SPEED RESTRICTIONS FOR TRAFFIC DESTINED FOR KUALA LUMPUR
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (KLIA)
1.
INTRODUCTION
1.1
FLOW management is used to regulate traffic destined for KLIA. The flow control sequencing
action, as described in AIP ENR 1.9 – 1, may include:
a)
speed control;
b)
radar vectoring; and
c)
holding.
1.2
The purpose of this AIP Supplement is to notify the aviation industry of speed restrictions for
traffic destined for KLIA to achieve optimum runway capacity at Kuala Lumpur International
Airport.
2.
SPEED INSTRUCTIONS BY ATC
2.1
AIP ENR1.4 – 2 and 1.5 – 5 stipulates that arriving IFR aircraft are not restricted to 250 KIAS
below 10,000 ft but speed restrictions for flow control purposes will be issued by ATC when
necessary.
2.2
The above paragraph is still applicable to IFR aircraft destined for Malaysian civil airports
other than KLIA. To better regulate the flow of traffic into KLIA, the speed restriction of 250
KIAS below 10,000 ft is now applicable unless ATC issues the instruction “maintain high
speed”.
1
2.3
Pilots can expect the following instructions from ATC prior to top of descent.
ATC instruction
PILOT action
“Descend at (xxx) knots”
Descend at (xxx) KIAS, reduce speed to 250
KIAS on passing 10,000 ft and thereafter follow
speeds depicted on the STAR.
“Maintain high speed”
Maintain as high a speed as possible consistent with aircraft performance profiles/airline
SOPs. (Speed restriction of 250 KIAS below
10,000 ft does not apply).
“Hold at (xxx), leave at (time)”
Hold at (xxx), leave at (time or up to a minute
before) at 250 KIAS and thereafter follow
speeds depicted on the STAR.
“resume normal speed”
If below 300 KIAS above 10,000 ft, increase
speed to 300 KIAS, reduce speed to 250 KIAS
on passing 10,000 ft and thereafter follow
speeds depicted on the STAR.
No speed instructions issued
Descend at 300 KIAS, reduce speed to 250
KIAS on passing 10,000 ft and thereafter follow
speeds depicted on the STAR.
2.4
Pilots wishing to descend at their calculated economic speeds that differ from those
issued by ATC shall notify ATC. These flights may lose their slots in the flow
sequence.

SPEED LIMITATION POINTS WHEN STAR IS CANCELLED
4.1
Pilots shall adopt the following speeds when notified that the STAR is cancelled:
a) Under radar vectors
•
•
•
•
b)
250 KIAS on passing 10,000ft;
220 KIAS on turning base;
180 KIAS on turning to intercept the localizer;
160 KIAS from 10 NM until 4 NM to touchdown.
Own navigation to intercept the final approach track
•
•
•
•
250 KIAS on passing 10,000ft;
220 KIAS 20 track miles from touchdown;
180 KIAS 15 track miles from touchdown;
160 KIAS from 10 NM until 4 NM to touchdown.
4.2
ATC may issue other speeds to achieve a more accurate spacing, e.g. 220 KIAS prior
to base turn.
5.
CANCELLATION OF SPEED RESTRICTIONS
5.1
Pilots need not adopt the speed restrictions at the speed limitation points when they
are issued a “No ATC Speed Restriction” clearance by ATC.
6.
IMPLEMENTATION
6.1
This AIP Supplement becomes effective at 0001UTC on 30 August 2007
7.
