NATS Data has been updated but it doesn't show the new stands.
Some of the changes I have noticed (there may be more) are;
- RFFS Categories have been amended from 8 (9 by arrangement) to A8 (A9 by arrangement).
- Taxiway Quebec has reduced in width from 36M to 18M.
- Assorted changes to arrival and departure procedures.
- Stand 208 and 209 centrelines have been revised (north cargo apron).
CAP168 specifies RFFS categories but doesn't mention what the A prefix means. Can anyone clarify please?
I can't see any changes to stands 1-6 even though there has been a re-layout so that will presumably be the subject of a future update.
The PCN of taxiways Lima (31/F/C/X/T) and Mike (37/F/A/W/T) are still the same and remain therefore an impediment to regular use of the SE apron for higher ACN ops. A lot of work took place on these taxiways last year so I'm surprised that the PCNs have not been increased. Is there a technical problem with these pavements or is it a case that they need time to bed down before the PCNs are re-assessed?
