Thumamah East VRP Thumamah East VRP is where the road intersection and the
two telecom towers 		RDL 005 from KIA 19 NM 251250.0N
0464820.0E

 

2.22.3.1 Departure procedure:

RWY 35 Departure:
  1. After departure, maintain runway heading until at least 800 AGL (2600 MSL).
  2. After 2600 MSL, make a right turn to Thumamah North VRP and continue climb to 3000 MSL or as directed by ATC              
  •  If utilizing a training area, transition to and enter the training areas via the WEST border by following Hwy 550.      
  • If not utilizing a training area, proceed to the North VRP and then as directed by ATC.

RWY 17 Departure:
  1. After departure, maintain runway heading until at least 400 AGL (2300 MSL).
  2. After 2300 MSL, continue right traffic circuit until established on the downwind at appropriate TPA.
  3. After crossing abeam the number 17, right turn direct Thumamah North VRP, climb an maintain 3000 MSL.
  • If utilizing a training area, transition to and enter the training areas via the WEST border by following Hwy 550.
  • If not utilizing a training area, proceed to the North VRP and then as directed by ATC.

Note:
  1. Pilots shall NOT accept ATC clearance that includes eastbound turn after departing RWY 17.
  2. Gyrocopter departing to the North VRP shall give the way to other landing traffic.
  3. Pilot shall maintain appropriate speed and altitude to ensure proper separation.

2.22.3.2 Arrival procedure:

Arrival from EAST:
  1. Traffic shall proceed to East VRP.
  2. Monitor Thumamah frequency (124.400) prior approaching any of the visual reporting point (VRP).
  3. Arriving at East VRP, descend and maintain 3500 MSL until passing the mountain ridge, descend to appropriate TPA
  4. Upon approaching mid-field, look for other traffic in the pattern, plan your sequence, announce your intention, turn to join downwind for runway in use.

Arrival from WEST:
  1. Monitor Thumamah frequency (124.400).
  2. Report field in-sight to Riyadh approach not less than 5 NM.
  3. Once released from Riyadh radar, descend to appropriate traffic pattern altitude.
  4. While clear of OETH traffic pattern (west of Thumamah highway) maneuvre to join a 45-degree enter for downwind leg for the runway in use.

Note:
  1. Arriving traffic shall monitor other aircraft in the traffic pattern and plan for a proper sequence to join downwind.
  2. Traffic already established in the pattern has the right of way over arriving traffic.
  3. It is important to be at the right TPA before crossing the runway to allow for better visibility of other traffic
  4. Large and turbine-powered aircraft should follow the same procedure at an altitude of not less than 500 feet above the established pattern altitude after coordination with Ryiadh ATC.
