For preparation before flying into the Middle East/Asia region, we recommend the following (additional)
reading material:

2. Aircraft Requirements

• HF/SELCAL
Both HF Sets are required as well as one SELCAL channel
• ETOPS Capability
Especially in areas east of India, ETOPS will be planned.
• Air Conditioning Packs
Both should be working due to very high terrain in Afghanistan/Pakistan (Hindukush)

Arrival / Parking / Departure

APPROACH may ask for distance and radial inbound GGO. Arriving traffic is kept on R348 inbound,
whilst departing traffic uses R333 outbound.
Parking Positions are normally 7 or 8 on civil apron. Expect high amount of bureaucracy on ground.
For departure expect initially RWY heading, thereafter a right turn to intercept R333 to OKILA.

Arrival / Parking / Departure

The approach may either an RNAV (GNSS) RWY09 or even in light tailwinds the ILS27.
The MAP Waypoint of the RNAV09 is 1nm before the beginning of the RWY.
The ILS has an offset of 2 (267 versus 265).
Standard Parking Positions are 6 or 7.
For departure expect the NICON SID of either RWY, followed by shortcut (“when passing 2500ft, turn
left/right HDG __”, later on “direct NICON/SAPAM”.
Departure Frequencies are Phuket Approach on 124.7, thereafter Bangkok Control on 125.7 followed by
Lumpur Control on VHF/HF and Chennai on HF.
An Air Defence Clearance 10min prior entering India is mandatory.

6.6 Male (MLE / VRMM)

Terrain
The terrain around the airport is flat. The MSA is all around 1500ft, with a highest obstacle of 250ft.

Weather

Tropical monsoon climate; MAY – DEC: wet season, rest of the year – dry season; Constant temperatures
throughout the year (average high of 30ºC)

climate

Airport
Runway 03/21 – 3356m x 46m, PPR for non-scheduled TFC

Arrival / Parking/ Departure

RWY 36 in use: As arrival route from the north east, expect the LELEM2A (L2A) STAR if RWY 36 is in
use, followed by vectors.
RWY 18 in use: Expect the LELEM 3B (L3B) arrival route; in case of delay, a holding overhead URDIV
may be possible.
As the airport has no parallel taxiway and traffic is towed onto the RWY respectively has to taxi back to
apron, separation is increased. Expect delay (15-30MIN) and/or an early speed reduction (minimum clean or
even “reduce 180kts, when able”)
Be aware of intense VFR traffic in the vicinity of the aerodrome! Seaplanes may cross the final or missed
approach path at 500ft!
As there is no numbering for parking positions, expect guidance by marshaller after entering the apron via
TWY B.
On departure expect initially RWY heading and cleared altitude (6000ft), thereafter a turn direct to departure
fix (LELEM).
