3 Appendix 1 Hourly Runway Scheduling Limits S17 Declaration Start of UTC Hour hr (05-19) Total Limit Arrival Limit Departure Limit Arr-Dep Flex: hr (05-21) Changes against S16 Start of UTC Hour hr (05-19) 17hr (05-21) Total Limit 0 0 Arrival Limit Departure Limit There are no changes to the declared totals. The arrival and departure subconstraints have been adjusted to give the best match to demand while ensuring that the arrivals limit does not exceed 28 in the busiest hours.

4 Appendix 2 Additional Runway Constraints 1. The 15 minute constraints are offset against the clock hour starting at 5 minute to the hour minute limits set so as to provide flex within hourly totals of 2-3 ATMs. This helps to smooth the demand within the hour so as to maximise throughput and reduce runway holding. The maximum number which can be scheduled in 15 minutes is 14. In hours where 55 ATMs are scheduled this allows a flex of only 1 on totals. 3. In hours of reduced demand, 15 minute limits reduced to spread demand across the hour reduces peaking and safeguards future growth minute limits are fixed at 4 arrivals and 5 departures which represents the maximum throughput of each theoretically achievable.

6 Appendix 3 Stand Capacity Limit ACL will apply their stand occupancy calculator to assess spare capacity against stand provision. This will be applied to overall provision (pier served and remote) by stand size and to pier served provision by Terminal and stand size. The model will be calibrated against operational stand plans and limits set on spare capacity such that when the limit is breached, the slot will be referred to GAL airfield operations for approval. This will ensure that stand capacity is not exceeded and will replace the movement based limit which has been in force in previous years to balance the demand between the two terminals now that easyjet is to be consolidated into North Terminal. Parking Position Availability South Terminal Code C - 38 Code C equivalent Code E - 16 Code E parking positions North Terminal Code C - 41 Code C equivalent parking position Code E - 17 Code E parking positions Code F - 1 Code F parking position Remote Parking : Code C - 63 Code C equivalent parking positions Code F - 2 Code F parking positions Note that the code C equivalent includes full use of MCA (Multi Centreline Apron) capability. The number of MCA positions available at any one time will depend on how many are blocked by widebody aircraft on stand.
