Start UP/PUSH Back Procedure For Turbine Aircraft

Share
The normal procedure is for a pilot to advise AERODROME CONTROL TOWER that it is starting in 3-5 minutes ascertain that aircraft will not get delay due to traffic.

When a delay is expected, AERODROME CONTROL TOWER shall advise the pilot of the earlier time of departure.

For a wide-bodied or jumbo jet aircraft parked on Terminal ALPHA and BRAVO, AERODROME CONTROL TOWER shall issue a pushback time instead of clearance to start up.

Due to possibility of conflict in traffic, a clearance expiry time may be issued with the pushback time. A clearance shall be considered cancelled if an aircraft is unable to comply with the time so specified.

Pushback clearance shall contain the heading direction which should be followed by flight crew before commencing taxi by ending the pushback clearance with the phraseology: [C/S] PUSHBACK APPROVED HEADING NORTH (or SOUTH).


Note.— The determination of heading North or South is depend on the location of exit taxiway from apron. For example, if an aircraft is parked on main apron and the runway-in-use will be 34L/34R, heading assignment should be HEADING SOUTH.
