6Remarks
Aircraft Code Restrictions
  • Code E aircraft and code F aircraft not permitted on adjacent Taxilane curves at the same time in any direction.
  • Code F aircraft pushed onto TXL J south of Concourse B & C must align / report on centre line before an aircraft can pass on TXL U.
  • Code F aircraft cannot be on TXL J & TXL J1 curve at the same time as Code E aircraft on TXL U & TXL Y curve.
  • Code F aircraft cannot be on TXL J & TXL J2 curve at the same time as Code E aircraft on TXL U & TXL W curve.
  • Code F aircraft cannot be on sections of TXL W & TXL J2 between TWY K & TXL Z at the same time.
  • Code F aircraft cannot be on sections of TXL J1 & TWY Y between TWY K & TXL Z at the same time.
  • Code F aircraft are only permitted to taxi behind when code D or smaller aircraft is at the RHP at TWY K1, TWY K2, TWY K3, TWY K4, and TWY K5.
MARS Stands
  • Pilots to use the correct CL when arriving on assigned stand.
  • Refer Charts OMDB-AD-2-22B and OMDB-AD-2-22C.
  • C51L/C51/C51R is a Multiple Apron Ramp System (MARS) stand. The following must be noted as there is a potential for stand signage confusion.
    • Stand lead‐in line for C51L & C51 starts from TWY K and TXL Z. Taxiing westbound, C51 lead‐in line is beyond the C51L lead‐in line.
    • Stand lead‐in line for C51R originates from TXL Z1.
Wingtip Clearances
  • To ensure wingtip clearance behind, flight crew are to hold as close as possible to RHP/IHP to remain visual with RHP/IHP paint markings and stop bar lights.
  • Pilots to use minimum power when using any 90-degree link northbound from TXL Z flight/towing crew are responsible for maintaining wingtip clearance. If in doubt crew should stop, advice ATC, and await further instructions.
  • Minimum wingtip clearance of 7.5 M for Code F operations on TWY N abeam TWY P5 (due to presence of substation south side of TWY N).
  • In order to ensure safe wingtip clearance, crossover taxiways are used only when authorised by ATC.
Jet Blast
  • Due to Jet blast concerns, flight crew must use minimum power when taxiing in vicinity of Apron areas.
  • In the event that an aircraft comes to a complete halt whilst entering a parking stand or taking a turn towards an adjoining taxiway, aircrew must hold position and contact ATC for assistance to ensure the area behind is free from effects of jet blast.
  • Aircraft taxiing via TWY K16 and TWY K17 for departure RWY 30L shall use minimum power due to proximity of Apron H.
  • TWY J4 link between TXL Z and TWY K operational. Northbound powered aircraft movement is not permitted on this link turning from TXL Z due to jet blast concerns. Pilots to follow ATC instructions.
    For jet blast locations, Refer chart OMDB-AD-2-24
Push-back Restrictions
  • Push-back onto TXL J and TXL U:
    • Code F will push-back onto TXL J and Code E will push-back onto TXL U. Note that TXL U is Code E compatible and TXL J is Code F compatible.
    • Due to proximity of TXL J and TXL U (south of B stands), pilots on TXL J and TXL U must adhere to CL at all times and must confirm aircraft aligned on CL prior to reporting push-back complete.
    • Due to Code F push-back onto TXL J, a Code E on TXL U in the vicinity of the pushing Code F shall keep clear and hold position until the Code F pilot reports to ATC that the push-back is complete on TXL J. Follow ATC instructions at all times.
    • Code F aircraft on TXL J shall not pass code E aircraft during push-back onto TXL U.
    • Code E aircraft on TXL U shall not pass code F aircraft during push-back onto TXL J.
  • Aircraft are permitted to push-back and start up on the push or to start 1 engine on stand at idle power before push-back. In the event of simultaneous push-back from adjacent stands, ground crew may ask to delay the engine start until the ground crew on the aircraft behind is clear of the forward aircraft’s jet blast zone. See OMDB AD 2.23.9 for further details
  • Under normal circumstances push-backs onto the outer taxiways are NOT permitted. Exceptions to this are B stands servicing A380 or WIP restrictions.
  • A380 aircraft from B stands, except B27, shall push onto the outer TXL J. After disconnecting, push-back tug will hold on TXL J centre line in view of the pushed aircraft until completion of engine start. Once cleared by ATC, the tug will cross TXL U to return to the stand on the north. Pushed aircraft to initiate taxi only after the tug has vacated TXL J. Aircraft taxiing on TXL U to exercise caution due to crossing tugs.

** Crossover Taxiway
(1) Calculated Values: Taxiway lengths are measured along the surveyed taxiway centre lines, including around curves. Where the centrelines split into multiple curves at taxiway intersections, the straight parts of the centre lines may be extrapolated to the point of intersection with adjoining centre lines, and the lengths measured from these points.
Taxiways Restrictions:
  1. All aircraft operating on the movement area of an aerodrome shall display lights intended to attract attention to the aircraft.
  2. Maximum speed of 15 KT applied on TXL J, TXL J1, TXL J2, TXL J3, TXL U, TXL W, TXL Y, TXL Z.
  3. Aircraft are not permitted to carry out 180° turn on a taxiway. In some circumstances, depending on aircraft type, taxiway width and location, Airside Operations may approve such a manoeuvre with the assistance of a marshaller.
  4. Aircraft on TWY M and TWY N are not permitted to taxi behind aircraft holding at any RHP. This is applicable to all aircraft types.
  5. Crew should not take any crossovers unless specifically instructed to by ATC (this applies for arrival and departure traffic).
  6. For arriving traffic, taxiing onto parking stands from outer parallel taxiway is permitted, only when instructed by ATC.
  7. TWY K East of TWY K18 Closed.
  8. TWY V5 Closed.
  9. Flight crew shall follow the taxiway centre line at all times.

Note 1: RWY 30L Take-off from TWY K9 not available.

Note 2: RWY 30R full‐length figures shown are from TWY M15A / TWY N12 entry points. However, due to staggered runway separation procedures the primary RWY 30R entry point is at the TWY M14A / TWY N10 intersection. Departure from TWY M15A / TWY N12 intersection or from the TWY M15 / TWY N11 intersection may be subject to additional delay and must be requested from Clearance Delivery prior to taxi.

Note 3: RWY 30L full‐length figures shown are from TWY K17 / TWY M20 intersection. Aircraft entering RWY 30L from TWY K18 / TWY M21 intersection must taxi forward without delay to the TWY K17 / TWY M20 intersection position before commencing take‐off run.

Note 4: Intersection departures via Rapid Exit Taxiways (RETs) are not permitted.

2.13.1 For the purpose of performance calculations the STD departure points are:
  • RWY 12R – K5.
  • RWY 12L – M1C / N1C.
  • RWY 30R – M13 / N8A.
  • RWY 30L – K15A / M18A.
Crews should base their performance calculations on departure from standard departure points from the notified runway in use if there is no restriction to payload.
ATC may tactically use a different departure point nearer the runway end based on the traffic situation.
If the standard departure point is insufficient, crews must advise ATC of the required departure point on first contact. There may be a delay for these departures based on runway dependency requirements, as priority will be given to STD departure points.
Requests for departures from other than the notified runway in use may not be available. They will be subject to approval from ATC on a case by case basis and may be subject to extensive delays.

    1. ATC will assign a runway exit point upon first contact with DUBAI TOWER.
    2. Pilots are expected to vacate the runway at the assigned exit point.
    3. Pilots must advise ATC if unable to comply for performance reasons.
    4. ATC will assign a runway exit point based on the following:
      1. Aircraft type and performance
      2. Surface wind direction and speed
      3. Runway surface conditions
      4. Runway demand
      5. Application of RRSM (Reduced Runway Separation Minima)
      6. Application of eWTS (Enhanced Wake Turbulence Separation)
      7. Taxiway restrictions

      10. Ground flow and complexity
      11. Any other operational requirements
    5. During dual RWY 30 operations, all arrivals landing RWY 30L shall vacate LEFT unless otherwise instructed.
    6. Pilots shall remain on DUBAI TOWER frequency until instructed to change.
  2. Departures
    • eWTS time based wake turbulence separation will be applied (See OMDB AD 2.22.13.2).
    • On receipt of the line-up clearance, aircraft shall taxi into position expeditiously.
    • If pilots require more separation than the eWTS time-based standard, or extra time for any other reason, advise ATC early PRIOR to entering the runway, NOT when on the runway. When informed, ATC may be able to make changes in the departure sequence, if necessary, to minimise delays to other succeeding departures.
    • Cockpit checks shall be complete prior to line-up.
    • Once ATC issues a take-off clearance, if there is any unreasonable delay in the aircraft commencing the take-off roll, ATC may cancel the take-off clearance and reposition the aircraft in the departure sequence. When cleared for take-off, ATC will expect and will have planned on seeing movement within 8 to 10 seconds of the take-off clearance being issued.

Note: Aircraft that cannot comply with these requirements are to notify ATC as soon as possible.

2.20.5.2 Conditional Line-up Clearance
2.20.5.2.1 On receipt of a line-up clearance pilots shall ensure, complying with safety and standard operating procedures, that they are able to line-up on the runway as soon as the preceding aircraft has commenced take-off roll.
2.20.5.2.2 Pilots in receipt of a conditional line-up clearance on a preceding departing aircraft shall remain behind the subject aircraft but may cross the runway holding point, subject to no illuminated red stop bar and then enter the runway upon receipt of the clearance. There is no requirement for the subject aircraft to have commenced take-off roll before entering the runway. Pilots must be aware that there may be a blast hazard as the aircraft on the runway applies power.
2.20.5.2.3 Pilots in receipt of a conditional clearance shall not cross an illuminated stop bar until it has been deselected by ATC.
2.20.6 Using OMDB (DUBAI / INTERNATIONAL) as alternate aerodrome for diversion flights
2.20.6.1 Dubai International is not available as an alternate aerodrome for Cargo Flights.
2.20.6.2 Non‐emergency diversions by Cargo Flights will be routed to OMDW (DUBAI / AL MAKTOUM INTERNATIONAL).
2.20.6.3 All General Aviation Flights shall be routed to OMDW (DUBAI / AL MAKTOUM INTERNATIONAL) in case of diversion.
2.20.6.4 OMDB (DUBAI / INTERNATIONAL) may only be listed as an alternate for Passenger Flights scheduled to arrive between:
  • 0300 - 0800 UTC
  • 1000 - 1500 UTC
  • 2300 - 0100 UTC
2.20.7 Local VFR regulations
2.20.7.1 Maximum speed on published VFR routes is 125 KIAS.
2.20.7.2 Before entering DUBAI CTR Class D airspace, the pilot in command of a VFR or SVFR aircraft shall establish two-way radio communication with DUBAI TOWER on frequency 126.775 MHz and shall maintain it while in Class D airspace.

Note 1: Radio contact must be initiated far enough from the Class D airspace boundary to preclude entering the Class D airspace before two-way radio communication is established. If the controller responds with instructions to enter the CTR then radio communications have been established and the pilot may enter the Class D airspace.

Note 2: If workload or traffic conditions prevent immediate entry into the Class D airspace, the controller will inform the pilot to remain outside of the CTR until conditions permit entry.

Example “... (Aircraft call sign) remain outside the control zone/controlled airspace...”

2.20.7.3 In initiating two-way communications, the pilot shall advise current position, altitude, intention and any request.
2.20.7.4 Radiotelephony Phraseology: On first contact with Dubai Tower pilots shall use the following RTF Phraseology format:

DUBAI TOWER, CALLSIGN, POSITION, ALTITUDE, ROUTE DESIGNATOR (for initial part of the route), DESTINATION (if within the CTR) / EXIT POINT.

Example: Pilot: “Dubai Tower – A6ABC – Safa Park – VR1 – Nikki Beach”

ATC: “ABC – QNH 1010 – Routing Approved – No reported traffic/Traffic is ...”

2.20.7.5 Except in case of emergency, helicopter landing not allowed on or around Palm Jumeirah without written permission of DCAA.
2.20.7.6 Except in case of emergency, helicopter movements not permitted at OMDB except helicopters landing at Dubai Air Wing (DAW) with DAW approval.

2.22.4.1 ATC clearances issued to traffic departing from OMDB will include a SID. Pilots are required to strictly follow ATC advised SID clearance and ensure correct read back of SID clearance at all times.
2.22.4.2 Departing aircraft shall remain on Tower frequency until instructed otherwise by DUBAI TOWER.
2.22.4.3 Departing IFR aircraft while on a SID or under radar control are required to:
  1. Climb initially to 4,000 FT and expect further climb only when instructed by ATC.
  2. Climb at a minimum gradient of 5.0% to 8,000 FT (300 FT per NM).
  3. Maximum speed of 250 KIAS below 10,000 FT except where specified elsewhere.
  4. Advise ATC at startup if unable to comply with the above, and with any part of the SID requirements and restrictions.
2.22.4.4 Unless explicitly cancelled or amended by ATC, the pilot must follow the vertical and lateral profile of the SID and comply with any published speed restrictions.
2.22.4.5 A level restriction depicted on a SID chart does not authorise a pilot to climb to meet that restriction. ATC will issue climb clearance to permit compliance with vertical navigation restrictions. Pilots must inform ATC if a level restriction cannot be met. Do not climb above ATC cleared level.
2.22.4.6 When conducting a SID, the priority is to meet the vertical navigation restrictions of the SID. When speed restrictions do not enable the aircraft to meet a SID level restriction, the pilot must advise ATC of any speed deviation requirement prior to departure or as soon as the situation is identified. Pilots must advise ATC when able to resume the SID speed restrictions.
2.22.4.7 Operators or pilots should establish procedures to ensure compliance with the SID. The application of a performance margin on the published climb requirements is at the operator’s/pilot’s discretion taking into account the achievable climb performance of the aircraft and the means of monitoring the gradient achieved.
2.22.4.8 Special navigation performance requirements:
  1. Aircraft flying SIDs shall be certified for RNAV 1 with GNSS operations.

Note: See ENR 1.6.1.3 for action in the event of radio failure.

2.22.5 Standard Instrument Arrivals (STAR)
2.22.5.1 ATC clearances issued to traffic arriving to OMDB will include a STAR. Pilots are required to strictly follow ATC advised STAR clearance and ensure correct readback of STAR clearance at all times.
2.22.5.2 Unless explicitly cancelled or amended by ATC, the pilot must follow the vertical and lateral profile of the STAR and comply with any published speed restrictions.
2.22.5.3 The use of a STAR designator without a cleared level does not authorise the pilot to descend on the STAR vertical profile.
2.22.5.4 A level restriction depicted on a STAR chart does not authorise a pilot to descend to meet that restriction. ATC will issue descent clearance to permit compliance with vertical navigation restrictions. Pilots must inform ATC if a level restriction cannot be met. Do not descend below ATC cleared level.
2.22.5.5 Arrivals via DATOB at ATC discretion only.
2.22.5.6 Special navigation performance requirements:
  1. Aircraft flying STARs shall be certified for RNAV 1 with GNSS operations.

Note: See ENR 1.6.1.3 for action in the event of radio failure.

2.22.5.8 STAR Fuel Planning Guidance

For safety reasons and to provide ATC with sequencing flexibility, the downwind segments of the STARs extend beyond what is typically flown by arriving aircraft. The typical flight distances from the STAR commencement point until touchdown by arriving aircraft on a particular STAR may be used as a reference for fuel planning purposes. Actual flying distances vary depending on weather, traffic, and other factors. Depending on the tactical operational situation, any aircraft may be required to fly the full STAR distance. The typical flight distances shown below are for reference only, usage of these distances for fuel planning purposes is strictly at the aircraft operator's discretion and responsibility. The aircraft operator is solely and fully accountable for complying with the relevant fuel planning regulations.

Note 1: (*) STAR usage timings are indicative only and are subject to the tactical operational situation.

Note 2: Primary STARs are normally assigned to arriving aircraft. Alternate STARs may be assigned for tactical reasons at any time.

Note 3: STARs indicated to be at ATC discretion only shall not be flight/fuel planned.

2.22.7 Dubai ATC Speed Restrictions
2.22.7.1 General
2.22.7.1.1 ATC has zero tolerance with regards to the compliance with speed control instructions. Pilots shall adhere to the speed (KIAS) approved or assigned by ATC and shall request ATC approval before making any changes thereto. When an immediate speed adjustment is required for the safe operation of the flight, ATC shall be notified as soon as possible.
2.22.7.1.2 Pilots unable to maintain the last assigned speed during any particular phase of flight, e.g. for aircraft safety or performance reasons, shall inform ATC as soon as possible.
2.22.7.2 Arriving Aircraft
2.22.7.2.1 Flight crews are expected to strictly adhere to STAR speed restrictions unless otherwise approved or instructed by ATC.
2.22.7.2.2 Pilots can expect the following speed control restrictions to be enforced by ATC:
  1. 210 – 250 KIAS: from CTA entry to downwind;
  2. 180 – 230 KIAS: from downwind to base leg;
  3. 160 – 210 KIAS: on base leg and closing heading to final approach;
  4. 160 - 190 KIAS: 10 NM from touchdown;
  5. 160 KIAS: 4 NM from touchdown
2.22.7.2.3 Additional ATC initiated speed restrictions may be imposed on arriving aircraft for traffic management purposes.
2.22.7.2.4 Pilots must advise ATC if a speed adjustment is considered excessive or contrary to aircraft operating specifications.
2.22.7.3 Departing Aircraft
2.22.7.3.1 Flight crews are expected to strictly adhere to SID speed restrictions unless otherwise approved or instructed by ATC.
2.22.7.3.2 Additional ATC initiated speed restrictions may be imposed on departing aircraft for traffic management purposes.
2.22.7.3.3 Pilots must advise ATC if a speed adjustment is considered excessive or contrary to aircraft operating specifications.
2.22.8 VFR routes
2.22.8.1 For VFR routes defined within DUBAI CTA including detailed information regarding the VFR reporting points established on those VFR routes, Refer OMDB AD 2-91 and ENR 6-4.1/6-4.2.
2.22.9 Ground Movement Surveillance - Transponders Operation
2.22.9.1 In addition to the transponder requirements specified in GEN 1.5.4 aircraft are required to switch on transponders when commencing pushback.
2.22.9.2 Aircraft not requiring pushback shall switch on transponders prior to commencing taxiing.
2.22.9.3 Arriving aircraft shall ensure that transponders remain switched on and transmit last assigned code until parked on stand.
2.22.10 APPROACH SEPARATION
2.22.10.1 Visual approach with own separation
2.22.10.1.1 When visual meteorological conditions exist, visual approach may be requested by arrivals on final approach. When requesting a visual approach, the pilot must be able to report the preceding aircraft in sight and accept to maintain own separation from that aircraft.
2.22.10.1.2 ATC may initiate a visual approach, provided that the pilot concurs, has the preceding aircraft in sight and accepts to maintain own separation from that aircraft. Whenever deemed necessary, ATC will issue a caution of possible wake turbulence.
2.22.10.1.3 Pilot request or acceptance of a visual approach means the pilot can maintain visual reference to the terrain and accepts responsibility for establishing a safe landing interval behind preceding aircraft as well as responsibility for wake turbulence avoidance.
2.22.10.1.4 It is pilot’s responsibility to inform ATC if they are operating their aircraft other than in a normal manner.
2.22.11 Domestic Arrivals during peak periods
2.22.11.1 Priority for landing will be given to aircraft already airborne.
2.22.11.2 During peak periods (1900 to 2300 UTC) when aircraft landing OMDB are holding, traffic departing from UAE airports with destination OMDB can expect to be held on the ground whilst awaiting their turn in the traffic sequence.
2.22.11.3 On call for start-up Dubai ATC will assess the aircraft's arrival time at OMDB and calculate it's position in the landing sequence. The local ATC unit will then be advised a departure window during which time the aircraft must be airborne.
2.22.12 Intersection Departures
2.22.12.1 Unless otherwise instructed, Pilots are encouraged to take advantage of intersection departures to minimise runway occupancy time (See OMDB AD 2.13.1)
2.22.12.1.1 Intersection departures may be initiated by ATC, pilots must advise ATC if they are not able to comply with this request.
2.22.12.1.2 Intermediate departures for the purpose of wake vortex. The following are considered by ATC to be the same departure points:
  • Taxiways K1/K2/M4 AND M5B
  • Taxiways K3/K4/K5 AND M7B
  • Taxiways M1/M1A/M1B/N1/N1A AND N1B
  • Taxiways M13/M13A/M14A/N8A/N9 AND N10
  • Taxiways M13A/M14A/M15/N9/N10 AND N11
  • Taxiways M14A/M15/M15A/N10/N11 AND N12
  • Taxiways K15A/K16/K17/K18/M18A/M19/M20 AND M21
2.22.13 Enhanced Wake Turbulence Separation (eWTS)
2.22.13.1 The ICAO unified eWTS minima RECAT system is applied within DUBAI CTA and airspace controlled by Dubai Approach. It distinguishes seven (A to G) Wake Turbulence Groups (WTG) of aircraft based on wake generation and resistance characteristics of the aircraft depending primarily on maximum certificated take-off mass, wing characteristics and speeds.
2.22.13.2 The eWTS system includes distance-based Wake Turbulence Separation minima for aircraft being provided with an ATS surveillance service in the approach and departure phases of flight and time-based separations on departure for the takeoff phase of flight (Refer ICAO Doc 4444 PANS - ATM, Chapters 4,5 and 8).
2.22.13.3 In order to benefit from this reduction of separation minima, pilots are to fully comply with assigned speeds, particularly on final approach, and to minimise runway occupancy time. When crews are unable to maintain any assigned speeds, they must inform ATC as soon as possible (See OMDB AD 2.22.7).
2.22.13.4 The implementation of the ICAO eWTS scheme does not affect pilot procedures, flight management or changes to the format for completion or filling out a flight plan. The WTC designator on the ICAO flight plan does not change. Pilots are to continue to fill in the flight plan WTC in item 9 with the ICAO aircraft category, H, M or L, and J for SUPER HEAVY category.
2.22.13.5 All aircraft operating within the DUBAI CTA must enter the appropriate aircraft type designator, as per ICAO document 8643, in item 9 of their flight plan. The use of incorrect aircraft type designator may result in possible delays due to RDR system flight plan rejection or system allocation of an unknown aircraft type resulting in larger separation application by ATC.
2.22.13.6 For aircraft in the ICAO SUPER or HEAVY WTC, the suffix of ‘SUPER’ or ‘HEAVY’ does not change. On first transmission, the word “SUPER” or “HEAVY” shall still be included, as appropriate, immediately after the aircraft call sign in the initial radiotelephony contact between such aircraft and the ATS units.
2.22.13.7 Peak traffic periods at OMDB involving a high proportion of (Super) Heavy type aircraft often occur at times when local atmospheric conditions (e.g. quartering tailwinds) favour longer lasting wake at low levels. Pilots are therefore to use caution when quartering tailwinds of 5 KT or less exist as possible transient sporadic low level wake turbulence may persist in the runway corridor. Pilots are to be alert to larger aircraft upwind from their approach and take off flight paths. Should unfavourable quartering tailwinds associated with wake encounter reports be prolonged, ATC will consider a runway direction change.
2.22.13.8 TWY V is used for helicopter operations and is parallel to RWY 12R/30L aircraft operations. Pilots are to exercise caution and be prepared to receive traffic information from ATC about departing/arriving helicopters in order to avoid reaction to possible TCAS RA and TA.

OMDB AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

2.23.1 Bird activity
2.23.1.1 Flocks of gulls and most wading species are active in the vicinity of the aerodrome from late October to early March. Maximum numbers are recorded between December and February.

2.23.4.1 Taxiing guidance system at Dubai international airport
2.23.4.1.1 Introduction
2.23.4.1.1.1 The taxiing guidance system at Dubai International Airport consists of stop bars and selectable segments of green taxiway centre line lights. The system guides arriving and departing aircraft between the runways and parking positions by the use of airfield lighting, referred to as ”follow the greens” concept. Cockpit crew will be guided by green taxiway centre line lights in front of the aircraft to provide dedicated, safe and efficient ground movement. The system at OMDB is designed to provide pilots with visual guidance while taxiing during, but not limited to periods of low visibility. It is controlled by tower Air Traffic Controllers using a Taxiway Lighting Control Panel.
2.23.4.1.2 Route Selection
2.23.4.1.2.1 When a taxiing route is selected, corresponding segments of taxiway centre line lights approximately 300 M ahead of the aircraft are switched on automatically and are then extinguished once the aircraft has taxied passed. This is achieved using the aircraft positional information provided through Ground Surveillance System.
2.23.4.1.2.2 All taxiing guidance lights on taxiways leading to the runways terminate at the runway holding positions where, by default, red stop bar lights remain on unless deselected by the Tower controller. When deselected, these stop bar lights will re‐activate automatically back to red once an aircraft or vehicle has crossed.
2.23.4.1.3 Information and mandatory signs/markings
2.23.4.1.3.1 When following the directional guidance provided by the green taxiway centre line lights and red stop bar lights, pilots are advised to also navigate their taxi route with reference to information and mandatory signs/markings provided at the airport so as to maintain positional awareness of their location at all times.
2.23.4.1.3.2 It is not possible to safely locate signs for some IHP stop bars. Surface marking designators are in place and chart OMDB AD 2-26 indicates where IHP with no signs are located.
2.23.4.1.4 Taxi instructions using the green taxiway centre line lights
2.23.4.1.4.1 ATC will use the phraseology “Follow the greens .....” when issuing a clearance to pilots to taxi along the directional guidance provided by the green taxiway centre line lights. The controller may use the expression “follow the greens” in a taxi clearance instead of detailing the route to be followed. The instruction however will always include a clearance limit e.g. “EMIRATES 123 TAXI TO HOLDING POINT M13A RUNWAY 30R FOLLOW THE GREENS”
2.23.4.1.4.2 When instructed to follow the greens by ATC, Flight crew are reminded of the extreme importance of maintaining a careful lookout and are at all times responsible for wing tip clearance. The use of the “follow the greens” concept, in conditions other than when ATC is required to provide separation, does not necessarily provide separation where an aircraft following the clearance passes behind an aircraft holding on an adjoining taxiway or runway entry.
2.23.4.1.4.3 When instructed to follow the greens by ATC, the pilot must not taxi if there are no Green lights ahead.
2.23.4.2 Stand identification / taxiway guide lines / visual docking / parking guidance system
2.23.4.2.1 Nosewheel guide lines on taxiways and aprons.
2.23.4.2.2 Nose-in parking is mandatory. Exemptions only given in special cases with specific authorisation from ATC.
2.23.4.2.3 To maintain a safe wingtip clearance from adjacent parked aircraft it is essential that aircraft do not cut the corner on the stand centre line.
2.23.4.2.4 Parking stands are equipped with Visual Docking Guidance System (VDGS) and hence no wing walkers / marshaller is available on the stand. If VDGS is faulty / not available, marshaling assistance would be arranged on the stand.
2.23.4.2.4.1 A pilot must inform ATC immediately, and not enter the stand if:
  1. Unsure of VDGS information;
  2. VDGS is not activated (missing vertical floating arrows);
  3. VDGS fails (see details of VDGS failure types in section 2.23.4.2.4.5) and
  4. VDGS display different aircraft type.
2.23.4.2.4.2 Upon entering the stand, the pilot must hold position and inform ATC if :
  1. There is a VDGS failure or
  2. The aircraft has not stopped at the designated stop position.
2.23.4.2.4.3 VDGS
  1. The VDGS system is installed for the lead-in line of all stands. It displays to pilots on a large LED Board, azimuth and ‘distance-to-go’ information.

  2. Pilots should follow the lead-in ground marking to initiate the turn from taxilane into the stand. The VDGS unit will be set to capture mode prior to the aircraft arrival. The capture mode will display on LED Board the aircraft type with vertical floating arrows (^) as shown in 2.23.4.2.4.4.

  3. In case, the vertical floating arrows are not displayed, pilot should not enter the stand and report to ATC that VDGS is not activated.

  4. Before turning onto the stand, check if aircraft type displayed in the VDGS is correct.

  5. Once the VDGS captures the aircraft, the display will change to tracking mode showing the relative position of the aircraft (↑) from the lead-in line (T). A flashing red arrow (>) on the board indicates the direction of turn to align the aircraft nose-wheel with the lead-in line of the stand (as shown in 2.23.4.2.4.4).

  6. The VDGS will display the final closing rate information in meters, which is shown 20 M from the STOP position and rows of light gets extinguished from 12 M. The closing rate is also shown graphically by gradual shortening of the (T) symbol. Slow down the aircraft speed to halt at the STOP position (as shown in 2.23.4.2.4.4)

    Note: Pilot must not proceed unless the vertical floating arrows have been superseded by the closing rate bar.

  7. When the aircraft nose-wheel reaches the correct STOP position, distance-to-go reading reaches zero and the ‘STOP’ signal and red lights are displayed on the board to halt the aircraft from any further movement.

  8. The ‘STOP’ will change to an ‘OK’ signal on the Board to indicate the aircraft is correctly parked. If the aircraft has overshot the STOP position, ‘TOO FAR’ signal will be displayed on the Board.

  9. The VDGS should be approached at a maximum speed of 2 KT.

2.23.4.2.4.4 LED Board Display – When VDGS is functioning optimally
ModeDisplayDescription
Not scheduled and not activated
  • If only stand number is shown, it means VDGS is not activated.
  • Aircraft should not enter stand.
Scheduled but not activated
  • The aircraft is allocated to the stand and hence call sign and EIBT with countdown timers appears on the VDGS.
  • However VDGS is not yet activated, as vertical floating arrows are missing.
  • Report to ATC, if VDGS not activated.
  • Wait for the vertical floating arrows to enter the stand.
Capture

  • The vertical floating arrows indicate that the system is activated and is in Capture mode and searching for an approaching aircraft.
  • Pilots shall check that the correct aircraft type is displayed.
  • Pilot must not proceed beyond the boarding bridge unless the vertical floating arrows are superseded by yellow Closing Rate Bar.
Tracking
  • When the aircraft has been caught by the laser, the vertical floating arrows is replaced by the yellow Closing Rate Bar.
  • If a flashing red indicator is displayed, then this is indicating the direction of turn required to be taken to align onto the lead-in line.
Closing Rate (digital)
This is the digital count down from a specific distance to the final stop position.
2.23.4.2.4.5  LED Board Display – Examples of VDGS Failures
Failure TypeDisplayDescription
OVERSHOOT

If the aircraft has overshot the stop-position, 'TOO FAR' will be displayed.
STOP SHORT
If the aircraft is found standing still but has not reached the intended stop position, the message 'STOP, OK' will be shown after a pre- configured time.
AIRCRAFT VERIFICATION FAILURE
During entry into the Stand, the aircraft geometry is being checked. If, for any reason, aircraft verification is not made 12 meters before the stop-position, the display will first show 'WAIT' and make a second verification check. If this fails, 'STOP' and 'ID FAIL' will be displayed.
GATE BLOCKED
If an object is found blocking the approach to gate/apron view from the Safedock to the planned stop position for the aircraft, the docking procedure will be halted with a 'WAIT' and 'GATE BLOCK' message.

Note 1: Pilots must not enter an aircraft stand unless the VDGS is illuminated or a marshaller has signalled clearance to proceed.

Note 2: Pilots must not attempt to self-park if the VDGS is not illuminated or calibrated for their aircraft type.

Note 3: VDGS units used at OMDB will not operate effectively below CAT III conditions (visibility down to 175 M), if VDGS unit is not illuminated or failing to capture aircraft, Pilots must stop and request marshaling assistance from ATC.

2.23.4.2.5 Yellow aircraft stand manoeuvring guidance lights and red position lights for final stop position.
2.23.4.2.6 A Follow-me vehicle will be provided for all non-standard parking.
2.23.4.3 Start-up Approval Procedures
2.23.4.3.1 Aircraft will normally be expected to start-up during push-back. Aircraft wishing to start engines either before or after push-back should notify ATC.
2.23.4.3.2 Aircraft requiring a start on stand, may only start 50% of their total engines on stand. The remaining engine(s) are only to be started once the push-back has been completed, aircraft is on the taxiway centre line and parking brakes applied.
2.23.4.4 Engine Runs
2.23.4.4.1 Engine runs on parking stands are permitted at ground idle only and typically for a maximum duration of five minutes only.
2.23.4.4.2 If engine runs on stands (in idle power) are required for more than five minutes (including for cabin cooling purposes where all engines may be operated), this must be explicitly requested by the Airline Engineering.
2.23.4.4.3 High power engine runs are permitted at predesignated areas.
2.23.4.4.4 Prior approval is required for both idle and high power engine runs. Requests shall be made to Dubai Airports Aerodrome Operations on telephone +971 4 505 4723 at least 30 minutes prior to engine run.
2.23.4.4.5 Engine runs on stand above ground idle is prohibited.
2.23.5 Runway visual range
2.23.5.1 Transmissometers are available for reporting IRVR. For locations Refer Chart OMDB AD 2-21.
2.23.5.2 For radio transmission purposes the locations will be designated as:
ALFA: Touchdown
BRAVO: Mid - point
CHARLIE: Stop end
2.23.5.3 Visibility below 2000 M is reported in the following incremental steps:
  1. 50 M to 400 M: 25 M
    400 M to 800 M: 50 M
    800 M to 2000 M: 100 M

Note: See GEN 3.5.3.5 for reporting procedures

2.23.5.4 For low visibility departures all IRVR for the departure runway shall be serviceable except that the threshold IRVR is not required when reported meteorological visibility is more than 150 M.
2.23.6 Reduced Runway Separation Minima (RRSM)
2.23.6.1 Special landing and departing procedures may be utilized, at Dubai International airport for runways 12L/30R and 12R/30L, subject to the procedures and conditions shown here under.

Note 1: Pilots unable to participate in the procedures due to their airline SOPs must inform ATC as soon as possible so that alternative clearances may be issued (See OMDB AD 2.22.2 Initial Contact Instructions - Airborne Note 2)

Note 2: It is essential that aircrew adhere to OMDB AD 2.20.5 Minimum Runway Occupancy to ensure the efficiency of operations during RRSM.

2.23.6.2 Single Runway Mode Procedure

Subject to the ‘conditions for the application of RRSM’ the following procedure(s) may be applied H24 at DXB

  1. Landing following landing:

    When the runway‐in‐use is temporarily occupied by other traffic, landing clearance may be issued to an arriving aircraft, provided that the controller has reasonable assurance that the following separation distances/criteria will be met when the landing aircraft crosses the runway threshold:

    1. RWY 12L/30R

      The preceding landing aircraft has landed and has vacated the runway; or has passed a point at least 2500 M from the threshold of the runway (abeam TWY N7 and TWY M10A for RWY 12L, abeam the runway exit points for TWY N3A and TWY M3A for RWY 30R); and is in motion and will vacate the runway without stopping and/or backtracking.

      Landing RRSM will only be applied between two successive arrivals provided both aircraft have been instructed to vacate at published Rapid Exit Taxiways (RETs).

    2. RWY 12R/30L

      The preceding landing aircraft has landed and has vacated the runway; or has passed a point at least 2500 M from the threshold of the runway (abeam TWY M17 and TWY K14 for RWY 12R; abeam the runway exit points for TWY M11 and TWY K8 for RWY 30L); and is in motion and will vacate the runway without stopping and/or backtracking.

      Landing RRSM will only be applied between two successive arrivals provided both aircraft have been instructed to vacate at published Rapid Exit Taxiways (RETs).

  2. Landing following departure:

    When the runway‐in‐use is temporarily occupied by other traffic, landing clearance may be issued to an arriving aircraft, provided that the controller has reasonable assurance that the following separation distances/criteria will be met when the landing aircraft crosses the runway threshold:

    1. RWY 12L/30R

      The preceding departing aircraft will be airborne and has passed a point at least 2500 M from the threshold of the runway (abeam TWY N7 and TWY M10A for RWY 12L, abeam the runway exit points for TWY N3A and TWY M3A for RWY 30R) , or if not airborne, will be at least 2500 M from the threshold of the runway.

    2. RWY 12R/30L

      The preceding departing aircraft will be airborne and has passed a point at least 2500 M from the threshold of the runway (abeam TWY M17 and TWY K14 for RWY 12R; abeam the runway exit points for TWY M11 and TWY K8 for RWY 30L) , or if not airborne, will be at least 2500 M from the threshold of the runway.

      Note: Crew of flights should be aware of the possibility of a go-around when no landing clearance has been received approaching 2 NM from the threshold, with another aircraft lined up or departing.

  3. Departure following departure:

    Take‐off clearance may be issued to a departing aircraft, commencing its take‐off roll from full length*, before the preceding departure has passed the upwind end of the runway; provided:

    1. RWY 12L/30R

      The preceding aircraft is airborne, and has passed a point at least 2500 M from the threshold of the runway (abeam TWY N7 and TWY M10A for RWY 12L, abeam the RWY exit points for TWY N3A and TWY M3A for RWY 30R) and minimum separation continues to exist, constant or increasing, between the two departing aircraft immediately after take‐off of the second aircraft.

    2. RWY 12R/30L

      The preceding aircraft is airborne, and has passed a point at least 2500 M from the threshold of the runway (abeam TWY M17 and TWY K14 for RWY 12R; abeam the runway exit points for TWY M11 and TWY K8 for RWY 30L) and minimum separation continues to exist, constant or increasing, between the two departing aircraft immediately after take-off of the second aircraft.

      Note: Exception‐ Due to displaced thresholds, the succeeding departure may commence its take‐off roll subject to the same provisos above when departing off

      1. RWY 12R from M4 to M7B or K1 to K4;
      2. RWY 30L from K17, K18 to M20, M21.
      3. RWY12L from M1 to M1B or N1 to N1B;
      4. RWY 30R from M15 to M15A or N11 to N12
2.23.6.3 Dual Dependent Runway Mode Procedure (Both Directions):

The procedures described above for single runway operations for "landing following landing", and "departure following departure" shall be applied in the same manner on respective runways during dual runway operations.

The exception for Dual Runway Operations is when the runway mode becomes Dependent in VMC (i.e. when aircraft are departing from the full length 12R from K1, K2, M4, M5B; or from the full length 30R from M15, M15A, N11, N12), Therefore the difference from Single Runway Operations, is in the scenario of "landing following departure". In RWY 12 direction, a preceding departing aircraft off RWY 12R must have passed abeam TWY M10B and TWY K7, prior to the landing aircraft crossing the threshold of RWY 12L. In RWY 30 direction, a preceding departing aircraft off RWY 30R must have passed abeam TWY M10A and TWY N7, prior to the landing aircraft crossing the threshold of RWY 30L.

2.23.6.3.1 Conditions for the Application of RRSM:

RRSM may be applied H24 between:

  1. a departing aircraft and a succeeding landing aircraft using a single runway; or
  2. two successive landing aircraft; or
  3. two successive departing aircraft.

Note: RRSM H24 procedures shall apply to Category 1 and 2 aircraft types as if they were Category 3 aircraft types.

Provided:

  1. The tail wind component does not exceed 5 knots, measured at the landing threshold, and there are no pilot reports of wind shear.
  2. Met visibility shall be equal to or greater than 5 KM and the cloud ceiling shall not be lower than 1000 FT and the Air Traffic Controller is satisfied that the pilot of the following aircraft will be able to observe the relevant traffic clearly and continuously.
  3. The pilot of the following aircraft is warned i.e. Traffic information shall be provided to the flight crew of the succeeding aircraft concerned.
  4. The runway is dry and there is no evidence that the braking action may be adversely affected
  5. The controller is able to assess separation visually or by radar derived information. The surveillance system that provides the controller with position information shall be utilised in combination with visual means and shall be usable at all times.
  6. The runway incursion monitoring and collision avoidance system (RIMCAS) shall be utilised and serviceable at all times.
  7. Suitable landmarks and markers on the surface surveillance system shall be available to assist the controller in assessing the distances between aircraft.
  8. Wake turbulence separation minima shall be applied.
  9. Minimum separation continues to exist between two departing aircraft immediately after take-off of the second aircraft.
  10. In order to ensure that the preceding aircraft vacates the runway in a timely manner, the pilot shall be advised of the exit at which to plan to vacate.
2.23.6.4 Traffic Information Phraseology for pilot of following aircraft

When applying RRSM in a scenario where the runway is temporarily occupied by a previously landed or departing aircraft, ATC shall provide a warning (traffic information) to the following aircraft when issuing the landing clearance or departure clearance.

The following examples illustrate ICAO standard phraseology that will be used:

  1. Landing Clearance Phraseology
    1. "(Call sign), (traffic Information) (wind) (runway) cleared to land".
    2. "(Call sign), (type) departing ahead (wind) (runway) cleared to land"
  2. Departing Clearance Phraseology
    1. "(Call sign), (type) departing ahead (wind) (runway) cleared for take-off"

Note: When necessary or desirable in order to expedite traffic, a landing aircraft may be requested to expedite vacating the runway. When there is a requirement to expedite departing traffic, a clearance for immediate take-off may be issued to an aircraft before it enters the runway.

2.23.7 ILS Glide Path Fluctuations for Arriving Aircraft
2.23.7.1 Caution ILS Glide Path possible signal fluctuations during CAT I conditions for arriving aircraft on RWY 12R/30L and 12L/30R due to taxiing and departing aircraft. Pilots should anticipate possible Glide Path interference and monitor ILS profile, flight display indications and autopilot behaviour during manual or coupled ILS Approaches.
2.23.8 Wind Shear Warnings
2.23.8.1 General

Wind shear reports added to a METAR will be as per ICAO Annex 3, Appendix 3, Table A3‐2.

2.23.8.2 Wind shear reports passed by ATC
  1. On receipt of any report of wind shear, ATC will:
    • Immediately relay the report to other aircraft potentially affected;
    • Pass the full report to the MET Office; and
    • Pass the information to other ATC units that may be affected.
  2. Wind shear reports that are relayed by ATC to other aircraft will contain as many of the following details as possible:
    • Aircraft type that reported the wind shear;
    • Description of event (e.g. light/moderate/severe, or positive/negative);
    • Height/altitude wind shear encountered;
    • Phase of flight;
    • Runway;
    • Time of encounter;
    • MET/operational information as received from the reporting pilot.
  3. Examples of the phraseology used by ATC to pass on wind shear reports:
    1. “CAUTION WIND SHEAR. AT (TIME) (AIRCRAFT TYPE) REPORTED STRONG WIND AT (HEIGHT/ALTITUDE) FEET ON APPROACH RWY (DESIGNATOR).MAX THRUST REQUIRED.
    2. "CAUTION WIND SHEAR. AT (TIME) (AIRCRAFT TYPE) REPORTED AFTER DEPARTING RUNWAY (DESIGNATOR) AT (HEIGHT/ALTITUDE) FEET AIRSPEED LOSS OF(NUMBER) KNOTS, STRONG (LEFT/RIGHT) DRIFT"
2.23.8.3 Wind shear warnings on ATIS
  1. Wind shear warning issued by NCM or received from an aircraft will be broadcast on both the departure and arrival ATIS.
  2. Regardless of any relevant information being broadcast on the ATIS, during final approach and prior to take‐off,ATC will transmit to aircraft without delay:
    • The latest information, on wind shear in the approach, final approach, take off and climb out area; and
    • Any significant variations in the current surface wind, expressed in terms of minimum and maximum values.
2.23.8.4 Pilot reports of wind shear
  1. For the benefit of subsequent aircraft and for validation and further enhancement of the low‐level wind shear warning, pilots are requested to inform ATC if they experience any wind shear on arrival or departure, irrespective of whether a warning has been given.ATC will pass such reports to following aircraft and the MET Office. Pilot reports should conform to the requirements of ICAO Annex 3, Appendix 4, section 4.1.
  2. ATC will continue to transmit information on wind shear until it is confirmed, either by three (3) consecutive subsequent aircraft reports or by advice from the MET Office that conditions are no longer a hazard to the operations.
2.23.8.5 Low Level Wind Shear

Caution, transient and sporadic low level wind shear is possible between 1800 to 0300 UTC on the approach and climb out due to land and sea breeze interaction resulting in possible airspeed loss/gain of 10 KT or more.

2.23.8.6 1000 FT and Below Winds

If a wind shear warning has been issued, aircraft may be requested by ATC to state the 1000 FT and below winds when able. ATC will then subsequently pass this information onto following aircraft whilst the wind shear warning is in force.

2.23.9 Aircraft Push-back/Towing
2.23.9.1 Push-back ATC instruction, stop positions and aircraft separation expectation for simultaneous push-back
2.23.9.1.1 At DUBAI / INTERNATIONAL, push-back types and associated aircraft stop positions have been defined to ensure safe, consistent and efficient push-back process, also taking into consideration jet blast separation required for simultaneous aircraft push-back.
  1. Push-back ATC instruction and Associated Stop Positions
    1. Standard push: Push abeam adjacent stand or up to one stand distance
      • Example of ATC phraseology : "Push-back approved, face (direction)." No reference to "STANDARD" or a stop position will be included in ATC clearance. Ground crew will know where to stop.
    2. Short push: Push and pull abeam the departure stand
      • Example of ATC phraseology: "Short push-back approved, face (direction)." No reference to stop position will be included in ATC clearance. Ground crew will know where to stop.
      • Note that the Short push is in fact a push and pull on the taxiway and does not involve the traditional "S" like or dog-leg manoeuvre which is initiated inside the stand before entering the taxiway. The "S" like manoeuvre inside the stand is prohibited at DUBAI / INTERNATIONAL due to safety reasons.
    3. Long push: Push up to two stand distance
      • Example of ATC phraseology: "Long push approved, face (direction)." No reference to stop position will be included in ATC clearance. Ground crew will know where to stop.
    4. Push and Pull: Push and pull abeam the stand in front
      • Example of ATC phraseology: "Push-back and pull forward approved, face (direction)." No reference to stop position will be included in ATC clearance. Ground crew will know where to stop.
  2. Deviations to the above where applicable due to location of the stand (corner/end of apron or concourse etc.), presence of fixed obstacles etc., have been published in Dubai Airports’ Airside Operating Regulation (AOR) issued to the airport stakeholders (including aircraft line maintenance companies).
  3. Ground crew (Headset man and Push-back Operator) must be familiar with the push-back definitions, associated stop positions and deviations.
  4. ATC will not specify the stop position for push-back manoeuvres that are already defined as per (a) and (b). Ground crew is required to be aware of the stop positions associated with a push-back definition/manoeuvre and complete the push to that stop position [all relevant information in this regard has been published in the AOR which is accessible to airport stakeholders including push-back and line maintenance companies]. This reduces clutter on VHF radio and associated confusion, and improves overall efficiency with radio communication and push-back process.
  5. As an exception, ATC may issue a push-back instruction that is not defined as per (a) or (b) in which case ATC will specify the stop position ensuring that the push-back tractor will be able to vacate safely to a stand or GSE road without having to cross live taxiways. This option gives ATC flexibility to optimize instructions to suit specific traffic flow situations.
  6. In cul-de-sacs or in vicinity of obstacles, push-back from stands nearest to the obstacle will involve a push and pull forward manoeuvre. Additional ground markings have been provided where required to guide the Push-back Operator. The pull forward limits (ground marking references such as stand lead-in line) have been defined for each cul-de-sac to allow ATC to simultaneously clear other aircraft outside of this point where required. Aircraft must not be pulled forward beyond the specified limit points without first notifying ATC. Ground crew is required to be aware of these limits.
  7. Where a pull forward manoeuvre is involved, consider starting aircraft engines only after completing the pull forward manoeuvre to minimize forward stress on the push-back tractor during the pull (Refer IATA Ground Operations Manual recommendation).
  8. Simultaneous push of multiple aircraft in close vicinity

    For simultaneous push from adjacent stands OR alternate stands with one stand in between,

    1. ATC will alert the crew of all involved aircraft about the simultaneous push
    2. ATC will provide a combination of different push-back instructions (Standard, Long etc) such that there is a separation of about two (2) stands between the aircraft in the final stop positions on the taxiway. This is the separation to be maintained to mitigate jet blast hazards from forward aircraft on the ground crew of rear aircraft.
    3. Ground crew is responsible to ensure safe physical separation between aircraft during the push with overall accountability resting on Headset man since he/she will have a better visuals/perspectives of the pushing aircraft.
    4. Upon completion of push-back, Headset man of the forward aircraft MUST disconnect the headset / wave off to the pilot only after ensuring that the ground crew of the rear aircraft is clear of the jet blast zone of the forward aircraft. Note that the risk of jet blast is more if the forward aircraft is of a larger size than the aircraft in the rear.
  9. If ground crew are not clear on any of the ATC instructions / stop positions or unsure of how to execute a push-back manoeuvre, push-back MUST be suspended and clarification sought from ATC before continuing the push. If Airside Operations (AO) assistance is required in the form of Follow-me, wing walker etc. to safely complete a push-back, ground crew must request ATC for AO attendance and complete the push only under AO guidance.
2.23.9.2 Push-back Approval Procedures
2.23.9.2.1 Push-backs are onto active taxiways:
  1. "DUBAI DELIVERY" is responsible for issuing an airways/route clearance.
  2. Approval to start on stand does not imply an approval to push-back.
  3. "DUBAI GROUND" is responsible for issuing start and push-back approval, along with the taxi clearance.

Note: Push-back approval can only be obtained from DUBAI GROUND.

2.23.9.2.2 If no push-back is required due to aircraft facing nose out, this must be notified to "DUBAI DELIVERY" on first contact.
2.23.9.2.3 DNATA, Jet Aviation and certain operating companies with own trained drivers are the only approved agencies for executing push-backs. Their procedures are mandatory. However, it is the pilot's responsibility to obtain push-back approval from ATC and relay the same to their ground engineer prior to commencing push-back.
2.23.9.2.4 Push-back approval includes instructions to face North, East, South or West as appropriate.
2.23.9.3 “HOLD SHORT” instruction expectation is when ATC issues instruction to “hold short of stand” to accommodate incoming traffic, the aircraft must stop its nose landing gear on the centreline of the adjacent stand, thus ensuring adequate clearance between the aircraft and the designated stand.
2.23.10 Modes of Runway Operation
2.23.10.1 The parallel runways at Dubai International Airport are spaced 385 M apart and staggered in compliance with CAR Part IX, 8.3.8 and ICAO SARPS published in Annex 14 Volume 1- Aerodromes.
The runway spacing restrict operations to Segregated Operations on Parallel Runways (Mode 4) as defined in ICAO Document 9643 - Manual on Simultaneous Operations on Parallel or Near-Parallel Instrument Runways (SOIR).
2.23.10.2 Normal operations at Dubai International will be conducted as segregated runway operations with simultaneous arrivals and departures from closely spaced parallel runways.
Simultaneous operations will be restricted to the following weather conditions:
  1. Cloud base is 1500 FT or above
  2. Visibility is 5 KM or greater
2.23.10.3 Available approaches during dual runway operations when visibility is 3000 M or greater is as follows:
  1. Runway 12 in use:
    • RWY 12L ILS (RNP)
    • RWY 12R RNP (VISUAL) *ILS switched OFF
  2. Runway 30 in use:
    • RWY 30L ILS (RNP)
    • RWY 30R RNP (ILS) (VISUAL)

Approaches to non‐standard arrival runways (RWY 12R or RWY 30R) will be either an RNP or a Visual Approach on request with ATC. ILS RWY 30R will be issued at ATC discretion during times when arrival traffic is offloaded to RWY 30R.

During single runway operations or when the visibility reduces below 3000 M, an ILS approach will be available onto the arrival runway in use.

2.23.10.4 In order to facilitate simultaneous operations departing aircraft may be issued with departure instructions in accordance with Omni Directional Departure Chart OMDB AD 2-48. Departing aircraft shall not change frequency until advised.
2.23.10.5 Pilots shall be aware of the proximity of arriving and departing traffic particularly in the event of a missed approach or baulked landing situation.
2.23.10.6 Both arriving and departing aircraft may be issued with instructions to turn on to a heading away from the adjacent runway at any time in order to ensure separation from conflicting aircraft. Turns have been evaluated for obstacle clearance from 800 FT for all runways. For departing traffic, this turn may initially take an aircraft away from its planned departure track. Aircraft should expedite climb and comply with ATC instructions without delay.
2.23.10.7 Pilots requiring full length for departure for RWY 12R or RWY 30R shall advise ATC of the required departure point on first contact and can expect delays at peak times due to runway dependencies.
2.23.10.8 Practice autolands may be conducted in CAT I conditions when low visibility procedures are not in effect. In these cases, no safeguarding measures will be in force. Subject to Operator requirements, it is not necessary to inform ATC when carrying out a practice autoland. The Operator and Flight Crew are considered solely responsible for these practice autolands and must recognize that changes in the ILS signal may occur without warning.
2.23.11 Reduced Engine/Single Engine Taxi
2.23.11.1 Reduced Engine/Single-engine for up to Code-C aircraft Taxi-in/out allowed except on Apron QUEBEC.
2.23.11.2 If runway crossing is required, crew are expected to be able to expedite the crossing.
2.23.11.3 Pilots must consider the additional thrust required for manoeuvring and the potential for asymmetrical thrust, special attention must be given to ensuring adequate braking capability and maintaining control during turns and while taxiing in adverse weather conditions.
