GURUPRASAD MOHAPATRA CHAIRMAN AIRPORTS AUTHORITY OF INDIA [EFFECTIVE DATE: 16 AUG 2018] STANDARD AIRPORT TAXI ROUTES (SATR) INDIRA GANDHI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT NEW DELHI (VIDP) 1. Introduction: Standard Airport Taxi Routes are being designed to enhance ground control operations by using standard taxi instructions for both arriving and departing traffic. SATR is recommended as one of the Air Traffic Control best practices, in The manual on the prevention of Runway Incursions, (DOC 9870Appendix-C). Indira Gandhi International Airport has a vast and complex apron layout. A single taxi instruction comprising of a number of taxiways may lead to read back errors, occurrence and correction of which increases R/T congestion and affects ground control operations. Purpose: The purpose of Standard Airport Taxi Routes (SATR) is to use standard taxi routes instead of long and ambiguous taxi instructions. SATR provides continuous taxi instructions including smooth transitioning of frequency from one surface movement controller to another. This alleviates R/T congestion and will thus allow controller to have better surveillance of the traffic in peak traffic times. The implementation of SATR will lead to reduction in workload of both ATCOs and Pilots. Airports Authority of India AIP Supplement 59/2018 Page 1 of 20
2. Concept: 2.1. A single SATR comprises of a number of taxiways which together form complete taxi instructions to a departure/arrival. 2.2. SATR have been designed for south of RWY28/10 only. 2.3. SATR comprises of taxiways outside the Apron. 2.4. ARRIVAL SATR: The arrival route starts after the exit taxiway of Runway and terminates at the last terminal for which the route is defined. The arrival follows the SATR until it joins the exit apron lane for its parking bay. The exit apron lane will be advised by the ATC as per the designated parking stand. 2.5. DEPARTURE SATR: The departure route starts from the beginning of the terminal for which the route is defined and terminates at the designated holding point of the specific Runway. The departure will join the route via the apron lane as advised by the ATC. 2.6. Departures/Arrivals will join/leave SATR via Apron lanes as instructed. 3. Nomenclature: Route [NN] [A/D] [2/3] NN: Two-digit Runway Designator A/D: Arrival/Departure 2/3: Terminal2 (Cargo apron, 41-49,81-92)/Terminal3 (Apron 31,32,33A,33B,34,35) In case of Departure [2/3] denotes the terminal from which the route starts. In case of Arrival [2/3] denotes the terminal at which the route terminates. E.g. Route29D2: Departure route for RWY29 starting from T2. Route29A3: Arrival route of RWY29 terminating at T3. Exception: Route29A is a connecting Route. Airports Authority of India AIP Supplement 59/2018 Page 2 of 20
4. SATR A total of 13 SATR are designed: SATR NAME ROUTE DETAILS Route28A2 P-N-S-R3 Route28A3 P-N-S-CW1-(crossingW2 contact ground 121.625 MHz and hold short of W1)- CW1-T Route28D3 Y-CW2-(crossingW1 contact ground 121.9 MHz and hold short of W2)-CW2-S- R3-R-L2-P-W Route29A Z-S4-T-Hold short of CW2 Route29A2 CW2-(crossing W1 contact ground 121.9 MHz and hold short of W2)-CW2-S-R3 Route29A3 CW2-T Route29D2 R3-S-CW1-(crossingW2 contact ground 121.625 MHz and hold short of W1)- CW1-T-Z2 Route10A3 P-L1-R3-S-CW1-(crossing W2 contact ground 121.625 MHz and hold short of W1)-CW1-T Route10D2 R3-S-N Route10D3 Y- CW2-(crossingW1 contact ground 121.9 MHz and hold short of W2)-CW2-N Route11A2 S2-Y-CW2-(crossingW1 contact ground 121.9 MHz and hold short of W2)-CW2- S-R3 Route11D2 R3-S-CW1-(crossingW2 contact ground 121.625 MHz and hold short of W1)- CW1-Y-S5 Route11D3 Y-S5 Airports Authority of India AIP Supplement 59/2018 Page 3 of 20
5. Operating Principle: 5.1. SATR shall be used to describe taxi routes and/or frequency information. 5.2. All runway/taxiway hold short/crossing instructions shall be transmitted in addition to SATR instructions as and when required. 5.3. All aircraft shall have positive clearance before crossing/entering a runway. 5.4. Change of holding point for a departure (in case of request or traffic requirement), other than that issued in SATR shall be made well in time and additional instructions should be given for the same. 5.5. ATCOs may use a combination of SATR along with progressive taxi instructions on a tactical basis to maintain an efficient flow of surface movements. 5.6. In case of traffic or closure of a taxiway or a portion thereof, the controller has the flexibility to cancel the use of SATR at any time and use progressive taxi instructions. 5.7. If for any reason, aircraft crew is unable to comply or understand the SATR instructions; timely request should be made for progressive taxi instructions. 5.8. In case ATCO cancels SATR for any aircraft, R/T instruction Revised Taxi Instructions should be used. 5.9. An aircraft may be advised to join a SATR via an intermediate taxiway. Such instruction will be given by defining the taxiway as a prefix to SATR. Example: Taxi via CW1- Route29D2 means Taxi via CW1-(crossing W2 contact ground 121.625 MHz and hold short of W1)-T-Z2. 6. Phraseology: 6.1. For Departures (Aircraft Call sign) Delhi Ground: Taxi to holding point Runway [Designator] via [taxiway joining respective parking bay to SATR] [SATR] Time [time] e.g. AIC (XYZ) Delhi Ground: Taxi to holding point RWY28 via T3 Route28D3 Time 0200Z. 6.2. For Arrivals (Aircraft Call sign) Delhi Ground: Taxi to bay [number] via [SATR] exit [taxiway joining respective SATR to parking bay] e.g. AIC (XYZ) Delhi Ground: Taxi to bay 102 via Route29A2 exit R.
