Control towers at airports near the coast should have adequate meteorological equipment, and the controllers should improve their skills in controlling aircraft during approach. |
Issued: -- | To: | VN-A449 (4) |
Regarding Nha Trang Airport, if there appears a typhoon 250-400 km away, that typhoon should be watched and kept trace. If the typhoon is within a radius of 200 km or the airport is within the typhoon area, an alert should be initiated and the airport should be closed. Aircraft should be flown at the level of at least 2,000 metres above the highest obstacle along the route W-13 (Da Lat - Nha Trang). |
