Runway operations

Timisoara Airport has one runway 11/29. During low traffic flow operation, the preferred configuration is RWY 11 DEP and RWY 29 ARR.

The runway is selected according to the mean direction of the wind. However, due to operational reasons, the opposite direction can be used up to a wind difference of at most 12 knots.

Stand assignments

• Stands 01-07 and 09-14 are push-back only.
• Stand 08 is taxi-out stand.
• Stands 02-03 are used by aircraft with length < 35 m
• Stand 08 is used by aircraft with wing span greater than 36m, such as Airbus A310 or Boeing 767.
• Stands 09-14 are considered isolated stands.
• Stands 01-03 are mainly used by domestic flights (ROT, HYS, RYR)
• Stands 04-06 are mainly used by international flights (DLH, AUA, WZZ)
• Cargo planes shall be parked at Stand 07 or 08 (if wing span > 36 m) or 09-10
• Stands 13-14 might be used by domestic flights, if Stands 01-03 are occupied.
• TWY A, TWY B and TWY L are designated holding areas for arriving aircraft if no parking positions are available on the apron.

LVP

• LVP operations shall be activated when RVR is less than 550 m (horizontal visibility less than 800 m) or ceiling is below 200 ft.
• No aircraft will be holding on TWY B or C during ILS approaches on RWY 11.
• When an aircraft performing an instrument approach is at less than 4 NM on final and until landing of that aircraft, taxi clearance on the maneuvering area of other aircraft shall not be given.
• Aircraft movements on the apron must be carried out with the direction of a “FOLLOW ME” car

Traffic regulation

• VFR circuits shall be cleared to execute traffic pattern at the NE of the airport, due to high density population in the SW of the airport.
• VFR traffic might be allowed to climb in TMA ARAD, only with a pre-coordinated TWR-APP approval.
• In general, traffic pattern is executed at 1000 ft AGL (by QFE) or 1400 ft AMSL (by QNH).
• On request, TWR shall be able to issue clearances on reported QFE pressure.
