Appendix 2
b. Aircraft departing on Runway 35R from the south air cargo apron proceed east on cargo Taxiway SC to Taxiway SA, and south on Taxiway SA to Taxiway A. Aircraft then proceed eastbound on Taxiway A to the Taxiway M holding position (movement area boundary) marking where contact is established with ATC. Aircraft continue east on Taxiway A to reach Runway 35R. If deicing is required prior to departure, aircraft will follow the same routing on Taxiway A into the south deicing pad. Upon completion of deicing, aircraft exit the deicing pad and immediately contact ATC prior to entering Taxiway M for clearance on Taxiway A to Runway 35R.
c. Aircraft departing on Runway 35R from the general aviation area proceed south on Taxiway M and follow the same routing as described in paragraph 6.4(2)a. above. Departures must contact ATC for taxi clearance before leaving the general aviation ramp.
ATC may require aircraft to hold on the ramp prior to entering Taxiway M. If deicing is required prior to departure, aircraft will follow the same routing on Taxiway M into and out of the south deicing pad as described in paragraph 6.4(2)a. above.
d. When departure and arrival operations are conducted on Runway 35R, Taxiway CN is used in a westbound direction favoring arrivals.
Departures going to Runway 35R from the north side of Concourse C proceed west on Taxiway CN to Taxiway H, south on Taxiway H to the apron taxiway designated by ATC for transition east to Taxiway L, and then south on Taxiway L as described in paragraph
6.4(2)a. above.
6.5 Arrivals. Landings may be conducted on Runway 35L or Runway 35R.
The apron taxiways are operated in an alternating east and west flow pattern to minimize taxi time to the gate. Taxiways F and M are used as the primary arrival taxiways.
Appendix 2 When visibility is less than 1,200 feet RVR, down to and including 600 feet RVR, all taxiway lighting may be illuminated. Taxiway edge lights without centerline lighting, may be illuminated at various times for snow removal or other operational reasons.
At various times, ATC may ask arriving aircraft to report “clear” of the runway or ILS critical area.
6.6 Arrival routings. Aircraft arrival routings vary depending on the particular runway used for arrival, the airfield operating configuration and the destination of the aircraft on the airport.
(1) Runway 35R arrivals.
a. Aircraft arriving on Runway 35R will use mid-field Taxiways M6 or M7 to exit the runway, or continue to roll out to the end of the runway (Taxiway M10). Upon exiting the runway, aircraft will use Taxiway M to go north to the assigned apron taxiway to access the concourse apron, or to access Taxiway L to go south to the general aviation area or the south cargo area. ATC may require aircraft taxiing south on Taxiway L to hold at apron taxiway intersections.
Aircraft exiting at the end (Taxiway M10) and going to the general aviation area or the south cargo area, will continue south on Taxiway L to Taxiway AA, proceed east on Taxiway AA to Taxiway M and southbound on Taxiway M. ATC may require aircraft taxiing on Taxiway L to hold at apron taxiway intersections. Aircraft accessing the south cargo area will use cargo Taxiway SC west from the intersection with Taxiway M. ATC may require aircraft taxiing west on Taxiway SC to report “clear” of Taxiway L.
Upon receipt of an appropriate ATC clearance, aircraft exiting on Taxiways M6 and M7 may immediately turn south on Taxiway M to access the south air cargo apron or general aviation area. The taxiway routing from Taxiways M6 and M7 south to the south air cargo apron or general aviation area is as described above.
Appendix 2
(3) Runway 35L arrivals.
a. Aircraft arriving on Runway 35L will use mid-field Taxiway F9 to exit the runway, or continue to roll out to the end of the runway (Taxiway F12). Upon exiting the runway, aircraft will use Taxiway F to go south to Taxiway Z. Aircraft proceed east on Taxiway Z to Taxiway L. Access to the concourse apron, general aviation, and south cargo area on Taxiways L and M is conducted as described above. ATC may require aircraft taxiing southbound on Taxiway L to hold at intersecting apron taxiways.
6.7 Mixed operations. Effective air traffic management coordination is essential when departures are conducted on Runway 35R in mixed operations. ATC should ensure that arrivals and departures originating and terminating in the south cargo area are managed to prevent congestion (i.e., “nose to nose operation”) on Taxiway M. All aircraft departing the south cargo area should contact ATC prior to entering the movement area on Taxiways A or SC.
When mixed operations are being conducted on Runway 35L, aircraft arriving or departing Runway 35L will use the routings as described above.
7.0 AIRLINE PROCEDURES DURING LOW VISIBILITY CONDITIONS
7.1 General. Pilots conducting low visibility operations at ____ are required to have a copy of the low visibility taxi route chart. Low visibility taxi routes are depicted on the appropriate NOS and Jeppesen charts.
The airport apron controller will resolve aircraft and vehicle movement conflicts in the non-movement area. This will be accomplished through the use of two-way radio communication, ground movement control procedures, follow-me vehicles, and ground marshalling. ATC will monitor and control aircraft in the movement area.
7.2 Departures. Departing aircraft will follow company procedures for pushback, engine start, and initial taxi to the movement area boundary at the apron taxiway holding position. If appropriate, the pilot should request from the ground handling agency taxiing assistance such as signalman and wingwalkers, follow-me service, or towing to the apron taxiway holding position. In all cases, aircraft must have ATC clearance prior to entering the movement area.
Appendix 2
7.3 Arrivals. Arriving aircraft will follow company procedures for taxi to the gate on the apron concourse or to other parking areas as appropriate.
The airline assumes control of the aircraft in the vicinity of the gate and provides aircraft docking by the use of signalman and wingwalkers, followme service, towing or other appropriate means as set out in the airline's operating instructions.
7.4 Taxi routing. The principal taxi flow direction on the parallel taxiways between concourses in the concourse apron area is from east to west. This direction is established on the basis that Runway 35R is predominately an arrival runway in low visibility conditions while Runway 35L is predominately used for departures. The westbound flow provides for arrivals on the east airfield to flow into the concourses to the aircraft parking position and out the other side to the west airfield for departure.
When Runway 35L is used for mixed operations or as an arrivals only runway, aircraft are routed east on Taxiway Z to the east north-south taxiway complex and enter the concourse apron area from the east, thereby retaining the westbound direction of flow between adjacent concourses.
During the limited periods when Runway 35R is used for departures, an adjustment is made to the westbound flow direction so that all aircraft exiting the concourse apron area can more readily access Runway 35R for departure. The southern taxiway of the two taxiways between parallel concourses is routed in an eastbound direction. This routing effects the flow direction of Taxiway AA, Taxiway AN, and Taxiway BN, which are used to access Taxiway L. All other taxiways in the concourse apron area maintain the westbound flow direction.
