more situations occur
after:
+ When subsequent attempts to contact the aircraft and have inquired over a larger area
without results, indicate the possibility that the aircraft is in danger or in danger.
problem;
+ The ATS facility determines that the fuel on the aircraft is exhausted or insufficient
aircraft to a safe location;
+ Information received shows that the aircraft's operational ability has been reduced
the level at which a forced landing may be required;
+ When information is received or when there is a basis for certainty that the aircraft is
preparing to proceed or has made a forced landing, except in cases where there is a basis for
certainty that the aircraft and those on board are not threatened direct, not serious and does not
require immediate help.
a) The long-haul control center, when deciding that the aircraft is in the doubt period
or alarm period and the actual conditions allow, must notify the aircraft operator before
notifying the base. SAR. If the aircraft is in an emergency stage, the facility must be notified

in the area of responsibility. its responsibility.
1. Flight control facilities ensure separation between aircraft in one of the following
forms:
2.2. Two flight operations facilities are responsible for providing services at these
Adjacent airspace must agree on the choice of minimum separation when:
a) Aircraft flying from one airspace into an adjacent airspace;
b) The distance of the flight path to the common boundary of small airspaces
than the minimum separation value applicable in those airspaces.
2.3. Details of minimum separation and scope of application must be notified in the
Vietnam Aeronautical Information Information Package (AIP) to relevant air traffic service
providers, flight crews and aircraft operators. mandarin.
3. Visual separation (self-separation):
When requested by an aircraft and with the consent of the pilot of another aircraft
concerned, the appropriate air traffic authority may issue a clearance to the aircraft itself
Maintain separation in Class D and E airspace under visual meteorological conditions, during
daylight hours, maintain self-separation under the following conditions:
a) The system on the aircraft relies on the response device signal of the surveillance radar
Secondary system in which this system operates independently of ground equipment
to provide warnings to the pilot about the risk of collision with aircraft is also equipped
with a secondary surveillance radar response device.
b) Anti-collision systems on aircraft are used by pilots to avoid collisions with
aircraft, increase the ability to perceive air traffic conditions, and proactively detect and
see potentially dangerous aircraft. collision ability.
c) The procedures applied in providing air traffic control services to aircraft equipped
with collision avoidance systems must be the same as those applied to aircraft not equipped
with collision avoidance systems. In particular, in preventing collisions, the establishment of
appropriate separations and the information that can be provided regarding the colliding aircraft
and its
The visibility required to achieve collision avoidance must be consistent with normal air traffic
control procedures and the possibility of an aircraft having a co-pilot must be eliminated.
Depends on collision avoidance equipment.
2. How to handle receiving a warning from the pilot based on the aircraft warning
system: The pilot does not take
any action if the collision system only reports the air traffic situation (Traffic Advisories -TAs )
a) TAs indicate a warning to the pilot that is likely to be followed by a resolution advisory -
RA), to increase air traffic situational awareness and to assist in visual observation of aircraft
at risk of collision. In particular, visual observation can lead
to errors at night.
b) The use of TAs with upper limits is because the accuracy is limited and
It is difficult to decipher the relative altitude of the other aircraft from the information shown above
screen.
a) TCAS is an aircraft collision warning system designed to reduce accidents caused by mid-
air collisions between aircraft. It monitors the space around one aircraft and other aircraft

than 19 passengers.
guest.
b) TCAS includes information between aircraft equipped with transponders. Each aircraft
with TCAS will ask all other aircraft within a specified range about its position (with a frequency
of 1,030 MHz) and all other aircraft answer the above question (with a frequency of 1,090 MHz).
This question-answer cycle happens several times per second.
c) Because the alternating question and answer response is constant, TCAS will build

Next, the potential risk of collision will be determined. TCAS and its variables can only
communicate with aircraft with transponders operating in Mode C or Mode S. A 24-bit identification
string is assigned to each aircraft with a transponder operating in Mode S. This string will be
decoded later.
d) TCAS, in addition to determining collisions, also automatically communicates

The flight crew will follow suit.
4. Short Term Collision Warning System (STCA - Short Term Conflict Alert) a)
STCA is an automatic warning function of the system based on the database
Surveillance data aims to promptly support air traffic control to prevent collisions between
aircraft by creating warnings about the possibility of violating or having violated the
minimum separation of aircraft.
b) Warning form: By image, sound.
c) STCA uses surveillance information from radar sources, ADS - B... and flight plan
information to predict the aircraft's movement trajectory. Generation
The system will calculate and warn air traffic controllers if the aircraft tends to violate the
minimum wing separation. The STCA warning status on the screen is set to display
according to the aircraft's conflict trend.
IX. Air traffic control orders and directives
1. Command
1.1 Definition: An air traffic control clearance is an order issued by the flight control
facility to an aircraft to conduct a flight under the conditions prescribed by the flight control
facility, which may be accompanied by the words "taxi", "" takeoff", "departure", "long haul",
"approach", "landing" refer to the parts of the flight to which the clearance refers.
b) If the pilot of the aircraft believes that an air traffic control directive is not
appropriate, the flight crew may request, if possible, a revised directive.
c) Directives included in the orders related to flight levels include:
- Long-haul flight levels, or for the ascending phase take long-haul flight levels,
flight levels, and if necessary, at a point where clearance is in force for the relevant
flight levels.

provide services. The flight management unit of the Ministry of National Defense operates
flights for military operations and other flights authorized by the flight licensing agency in an
additional document.
depends on its ability to provide services.
- When there are mixed civil and military flight activities, direct command and control in
the shared airport airspace is carried out from a mixed command post.
- When conducting civil flight training in airport airspace, the training facility must have
a commander of the training aircraft.
- The operation of military aircraft operating in airways, flight areas serving general
aviation activities, and airport airspace must be on the basis of
Cooperation between air traffic service providers and military flight management agencies.

National Flight Operations Management Agency of the Ministry of Defense.
5.5. Flight separation between military aircraft and civil aircraft
a) Flight separation between military aircraft and civil aircraft is carried out according
to Civil Aviation Air Traffic Regulations or Flight Rules of the Ministry of National Defense,
whichever is safer.

b) Flight control facilities ensure separation between aircraft in one of the following
forms:
- High separation by designating different flight levels selected in the long-haul flight
level table specified in Circular 19/2017/TT-BGTVT Regulations on management and
assurance of flight operations.
- Flat separation:
+ Vertical separation is the maintenance of distance between aircraft on the same
flight path, on converging or opposing routes, in units of time or distance;
41
To determine the maximum number of aircraft that can be safely secured, the
appropriate competent air traffic management agency should evaluate and announce
the flight control capacity for each control area and each subdivision. control within a
control area and for airports.
2. The need for flexible use of airspace (FUA)
Through concluded agreements and protocols, appropriate authorities should
create flexible methods for the use of airspace with the aim of increasing the
capacity to use the airspace and improving efficiency.
Where applicable, arrangements and procedures should be established based on
regional air traffic arrangements.
3. Responsibilities and goals of airspace management
- The appropriate competent air traffic management agency should:
a) Periodically review the capacity to provide air traffic services (ATS) based on
flight traffic requirements; and
b) Ensure flexible use of airspace to improve efficiency and increase
capacity of flight operations.
In case the demand for regular flight operations exceeds capacity
flight operations by air traffic control agencies, leading to continuous and frequent
delays in flight operations, or when there is a clear forecast that the demand for flight
operations will exceed the limited value of operating capacity. Air traffic control
authorities should, as soon as possible,:
c) Take steps to optimize the use of existing system capacity; and
42
carried out only in areas where dynamic flight trajectory requirements are not
suitable; and Airspace must be organized so that it is easy to implement,
understand, and use by air traffic management units.
4. Basic principles of airspace management
- Appropriate authorities need to approve the establishment of agreements
regulations and procedures, providing regulations for the flexible use of all
airspace to increase airspace capacity and improve the efficiency and flexibility of
aircraft operations. Where applicable, arrangements and procedures should be
established on the basis of a regional air traffic agreement.
- Agreements and methods to provide for flexible use of airspace need to be
regulated, including:
+ Horizontal limit and altitude limit of the relevant airspace;
+ Classify any available airspace for use in flight operations
HKDD;
+ Competent units or agencies are responsible for this
airspace transfer;
+ Conditions for transferring airspace to relevant air traffic control agencies;
+ Conditions for transfer of airspace from relevant air traffic control agencies;
43
- Restructuring the flight system will only be applied where there is a requirement to
improve airspace exploitation capacity or to avoid areas where entry/exit is restricted or
dangerous conditions exist. dangerous;
- This unified airspace organization and management principle will be applied to all
areas. The global principle will apply at all densities and will affect the total amount of flight
activity. Complex operations can limit flexibility; and
The areas that must strive for the earliest and shortest implementation are the places
fails to meet community air traffic management expectations.

3. Minutes-in-trail (MINIT)
A tactical solution was applied by regulating the number of minutes between
successive aircraft. This solution is often used in airspace without air traffic surveillance or
when transitioning from monitored airspace to unmonitored airspace, or when air traffic
controllers have difficulty using it.
Use horizontal separation in miles

prescribed minimum); The strategy is used to arrange flights according to flow as well
as increase airspace to absorb new flights (takeoff or increase flights) into existing air
traffic flow.
5. Reroute
A tactical ATFM solution consists of a different route assigned by ATC than that
indicated by the submitted flight plan. Reassigning flight routes can be done in many
different ways, depending on unexpected situations. Pre-arranged routes are designated
for flights to avoid overruns, primarily for reasons of weather or special use airspace;
can synergize with the flight before departure or at takeoff.
6. Fix balancing
A tactical ATFM solution helps spread demand and avoid delays. The aircraft is
assigned to a different landing or take-off channel/group than indicated in the flight plan.
This solution can also be used
Used during periods of convective weather when a standard arrives by instrument
(STAR) or an instrument departure standard (SID) is not available.
7. Minimize takeoff distance (MDIs)
A tactical ATFM solution is implemented when ATC establishes a departure flow
at a frequency of 3 minutes between departing flights. MDIs are typically applied at a
frequency of no more than 30 minutes at a time and are typically applied when the
departures area becomes particularly busy or when capacity is unexpectedly reduced
(such as due to equipment failure). equipment, unfavorable meteorological conditions).
9. Ground Stop
A tactical ATFM solution that maintains a selected number of aircraft on the
ground. Because of the influence a GS has over an AU, the selected ATFM solutions
must be thoroughly explored and implemented before a GS, within the time and
circumstances permitting. GS commonly uses:
a. in case of reduced capacity at airports due to severe meteorological conditions
or aircraft incidents/accidents;
b. to prevent the processes of intensification of space occupation, subdivisions/
centers approaching saturation or airport congestion;
54
c. when a facility is unable or not fully capable of providing air traffic services due
to force majeure circumstances; and
d. when flight routes are not ready for operation due to bad weather conditions or
serious disaster situations.
10. Airplane Holding
A strategically designed tactical ATFM solution. It is the process of requiring
aircraft to wait at a key point according to a predetermined standard waiting procedure.
This method is typically used for short periods of time when demand and capacity are
out of balance. It may also permit the establishment of a number of aircraft that can
take advantage of temporary increases in capacity for short periods of time, such as
what occurs in bad weather situations.
1. Collect and collate data on the air navigation infrastructure and on the
capabilities of the ATC system and selected airports in the ATFM region, including
runways, taxiways and gates onion. This includes possible air traffic flow management
issues;
2. Collect and analyze data for all planned controlled flight operations to, from, in
and over the ATFM area;
3. Determine a coherent overview of expected air traffic demand, including projections
predict incoming traffic, compare with available capacity, and determine areas and
periods of predicted air traffic background;
4. Coordinate with appropriate ATS agencies to make all possible efforts
to increase available ATC capacity when needed. In some specific situations, it may be
advantageous for national and local planning committees to be established, with
representation from national ATS, airport authorities, national and international
operators. Such committees can make a significant contribution when developing
strategies to reduce the impact of peak demand periods; and
5. Where there is a shortage of ATC capability, it is not possible to eliminate,
identify and implement in due course appropriate tactical measures in coordination
within the ATPM area when necessary and with aircraft/airport operators fly.
VIII. Contingency Plan; Overview, scale, responsibility for implementing,
promoting and applying the Response Plan
1. Overview
a) Guidance on contingency measures applicable in the event of disruption of air
traffic services and related support services approved by the Council in response to
Council Resolution A23-12 following a study of the Aeronautics Committee and
consultation with relevant States and international organizations, as required by the
Resolution. Their purpose is to assist in providing air traffic flow
55
safe and orderly international aviation in the event of disruption to air traffic services
and related support services and to protect the availability of world air routes within
the air transport system in such cases suitable like that.
b) The guidelines have been developed to recognize that the realities of the
circumstances before and during the events that cause service disruptions to
international civil aviation, vary widely and that contingency measures, including
access to designated airports for humanitarian reasons, in response to specific events
and circumstances adapted to these circumstances. They set out the allocation of
responsibility between States and ICAO for the conduct of contingency planning and
the measures to be considered in the development, adoption and de-application of
such plans. c)
Guidelines based on experience have shown that the impact of service
disruptions in specific airspace regions is likely to be significant.
to services in adjacent airspace zones, thereby creating a requirement for international
coordination - hence ICAO's role in the area of contingency planning and coordination
of such plans, as defined meaning by the instructions. They also reflect experience
that ICAO's role in contingency planning should be global and not limited to maritime
airspace and areas of undetermined sovereignty, if airways are available major
international in the air transport system. Finally, they further reflect the fact that
relevant international organizations such as the International Air Transport Association
(IATA) and the International Federation of Air Line Pilots (IFALPA) are valuable
advisors.
about the feasibility of plans and elements of those plans.
2. Status of contingency plans
Contingency plans to provide alternative facilities and services
for facilities provided in a regional air navigation plan when such facilities and services
are temporarily unavailable. The redundancy arrangements are therefore of a
temporary nature, remaining in force only until the plan services and facilities are
reactivated and, accordingly, do not constitute amendments to the regional plan.
Areas that need to be treated according to "Procedure for the Amendment of
Approved Regional Plans" - "Procedure for the Amendment of Approved Regional Plans".
3. Responsibility for developing, promulgating and implementing contingency plans
a) States are responsible for providing air traffic services and services
The relevant support in specific airspace zones is also responsible, in the event of
interruption or interruption of the availability of these services, to put in place
measures to ensure the safety of civil aviation operations internationally and can
provide alternative facilities and services. Therefore, countries will develop, promulgate
and implement appropriate contingency plans. Such plans will be developed in
consultation with other States concerned and with ICAO, as appropriate, whenever
the effects of service disruptions are likely to occur.
affecting services in adjacent airspace areas.
56
4. Preparatory action
a) Time is essential in contingency planning if hazards to air navigation systems
are to be adequately prevented. Timely introduction of contingency arrangements
requires initiative and decisive action, again assuming that contingency plans have, to
the extent possible, been completed and agreed between the parties involved. before
an event occurs that requires contingency action, including how and when arrangements
are made.
b) For the reasons set out above, States should take preparatory action, as
appropriate, to facilitate the timely introduction of proposed arrangements.
room. Such preparatory actions should include:
- Prepare general contingency plans for referrals to events
foreseeable events such as strikes or labor unrest affecting the provision of air traffic
services and/or support services. In recognition that the world aviation community is not
involved in such disputes, States providing services in maritime airspace or indeterminate
sovereignty should take appropriate action to ensure that International air traffic services
will be provided for international civil aviation operations in non-sovereign airspace. For
the same reason, States providing air traffic services in their own airspace or, in the
airspace of another State should take appropriate action to ensure that regular air traffic
services will be provided. providing for international civil operations
57
the person/administrative unit to carry out such monitoring and, where necessary, to
initiate effective follow-up action;
- Appoint/establish a central authority, in the event of disruption to air traffic services
and introduce contingency arrangements, that can provide, 24 hours a day, up-to-date
information on the situation and related backup measures until the system has returned to
normal. A coordinated group should be indicated
located within or associated with such a central authority for the purpose of coordinating
activities during a disruption.
c) ICAO will be prepared to monitor developments that may lead to circumstances
requiring contingency arrangements to be developed and applied. During a potential crisis,
a coordination team will be established at the relevant Regional Office and at ICAO
Headquarters in Montreal and arrangements will be made for competent personnel to be
present. or accessible 24 hours a day. The task of these teams will be to monitor
information continuously from all appropriate sources, arrange for the continuous supply
of relevant information received by the national AIS service at the Office location and
Regional Headquarters, liaise with relevant international organizations and their regional
organizations, as appropriate, and exchange updates with States directly concerned and
States that are Potential participation in standby arrangements. After analyzing all available
data, authority will be obtained to initiate necessary action in the cases.
58
- Establish a simple route network through the relevant airspace, if any, along with
a flight level allocation diagram to ensure horizontal and vertical separation and approach
procedures for adjacent ACCs next to
establish vertical separation at entry points and maintain separation through airspace;
- Reassigning responsibility for providing air traffic services in airspace over the
sea or in authorized airspace;
- Implement and provide adequate information on air-ground communication
systems, AFTN and ATS direct voice transmission, including reallocation to neighboring
countries of responsibility for providing meteorological information and information on
navigation methods and navigation aids;
- Special arrangements for preparing, collecting and disseminating in-flight and post-
flight reports from aircraft;
- Require aircraft to maintain continuous listening on the pilot-pilot VHF frequency
in designated areas where ground communications are unreliable or non-existent and
preferably broadcast in English, through position information and an estimate of that
frequency, including initiation and completion of climb and descent.
- Require all aircraft in designated areas to display navigation lights and anti-
collision lights at all times;
- A requirement and method for vertical separation of aircraft from previous aircraft
at the same flight level;
- Requirement to increase/decrease altitude to be performed to the right of the specifically
determined flight path center;
- Establish arrangements to control entry into the reserve area
to prevent overloading the backup system;
- Require all operations in the contingency area to be conducted in accordance
with IFR, including the allocation of IFR flight levels from the Table of Flight Levels in
Appendix 3 of Appendix 2 of the ATS routes in the area.
c) Notice of NOTAM to users of air navigation services regarding expected or actual
disruption of air traffic services and/or services
