Code F - Section 6 Flashcards
Of the Code F routes available, which route requires a leader escort?
R/L Junction
When using an escorted route for a Code F aircraft, what should GMC avoid the aircraft having to do?
GMC should avoid the aircraft having to stop to avoid excessive jet blast
Can Code F aircraft be routed under the Pier 6 Connector Bridge?
No
When a Code F is on Alpha-November between P and A3, what is the maximum size aircraft allowed on Alpha-Sierra?
Code D
If an aircraft larger than Code D is on AS, can a Code F be on AN?
No, the code F aircraft must be held short of P while an aircraft larger than code D is on AS
Are Code F aircraft allowed on Alpha-Sierra? And what gap is recommended?
Yes. But they are to be considered a runway movement as they will infringe the runway
20nm gap recommended
While a Code F is holding at M1, which taxiway does the tail overhang and block?
Alpha-November at the junction with Mike.
While a Code F is holding on Quebec-Bravo short of Quebec-Alpha, which taxiway does the tail overhang and block?
Lima, at the junction with Quebec
While Code F are routing between 558 and 26L via QB -> Q -> 08L -> AN, where must aircraft not be instructed to hold short?
- Facing east on Kilo, short of Quebec
- Facing east on Juliet, short of Quebec
- Facing east on 08L, short of Quebec
- Facing south on Charlie, short of 08L
While Code F are routing between 558 and 08R via QB -> Q -> J, where must aircraft not be instructed to hold short?
- Facing east on Kilo, short of Quebec
- Facing north on Quebec, short of Juliet
- Facing north on Romeo, short of Juliet
What are the restrictions associated with taxiway Y whilst a Code F aircraft is departing from 26L?
No aircraft or vehicle can be in Block 14 on Y while a code F aircraft is departing from A or M
When a Code F is routing from Juliet or 08L onto Alpha/November or Bravo, where must other aircraft be held short?
- Short of Juliet southbound
- Short of November westbound
- Short of Papa eastbound
Which stands are available for Code F aircraft?
558, 172M, 234M and 235M
With prior co-ordination, 49/50 may be used, using Papa and Lima as access
Is a marshaller required for Code F Aircraft parking?
Yes, except for the A380 on approved stands
Which runway line-up points may Code F aircraft use?
Any
Can Code F Aircraft use 26R/08L?
26R/08L only available for A380 takeoffs and subject to crew discretion, landings
No other Code F aircraft can use 26R/08L
Which Runway exits may Code F aircraft use?
Any except Delta and Echo Romeo
An ILS inbound is following a Code F arrival. By what distance from touchdown must the preceding landing Code F aircraft have vacated the ILS Critical Area? And what happens if this condition is not met?
Code F aircraft must have vacated the critical area by the time ILS inbound is 8nm from touchdown
If this condition is not met and the inbound must continue visually or be instructed to Go-Around
Behind a Code F arrival, how much non-ILS traffic will INT/FIN provide if weather conditions allow?
15nm, starting with an initial 8nm gap, then continuing with the previously agreed strategy
If weather conditions do not permit non-precision approaches, and INT/FIN therefore must continue with ILS approaches, what gap in the traffic will be given behind a Code F arrival and why?
15nm gap, to ensure the Code F has landed and vacated the critical area by the time the ILS traffic is 8nm from touchdown
An ILS inbound is following a Code F departure. By what distance from touchdown must the preceding departing Code F aircraft have passed overhead the ILS localiser? And what happens if this condition is not met?
Departing Code F aircraft must have passed overhead the ILS localiser by the time the ILS inbound has reached 8nm from touchdown
If this condition is not met and the aircraft must be instructed to continue visually, or Go-Around
Behind a Code F departure, how much non-ILS traffic will INT/FIN provide, if weather conditions allow?
20nm, starting with an initial 8nm gap then continuing with the previous spacing strategy
If weather conditions do not permit non-precision approaches, and INT/FIN therefore must continue with ILS approaches, what is the guidance for ILS aircraft following a Code F departure?
20nm gap is suggested behind the co-ordinated Code F gap to ensure the departing Code F aircraft has passed overhead the ILS localiser by the time the next ILS inbound has reached 8nm from touchdown
What is the name of the larger ILS protected area that Code F aircraft must not infringe during LVPs?
DLSA. Dynamic Localiser Sensitive Area.
What must happen to the ASMGCS when a Code F departure or arrival is expected during LVPs?
The appropriate DLSA map must be displayed when
- An inbound code F aircraft is established on the ILS until it has landed and is north of taxiway Juliet
- A departing code F aircraft has pushed back until it is airborne and has passed overhead the ILS localiser
During LVPs, what are the restrictions surrounding a Code F aircraft in the DLSA and other runway movements?
- No landings or departures are permitted until the code F aircraft has vacated the DLSA
- A Code F aircraft must have vacated the DLSA by the time the next ILS inbound is 2nm from touchdown
- A Code F aircraft must have vacated the ILS critical area by the time the next ILS inbound has reached 8nm from touchdown
What is the suggested gap behind a Code F arrival during LVPs?
18nm
During its inbound taxi route from either runway, when will a Code F infringe the DLSA?
When a Code F is taxiing on 08L/26R, and turns northbound across/into Juliet, the tail will infringe the DLSA
Does a Code F infringe the DLSA while taxiing east/west along 08L/26R?
No
What is the suggested gap behind a Code F departure during LVPs?
25nm
What is the standard route for a Code F aircraft to stand 558, and which route should also be considered?
Juliet or 08L/26R -> Q -> QB and vice versa
R <-> RA should be considered
