When an aircraft is ready for push-back, it shall request permission from TWR before initiating this.
Start-up of engines above idling is prohibited until the aircraft has finished the push-back.
Unless otherwise instructed, the push-back manoeuvres shall be conducted by nosing the aircraft to the north-west in PRKG 01, 02A, 02, 02B and 03, and nosing to the south-west in PRKG 04, 05A 05, 05B, 06, 07, 08A, 08, 08B and 09.

ARRIVING AIRCRAFT

Aircraft shall taxi via TWY C2, continuing via TWY B and D, halting at the end of TWY D which gives access to the parking stand, and await instructions from TWR.

Code letter A and B aircraft may taxi via TWY M to the end, where they shall await instructions from TWR.
TWR shall inform the pilot of the stand assigned to the aircraft by the airport.
The aircraft shall taxi along the apron to the assigned position.
