GW+GE- Operation

Containing Description, Operational Procedures and Submenus of the scope called GW+GE............

1.1 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.

1.3 PLANNED DEP

Column 4 and the bays associated (OTHERS, SAS, NORWEGIAN) represents planned departures, for use in case there is no delivery or sequence planner is online, resulting in an apron controller providing the clearance.

The three planned departure bays work in an identical fashion as all other scope. Refer to Chapter 3 - CLR DEL for detailed information on its operation.

1.4 STARTUP

The bay STARTUP is for aircraft who has received the ATC Clearance, and has reported ready for startup.

Only the appropriate aprons are represented, meaning if GND is online, no planes from Apron North are visible.

Strip must be moved out of the STARTUP bay and into the PUSHBACK bay when a pushback instruction has been issued.

Identical to STARTUP strip for AA+AD. Refer to Chapter 5 - AA+AD for expansion

1.5 PUSHBACK

The bay PUSHBACKis for aircraft who has received pushback instruction.

Strip design

Identical to PUSHBACK strip for AA+AD. Refer to Chapter 5 - AA+AD for expansion

1.6 TWY DEP

The bay TWY DEP is the version that TWR see. The main difference from the apron version is that the strips has a larger amount of actions fields, allowing change of headings and altitudes.

Strip design

1. SI Field: Click to Initiate Transfer .
2. Callsign: Click to Mark.
3. STAND Informational only
4. DE-ICE: Infromational that De-Ice is required. Color coding as per Chapter 9 - Specific Features
5. HS: Hold Short points (Clearance Limit)
6. HP: Holding Point assigned
7. DEPRWY: Runway of Departure. Click to change.

1.7 TWY ARR

The bay TWY ARR contains the inbound aircraft currently taxiing on a taxiway. The bay contains all strips, including the ones owned by TE/TW and APRON ARR.

Aircraft remains in TWY ARR bay until on stand. If aircraft is inbound to Apron East, West or South GW+GE must manually place the strip in the STAND bay.

Strip design

1. SI Field: Click to Accept Transfer
2. Callsign: Click to Mark or open callsign menu.
3. Type / WTC: Click either to open "FPL MENU"
4. ARRRWY: Informational only
5. HS: Hold Short points (Clearance Limit)
6. STAND Informational only
7. TBD

1.8 STAND

The bay STAND contains the inbound aircraft which is on stand, and has been moved there MANUALLY by a controller.

Aircraft remains in STAND bay for 3 minutes after which the strip is removed from exsistence. the 3 minute delay allows controller to move aircraft back in case of inadvertant movement to STAND bay.

If neither of the above mentioned entities are online, APRON DEP must complete CDM procedures in accordance with Chapter 8.

Click on SI Field when aircraft call up,fashion to confirm transfer,apron and approvewill anot pushback.be Thisdiscussed you can do by one of three actions, specified below in order of most preferred:

• Click on STAND to select release point. Aircraft is automatically moved to PUSHBACK bay.
  • Click and drag aircraft to PUSHBACK bay. Select release point thereafter within 10 seconds.
    • Click and drop aircraft to PUSHBACK bay. Select release point thereafter within 10 seconds.

Once Pushback is complete and aircraft reports ready for taxi, you need to continue the process. This you can do by one of the three actions, specified below in order of most prefered:

• Click on RELEASE POINT to select taxi clearance limit. Aircraft is automatically moved to TWY DEP bay¹.
  • Click and drag aircraft to approrpiate TWY DEP bay. Select taxi clearance limit thereafter.
    • Click and drop aircraft to approrpiate TWY DEP bay. Select taxi clearance limit thereafter.

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.

2.2.2 Apron East/South

For flights destined for Apron East (Cargo/MIL) or South (GA), usage of the flightplan"Crossing allowsStrip" 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 of the incoming coordination feature.

This is recognized by the HS area of your strip becoming yellow. To accept the coordination:
