History of formation and development of Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation (Part III)
VIETNAM AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT PARTNERSHIP AGAINST RIGHT TO OPERATE THE REGIONAL RELIGIOUS AREAS OF HO CHI MINH CITY AND INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT, INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT IN THE MODERN ROADS AND INTERNATIONAL AVIATION INTEGRATION
(FROM 1993 TODAY)
During this period, Vietnam Flight Management has participated in the implementation of very important tasks that are:
1. Join the struggle to regain control of the Ho Chi Minh FIR.
The Flight Information Region (FIR) is the airspace that ICAO assigns member nations to take responsibility for the provision of air traffic and alert services to the international civil aviation community. The flight notice area may include the sovereign airspace of each country and non-assigned airspace. The Ho Chi Minh FIR prior to 1975 was called the Saigon Flight Information Zone, which was established at the 1959 Middle East - South East Air Transport Conference in Rome, including the sovereign sovereignty of national sovereignty and Airspace on the international maritime in the East Sea. In 1973, at the Asia / Pacific Regional Air Navigation Meeting (RAN1) meeting in Honolulu, the Saigon Flight Information Area had a small modification expanding to the south. And maintained until April 28, 1975. In April 1975, in the face of the fall of Saigon's Saigon regime, fearing the deadlock of air traffic in the region when South Vietnam was liberated, ICAO drew up an interim aerial plan. These include the establishment of support flights in the South China Sea and the division of the Saigon Flight Information Area into three interim responsibility areas and assigned to three Bangkok Long Distance Control Centers, Singapore, Hong Kong run; The rest of the Saigon notice area is operated by the Ho Chi Minh Highway Control Center. After the liberation of the South, in 1977, the State has advocated fighting for full control of Ho Chi Minh FIR.

At the Second Asia-Pacific Airspace Conference in 1983 (RAN-2) meeting in Singapore, we fought to preserve the status of interim responsibility areas in the South China Sea in the FIRF of Ho Chi Minh City by ICAO. established. We have to stay current because we have not been able to manage and operate the vast FIR area at sea yet, and some countries in the region intend to incorporate FIR part of Hanoi and One FIR FIRST with them. If so, we will lose control of most of the notified area in the South China Sea. After RAN2, we have more time to prepare for the struggle to regain control of Ho Chi Minh FIR. Recognizing the importance and urgency of the January 4, 1988 issue, the Council of Ministers issued Directive No. 05-CT on "Urgent tasks to regain control of the notification area. Ho Chi Minh". The directive also pointed out the responsibilities of the General Department of Aviation for the reception of Ho Chi Minh FIR.

The specific objectives of the program are: To modernize the upgrading and modernization of Ho Chi Minh City Long Distance Control Center, Tan Son Nhat and Da Nang Access Control Centers to receive management FIR HO CHI MINH CITY, while preparing for the FIR firing of Hanoi. Specifically, it covers the following six key areas required by ICAO: Air Traffic Control (ATS), Aeronautics (COM), Meteorology and Meteorology (AIS), Aviation Meteorology (MET) , Search and Rescue (SAR), Airport Services (AGA). By 1993, Vietnam Flight Management has strengthened, upgraded and modernized Hanoi Long Distance Control Center, Da Nang Access Control Center; Inaugurated and put into operation Ho Chi Minh Long Distance Control Center directly provides flight management services in Ho Chi Minh FIR; Signed contract with Thompson - CSF of France to supply the system of 5 most modern aviation monitoring radar stations in the world in Tan Son Nhat, Son Tra, Vung Chua to monitor flying activities. In the Ho Chi Minh flight information area; Finished and put into operation three VOR / DME navigation systems Tan Son Nhat, Phan Thiet, Phu Cat.
Participants to the 3rd Asia-Pacific Airspace Conference
In Bangkok in 1993
After a period of intensive upgrading of technical equipment, at the RAN-3 meeting in Bangkok in 1993, the Vietnamese delegation declared that six areas of ICAO require Vietnam to be fully and High quality. Conference concluded that Vietnam was fully qualified to control the Ho Chi Minh FIR. During the final inspection of the ICAO Technical Expert Group in 1994 at the Ho Chi Minh City Control Center, the six specialized areas of the Vietnam Civil Aviation Center provided the required international standards. . ICAO in Asia / Pacific and ICAO in Montreal decided to hand over control of the southern part of Ho Chi Minh FIR to Vietnam. At 00:00 International time on December 8, 1994, the reception ceremony of Vietnam was held solemnly on the same day in Hanoi capital.

Thus, during more than 18 years of continuous and persistent struggle, with the leadership of the Party, Government and Aviation Department, Vietnam Flight Management has excellently accomplished its historic mission of regaining control. Southern Ho Chi Minh FIR. On December 8, 1994, the history of the Vietnam aviation industry in general and the aviation industry in particular. It is a very important milestone in terms of economy, technology, security, national defense and politics and society. The reception of the Southern FIR in Ho Chi Minh confirmed the development of organization, labor and technological level of technical equipment. With this tremendous achievement, Vietnam Flight Management has been instrumental in the management of air traffic safety and security operations in the Asia Pacific region and enhancing the management and navigation of Vietnam. international arena. Receiving and managing the southern part of Ho Chi Minh FIR contributed to a phenomenal increase in air traffic control, bringing tremendous economic efficiency, annual revenue increased by nearly $ 100 million, and Has collected thousands of billions of dong annually.
2. Vietnam's comprehensive air traffic management and international air traffic integration since 1993.
On April 20, 1993, Minister of Transport Bui Danh Luu signed Decision No. 746-TCCB / LD changing the organization of the Vietnam Civil Aviation Management Company into the Civil Aviation Management Center Vietnam. Since this date, Vietnam Flight Management has officially separated from Vietnam Airlines Corporation into a non-business unit with revenues under the Vietnam Aviation Administration. The Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam has the following units:
- Hanoi Flight Management Center
- Danang Flight Management Center

As follows: implementation of the RNP navigation system in the East Sea in 1996; Launching of a new flight system in Vietnam's flight information areas, including 15 domestic flights and 22 international routes in 2001, has optimized airspace management, carrier organization, flight planning. To be more flexible, to reduce congestion and delays in flight, to save fuel and time, to increase flight frequencies to meet the growth needs of the HK industry in the world; 2002 to 2008, implementing the ICAO decision to reduce high divisions to increase frequency; In 2007, 2008, applying the required navigation method, successful implementation of flight control method using data communication method between KSVKL and driver, applying automatic dependency monitoring in The area outside the secondary radar coverage of FIR HCM is currently implementing a feature-based navigation method. In 2014, the Corporation officially became a member of CANSO, an organization of global aviation service providers, representing the interests of the global air traffic management community. . In 2016, the Corporation introduced the North-South RNAV5 parallel navigation system, which has met the strong growth of air traffic, increased airflow capacity, optimized the flow. Not saved in Vietnam.
To meet the increasingly stringent requirements of flight management, with the investment in technology renewal and the upgrading of air navigation facilities, the Corporation invested in the procurement of site systems. Technical equipment, digital applications, satellite information to improve the quality of information services, navigation, monitoring.
