안녕하십니까 - Annyong Hashimnikka
Welcome to the ZKKP Pyongyang Flight Information Region (FIR) wiki page for North Korea's airspace, part of the IVAO XE East Asia Region Division! These sets of pages should help provide you with all the information you need while controlling North Korean airspace.
Note: Please keep in mind, IVAO stresses that our network is at global peace without any conflicts between nations. We also strive to simulate realism. So, while it is ok to respect the prohibited airspace at the DMZ between the DPRK and ROK, on IVAO, direct flights are permissible between the two nations. At no time shall any war simulation be performed in Korean airspace as this is a huge violation against IVAO rules and regulations. That being said, enjoy Pyongyang Control

Airspace Overview
Pyongyang Control
Here are a list of the valid center positions IVAO XE authorizes in North Korean airspace.
All radio callsigns are "PYONGYANG CONTROL" regardless of sector.
| Sector Position | Callsign | Frequency | Coverage Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pyongyang Control | ZKKP_CTR | 120.900 | Primary, Above FL140 over Pyongyang and Kalma TCA's. Covers entire FIR when other positions offline |
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
North Korea has switched a few years ago from meters to RVSM airspace from FL290-FL410, and as such follows standard semi-circular rules in feet (FL).
360-179 odd flight levels (ex. FL290, FL310, FL230)
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)
Transponder Codes
All transponder codes in North Korea range from 4001-4077
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
BUMEP - FROM Russia on B355 airway
RIVAT - A900 and G705 airways
NULAR - B941, A934, and B233 airways
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.
South Korea LOA
