EIDW AD 2.20  LOCAL Aerodrome REGULATIONS

1. Ground Movement
1.1 General
  1. Stop-bars are provided at all runway entry/exit points and are illuminated to protect active runways. When a runway is inactive the associated stop-bar is normally not illuminated. However, specific clearance from ATC must still be obtained before entering or crossing an inactive runway.
  2. Pilots should use the minimum power necessary while taxiing. In apron areas, pilots should operate at the minimum power commensurate with the intended manoeuvre, due to the effect of jet blast on personnel, equipment and buildings.
  3. Flight crew are responsible for wing tip clearance and are reminded of the importance of maintaining a careful lookout at all times, regardless of location and visibility conditions.
  4. ATC may require aircraft to manoeuvre in close proximity to other aircraft. Avoidance of other aircraft is the responsibility of the flight crew involved. If doubt exists as to whether an aircraft can be passed safely, the flight crew should stop, advise ATC, and request alternative instructions if available.
  5. In order to assist in the safe separation of aircraft, when flight crew are instructed to stop at any runway-holding or intermediate holding position they should position the aircraft as close as possible to the relevant pavement marking while ensuring that the marking remains visible from the cockpit.
1.2 Turning
No turns should be made at the following Runway/Taxiway intersections:
  • No turns should be made by aircraft from RWY 28R to TWY N3 or vice versa.
  • No turns should be made by aircraft from RWY 28R to TWY N4 or vice versa.
  • No turns should be made by aircraft from RWY 28R to RWY 16 or vice versa.
  • No turns should be made by aircraft from RWY 10L to TWY N5 or vice versa.
  • No turns should be made by aircraft from RWY 10L to RWY 16 or vice versa.
  • No left turns should be made by aircraft from TWY M to RWY 34 or vice versa.
No turns should be made by aircraft at taxiway/taxiway intersections where taxi centreline markings are not provided.
Particular attention is drawn to the following:
  • No turns should be made by aircraft from TWY W1 to TWY S East of TWY W1 or vice versa.
  • No turns should be made by aircraft from TWY F1 to TWY B2 or vice versa.
  • No turns should be made by aircraft from TWY B2 to TWY E1 or vice versa.
  • No turns should be made by aircraft from TWY A to TWY F1 or vice versa.
  • No turns should be made by aircraft from TWY W1 to TWY W2 or vice versa at intersection with TWY S.
  • No turns should be made by aircraft from TWY M to TWY N5.
  • No turns should be made by aircraft from TWY N to TWY N3.
  • No left turns should be made by aircraft from TWY E2 to TWY F-OUTER.

1.5.2 When winds are westerly, Runway 28L shall be preferred for arriving aircraft. Either Runway 28L or 28R shall be used for departing aircraft as determined by air traffic control,
1.5.3 When winds are easterly, either Runway 10L or 10R as determined by air traffic control shall be preferred for arriving aircraft. Runway 10R shall be preferred for departing aircraft, and
1.5.4 Runway 10L-28R shall not be used for take-off or landing between 2300 hours and 0700 hours, except in cases of safety, maintenance considerations, exceptional air traffic conditions, adverse weather, technical faults in air traffic control systems or declared emergencies at other airports.
1.6 Runway 16-34 Operations
Unless otherwise instructed by ATC, aircraft vacating the runway must not stop on any of the following adjoining taxiways: E1, E2, B2, A, H1, M1, P1 or N. Aircraft vacating the runway and stopping in any of these taxiways are not clear of the runway.
Aircraft exiting the runway via TWY N4 must continue on to the section of taxiway parallel to the runway to clear the runway. Aircraft on the adjacent parallel taxiways must give way to aircraft vacating the runway.
1.7 Runway 28L Operations
Unless otherwise instructed by ATC, aircraft vacating the runway must not stop on any of the following taxiways: S3, S4, S5, S6. Aircraft vacating the runway and stopping on any of these taxiways are not clear of the runway. Aircraft exiting onto TWY S7 must continue on to the section of TWY S parallel to the runway to clear the runway. Aircraft on the adjacent parallel taxiways must give way to aircraft vacating the runway.
1.8 Runway 10R Operations
Unless otherwise instructed by ATC, aircraft vacating the runway must not stop on any of the following taxiways: S2, S3 and S4. ATC may instruct arrivals to stop on taxiways E1 or S1 on a tactical basis. Aircraft vacating the runway and stopping on any of these taxiways are not clear of the runway. Aircraft on the adjacent parallel taxiways must give way to aircraft vacating the runway.
1.9 Runway 28R Operations
Unless otherwise instructed by ATC, aircraft vacating the runway must not stop on any of the following taxiways: N5, N6 and N7. Aircraft vacating the runway and stopping on any of these taxiways are not clear of the runway. Aircraft exiting these taxiways must continue on to the section of TWY M parallel to the runway to clear the runway. Aircraft on the adjacent parallel taxiways must give way to aircraft vacating the runway.
1.10 Runway 10L Operations
Unless otherwise instructed by ATC, aircraft vacating the runway must not stop on any of the following taxiways: N4, N3, N2 and N1. Aircraft vacating the runway and stopping on any of these taxiways are not clear of the runway. Aircraft exiting these taxiways must continue on to the section of TWY N parallel to the runway to clear the runway. Aircraft on the adjacent parallel taxiways must give way to aircraft vacating the runway.
2. Availability of Intersection Take-Off
Take-offs using less than the full length of the runway are available (except during Low Visibility Operations) from TWY/RWY intersections as listed in EIDW AD 2.13
During Low Visibility Operations, intersection take-offs using less than the full length are NOT permitted from RWY10R/28L.
The datum from which the reduced declared distances on RWY10R/28L, RWY 10L/28R and RWY16 are measured is the downwind edge of the specific taxiway projected perpendicular to the runway centreline as per section III-3 of the European Air Navigation Plan
The datum from which the reduced declared distances on RWY34 are measured is the intersection of the extended downwind edge of Taxiway S with the runway edge projected perpendicular to the runway centreline.
The take-off run available (TORA) is displayed on an illuminated sign adjacent to the taxiway.
2.1 RWY10R/28L and RWY 16/34
Intersection take-offs are subject at all times to pilots' discretion and aircraft operational requirements. Pilots should advise as early as possible of their ability to accept intersection take-offs.
Approval for intersection take-offs is subject to the air traffic situation.
2.2 RWY 10L/28R
Intersection take-offs from N2 and N6 are considered the primary line up points for RWY28R and RWY10L respectively in normal operations and also in Low Visibility Operations. Taxiways N1 and N7 are NOT available for departure in LVOs. Pilots should advise as early as possible if unable to accept departure from these points. Further information refer to 3.3 HIRO Departures.
Intersection take-offs are not available during Low Visibility Operations.
High Intensity Runway Operations (HIRO)
High Intensity Runway Operations (HIRO) are valid from 0600 to 2400HR (local time) unless otherwise advised by ATC (e.g. via ATIS). The HIRO system optimises separation of aircraft on final approach in order to minimise runway occupancy time for both arriving and departing aircraft, thereby maximising runway utilisation and minimising “go-around”.
3.1 Arrivals
Pilots are reminded that by leaving the runway at the fastest speed commensurate with safety and standard operating procedures, ATC will be able to guide aircraft on final approach using minimum radar separation or separation minimum according to wake vortex category. Extended runway occupancy may result in a missed approach.
In order to reduce runway occupancy times, pilots shall apply the following procedure:
Pilots should pre-plan their landing and roll out to target the appropriate exit taxiway, weather permitting, that provides for a safe and expeditious exit from the runway to reduce delays and maximise utilisation at all times
Pilots are to ensure runway fully vacated before stopping i.e. aircraft are not to stop on any runway exit awaiting instructions from ATC but should continue on to the next available taxiway (unless instructed to do so by ATC)
Tactical requests to extend the landing roll to reduce ground taxi/exit nearer to parking stands are not to be made to ATC
Aircraft unable to vacate the runway via the preferred taxiways should notify ATC when the aircraft is between 8 and 4 NM from touchdown, or at the earliest opportunity after which it has been determined that it is unable to comply.
The preferred exit taxiways for RWY10R and RWY28L are:
RWYAircraft TypePreferred exit TWY Distance from threshold to exit point (m)
10RWingspan less than 36m and B757TWY S21690

All other aircraftRET N31700
28RAll aircraftRET N51600
* TWY S4 and N4 are not available as a runway exit during Low Visibility Operations
Pilots may plan their arrival using the threshold-to-exit-point distances set out in the table above. The distances are measured from the landing threshold to the point of the intersection of the runway centreline and the extended exit taxiway centreline pavement marking.
If the pilot of a landing aircraft cannot contact ATC due to RTF congestion, the pilot should fully vacate the runway and taxi into the next available taxiway. The pilot should then hold position until contact with ATC can be established.
3.2 Departures
ATC will consider every aircraft at the runway holding position as able to commence line-up and take-off roll immediately after clearance is issued, unless otherwise instructed. Pilots not ready when reaching the holding point (no aircraft in front on the same taxiway) shall advise ATC on Tower frequency as early as possible before entering the RWY. When cleared for take-off, ATC will expect and has planned on seeing movement within 10 seconds (of take-off clearance being issued). Wake vortex separation is applied by ATC in accordance with the published requirements. If more separation than the prescribed minima is requested, pilots shall notify ATC before entering the RWY.
Where possible, cockpit checks and cabin readiness should be completed before line-up and any checks needing completion on the runway should be kept to the minimum required. Pilots should not back-track when entering the runway unless specifically requested at the runway holding position.
Note: Pilots shall not cross the runway-holding position until the illuminated red stop bar has been extinguished. ATC do not issue conditional line-up clearances where stop bars are operational at line-up points.
3.3 Preferred Use of Intersection Take-Offs
Based on aircraft type and performance characteristics, ATC may issue instructions for aircraft to depart from runway intersections from which adequate take-off run is available. Intersection take-offs are subject at all times to pilots' discretion and aircraft operational requirements. Pilots unable to accept departure from an intersection point may request an alternate take-off position from ATC. Pilots requiring departure from the beginning of the runway should request it at the time of push-back/start-up, and such requests will be considered by ATC subject to delay.
The preferred use of intersection take-offs are set out in the table below.

6. Apron Parking and Marshalling of Aircraft
6.1 Aircraft are prohibited from entering any stand without the guidance of a marshaller, or the Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System (AVDGS) where provided. For availability of AVDGS, see EIDW AD 2.9.1
6.2 In order to prevent dazzling the marshaller or the push-back crew, pilots are requested to switch off the aircraft landing lights when reaching or leaving the parking position and, when equipped with both a conventional red anti-collision light and a sequenced white strobe light system, to switch off the latter system as well.
7. Building Served Stands
Aircraft using building served stands are required to vacate stand immediately at scheduled departure time.
8. Rapid Exit Taxiway – S5, N3, N5
Rapid Exit Taxiways (RETs) at Dublin Airport are designed for a maximum exit speed of 50 KT. However it is expected that aircraft using the RET will normally exit the runway at circa 35KT.
Rapid Exit Taxiway Indicator Lights (RETILs) are provided.
9.  Aerodrome Hotspot in the vicinity of Runways 28L and 34 thresholds.
9.1 The following details and associated diagram are provided for ease of familiarity with the aerodrome hotspot on this complex area of the aerodrome. The attention of all aircrews is drawn to the layout of taxiways, the location of holding positions, and the proximity of the thresholds of Runway 28L and Runway 34. Close attention must be paid to visual aids (markings, lighting, signage).
9.2 All taxiways are provided with location signs (yellow inscription on black background) and direction signs (black on yellow). Centreline markings and edge markings are also provided.
9.3 Mandatory signs, (white inscription on red background), are provided to identify locations which aircraft shall not pass unless authorised by ATC. These signs include runway designation signs, runway-holding position signs.
9.4 For normal visibility conditions, CAT I runway-holding positions are established on all taxiways which intersect with runways. The CAT I runway-holding position on Taxiway E1 is a combined position for Runway 10R/28L and Runway 16/34. CAT I runway-holding positions are also established on Runway 16/34, for aircraft taxiing along Runway 16/34 towards Runway 10R/28L, and on Runway 10R/28L for aircraft taxiing along Runway 10R/28L towards Runway 16/34. These holding positions are denoted by:
  1. Yellow painted holding-position markings;
  2. Red mandatory markings, Indicating the Designation of the runway ahead;
  3. Red mandatory signs, including the designation of the runway ahead;
  4. Red controllable stop bar lights (where shown on Aerodrome Chart);
  5. Yellow flashing runway guard lights (Configuration A);
  6. Location sign indicating the taxiway designation in yellow on a black background;
For low visibility conditions, a CAT II/III runway-holding position is established on Taxiways E1, S7, N2. These holding positions are denoted by:
  1. Yellow painted markings;
  2. Red mandatory signs;
  3. Red controllable stopbar lights;
  4. Yellow flashing runway guard lights (Configuration A);
  5. Location signs - yellow on a black background;
9.5 Runway-holding positions cannot be passed without permission from ATC.
9.6 Aircrews are advised that should they become unsure of their position while taxiing, they should contact ATC immediately and request assistance.
9.7 Due to the close proximity of the two runways Runway 28L and Runway 34, aircrews taking off from Runway 28L or Runway 34 are advised to ensure that they are lined up on the correct runway before commencing take-off run.
10 Stop bars
Pilots shall not cross illuminated stop bars. A pilot receiving instructions which imply that an illuminated stop bar should be crossed shall wait until the stop bar is extinguished. If the stop bar remains illuminated, the pilot shall request confirmation from ATC that the stop bar is to be crossed. Instructions to cross illuminated stop bars will only be given in exceptional circumstances.
In the event of failure of the stop bar control mechanism, the following line up points shall be used:
RunwayLine up Points
28LE1 and RWY 16
10RS7
16N4
34E1
28RN2 and N1
10LN6 and N7
The following phraseology shall be used by ATC to instruct pilots or vehicle drivers to cross an illuminated stop bar:
ATC: “[Callsign] Due to a failure of the control system, the stop bar will remain illuminated. Taxi/proceed across the stop bar on taxiway [designator] / runway [designator] Echo 1/Sierra 7/November 4 and line up RWY [designator] 34, 28L, 10R, 16, 10L, 28R”
Reply: “[Call-sign] Lining up Runway [10R/28L/34/16/10L/28R Designator] crossing stop bar” shall not cross illuminated stop bars. A pilot receiving instructions which imply that an illuminated stop bar should be crossed shall wait until the stop bar is extinguished. If the stop bar remains illuminated, the pilot shall request confirmation from ATC that the stop bar is to be crossed. Instructions to cross illuminated stop bars will only be given in exceptional circumstances. In the event of failure of the stop bar control mechanism, only TWY E1 (Runways 28L and 34), TWY S7 (Runway 10R), TWY N4 (Runway 16), TWYs N2 and N1 (Runway 28R) and TWYs N6 and N7 (Runway 10L) shall be used as line-up points.
11 Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM)
11.1 Flight Plan Validation
Three hours prior to the Estimated Off-Block Time (EOBT) of a flight, checks will be performed to verify the consistency between the ATC Flight Plan, Airport Slot and Airport Flight Data.
If the Scheduled Off-Block Time (SOBT) deviates from the EOBT, the relevant contact person will be informed and advised to adjust the times accordingly. Aircraft Operator (AO) or their Handling Agent (HA) is responsible for timely update of aircraft registration in the A-CDM portal (AOS).
11.2 Target Off-Block Time (TOBT)
This is the time that an Aircraft Operator or their Handling Agent estimates that an aircraft will be ready, all doors closed, boarding bridge removed, push back vehicle available, de-icing completed, and ready to start up/push back immediately upon reception of clearance from the Tower. TOBT= Prediction of “Aircraft Ready”
11.3 Automated TOBT
120 minutes prior to the Estimated Off-Block Time (EOBT), the A-CDM portal (AOS) system will automatically generate a default Target Off-Block Time (TOBT).
11.4 Person Responsible for TOBT
The Aircraft Operator or their agent is responsible for entry, update and if necessary deletion of TOBT’s. It is the responsibility of the AO/HA to communicate and ensure the pilot of a flight has the correct TOBT prior to calling for clearance. TSAT will also be included in DCL messages. If it becomes obvious that the TOBT cannot be respected, it shall be corrected or re-entered by the person responsible for the TOBT. Since the TOBT is used for various ground processes, it shall be updated by the person responsible for the TOBT when deviations of more than 5minutes occur. For deviations of 15minutes or more from the EOBT, it will still be mandatory to send a delay message (DLA) to the Network Manager.
11.5 TOBT Update/Deletion
Until the TSAT has been issued (TOBT minus 40 minutes) the TOBT can be updated as often as desired. After the TSAT has been issued, the TOBT can be updated up to three times. If a sixth TOBT update is required the flights TSAT will be removed and the flight will get re-sequenced. It is important to recognise that once sequenced, changes to TOBT are likely to impact the aircraft’s position in the Pre-Departure Sequence (PDS). TOBTs require updating if they differ by 5mins from the previous declared TOBT. If a flight is to be taken out of the TOBT/TSAT calculation, the TOBT shall be deleted. The TOBT shall be re-entered by the person responsible for the TOBT.
11.6 TOBT Reporting Routines
The TOBT is viewed and or adjusted in one of the following ways:
  • A-CDM Portal (AOS)
  • AOS Mobile Application
  • Internal system of the Airline/Handling Agent (via interface)
  • By telephone via the Dublin Airport Control Centre (ACC), Phone + 353 (0) 1 814 4352
  • Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System (A-VDGS) (specific stands)
11.7 Target Start-up Approval Time (TSAT)
The TSAT is the target time for start-up approval according to the Dublin A-CDM Operational procedures, taking into account TOBT, Calculated Take Off Time (CTOT), and/or the traffic situation. The earliest time for the TSAT calculation (by the PDS) is 40 minutes prior to TOBT. TOBT is the time at which an Aircraft Operator, or his duly accredited representative expect the flight will be ready to commence movement; whereas the TSAT is the time at which Ground will grant the start-up. It is the responsibility of the AO/HA to communicate the most up to date TSAT to the pilot, prior to doors closing. The “Pre-Departure Sequence” is a result of the calculated TSATs.
11.8 TSAT Reporting Routines
The TSAT is transmitted in one of the following ways, via:
  • A-CDM Portal (AOS)
  • AOS Mobile application
  • Internal system of the airline/Handling agent (via interface)
  • Datalink Clearance (DCL). If a TSAT changes post clearance, ATC will communicate the revised TSAT verbally to the pilot. A revised DCL message will not be issued, post ATC clearance.
  • Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System (A-VDGS) (specific stands)
11.9 Start-up and Push-back
The sequence of push and start is based on the TSAT sequence. The following rules apply:
  • The Pilot shall report ready to push and start at TOBT (+/-) 5 minutes. (ATC clearance (including DCL) shall be requested any time prior to TOBT from delivery)
  • The aircraft has to be ready for start-up at TOBT
  • Ground will issue push and start approval at TSAT (+/-) 5 minutes
  • If pilots have received their ATC clearance and called at TOBT and Ground has not called to give push and start approval by TSAT + 5minutes, pilots are requested to call Ground requesting push and start approval.
In case of delays (>5 minutes) after ATC clearance has been received and/or a call ready at TOBT has been made, pilot shall inform clearance of the delay and a new TOBT must be sent by the AO/HA.
11.10 Datalink Clearances (DCL)
For datalink departure clearance (DCL), the published procedures and the time parameters published in the AIP will remain valid. The TSAT will also be transmitted in DCL messages.
11.11 De-icing
De-icing must be completed before an aircraft can report ready for push and start. De-icing times shall be taken into account, to calculate the TOBT.
11.12 Coordination with the Network Manager (NMOC)
A permanent and fully automatic data exchange with the Network Operations will be established. This data transfer will enable highly accurate early predictions of landing and departure times. Furthermore, this will allow for more accurate and efficient calculation of the CTOT (when applicable) due to the use of local target take-off times. The following messages are used:
  • Flight Update Message (FUM)
  • Early Departure Planning Information Message (E-DPI)
  • Target Departure Planning Information Message (T-DPI)
  • ATC Departure Planning Information Message (A-DPI)
The basic Network Operations procedures continue to apply. The Network operations will generally take those local Target Take -Off Times (TTOT) into consideration, when updating the flights’ profiles in its system. In some cases Clearance Delivery position will offer to coordinate a new CTOT (if applicable) in agreement with the pilot.
11.13 Remote Holding
In the event of a contact stand not being available, Dublin Airport will request a remote hold stand position from ATC. The Pre-departure Sequencer (PDS) will recalculate the variable taxi time from this new remote hold location.
11.14 Contact and Information
For the TOBT dialogue and the TSAT submission, all Aircraft Operators/Handling Agents have to appoint a person responsible for TOBT and give the details to the airport company.
VFR flights are not part of the A-CDM process and therefore do not require TOBTs to be entered.
11.15 Contact Details

6. Departure Procedures
6.1 Departure Clearance Service using Datalink (DCL-)
6.1.1 Introduction
6.1.1.1 The DCL service uses the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS).
DCL messages are described in EUROCAE ED-85A Appendix A and ARINC 623-2.
6.1.1.2 DCL departure clearances are provided solely to those flights departing Dublin Airport.
6.1.1.3 Clearance Delivery Procedures via RT (voice) will be utilised in the event of datalink transaction failure.
6.1.1.4 Oceanic traffic can receive domestic clearances via ACARS.
6.1.2 Datalink procedure
6.1.2.1 The pilot will send a departure clearance request utilising the on-board datalink interface. Minimum 15 minutes before start-up. Any slot times will be taken into account by the pilot in the request if appropriate.
6.1.2.2 If the clearance is not received by the pilot within 3 minutes of the request the pilot will contact ATC through the normal RT communication channels and obtain a clearance on RT.
6.1.2.3 Where the pilot receives a Datalink reply and cannot accept the clearance he will contact ATC through the normal RT channels to obtain, an alternate clearance on RT.
6.1.2.4 If the pilot is satisfied with the Datalink clearance an acknowledgement message will be sent to the ground system.
6.1.2.4.1 If the ground system does not receive the acknowledgement message within 3 minutes after the clearance has been transmitted, or if an invalid message is received, ATC will contact the pilot through the normal VHF channels and issue the clearance via RT (voice).
6.1.2.5 All departure clearances issued through the normal VHF RT voice channels will cancel the DCL service.
6.2 RWY 28L, 28R, 10L, 10R, 16 and 34 Departures
6.2.1 Standard Instrument Departures (SID)
Aircraft on IFR flights departing from RWY 28L, 28R, 10L, 10R, 16 and 34 will proceed in accordance with Standard Instrument Departures (SID) WHICH ALSO INCLUDE MANDATORY NOISE ABATEMENT ELEMENTS for jet aircraft.
Category C and D departures shall remain on DUBLIN TOWER frequency until passing 2,000ft, then contact DUBLIN ACC Lower North/DUBLIN ACC Lower South as appropriate.
Where ICAO obstacle clearance criteria require minimum climb gradient greater than 3.3% the required values will be included in the SID.
As a cross check to confirm the correct SID has been selected in the FMS, Category C and D departures will be requested by CDS to confirm the first waypoint on the SID e.g. RWY 10R “DW553”.
6.2.2 OMNI Directional Departures
Aircraft subject to an OMNI Directional Departures instruction from RWY 28L, 28R, 10L, 10R, 16 and 34 climb straight ahead to 3000ft, and then depart on track as cleared by ATC, maintain a minimum climb gradient of 6.6% for ATM (400ft/NM) (4% for obstacle clearance). Remain on DUBLIN TOWER frequency until passing 2,000ft, then contact DUBLIN ACC lower North/DUBLIN ACC Lower South as appropriate. CAUTION: Close-in-obstacles (Mast, Poles, Fence, Trees, Equipment) exist.
6.3 Communications failure procedures for departing aircraft
Aircraft experiencing communications failure in the Dublin CTA/CTR shall set transponder code A7600 and comply with standard ICAO procedures,
Supplemented by the following:
  1. For aircraft departing on a SID where no cruising level has been specified in the enroute clearance (and therefore no level specified in the Current Flight Plan) the climb, after the appropriate time interval, shall be to the level contained in the Filed Flight Plan.
  2. Aircraft routeing on a ROTEV SID expecting transition to BOYNE
    Aircraft routeing on a ROTEV SID experiencing communications failure, and expecting transition to BOYNE, should continue to ROTEV, then, in the most expeditious manner, route to BOYNE to join the Current Flight Plan route. Maintain the last assigned level for a period of three minutes, and then climb to the level specified in the Current Flight Plan.
7. Low Visibility Procedures
7.1. Low Visibility Procedures
Low Visibility Procedures means procedures applied at an Aerodrome for the purpose of ensuring safe operations during lower than Standard Category I, other than Standard Category II, Category II and III approaches and low visibility take-offs. Low Visibility take-off (LVTO) means a take-off with a runway visual range (RVR) lower than 400m but not less than 75m.
When Low Visibility Procedures are in force the following standard taxi route system applies:
