From the NCL pages of the UK AIP:
Stands 1 to 12 inclusive around the pier and 13 to 23 are marked in nose-in/push-back configuration, excluding certain large wide bodied aircraft which will be marshalled into
positition within an area comprising of stands 16-18 or 19-23. Stand 22 has additional centrelines
designated 22L and 22R. Parking on these stands is under marshaller’s instructions.
No stands are marked for self-manoeuvring operations, and availability of self-manoeuvring
stands will be at the discretion of Airside Operations and will require a vacant stand on both
sides of the aircraft wishing to self-manoeuvre, aircraft will be marshalled off stand. If the
adjacent stands are occupied aircraft MUST push-back. All nose-in stands are marked with
a yellow centre-line and stopbar for self-positioning onto stand. Aircraft alignment is achieved
when the stop bar is visible over the left shoulder of the pilot in the left hand seat. All stand
boxes that do not have parallel sides, ie Stands 6-9, 13, 16 and parallel sided stands 2 and 4
are marked with a stop short stopbar and is to be used as advised by ATC. Stands 3 and 10
served by APIS linked to Airbridge operations. Stands 4 and 7 also served by APIS to provide
Stand Entry Guidance, if not available then markings guidance provided as per above,
marshalling assistance available on request.
Supplementary parking positions 30 and 31: Stand 30 is a parking position diagonally across
Stand 9 for B747 or A330-300 aircraft, and Stand 31 is a parking position diagonally across
Stand 1 for B737-700 or A319 aircraft. Both are accessible with marshalling assistance. ATC
will give directions if required.
Supplementary parking positions 32L/32R: Stands 32L/32R are located west of Stand 13 and
are available for 2 Jetstream aircraft under marshalling guidance. ATC will give directions if
