AN225 / Category 10

Category 10 in this context refers to RFFS cover, specifically for the A380. Cargo aircraft require much lower (or sometimes none at all) RFF Category.
The issues arround the AN225 are more to do with the neccessary disruption caused to operations which arises from the cumbersome transit of this huge aircraft between runway(s) and suitable parking stands. MAN is not ideally laid out in this respect, with many taxilanes bordered by stands which have to be cleared of aircraft for a 225 to pass by. EMA is better suited for this aircraft, with a long parallel taxiway and separate accesses to individual aprons.
