Ground or air taxiing

Share
After landing, the helicopter is required either to ground or air taxi via the existing taxiways into its allotted parking stands (on, east or military apron) which will be indicated by a ground signaler using orange bats.
Before taking off, the helicopter is required either to ground or air taxi via the existing taxiways from parking stand to appropriate spot.
Helicopter which is parked on west apron and intends to depart eastbound shall be cleared to taxi to East spot, or East intersection spot, or Hotel spot via taxiway specified in taxi clearance from AERODROME CONTROL TOWER.
Helicopter which is parked on east apron and intends o depart westbound shall be cleared to taxi to West spot, or West intersection spot, or Charlie spot via taxiway specified in taxi clearance from AERODROME CONTROL TOWER.
Helicopter which is landing and intends to park its aircraft at another side of apron, shall be cleared from landing spot to parking stand via taxiways specified in taxi clearance from AERODROME CONTROL TOWER.
Note.— Ground taxiing is less fuel than air taxiing (hovering)and minimize turbulence. However, under circumstances, such as rough, soft or uneven terrain, it may become necessary to hover (air taxi) for safety consideration.
