Leeds Bradford - NOTAM's

SNOWTAM Issued this morning. Looks like it needs updating though.

Not looking good for any flights at all today they dont seem to be able to get the place open like they used to in my days ! Maybe tomorrow morning will be the new opening time.
Glad I didnt book a holiday as the last time I used Lba in the winter was The Beast from the East Day and I ended up goind 12 hours late from East Midlands to Malta.

The departures board shows a flight as Now Boarding. All outbound have expected departure times sjieing but some as late as 1800. Miost are from 1500 onwards. I guess the next issue is de-icing, something they cannot do until ready to depart.

New NOTAM issued as Delta Taxiway is now restricted to code C aircraft due to works in progress

This is for work on the new stands. Some stands on the "new" apron have been re-jigged and we nowhave a stand 21North and 21South. Aircraft have to be towed onto these stands.

Translation anyone?

Translation anyone?

The first says that Stands 21 A,B and C are withdrawn from use, presumably due to construction work on the new adjacent stands.

The second refers to a change to the surveyed aerodrome elevation and the related obstacle clearance heights, which affect a good number of charts, SIDs and instrument approach procedures - these are then listed. No big deal, there are regular surveys which occasionally result in this sort of change.

Let's hope the airport is getting lower then. Many thanks.
