As indicated above, several of BIAR’s SIDs are restricted to only aircraft of certain performance categories. Aircraft incapable of meeting the performance requirements for a given SID should be assigned an appropriate alternative, or as a last resort, may be issued a visual climb.

Aprons & Maneuvering Area

There is only one apron, and one taxiway (taxiway A) that leads to/from the runway.

When controlling a combination of departures and arrivals, it may be beneficial to tactically utilize backtracking to allow departures to line up while arrivals make a U-turn to exit the runway.
