Primary conditions of application a) The A380 requirements discussed and agreed by the AACG and listed in this document apply only to the Airbus A380 Family as defined in Appendix 2. The wingspan of the A380 aircraft should be less than 80m and the outer main wheel span should be less than 14.4m.
Primary conditions of application. The operational guidelines discussed and agreed by the BACG2 and listed in this document only apply to the 777-8/9 aircraft as defined in Attachment B. The guidelines were developed in accordance with the principle and methodology outlined in ICAO PANS Aerodromes, Document 9981, Second Edition, 2016, Attachment B to Chapters 3, SAFETY ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGIES FOR AERODROMES and 4 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF AERODROMES. These guidelines are intended to permit the 777-8/-9 to operate at aerodromes without adversely affecting safety or significantly affecting the regularity of operations. However, it is strongly recommended to provide facilities meeting Annex 14 requirements, in full, on all relevant parts of the movement area whenever new construction or major redevelopment is undertaken. When planning such construction or redevelopment, it may be prudent to consider the requirements of aeroplanes larger than the 777-8/-9 types or even future aeroplane types needing facilities in excess of Code F. The BACG2 guidelines have been developed to be generically applicable to airports to perform safety assessment studies for the introduction of 777-8/-9 operations at airport facilities. However, it may be permissible to operate with lower separation margins if a safety assessment study taking into account local conditions indicates that such lower margins would not adversely affect the safety or significantly affect the regularity of operations of the 777-8/-9. The recommendations in this document assume that the 777-8/9 will be the largest aircraft using the airport and all other Code Letter E aircraft. The recommendations may not be applicable for other Code Letter F aircraft for which a separate Safety Assessment Study will be needed. Application of the different level of aerodrome infrastructure recommendations for 777-8/-9 operations compared to Code Letter F requirements is subject to: • For taxiway separations items (See §3.5), where reduced margins exist compared to Code Letter F recommendations, proper guidance such as centre line lights or equivalent guidance (e.g. marshaller, etc.) to be provided for night, or low visibility operations. The ICAO Baseline refers to Annex 14, Volume 1 up to and including amendment 14. The ICAO Air Navigation Commission (ANC) Council has adopted the amendment 14 at the sixth meeting of its 213th Session on 9 March 2018. The proposal to amend several aerodrome design and operations parameters was transmitted to States and in...
