OMAD - ABU DHABI / AL BATEEN EXECUTIVE – UPDATED INFORMATION ON TAXIWAY T AND APRONS DUE TO ONGOING REHABILITATION
INTRODUCTION
This Supplement replaces AIP SUP 61/2024, AIP SUP 53/2025 and incorporates NOTAM A4099/25 and A0261/26.
This Supplement provides updated information on taxiway T and aprons due to the ongoing rehabilitation exercise at the aerodrome.
DESCRIPTION
This Supplement provides updated information on:
- Taxiway T
- Closed Apron D and Apron E
- Apron C with a revised data, layout and operation procedures
- Charts
1. Taxiway T
Additional markings added on TWY T due to the establishment of eVTOL (electrical Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft TLOF. Refer to Aerodrome chart of this supplement.
2. Closed Apron D and Apron E
Apron D and Apron E closed.
3. Apron C with a revised data, layout and operation procedures
3.1 APRONS, TAXIWAYS AND CHECK LOCATIONS/POSITIONS DATA
| 1 | Apron surface and strength | APRON C: Concrete PCR 835/R/A/W/T |
| 2 | Taxiway width, surface strength | TXL C3: 23 M, Concrete PCR 835/R/A/W/T
TXL C4: 23 M, Concrete PCR 835/R/A/W/T
TWY T: 23 M, Asphalt PCR 380/F/A/X/U, Concrete PCR 835/R/A/W/T |
| 3 | Altimeter checkpoint location and elevation | APRON C: ELEV 13 FT at PSN 242545.42N 0542708.10E |
| 4 | VOR checkpoints | NIL |
| 5 | INS checkpoints | Note: See OMAD Aircraft parking and docking chart of this Supplement |
| 6 | Remarks | The canopy covering part of Apron C adjacent to the VVIP terminal has no impact on aircraft operating on stands 1A, 1C and 1D. |
3.2 SURFACE MOVEMENT GUIDANCE AND CONTROL SYSTEM AND MARKINGS
| 1 | Use of aircraft stand ID signs, TWY guide lines and visual docking/parking guidance system of aircraft stands | ACFT stand ID signs: NIL
Ground markings in black colour on a yellow background are provided.
Visual docking/parking guidance system of aircraft stands: NIL
Aircraft parking is provided through marshaller service.
TXL: yellow CL; white line crossing TXL C4 CL indicates a Tug Release Point (TRP)
Lead-in line: continuous solid or broken yellow line |
| 2 | Remarks | Pilots must ensure use of the correct centre line when arriving on stands 1A, 1C and 1D. |
3.3 APRON LIGHTS
Flood lights.
3.4 APRON C OPERATION PROCEDURES
3.4.1 Arriving aircraft procedures:
- Aircraft shall taxi to the apron using TXL C4;
- Aircraft operating into aircraft stands 1A, 1C and 1D are restricted to clockwise operations;
- Nose-in parking is mandatory for all aircraft stands.
3.4.2 Departing aircraft procedures:
- Aircraft from aircraft stands 1A, 1C and 1D shall follow the lead-out lines to enter TXL C3;
- For aircrafts parked in sequence (tail to nose) on stands 1A, 1C and 1D, the preceding aircraft shall not use its engine power to taxi out of the aircraft stand but would be towed to line-up onto TXL C3 at a designated point where it can start its engines;
- Aircraft parked on stand 2 and stand 3 shall be pushed back to face north, then towed to reach the Tug Release Point (TRP).
3.4.3 Restrictions:
- Aircraft operating on Apron C shall use minimum engine power only.
- When Code E aircraft is operating on Apron C other aircraft are not permitted on the apron.
- When Code D aircraft with length more than 60 M is parked on aircraft stand 1C, no other aircraft can be parked on any of the other 1 series aircraft stands.
- When aircraft stands in 1A and/or 1D are in use, aircraft stands in 1C shall not be available for aircraft operations and vice versa.
3.4.4 eVTOL aircraft operations:
For more information refer to AIP SUP 01/2026 Introduction to eVTOL aircraft operations.
