Q

What are the rules associated with remote holding on 41/43?

A

For All Aircraft
* Aircraft may face either north or south, irrespective of the orientation of any other aircraft on those stands.
* Aircraft facing south on 41E can only exit onto Kilo westbound due to the proximity of the grass area 23b (between KA and 41E)

Taxiing Aircraft
* A marshaller is required when positioning onto East/West positions when the AGL is required.

Pushing or Towing Aircraft
* Communications will be with the flight deck using aircraft flight call sign.
* For aircraft pushing back only, the instruction must be for the complete route in one transmission.
* Push/Tow is not available whenever the AGL is required.
* Push onto East/West positions is not available at any time.
* Tow onto East/West positions from taxiway Lima is not available at any time.
