| SURFACE MOVEMENT GUIDANCE AND CONTROL SYSTEM AND MARKINGS | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aircraft Parking Restrictions | ||
| There are 4 designated parking aprons: Apron A, Apron C, Jet Apron and Jet Apron Extension: | |||
| ACFT Stand | Largest ACFT Type | ||
| Apron A | A1 to A5 | C17 | |
| Apron C | C1 to C7 (reserved for RSAF) C8 to C9 C10 C10A C11 C11A | C130 C130 KC135 B747-400 C17 C5, AN124 | |
| Jet Apron | J1 to J3 J1A and J2A | C130 B747 | |
| Jet Apron Extension | J4 and J5 | C17 | |
| 2 | Taxiing Procedures | ||
| 2.1 | Taxiing in/out of Apron Areas | ||
| Pilots taxiing in/out of apron areas must adhere to ATC’s instructions. Once a pilot has reported visual with the marshallers, the pilot will be instructed to continue to taxi and follow the marshaller’s instructions. At any time, should the aircraft pilot decide not to comply with the marshaller’s instructions, it is mandatory for the pilot or the marshalling agency to inform ATC immediately. All marshalling services shall terminate at that moment and the pilot will be instructed by ATC to shutdown the aircraft. Concurrently, ATC will also inform the marshallers via the ground communications network. Subsequently, the aircraft will be towed to its allocated aircraft stand. Pilots are to exercise caution when operating in the apron areas due to close proximity of obstacles (e.g. Floodlights, buildings, etc.) | |||
| 2.2 | To minimize the possibility of ground taxiing confliction within the apron areas as well as to achieve an orderly flow of aircraft ground movements, the following guidelines are recommended for both RWY 02 (Departures) and RWY 20 (Arrivals): | ||
| Apron | Departures | Arrivals | |
| Apron A | Taxi for RWY 02 departure via TWY F4. | TWY F3 or F4 | |
| Apron B | No taxiing is allowed within Apron B and TWY W7. Aircraft will be towed in/out of Apron B to an assigned aircraft stand via TWY W7. | ||
| Apron C | TWY F1 | TWY F1 or F2 | |
| Jet Apron/Jet Apron Extension | TWY F3 | TWY F3 | |
| 3 | Ground Taxiing Guidelines | ||
| 3.1 | The recommended taxiing guidelines may be subject to changes due to work-in-progress or unforeseen circumstances and shall be included in the NOTAM. Pilots will receive a taxiing brief from the Flight Planning office prior to departure. | ||
| 4 | Ground Restrictions due to Weather | ||
| 4.1 | In the event of inclement weather over Paya Lebar airport, ground support services for aircraft are to be terminated when the meteorological office issues a Lightning Risk Category 1 warning (very high lightning risk with extremely probable lightning producing CB clouds over the affected area). Ground agencies will be alerted of the warnings through the Base Public Announcement system as well as through the ground communications network. The following ground support services are to be terminated: a) aircraft refuelling and de-refuelling b) towing of aircraft in the open c) maintenance works on aircraft on the apron areas d) marshalling of aircraft in and out of the apron areas e) loading and unloading of cargo from aircraft f) customs and immigration checks in the apron areas | ||
| 4.2 | There is no work restriction for Lightning Risk Categories 2, 3, 4 and 5. As aircraft marshalling is not permitted during Lightning Risk Category 1, aircraft that has landed at Paya Lebar Airport will be instructed to hold at the following designated areas until the warning has expired: a) Non-VIP aircraft at TWY F1, F2, F3 or F4 b) VIP aircraft at TWY F3 or F4 | ||
| 4.3 | There may be occasions when despite a declaration of Lightning Risk Category 1, certain activities would still need to be performed in the open areas due to critical or operational requirements. In such instances, approval must be sought from Paya Lebar Tower after careful assessment of the overall weather situation over Paya Lebar Airport. Examples of such critical activities include: a) Marshalling of VVIP / VIP aircraft b) Embarkation / disembarkation of VIP from aircraft | ||
| 5. | Ground Procedures - General | ||
| 5.1 | Engine Start-ups and Ground Runs Clearance from the Ground Controller must be sought and obtained for all engine start-ups or any associated activities within the apron areas. In addition, all engine ground runs, regardless of intensity, must be co-ordinated with ATC for approval. However, ground runs exceeding 85% of the engine power are prohibited within the apron areas. Within Paya Lebar Airport, the designated area for engine ground runs exceeding 85% of the engine power are the Northern Access Run-up Pad and Hush-House or as designated by Paya Lebar Base Command Post. The area allocated will be dependent on the type of aircraft concerned. | ||
| 5.2 | Aircraft to/from Apron B Engine start-ups and shutdowns at TWY W7 are strictly prohibited. Aircraft departing or arriving to/from Apron B shall be allocated the appropriate aircraft stands for their start-ups or shutdowns and shall be towed in/out of the allocated aircraft stand. In addition, wing-walkers are to be provided for large aircraft on tow at TWY W7 due to construction works located next to TWY W7. | ||
| 5.3 | Prohibited Activities - Smoking in the Apron Areas Smoking is strictly prohibited within the Apron areas. Disciplinary action will be taken on any personnel caught contravening this restriction. | ||
