4Remarks
  1. Aircraft operators/ground handlers shall be responsible for the safe and smooth operations of aircraft at the aircraft stands.

  2. To enhance airside safety, all aircraft larger than Code A (i.e. up to but not including 15m wingspan) shall be marshalled into the aircraft stands.

  3. Arriving aircraft will be assigned an aircraft stand. A ground handler shall marshall the aircraft into the aircraft stand.

  4. A ground handler shall be at the aircraft stand when the aircraft is ready to depart. When the pilot signals that he is ready to taxi, the ground handler shall ensure that the area around the aircraft is clear before marshalling the aircraft out of the aircraft stand.

  5. Only Code A aircraft, Code B aircraft, aircraft type Global Express, Global 5000, Global Express XRS, Fokker 50, Fokker 100, Gulfstream 500, Gulfstream 550, ATR 72-500, DASH 7 and Falcon 7X are allowed to self-power out from aircraft stands C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 and C6.

(for B757-200 and C130)
PUSHBACK AND TOW FORWARD TO TWY WP

The tow-crew shall request from Seletar Ground (vehicular) on 122.9MHz for departure pushback approval. Upon receiving the approval, the aircraft shall be pushed back onto TWY WA to face South until its nosewheel is at the intersection of the aircraft stand lead-in line and TWY WA centreline. The aircraft shall then be towed forward to TWY WP until the tow tug towing the aircraft is at the intermediate holding position short of TWY W1 (see chart WSSL AD 2-4-2) or TWY W3 (see chart WSSL AD 2-4-3). Once the tow tug is disengaged, the aircraft will request start up approval from Seletar Ground (aircraft) on 121.6MHz. The aircraft shall breakaway from there.

1) Tow approved to intermediate holding position on TWY WP short of TWY W1 to face North; or

2) Tow approved to intermediate holding position on TWY WP short of TWY W3 to face South

FOR LANDED B757-200/C130 AIRCRAFT EXITING VIA TWY W1

After landing, B757-200/C130 aircraft exiting TWY W1 shall stop when its nose is at the information marking “B757/C130 HOLD FOR TOW” on TWY W1. The aircraft shall be on tow starting from this point onwards until they park inside the aircraft stands.

2.6 Light aircraft engaged in flying training shall maintain VHF communication.
2.7 Light aircraft flying on airways shall, in addition to radio communication apparatus, be equipped with a radio compass.

3 WRONG APPROACHES AND LANDINGS OF AIRCRAFT BOUND FOR SELETAR AERODROME AND SEMBAWANG MILITARY AERODROME
3.1 INTRODUCTION
3.1.1 The attention of all pilots is drawn to the existence of RSAF Sembawang Aerodrome, 3NM to the west of Seletar Aerodrome. The runway at Sembawang is orientated in almost the same direction as the runway at Seletar Aerodrome i.e. 03/21 for Seletar Aerodrome and 05/23 for Sembawang. Due to the close proximity of these two runways, pilots are cautioned against mistaking Sembawang Aerodrome for Seletar Aerodrome and thus making an inadvertent visual landing or approach to land at Sembawang.
3.1.2 Erroneous approaches or landings usually occurred in marginal weather conditions. In almost every instance, the prevailing weather at the time of the incident contributed towards a hasty and erroneous identification of the correct aerodrome.
3.1.3 There is intensive local flying at both aerodromes during the day and night. As pilot training is the major activity at both aerodromes, the risk of collision is very great if a wrong approach or landing is made at either of the two aerodromes.
3.2 POINTS TO BEAR IN MIND WHEN APPROACHING SELETAR AD OR SEMBAWANG AD
3.2.1 The following points are highlighted to serve as a guide to assist pilots in identifying Seletar AD or Sembawang AD and should be remembered and followed:
  1. The runways at Seletar and Sembawang are almost identically aligned. Extra vigilance, therefore, is required when approaching either aerodrome, or when commencing an approach to land.
  2. Make full use of available navigational and landing aids, and positively identify each aid used.
  3. Adhere strictly to the joining instructions issued by ATC.
