Stands

IFR clearance

Initial contact is with Clearance Delivery, reporting callsign, stand number, and latest ATIS identification letter and QNH.

Requesting De-Icing

If you requireneed de-iceicing prior to yourbefore departure, request withit when making your departureIFR clearance request. If you forget to do so, notify ATC immediately once you determine that de-icing is required. After pushback is requested, de-icing may no longer be available, as you will have already been placed in the departure sequence - depending on traffic conditions.

DCL: Include clearence request with Remark REQ DEICE
Voice: Upon inital contact with GARDEMOEN DELIVERY, advise if de-ice is required.

Push-back

Most of the terminal gates requires straight-back pushes, however a few have turn-pushes. Please have a look on the maps below to see how you should perform your push from the stand. You can click on the images to have a closer look.

Runways

Given that you’ve parked according to the paragraph describing the Use of stands, usually the eastern runway (19L/01R) is used for international departures/arrivals, and the western (19R/01L) for domestic departures/arrivals. This however is not a set rule, and runways are organized to accommodate high traffic loads. The western runway (19R/01L) has a TORA of 3600m, the eastern runway (19L/01R) has a TORA of 2950m.

During winter operations the airport normally operates with a segregated runway configuration, landing on 01R/19R and departing 01L/19L.
