=== En Route and Cruise ===
==== Phraseology ====
Due to the fact that resources and ATC recordings and feeds are non-existent for the DPRK, the IVAO XE division encourages use of standard ICAO phraseology when controlling Pyongyang Control.
==== RVSM Airspace ====
360-179 odd flight levels (ex. FL290, FL310, FL230)<br />
180-359 even flight levels (ex. FL300, FL240, FL380)
However, aircraft departing the DPRK with a final destination in Russia, China, or Mongolia will be assigned a meter altitude from departure. Use the charts below in the LOA section to help determine a cruise meter altitude.
==== Transition Altitude ====
Transition Level is FL130. Transition Altitude is 12,000ft throughout the entire FIR.
North Korea uses QNH (standard 1013 hectopascals or millibars)
=== China LOA and Meters ===
Aircraft departing Pyongyang or Kalma to a Chinese destination can be assigned a meter altitude from departure.
All aircraft entering Chinese airspace must be assigned a meters altitude by Pyongyang control prior to initiating a handoff to Shenyang or Shanghai or sent to UNICOM. Use the chart below to match the nearest meters level to the flight level they are cruising at or filed in Korean airspace. For example, if they are cruising at FL360, assigned 11,000 meters which will translate to FL361/36,100ft. When an aircraft enters Korean airspace from China, assign a cruise flight level nearest to their meters level as Chinese controllers normally do not assign a FL prior to handing off to Korean controllers.

=== Japan LOA ===
=== Russia LOA ===
Aircraft departing Pyongyang or Kalma to a Russian destination can be assigned a meter altitude from departure.
'''ADNUR''' - TO Russia on B356 airway <br />
'''BUMEP''' - FROM Russia on B355 airway <br />
'''RIVAT''' - A900 and G705 airways <br />
'''NULAR''' - B941, A934, and B233 airways<br />
All aircraft entering Russian airspace must be assigned a meters altitude by Pyongyang control prior to initiating a handoff to Khabarovsk or sent to UNICOM. Use the chart below to match the nearest meters level to the flight level they are cruising at or filed in Korean airspace. For example, if they are cruising at FL360, assigned 11,000 meters which will translate to FL361/36,100ft. When an aircraft enters Korean airspace from Russia, assign a cruise flight level nearest to their meters level as Russian controllers normally do not assign a FL prior to handing off to Korean controllers.
