The general aviation aircraft or code letter A and B aircraft will be allowed to carry out autonomous departures from every stands.
Aircraft must be ready for towed push-back within the five minutes following the approved start-up time. Otherwise, the pilot shall inform ATC.
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.
Higher code letter E aircraft shall have the following restrictions on landing:

AIRCRAFT	Length (m)	Wingspan (m)	MTOW (TM)	Restrictions on MTOW on take-off (TM)

Both the runway and TWY B, C2 and D are designed for operations by code letter D aircraft. TWY M is designed for operations by aircraft up to code letter B.
The arrival or departure of code letter E aircraft at PRKG 1SM will prompt the following restriction on the access taxiways to the stands: prohibition on taxiing or stay in a sector of the apron roadway.
Only code letter B or lower aircraft may taxi via TWY M, vacating the runway in the direction of TWY B or D, from sunrise to sunset and with RVR greater than 800 m.
Restriction on the simultaneous use of taxiways by Code letter C or higher code letter aircraft and Code letter C or higher code letter aircraft/vehicles due to the impossibility of ensuring separation.

TAXIING LIMITATIONS ON APRON

The exit of a code letter E aircraft from PRKG 4SM prohibits taxiing or stay on the apron service road, and also prohibits the simultaneous exit of aircraft from PRKG 1SM.
The arrival or departure of code letter E aircraft at/from PRKG 1SM prohibits taxiing or stay on the apron service road.
The stay of an A340-300 on PRKG 1SM limits circulation on the apron service road to a single direction.
