Performance and schedule planning
Operators should use the current runway declaration, NOTAMs, weather and aircraft performance data for every IXE movement. Mangaluru’s coastal monsoon conditions and airport environment can affect operational planning, so alternates, fuel margins and schedule flexibility should be reviewed by the operator and flight crew.
Parking, permits and ground equipment
Provide the aircraft registration, type, dimensions, maximum take-off weight, routing, ground time and requested services. Confirm any PPR, slot, parking acceptance or operating restriction applicable to the schedule. Tow-bar compatibility, ground power, passenger steps, baggage support and overnight parking should be reconfirmed before departure.
