After landing on RWY 29, to prevent RWY surface damage, aircraft with design code C (maximum A321) that can stop at TWY C shall exit the RWY via TWY C; otherwise, they must use the continuous guidance mark at the end of RWY 29 to execute a 180-degree turn and align with the RWY centreline and exit the RWY via TWY C.
Aircraft with design codes A and B may execute a 180-degree turn on the runway, in accordance with air traffic control instructions.
All aircraft with design codes D that are not able to make a safe 180-degree turn on a 45m width runway are strictly prohibited to land RWY 29 due to no TURN PAD and no exit TWY at the end of RWY 29.
NOTICE: The continuous guidance marking at the end of RWY 29 is not designed for aircraft with design code D. In case of landing RWY 29, all aircraft with design code D must make 180 turn at the end of RWY 29 and exit the RWY via TWY A.
1.1.2 DEPARTURE
The standard outbound taxi route for take-off is via TWY A to RWY 29.
NOTICE: Alternate taxi route only under ATC instruction.
Aircraft design code up to C using RWY 11 for take-off must use a marking for continuous guidance at the THR 11 to complete a 180-degree turn and align with the RWY center line.
NOTICE: Aircraft design code D, which can make a safe 180-degree turn on a 45 m RWY width, must use TWY A to enter the RWY and proceed taxi to the end of RWY 29 to make 180 turn. The continuous guidance marking at the end of RWY 29 is not designed for aircraft with design code D. In case of take-off RWY 11, all aircraft with design code D must make 180 turn at the end of RWY 29 and align with the RWY center line.
1.1.3 DE-ICING
Service provider: Sarajevo International Airport. De-icing is available during the winter season from 01.11 until 30.4.

3. GENERAL REGULATIONS FOR AIR TRAFFIC HANDLING ON THE APRONS
All rotary-wing aircraft will be treated as fixed wing operations and will be instructed to land and take-off on a runway. Helicopter unable to ground taxi will be escorted by Follow me car whilst in the hover.
3.1 USE OF APRON
Use of the apron, the assignment of parking positions, as well as towing of ACFT are subject of the Airport Operator. Taxiing and towing of ACFT are subject to permission by the Air Traffic Control (BHANSA JPAKL).
Ground Movement Control on the main apron is provided by Air Traffic Control - BHANSA JPAKL on behalf of Sarajevo International Airport. Pilots shall check for the respective frequency on ATIS. If ATIS is not available, "SARAJEVO GROUND" shall be contacted on FREQ 121.900MHZ. If there is no response, contact " SARAJEVO TOWER" on FREQ 118.250 MHZ.
Parking of ACFT on the assigned positions is performed either by VDGS (for parking positions 6, 7 and 8), or by signals from the marshaller for the rest of the parking positions.
When an apron is used by larger than ICAO design code "C" aircraft, appropriate restrictions and limitations are provided by the Airport Operator. See LQSA AD 2.24.02-1 TAXIING AND PARKING RESTRICTIONS AND NOTES.
ACFT design code “D” and “E” must use TWA “A” for entering the apron or taxi to take-off.
ACFT are permitted to taxi on the apron only at the indispensable minimum engine speed. As a rule, when taxiing (especially in turns), it shall be ensured that the engine power of engines in operation is as synchronous as possible.
When taxiing into ACFT stands, ACFT shall generally not stop in curves between the centrelines of apron taxiways or ACFT stand taxi lanes, and the centrelines of ACFT stands, so to avoid the further appliance of break-away power.
On the whole of the apron, taxiing by ACFT that do not proceed to a take-off and/or follow a landing may be conducted only with the aid of ACFT tractors and not with power output.
Before push-back or entering the apron, the red anti-collision lights (beacon) of an ACFT shall be switched on. If one anti-collision light (beacon) on the ACFT is inoperative, the pilot shall inform Ground Movement Control and, additionally, switch on the white wing-tip strobe lights in accordance with EASA Appendix 1 to GM1 MMEL.145, ATA 33 LIGHTS
3.2 TAXIING OF ACFT ON THE MAIN APRON
When taxiing, ACFT shall maintain permanent radio contact with Air Traffic Control - BHANSA JPAKL "SARAJEVO GROUND" or “SARAJEVO TOWER”. Any requested changes of frequency shall be made immediately.
Follow me car is employed to guide the taxiing ACFT, the pilot shall observe its signals. Pilots may also request a follow-me car for guidance to take-off during LVTO.
ACFT may taxi on the apron only on and along the taxi guide lines. Deviations and/or shortcuts are not permitted. In exceptional cases, taxiing manoeuvres aside of the guidelines are only possible under the supervision of a marshaller and/or Follow-me cars.
3.2.1 JET BLAST PROTECTION
Pilots are to use the minimum power necessary when manoeuvring on the taxiway system. This is of particular importance when manoeuvring in the apron, where jet blast can affect adjacent stands and service roads.
3.3 PROCEDURES FOR DEPARTING ACFT
Permission for push back or taxiing from a position may only be requested if the pilot can perform the manoeuvre immediately or if the push-back tractor is connected.
Pilots shall state their parking position number and call sign.
ATC departure clearance is available at start-up, see chapter 3.3.4.
3.3.1 PUSH BACK PROCEDURE
ACFT parked in a "Nose-in" position (see LQSA AD 2.24.02-1 - Aircraft parking/docking chart ICAO) may leave the parking position in push-back procedure only (exceptions may be applied in special situations under the supervision of a marshaller and wing walkers).
Pilots are instructed to obtain start-up and push-back clearance on the respective frequency of Sarajevo Ground.
Notice: PIC of GA aircraft must have marshaller in sight before requesting start-up.
In case of jet blast impact on adjacent aircraft parking stands, pilots will be advised to start engines when aligned with the apron TWY by ground crew via intercom.
When using standard push back procedures nose of the ACFT from PSN 1 - 11 is facing easterly (south-east).
Pilots may receive instructions for a non-standard push-back direction from the controller if using RWY 11 for take-off.
After completion of the push-back, "ready to taxi" shall be reported to the respective frequency of Sarajevo Ground.
3.3.2 PROCEDURE FOR DEPARTING AIRCRAFT PARKED OTHER THAN NOSE-IN PARKING POSITIONS
Pilots are instructed to obtain start-up clearance and taxi instructions on the respective frequency of Sarajevo Ground. Parking stands G1-G5 and 10A are self-maneuvering parking stands. See LQSA AD 2.24.02 – 1 TAXIING AND PARKING RESTRICTIONS AND NOTES.
3.3.3 USAGE OF INCREASED ENGINE POWER FOR THE STARTING-UP PROCEDURE (CROSS-BLEED START)
The procedure for ACFT intending to increase the engine power for starting up another engine (cross-bleed start) shall be in two (2) stages:
- I. Stage - Obtain permission from Sarajevo Ground for the first engine start with the aircraft power unit (APU) and ground power unit (GPU) on the parking stand
- II. Stage - Obtain permission from the Ground Crew to start all other engines after the push back procedure is completed.
3.3.4 DEPARTURE PROCEDURES
ATC clearance will be delivered from Sarajevo Ground. Pilots shall request ATC clearance on stand at request for start-up and/or push-back clearance.
Example: SARAJEVO GROUND, “call sign”, stand “number”, Information “letter”, request clearance, and start up, or request clearance, start-up and push-back.
3.4 PROCEDURES FOR ARRIVING AIRCRAFT
The traffic dispatcher assigns the ACFT parking stand on the apron. Pilots may be informed about the assigned parking position by Sarajevo Tower on request.
Arriving ACFT are assisted in taxiing on the main apron to the assigned parking position by a “Follow-me car”.
Each parking position has an individual number and a yellow centre-line.
3.4.1 PARKING POSITIONS
ACFT are guided with marshalling assistance. Parking stands 6,7, and 8 are equipped with VDGS.
3.5 NON-MARKED PARKING AREAS AND SPECIAL-PURPOSE PARKING POSITIONS
Non-marked parking areas may also be assigned for parking only in special situations with restrictions.
3.6 HELICOPTER OPERATIONS
All rotary-wing aircraft will be treated as fixed-wing operations and will be instructed to land and take-off on a runway. The helicopter, unable to ground taxi, will be escorted by a Follow-me car whilst in the hover.
Notice: In accordance with the traffic situation and ATC instructions, some helicopters may be permitted to use taxiways for landing and departure.
3.7 HIGH VISIBILITY JACKETS
All persons walking on the airport movement area (incl. flight crew during aircraft walk-around/outside check) shall wear a high visibility jacket.
