AviPLAN Airside Pro 2024 Help
ICAO Annex 14 Volume 1 Ninth Edition, July 2022, Amendment 17 provides minimum clearance requirements between the wing and fixed objects for each airplane code letter. Separation offsets for i.e. fuselage, nose or tail clearances are not provided. Default airplane clearance box distances in AviPLAN Airside Pro 2024 for nose, fuselage, and tail clearances are therefore based on recommended ICAO apron wing clearance offsets.
Paragraph 3.13.6 states "when special circumstances so warrant, these clearances may be reduced at a nose-in aircraft stand, where the code letter is D, E or F." These values can be altered in the Drawing Settings tab of the Drawing Manager and Session Manager dialog boxes (for all work performed with AviPLAN Airside Pro 2024) or in the Properties column of the Session Manager dialog box (for the current and other sessions in the drawing). An understanding of the assumptions and limitations of the applicable regulations is recommended prior to entering clearance values that differ from ICAO default values.
For bridge docking calculations, the default allowable maximum slope of the bridge is set at 10% (1:10) as per ICAO's Document 9184 - Airport Planning Manual Part 1. Master Planning – Chapter 9. Passenger Building, 9.8 - Passenger Connection with Aircraft
EASA CS-ADR-DSN Issue 6 (March 2022) provides minimum clearance requirements between the wing and fixed objects for each airplane code letter. Separation offsets for i.e. fuselage, nose or tail clearances are not provided. Default airplane clearance box distances in AviPLAN Airside Pro 2024 for nose, fuselage, and tail clearances are therefore based on recommended EASA apron wing clearance offsets.
Chapter E.365(c) states "the minimum clearance distance for code letters D, E and F can be reduced" under certain circumstances. These values can be altered in the Drawing Settings tab of the Drawing Manager and Session Manager dialog boxes (for all work performed with AviPLAN Airside Pro 2024) or in the properties column of the Session Manager dialog box (for the current and other sessions in the drawing). An understanding of the assumptions and limitations of the applicable regulations is recommended prior to entering clearance values that differ from EASA default values.
For bridge docking calculations, the default allowable maximum slope of the bridge is set at 10% (1:10) as per ICAO's Document 9184 - Airport Planning Manual Part 1. Master Planning – Chapter 9. Passenger Building, 9.8 - Passenger Connection with Aircraft.
FAA AC 150/5300-13B (March 2022) provides minimum parking position clearance requirements between the wing and fixed objects for each airplane design group. Separation offsets for i.e. fuselage, nose or tail clearances are not provided. Default airplane clearance box distances in AviPLAN Airside Pro 2024 for nose, fuselage, and tail clearances are therefore based on recommended FAA parking position wing clearance offsets.
Paragraph 5.6.2.2 states, "An acceptable level of safety may be achievable with reduced clearance values if controls are in place that minimize the risk of conflict between aircraft and objects (e.g., gate operations rules, GSE management plan, training, etc.)". These values can be altered in the Drawing Settings tab of the Drawing Manager and Session Manager dialog boxes (for all work performed with AviPLAN Airside Pro 2024) or in the properties column of the Session Manager dialog box (for the current and other sessions in the drawing). An understanding of the assumptions and limitations of the applicable regulations is recommended prior to entering clearance values that differ from FAA default values.
For bridge docking calculations, the default allowable maximum slope of the bridge is set at 8.3% (1:12) as per FAA AC 150/5220-21C and the ADA Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities.
