Since I've not seen an OAN having been issued for this change, although OAN 126/2018 is currently missing, I thought I would include details from the relevant NOTAM

Q) EGTT/QMXCL/IV/M/A/000/999/5321N00217W005
B) FROM: 18/12/10 16:00C) TO: 19/03/10 06:00
E) TWY NA HAS RELOCATED 82M NORTH OF OLD LOCATION. TWY IS UNLIT. FOLLOW
ME PROVIDED HN AND DURING LOW VIS OPS

My understanding of this change is that the airport is temporarily using the new Pier One taxiway Kilo but under the old taxiway name.

Any thoughts from anyone else?

Hi Scottie

It is OAN 118.

I agree this seems to be the new Kilo or at least most of it but they have clearly decided to keep November Alpha until either it is complete or until they rename all the taxiways. It will become operational between Delta and November within the next month so they can start on the remotes for Pier 2

Thanks Comet. Roverman on Pprune has confirmed our thoughts although he says that it will remain as November Alpha until around early 2020 before being given its new designation of Kilo.

• Taxiway Bravo between IHPs B2 and B3.
• Taxiway Charlie at IHP C1.
• Taxiway Kilo at IHP K4.
4.2 Northside Taxiways
- Aircraft Manoeuvring Restrictions
4.2.1 For the duration of the works, aircraft will be routed around the works area using a combination of Taxiway Alpha (via IHP A4), Taxiway Charlie (via IHP C2) and Taxiway Delta (via IHP D3), as required.
4.2.2 Flight crews should be aware that the turn between IHPs C2 and D3 has an unlit painted taxiway centreline and blue taxiway edge lighting.
4.2.3 Furthermore, the turn between IHPs C2 and D3 is restricted in terms of permitted aircraft size, as follows;
• C2 to D3 (right turn) – Maximum A330-300.
• D3 to C2 (left turn) – Maximum B757-300.
4.2.4 Aircraft larger than those specified above that cannot taxi past the works area using the turn between IHPs C2 and D3 will be required to either;
• Take a diverted taxiway route via Taxiways Lima and Delta.
• Backtrack Runway 05L-23R, as directed by ATC.
4.2.5 Taxiway Bravo between IHP B4 and IHP B5 will be downgraded to a Code E Taxilane for the duration of the works.
4.2.6 Due to the requirement for mustering of works site traffic, Taxiway Bravo, between IHPs B4 and B5 will be restricted to a maximum of ICAO Code C aircraft types (B737/A321) each night that work takes place. The taxiway will be returned to ICAO Code E (B747/B777) capability upon the completion of works each morning. The fixed melba logs positioned at 26m from Taxiway Bravo centreline, delineating the muster point, and the portable blast screens will remain in situ throughout the works.
4.3 Implications for manoeuvring of ICAO Code F (A380) Aircraft
4.3.1 For the duration of the works, Taxiway Alpha, via IHP A4, will be available for use by ICAO Code F (A380) aircraft. The route provides an ICAO Code F ASTL strip width of 47.5m.
4.3.2 A380 aircraft, taxiing inbound following a Runway 23R arrival will be met at IHP A3 by an Airfield Operations Follow-Me vehicle, and guided along Taxiway Alpha via IHP A4, thence onwards through Taxiway Charlie via IHP C2 (for docking on Stand 12).
4.3.3 A380 flight crews may require the use of judgemental oversteer techniques due to pavement to main gear clearance dropping to a minimum of 2m along a portion of the sweeping turn to the west of IHP A4.
4.3.4 For A380 aircraft departing from Stand 12, a choice of two standard pushback manoeuvres will be introduced, as follows;
• Push tail towards IHP D4, pull forward to TRP 12, facing runways. Engine start at TRP. or
• Push back onto Taxiway Delta through IHP D4. Aircraft nose-wheel abeam Stand 61L centreline facing IHP A5.
4.3.5 The choice of pushback manoeuvre will be selected tactically by ATC.
4.3.6 The choice of A380 pushback procedures are described within Manchester Airport Aircraft Pushback Procedures Revision X-Ray and are depicted within this document.
4.3.7 When pushed back to abeam Stand 61L, for a Runway 05L departure, after tug release, the aircraft will be instructed to taxi straight-on along Taxiway Alpha, through IHP A5.
4.3.8 When taxiing outbound to Runway 05L via Taxiway Alpha, an Airfield Operations Follow-Me vehicle will be positioned at IHP A5 and will guide the aircraft along Taxiway Alpha. 4.3.9 Standard taxi routes following a Runway 05L or 05R arrival, and for a Runway 23L or 23R departure will be unaffected.
4.4 Aircraft Engine Testing
4.4.1 The Engine Test Bay will be available for use throughout the programme of works, with some limitations, as described below.
4.4.2 Due to the interface between the Engine Test Bay and the adjacent (active) Taxiway Alpha, there may be timing restrictions put in place for Engine Test Bay bookings for the following aircraft types;
• B747, A340-500, A350-900.
4.4.3 When the above aircraft are parked within the Engine Test Bay, Taxiway Alpha will be closed.
4.4.4 Aircraft up to a maximum size of A330-300/ B777-200 may be parked in the Engine Test Bay whilst Taxiway Alpha is operational, this includes the use of Taxiway Alpha by ICAO Code F (A380) aircraft.
4.4.5 The designated open-field engine testing location on Taxiway Kilo will be unavailable for the duration of the works. Depending on the prevailing runway operating mode, open-field testing locations will be tactically determined by the Airfield Duty Manager and will consider any operational impact such engine testing may have on the airfield.
4.4.6 Further information regarding aircraft engine testing can be obtained from the Airfield Duty Manager. NB: Due to local authority agreements and government planning conditions, open-field engine tests are subject to extensive restrictions and therefore significant delays to the commencement of engine tests on the open airfield may occur during this phase of development work.
5.0 LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES (LVP)
5.1 Overall, the work has no impact on the airport’s ability to operate during periods of low visibility.
6.0 FURTHER INFORMATION
6.1 A NOTAM(s) promulgating significant operational detail will be issued prior to the start of works. An updated AIP Supplement will be published on 17th January 2019.
