OEDF AD 2.20 LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS

2.20.1 Apron 1, 2, 3 and 8

Applicability

This regulation applies to all aircraft types and all parking stands.

2.20.1.1. General Requirements

When airport-operated fixed Ground Power Unit (GPU – 400 Hz) and/or Pre Conditioned Air (PCA) systems are available at a stand, their use is mandatory for all aircraft without exception.
Airlines are not permitted to use ground handler–supplied mobile GPU or ACU when fixed airport-operated systems are available.
Only when fixed airport-provided GPU and/or PCA are not available or temporarily unserviceable, aircraft shall be supplied exclusively using the ground handler–provided mobile GPU and/or Air Conditioning Unit (ACU).
The use of the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) is prohibited while the aircraft is on stand, except as stated under the approved exceptions.

2.20.1.2. Inbound Aircraft

All inbound aircraft must be connected to the airport-operated or, if unavailable, ground-handler-provided GPU within five (5) minutes of on-block/docking.
APU operation beyond this limit is not permitted.

2.20.1.3. Outbound Aircraft

Aircraft must remain connected to GPU and PCA (airport or handler, as applicable) during the entire turnaround.
APU start is permitted not earlier than fifteen (15) minutes prior to scheduled off-block time or engine start, whichever occurs first.
APU use prior to this time is not permitted.

2.20.1.4. Aircraft with APU INOP

For aircraft with an inoperative APU, electrical power and air conditioning shall be provided by:
• Airport-operated fixed GPU/PCA when available.
• Ground handler–provided mobile GPU/ACU when airport systems are not available.
No deviation from this requirement is permitted.

2.20.1.5. Exceptions

APU use may only be authorized by Airport Operations for:
• Safety-critical technical reasons, or
• Operational contingency situations.
Any approved APU usage shall be time-limited, monitored, and recorded.

2.20.1.6. Compliance

Failure to comply with this regulation may result in:

Reporting to the airport operator,
Applicable penalties, and/or
Enforcement actions in accordance with national aviation rules.

2.20.2 Apron 2

Pushback from all position.
Code (F) aircraft (B747-8) CARGO OPS only.
ACFT can use any RWY and any TWY to taxi or FM APRON 2.1) To enter stand 1 use TWY P1.
1) To enter stand 1 use TWY P1.
2) To exit stand 1 push back facing south to use TWY P1.
3) To enter stand 3 use TWY P2.
4) To exit stand 3 push back facing north to use TWY P2.
5) When ACFT is occupying stand 1 or 3 , stand 2 will be used by ACFT code C or D.
6) When stand 1 or stand 3 is occupied by ACFT code F, TWY P shall not be permitted for ACFT code E or F, except ACFT code C or smaller taxi behind.

2.20.3 Apron 3

Apron 3 has been established in the north of apron 2, connected to Taxiway B vicinity.
The new stands are consists of (6) stands for aircraft code ‘E’ numbered 301 to 306. It also can accommodate (12) stands for aircraft code "C" or smaller as each main stand can be divided into right and left stands.
Stand information:

2.20.4 ENGINE RUN UP

Engine run-up at OEDF is permissible on Aprons 4 and 11 by clearance from ATC.

2.20.5 COMPASS SWING

Pilots requesting a compass swing must be directed to use Apron 4 or Apron 11.

2.20.6 STOP BARS

Illuminated red stop bars are installed at OEDF as follows:

RWY 16R/34L: at all RWY holding points including all RWY intersections.
RWY 16L/34R: at all RWY holding points including all RWY intersections except TWYs Hotel and Juliet 2 which are designed as rapid exit TWYs for ARR aircraft using RWY34R.

The red stop bars lights are controlled from the ATC Tower. An illuminated red stop bar means STOP. Aircraft and vehicles must not proceed until the red stop bars are switch-off and ATC permission is received.

2.20.7 WARNINGS/CAUTIONS

Intersection between TWY Romeo - Juliet 3 and RWY 16L/34R is considered as a hotspot location. Red stop bar light and signs are available to show the holding point at this intersection.
Caution Runway Incursion. Pilots and vehicles drivers must exercise extreme caution when approaching this intersection and must maintain watch on ATC frequency and adhere to ATC clearance.
Pilots must exercise extreme caution to remain clear from any obstruction and other aircraft during taxing in/out from stands 19,20, 21 and 23A as these stands are unsighted from ATC TWR

2.20.8 ENTERANCE TO TAXIWAY ROMEO AFTER LANDING ON RWY 34R

All arrival traffic intending to park on Apron1 and Apron2, when landing on RWY34R are to vacate the runway via taxiway Hotel and to hold
short of taxiway Romeo, if unable, vacate the runway via the end. It is not permitted to turn left on taxiway Romeo directly from the runway if
passing taxiway Hotel unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

2.20.9 HOLDING BEFORE INTERSECTION JULIET 3 AFTER VACATING RWY16L

All arrival traffic landing on RWY16L, after vacating the runway and joining taxiway Juliet intending to park on Aprons1,2 and 5 shall hold position well before intersection Juliet 3 facing north. ATC will issue further taxi instruction based on traffic situation.

2.20.10 Minimum Runway Occupancy Procedures

To increase runway capacity, runway occupancy times must be reduced to a minimum.

2.20.10.1 Arriving Aircraft

In normal weather conditions and dry runway surface conditions, landing aircraft are expected to vacate the runway via the nearest possible rapid exit taxiway unless otherwise instructed by ATC.
Pilots are expected to vacate the runway expeditiously.

2.20.10.2 Departing Aircraft

Pilots at the holding points shall advise ATC prior to entering the runway if they are not ready for departure.
All checks should be completed when reaching the assigned holding point.
Line-up without delay when cleared by ATC.
On receipt of take-off clearance, pilots should ensure that they are able to commence take-off without delay within 10 seconds of the clearance.

2.20.11 HELICOPTER OPERATION PROCEDURES
