→China LOA and Meters
=== China LOA and Meters ===
Aircraft departing Pyongyang or Kalma to a Chinese destination can be assigned a meter altitude from departure.
All handoffs will go to Shenyang Control ZYSH_CTR:
'''VASRO''' - R224 RNAV airway<br />
'''GOLOT''' - A345 RNAV airway and A575 airway<br />
'''PONIL''' - B332 airway<br />
Off route flying towards the quad-FIR border with Incheon, Shanghai, Shenyang, and Pyongyang is strictly forbidden. However, if traffic shall find their way at this point towards China, handoff to Shanghai ZSHA. If in contact, vector aircraft back towards the B332 airway and handoff to Shenyang.
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.
