VQPR AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1 General
Flight within Paro air traffic circuit shall be in accordance with the Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC).

a) Prior operating into Paro airport the pilot in- command should be briefed and visit the aerodrome
as an observer.

- or should Undertake instruction in a simulator approved by the authority for that purpose.

- or Request guide pilot (navigator) from the Authorised Clearing Agent.

b) In order to avoid unnecessary delay while departing from Paro, relevant clearances (YANKEE
ALPHA NUMBER) from DGCA India and other relevant clearances from the respective authority
must be obtained to over fly/transiting through the respective airspaces.

c) Specific date & time of arrival/departure or over flying/transiting should be clearly mentioned
while obtaining such clearances.

d) Last minute change in flight plan could lead to DELAY OF FLIGHT TO OBTAIN NEW
ADC/FIC. Therefore, it is recommended that all flights are to adhere with planned flight plan or
inform to ARO regarding the changes in flight plan at least one day prior. DoAT Bhutan shall not
be responsible for the delay of flight.

e) Flight wishing to depart early morning from Paro (BTN 0000–0400 UTC), is recommended to file
the flight plan at least one day prior to departure from Paro to avoid delay in obtaining ADC/FIC
from INDIA FIR/FIC.

4 Procedures for IFR flights with in Paro air traffic circuit

Due to high terrain and steep mountains adjacent to the aerodrome, only flight in VMC is permitted.

5 Procedures for flights to/from Paro AD

5.1 ATC clearance for flights will be given under the conditions described below:

a) A flight plan containing items 7 to 18 and indicating the purpose of the flight, shall be submitted to Paro
ATC.

b) ATC and ADC/FIC clearance number shall be obtained before the aircraft Taxi out.

c) Position reports shall be submitted in accordance with 3.6.3 of ICAO Annex 2.

d) Deviation from the ATC clearance may only be made when prior permission has been obtained.

e) Two-ways radio communication shall be maintained on the frequency 120.3 MHz.

5.2 With the high terrain and rapid phenomenon change of weather in and around the Paro aerodrome, all
flights are operated in VMC, therefore any aircraft operating in Bhutanese territory are required to
obtain weather information from Paro aerodrome at least one hour prior to departure.

5.3 Paro weather will available on HF Radio on freq. 8921Khz and 13342Khz, call sign Paro radio or can
be requested on AFTN i.e. On VQPRYMYX, VQPRZTZX, VQPRZPZX.

5.4 Arrival Instruction

5.4.1 Flight plan should be filed on AFTN/Fax prior one hour departure followed by status of flight, in the
event of any delay or cancellation of flight likely to occur.

5.4.2 Airborne call is must as soon as the aircraft departs from the departure aerodrome with the ATD and
ETA over Paro. Airborne time & ETA should be informed to Paro radio on HF.

5.4.3 Entry/Exit from/to Bhutan to Indian airspace is on positive R/T contact with Hasimara (IAF 130.4MHz)
Bagdogra (IAF 131.2MHz) and Guwahati (Civil ACC 120.5MHz or Civil APP 123.9MHz) as
applicable ( See AIP India for latest Frequency).

5.4.4 Entry/Exit into circuit area is via Chhuzom (confluence of rivers Paro Thimphu) at safety altitude.
Descend below safety altitude only in VMC. All arriving aircraft to contact Paro tower atleast 38 NM
before reaching confluence.

5.4.5 TA18,000, TL will be passed by ATC

(a) Circuit area/pattern is generally to the west of airfield. Aircraft on circuit may not be visible to
ATC, due to hills, descending circuit.

(b) Towards North/North East of the airfield the Dupshare valley is unsafe and not Permitted for
circuit.

5.4.6 Final approach track for both runway is curved due to hilly terrain, “EXERCISE CAUTION”.
Approach on final is above 3ºGP. No visual guidance like VASI. PAPI. ILS, Runway lights e.t.c.,
available on final.

5.4.7 Surface winds conditions at different positions of runway can be requested. Surface winds increase in
intensity usually in the afternoon hours.

5.4.8 Severe turbulence may experience when entering the valley.

5.4.9 Strong anabatic wind in the afternoon (Feb – May) may give raise to moderate to severe turbulence; it is

4 Procedures for IFR flights with in Paro air traffic circuit

Due to high terrain and steep mountains adjacent to the aerodrome, only flight in VMC is permitted.

5 Procedures for flights to/from Paro AD

5.1 ATC clearance for flights will be given under the conditions described below:

a) A flight plan containing items 7 to 18 and indicating the purpose of the flight, shall be submitted to Paro
ATC.

b) ATC and ADC/FIC clearance number shall be obtained before the aircraft Taxi out.

c) Position reports shall be submitted in accordance with 3.6.3 of ICAO Annex 2.

d) Deviation from the ATC clearance may only be made when prior permission has been obtained.

e) Two-ways radio communication shall be maintained on the frequency 120.3 MHz.

5.2 With the high terrain and rapid phenomenon change of weather in and around the Paro aerodrome, all
flights are operated in VMC, therefore any aircraft operating in Bhutanese territory are required to
obtain weather information from Paro aerodrome at least one hour prior to departure.

5.3 Paro weather will available on HF Radio on freq. 8921Khz and 13342Khz, call sign Paro radio or can
be requested on AFTN i.e. On VQPRYMYX, VQPRZTZX, VQPRZPZX.

5.4 Arrival Instruction

5.4.1 Flight plan should be filed on AFTN/Fax prior one hour departure followed by status of flight, in the
event of any delay or cancellation of flight likely to occur.

5.4.2 Airborne call is must as soon as the aircraft departs from the departure aerodrome with the ATD and
ETA over Paro. Airborne time & ETA should be informed to Paro radio on HF.

5.4.3 Entry/Exit from/to Bhutan to Indian airspace is on positive R/T contact with Hasimara (IAF 130.4MHz)
Bagdogra (IAF 131.2MHz) and Guwahati (Civil ACC 120.5MHz or Civil APP 123.9MHz) as
applicable ( See AIP India for latest Frequency).

5.4.4 Entry/Exit into circuit area is via Chhuzom (confluence of rivers Paro Thimphu) at safety altitude.
Descend below safety altitude only in VMC. All arriving aircraft to contact Paro tower atleast 38 NM
before reaching confluence.

5.4.5 TA18,000, TL will be passed by ATC

(a) Circuit area/pattern is generally to the west of airfield. Aircraft on circuit may not be visible to
ATC, due to hills, descending circuit.

(b) Towards North/North East of the airfield the Dupshare valley is unsafe and not Permitted for
circuit.

5.4.6 Final approach track for both runway is curved due to hilly terrain, “EXERCISE CAUTION”.
Approach on final is above 3ºGP. No visual guidance like VASI. PAPI. ILS, Runway lights e.t.c.,
available on final.

5.4.7 Surface winds conditions at different positions of runway can be requested. Surface winds increase in
intensity usually in the afternoon hours.

5.4.8 Severe turbulence may experience when entering the valley.

5.4.9 Strong anabatic wind in the afternoon (Feb – May) may give raise to moderate to severe turbulence; it is
recommended to restrict flight movement to the morning.

5.4.10 Only one aircraft at a time is permitted to Descend in a valley.
