Manchester: Airport - NOTAMS/OANS

[BlueManc]

Just had a look at NOTAMs and the 'no div' instruction has vanished but there's this:

A1380/19 NOTAMN Q) EGTT/QMPXX/IV/BO /A /000/999/5321N00217W005 A) EGCC B) 1905101513 C) 1906102359 E) PILOTS BE ADVISED TO EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN MANOEUVRING AND PARKING ONTO STANDS 103 TO 112 AS SURFACE MAY BE SLIPPERY WHEN WET

Someone will be 'Livin' On a Prayer' about that as they maybe 'Wanted Dead or Alive' 😎

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 A5, Taxiway Lima, via IHP L1 (HJ) and L2 and Taxiway Charlie, via IHP C2 (HJ), as required.
4.2.2 A380 aircraft, taxiing inbound following a Runway 23R arrival will directed along Taxiways Alpha and Bravo and/or Kilo for docking on Stand 12. The routing through IHP C2 will only be used under exceptional circumstances i.e. incorrect routing or when a traffic situation is such that no other routing is possible.
4.2.3 Flight crews should be aware that the turn between IHPs C2 and D3 has an unlit painted taxiway centreline and blue taxiway edge lighting.
4.2.4 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.
4.3 Aircraft Pushbacks
4.3.1 For the duration of the works, the standard pushback for ICAO Code F (A380) aircraft from Stand 12 will be;
• Pushback towards Intermediate Holding Position (IHP) L1 and then tow forwards to IHP D3 before tug release. See attached drawing and written procedure. An Airfield Operations Safety & Compliance Officer must be in attendance for ALL pushbacks to safeguard the aircraft wingtip from vehicles on the apron road at Stand 10 and to check that the aircraft push remains on the demarked nosewheel route.
4.3.2 During the night time closure of a section of Taxiway Lima, aircraft pushing back from: • Stands 2, 4, 6 & 8 will be given a non-standard push to taxi out via IHP L2.
• Stands 10, 12L and 12R will require the assistance of an ASCO to confirm that the area behind their stand is clear and to remove the barriers on Taxiway Lima before they can push back.
4.4 Stand restrictions
4.4.1 Airfield Control will endeavour to park night stopping aircraft on Stand 10 before Taxiway Lima closes at 21:30hrs. However, due to the scheduled departure time of the A380, it is unlikely that an aircraft will be parked on Stand 12L before this time; therefore, if works has commenced in Area 2 the inbound aircraft for Stand 12L (and Stand 10 as necessary) must shut down its engines and be towed on to stand. An ASCO will attend to remove the barriers and provide a Follow Me along any unlit section of taxiway.

3.2 All work will be located landside within the Energy Centre Switchroom. There will be no physical work taking place on the airfield.
4.0 OPERATIONAL IMPLICATIONS
4.1 On the afternoon/early evening of Monday 22nd July, between the hours of 14:00 and 19:00L the following items of airfield infrastructure will be unavailable for use;
 FEGP units on Stands 202, 203 and 204.
 EBT charging units located on Stand 201.
4.2 All affected airfield infrastructure will be returned to service upon completion of works.
4.3 Unless operationally required, Airfield Control will avoid allocating aircraft to Stands 202, 203 and 204 whilst the FEGP units are unavailable.
4.4 In the event of it being necessary to allocate an aircraft to any of the aforementioned stands whilst the FEGP units are unavailable, Handling Agents will be required to provide mobile Ground Power Units.
4.5 Where practicable, the use of the EBT charging units on Stand 201 should be completed by 14:00L and vehicles disconnected from the units prior to the start of the power outage.
5.0 CONSIDERATIONS PRIOR TO START OF WORKS
5.1 Prior to the start of works, a check will be carried out to ensure that there are no aircraft parked on Stands 202, 203 or 204 connected to FEGP units. Work will not be permitted to commence until any parked aircraft have either departed or been disconnected from the FEGP supply.
5.2 Again, prior to the start of works, a check will be undertaken to ensure that there are no vehicles connected to the EBT charging units on Stand 201.
6.0 LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES (LVP)
6.1 Overall, the work has no impact on the airport’s ability to operate during periods of low visibility.

OAN 77-2019 REMOTE DE-ICING PAD OPERATION
OAN REF:- 77/2019 DATE OF ISSUE:- 24/07/19 EFFECTIVE DATE:- 31/07/19 EXPIRY DATE:- N/A
1.0 SUMMARY
1.1 Manchester Airport, in collaboration with Menzies Aviation, EasyJet and Jet2.com, will be trialling the concept of a remote de-icing pad for Winter 2019/2020. However, a pre-season test of the process will be undertaken at the end of July.
2.0 PROGRAMME
2.1 The remote de-icing pad test will take place on the Wednesday 31st July 2019, during first wave operations.
2.2 The approximate operational times will be 05:00 – 09:00hrs local.
3.0 LOCATION
3.1 The remote de-icing pad is located between intermediate taxiway hold points (IHP) Bravo 4 (B4) and Bravo 5 (B5).
3.2 The remote de-icing pad can operate in either an Easterly or a Westerly direction.
4.0 DE-ICING PAD LAYOUT
4.1 The remote de-icing pad can accommodate 2 x Code-C aircraft. This consists of 1 aircraft being de-iced and 1 aircraft in the standby position.
4.2 ATC may use adjacent taxiways to hold additional aircraft and/or circulate aircraft around taxiway islands to maximise flow to the de-icing pad.
4.3 Taxiway Bravo between IHP B4 and B5 will remain as a Code E Taxiway at all times when the de-icing pad is not in use.
5.0 PRE-PLANNING
5.1 Menzies Aviation, in collaboration with EasyJet and Jet2.com, will determine which aircraft are to be deiced within the pad and enter the appropriate code into Chroma. This will be undertaken every evening for the following day to assist the Airline, ATC, Airfield Control and the Ground Handlers by knowing in advance where the aircraft is to be de-iced.
5.2 Menzies Aviation have the ability to amend the plan as dynamic scenarios dictate. Communication is extremely important when a change occurs and Menzies Aviation must amend Chroma but also support with verbal communications to airlines, GHAs, Airfield Control and ATC.
6.0 REMOTE DE-ICING PAD LOCATION AND DESIGN
6.1 The remote de-icing pad is located on Taxiway Bravo, between ITHPs Bravo 4 and Bravo 5.
6.2 The remote de-icing pad can be utilised in either a Westerly or an Easterly direction.
6.3 The remote de-icing pad can accommodate 2 x Code C aircraft (A320/B737), 1 position for active de-icing and 1 position for standby (aircraft reconfiguration for de-icing).
6.4 During active de-icing operations Taxiway Bravo between IHP Bravo 4 and 5 will be operated as a code C taxiway.
7.0 AIRCRAFT PUSHBACK AND TAXI
7.1 Aircraft will request pushback clearance in the normal way.
7.2 When the remote de-icing pad is operating efficiently, ATC will aim to pushback aircraft when the deicing and standby position in the remote de-icing pad is occupied. This should allow the aircraft to push, start and taxi directly into the standby position (as by this time the standby aircraft will now be engaged in active de-icing). This will ensure a continuous supply of aircraft to the remote de-icing pad. 7.3 Aircraft will request taxi clearance to the remote de-icing pad and continue under own power as directed by ATC.
7.4 At an appropriate point, ATC will hand the aircraft onto the remote de-icing Pad Controller (call sign ‘Menzies De-icing’) on 135.005 MHz Aircraft should ensure that their standby frequency is selected as Manchester Ground on 121.855 MHz in case of emergency.
8.0 ENTERING THE REMOTE DE-ICING PAD
8.1 Aircraft will either stop abeam (commander side) the ‘STOP DE-ICE’ or ‘STOP STANDBY’ depending on traffic in the pad. Expediency of aircraft movements is paramount to ensure efficiency of the remote deicing pad is maintained.
8.2 The aircraft Commander will then configure and prepare their aircraft for de-icing. Aircraft will ideally be configure their aircraft in the standby position.
8.3 When safe to do so and the de-icing pad aircraft position is clear, the Commander of the queuing aircraft will taxi their aircraft on to the pad to the ‘STOP DE-ICE’ position and set the parking brake.
8.4 NOTE: If both the aircraft queuing position and de-icing pad position are both clear of aircraft, the aircraft Commander shall immediately enter the de-icing pad and come to a stop at the ‘STOP DE-ICE’ position and set the parking brake.
8.5 Using the aircraft registration as the call-sign, the remote de-icing Pad Controller (call sign ‘Menzies Deicing’) will contact the aircraft Commander on 135.005 MHz to confirm that the aircraft parking brake is set, the aircraft is configured for de-icing and to request any details as to specific requirements.
8.6 All remote de-icing pad servicing vehicles are to remain in the paint marked Safe Zones whilst aircraft are manoeuvring on the remote de-icing pad. This ensures vehicles remain clear of the Code-C taxiway strip.
9.0 OPERATING WITHIN THE REMOTE DE-ICING PAD
9.1 If for any reason the aircraft, having entered the de-icing pad is not in the correct position on the taxiway, either in relation to the designated ‘Stop’ position or in relation to the Taxiway Centre Line, the de-icing Pad Controller will ask the aircraft Commander to contact MANCHESTER GROUND on VHF radio on frequency 121.855 MHz to request permission to taxi the aircraft around in order to reposition in the correct position within the remote de-icing pad.
9.2 Prior to utilising the de-icing rigs for remote ‘engines running’ de-icing, a FOD check for loose items will be completed by the driver in addition to ensuring the equipment doors on the de-icing rig equipment bays are securely fastened in the closed position.
9.3 Each de-icing rig involved in the de-icing process shall remain in the Safe Zone, with the de-icing rig positioned so that the de-icing rig faces the flight deck of the aircraft when the aircraft has come to a stop on the remote de-icing pad. The Safe Zone shall be a previously designated and identified area adjacent to the pad. Each de-icing rig will remain in its Safe Zone until instructed to move by the de-icing Pad Controller.
9.4 The Pad Controllers vehicle will then enter the taxiway and stop in position with the handbrake applied in front of the aircraft nose, leaving sufficient space to enable the flight crew to clearly see the vehicle. This vehicle position is the required visual method of communication with the aircraft Commander and will prevent the aircraft being inadvertently moved forward during the de-icing process. The de-icing Pad Control vehicle shall remain stationary in front of the aircraft nose throughout the de-icing process and will only vacate the remote de-icing pad when all de-icing rigs and personnel have vacated the taxiway area.
9.5 Only when the flight crew have confirmed that the ‘aircraft is prepared for spraying’ shall the de-icing process commence.
9.6 Only when the de-icing Pad Controllers vehicle is in position in front of the aircraft nose, with the parking brake set, shall the de-icing Pad Controller communicate to each de-icing rig via UHF radio to pull forward and position itself adjacent to the leading edge of the aircrafts port and starboard wings. 9.7 Before leaving the marked Safe Zone area, each de-icing rig crew will position the MEWP to ensure that the lower surface of the basket floor is elevated to a height to provide 1.5 metres clearance from the upper surface of the aircraft engine. This shall be the minimum height position for the MEWP whilst engaged in de-icing activities on the remote de-icing pad. Only when the de-icing rig re-enters the Safe Zone may the MEWP basket then be lowered below this minimum height position. This MEWP position also provides for a good 360° view whilst the de-icing rig is manoeuvring. Whilst the basket is in the elevated position the de-icing rig speed limiter will also automatically engage
9.8 The route taken into the de-icing pad by each de-icing rig will always be the same route to exit the pad.
9.9 Each de-icing rig will manoeuvre and position adjacent to the aircraft airframe strictly in accordance with the ‘STOP POSITIONS FOR OPEN BASKET DE-ICING RIGS’ diagram, which may be found within the Appendices of this Process.
9.10 The de-icing Pad Controller shall advise the aircraft Commander that the de-icing process will now commence.
9.11 The aircraft shall be de-iced/anti-iced in accordance with Menzies Aviation Company Procedures and all supplementary instruction provided by the de-icing Pad Controller.
9.12 The de-icing Pad Controller will maintain a constant listening watch on ATC MANCHESTER GROUND Frequency 121.855 MHz, as well as the dedicated de-icing frequency 135.005 MHz. UHF radio communication between the de-icing Pad Controller and the de-icing rigs shall be maintained throughout the de-icing process, albeit whilst the de-icing is in progress the radio communication with each de-icing rig will be minimal.
9.13 Each de-icing rig engaged in remote de-icing processes is fitted with a mounted anemometer instrument, linked to a digital display mounted within the de-icing rig drivers cab and visible to the de-icing rig driver at all times. The purpose of the fitted anemometer is to provide additional reference for the de-icing rig driver to ensure that the de-icing rig remains outside of the main engine efflux. The maximum permissible velocity reading on the anemometer display shall be no more than 20 metres/second, which is equal to 45mph or 72kph.
9.14 If the de-icing Pad Controller loses clear VHF communications with the Flight Crew, a call to ATC MANCHESTER GROUND on frequency 121.855 MHz will request that remote de-icing is suspended, until such time that VHF communications with the aircraft are re-established. In all cases two UHF and two VHF radios, with an established power supply will be carried in the de-icing Pad Controllers vehicle, in order to provide for ‘redundancy’ in the case of equipment malfunction.
9.15 If in the case of an emergency on board the aircraft, the aircraft Commander shall communicate to the de-icing teams the requirement for the de-icing process to cease by means of continual flashing of Landing and Taxi Lights fitted to the nose undercarriage leg, or by the passing of a VHF radio message on frequency 135.005 MHz. The de-icing rigs will immediately return to the Safe Zone, immediately followed by the de-icing Pad Controllers vehicle, positioned so that the de-icing rigs and de-icing Pad Controllers vehicle are visible to the aircraft Commander. All vehicles shall then remain in the Safe Zones until advised to move by the aircraft Commander, or by Airfield Operations.
9.16 On completion of the de-icing activity, and following confirmation to the de-icing Pad Controller that the aircraft is free from frozen contamination, each de-icing rig will exit the de-icing pad and return to the Safe Zone positioned so as to be visible to the aircraft Commander, each rig is to be parked with the parking brake applied.
9.17 Only when the all de-icing rigs have returned to the Safe Zone may the de-icing Pad Controllers vehicle then proceed to the Safe Zone, positioned to be clearly visible to the aircraft Commander, with the parking brake applied.
9.18 The de-icing Pad Controller shall immediately pass the required Anti-icing Code via VHF radio on frequency 135.005 MHz to the aircraft Commander.
9.19 Immediately following confirmation of receipt of the Anti-icing Code by the aircraft Commander, the deicing Pad Controller will then advise the aircraft Commander to contact MANCHESTER GROUND on VHF radio on frequency 121.855 MHz.
10.0 EXITING THE REMOTE DE-ICING PAD
10.1 On completion of receipt of the Anti-icing Code the aircraft currently being de-iced will immediately request taxi-clearance via MANCHESTER GROUND on 121.855 MHz for departure.
10.2 Manchester ATC will prioritise remote de-icing pad exit taxi clearances to ensure the continual steady flow to the pad. Aircraft must not cross ITHP Bravo 4 or Bravo 5.
11.0 LOW VISIBILITY OPERATIONS (LVOs)
11.1 In the event of LVOs, access to the de-icing pad will not be permitted. All de-icing will revert to on stand de-icing
