Right-hand circuits for RWY 13. Left-hand circuit may be used if coordinated with ABHA APP.

2.22.2.6 Departure procedures:

RWY	Description	Restriction
13	Climb on runway heading to 9000 FT then proceed via flight planned route to cleared flight level.	Minimum climb Gradient 5.5 % (334FT/NM) up to 9000 ft. If unable to comply, procedure not authorized.
31	Climb on runway heading to 10500 FT then proceed via flight planned route to cleared flight level.	Minimum climb Gradient 5.5 % (334FT/NM) up to 10500 ft. If unable to comply, procedure not authorized.

2.22.3 ATC SURVEILLANCE PROCEDURES WITHIN ABHA TMA/CTA

ABHA approach control service operates Terminal Area Surveillance Radar (TMAR) one station located at Abha Airport. The Abha station has a combined PSR (maximum primary radar ranges is 80 NM). And MSSR Mode-S system (maximum secondary radar ranges is 250 NM).
The Abha Radar provides the TMA service and it is a Mode-S MSSR Radar overlapping Al-Sodah Radar MSSR Mode-S from ground level (6800FT above sea level) and above, providing maximum radar ranges of 250 NM from FL300 and above.
Al-Sodah Radar is a Mode-S MSSR Radar overlapping the Abha Radar MSSR Mode-S at 9000FT and above, providing maximum radar ranges of 250 NM from FL300 and above.
All aircraft must squawk the transponder on the last assigned code until / unless otherwise instructed.
For radar procedures, refer to ENR 1.6 RADAR SERVICES AND PROCEDURES.
For cross-checking of altitudes assigned while under radar control, refer to ATC Surveillance Minimum Altitude Chart.

2.22.4 RADAR VECTORING AND SEQUENCING

Radar vectoring within the limits of controlled airspace and radar coverage. If no instructions are received from ATC, pilots are required to follow the Flight Plan Route or for which initial clearance is given.
After Take-off, ATC may direct aircraft by radar vectoring within the limits of controlled airspace and radar coverage unless otherwise coordinated with Jeddah ACC.
In the event of radar failure or loss of radar identification follow COM failure procedure on ENR 1.6.
