## 2. Coordination

****2.1 Coordination procedures are as follows:****

- First aircraft to get the instruction, is generally first and has the right of way.
- Listen to the other controller’s frequency to start alerted on flights, and to identify when there is a pause in transmissions to coordinate.
- WHEN needing to coordinate, listen for a break in his frequency, and state the coordination request DIRECTLY and without DELAY.

****2.2 Inbounds****

- Before you give an inbound taxi instruction, make sure that no traffic already taxiing is conflicting.
- Before clearing into a stand, ensure that no pushbacks are in progress.
- If you are first, and give a longer taxi instruction, look for conflicts and highlight them to the other controller if you have not positively heard that it’s been seen.
- 22L in use: Consider inbounds via B to M alley, to hold short of M, due to the length of the taxi duration.
- 04L in use: Consider inbounds to CPH GO to hold short of W, due to the length of the taxi duration.

****2.3 Outbounds****

- Before approving a pushback, ensure no already taxiing inbounds are crossing the pushback path.
- If you are first, and give a longer taxi instruction, look for conflicts and highlight them to the other controller if you have not positively heard that it’s been seen

## 4. Special rules

Following rules must be adhered to:

- S3, S4 and Y2 must NOT be used for pushback unless specifically coordinated.
- <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">TWY S between TWY V and TWY W, may </span>****NOT****<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> be used for </span><u>OUTBOUNDS</u>
- TWT V shall only be used eastbound (Towards 22L) unless otherwise coordinated. TWY W remains omnidirectional.

## 5. Appendix

****Precise usage of STANDARD TAXI ROUTES is absolutely crucial****
