1.1General Overview

  • Scope name: GW+GE,
  • Used by: EKCH_GW_TWR, EKCH_GE_TWR

[PIC]

GW+GE scope is used by Ground West and Ground east only, and contains all relevant tasks for perfroming both inbound and outbound responsibilities on the maneuvering area, as well as top-down coverage when Apron is offline.

Even if both GW and GE is online, the scope stays the same.

The TWY DEP bay PUSHBACKisof GW, includes as well crossing a runway, which is why tactical controls are selectable above the bay. These are

  • START: Signifying a departing aircraft is interfering with aircraft taxiing within this bay
  • LAND: Signifying a landing aircraft is interfering with aircraft taxiing within this bay
  • CROSSING: signying an arrival taxiing aircraft is crossing the path of departing aircraft taxiing within this bay.

The use of LAND and START strips are mandatory when a landing or departing aircraft is encroaching RWY12/30

1.6DE-ICE TWY DEPA

TheIf De-Icing is required, this is clearly marked on the strip in blue color and white font “DE-ICE A”. When clearing an aircraft to the platform, the strip must be moved into the DE-ICE A bay, and assigned a lane. LANE 1, LANE 2, LANE 3 strips can be selected to keep overview of who holds where, and will further more provide the frequency for De-Icing the pilots can contact.

    2.2 TWY DEP & Transfer.

    Strip is usually handed over from APRON DEP to GW+GE. The strip should be cleared to a holding point, either by:

    • Clicking HP and select the appropriate holding point, or
    • Clicking HS and select onecontrollers of the taxiwaysstandard thathold short instructions on handover to APRON ARR. It is not required to reselect a holdingHS point.

    2.2.1 Coordination Feature

    As GW you should set a sequence and transfer to appropriate holdings points for the sequence. This includes assigning holding points to flights with CTOT, which may have to wait.Group 16.png

    2.2.2 Apron East/South

    For flights destined for Apron East (Cargo/MIL) or South (GA), usage of the "Crossing Strip" is needed to solidify coordiantion for crossing 04R/22L with TE.

    Once crossing has been completed, GW+GE, must assume if needed the crossing strip, and remove it.

    2.2.1 Coordination Feature

    As GW you should use standard taxi routings to apron unless otherwise coordinated.

    APRON ARR (Next Controller) May choose to coordinate a different feeder route than you have assigned, by the use ofnavigating the incomingmenu.
