Arrival - Gate
Revision: 08 Sep 2021

Caution: Concourse A west, gates A15 through A26 are equipped with Aircraft Docking System (ADS). After initialization, a guide person will provide guidance up to the aircraft stopping point, including an emergency stop function to back up the ADS. Wing walkers will provide initial wing tip clearance. The guidance system does not ensure the gate area is clear of obstructions, and parking is prohibited if ground equipment is observed within the painted obstacle-free areas per the Clean Ramp Policy. Refer to FOM> Parking> General> Clean Ramp Policy for more information.

Special Procedures

Parking

  • Caution: Be aware of jet blast at adjacent gates.
  • Caution: Turns into gate C22 are more than 90° and require overshooting turn.
  • Caution: Gates C23 and C25: If guideperson is not in position, stop perpendicular to the gate and do not turn in.
  • Caution: Due to the location of gate identifier signs, it is possible to miss the lead-in lines on gates B7, B9, C27, and C29. Approach these gates slowly and if an overshoot occurs, stop the aircraft and contact ramp control for instructions.
  • Parking in alleyways. Remain on centerline when taxiing into alleyways. Maintain sufficient momentum when turning in and parking using minimum thrust.
  • Gates B7, B9, and C29 Identifier Signs. Ensure you are lined up on the correct lead-in line.
    • B7 identifier sign is in line with the lead-in line, on top corner of the building.
    • B9 identifier sign is in line with the lead-in line on the side of the B7 jet bridge.
    • C29 identifier sign is in line with the lead-in line on top of the C27 jet bridge.
