SO Landing Logic
This page describes the SO flowchart for inbound aircraft and how each path leads to the final handling state.
High-level sequence
Section titled “High-level sequence”- Aircraft starts at TE+TW FINAL.
- Progresses to TE+TW RWY ARR.
- Progresses to TE+TW TWY ARR.
- Parking context and stand-type combinations then decide whether the strip remains unconcerned, moves to stand handling, or joins apron-arrival handling.
Decision logic by branch
Section titled “Decision logic by branch”1) From TE+TW TWY ARR to initial combinations
Section titled “1) From TE+TW TWY ARR to initial combinations”The flow branches by parking location and stand context:
- Parked on CARGO leads to GE.
- Parked on APRON (22R/04L/12 for LDG) leads to GW.
- Parked on APRON (22L for LDG, 12 feed) leads to AA.
- Parked on APRON (22L/04R/30 for LDG, TWY 8 feed) also leads to AA.
These outcomes create two working groups:
- GE + GW (cargo/apron mixed non-AA path)
- AA (apron-arrival path)
2) GE + GW path
Section titled “2) GE + GW path”GE and GW merge into GE+GW TWY ARR, then split again by current parking:
- If Parked on CARGO:
- Move to GE+GW STAND.
- Also mark as UNCONCERNED for APRON (left branch in the chart).
- If Parked on APRON:
- Re-classify to AA and then join the apron-arrival stream.
3) AA / apron-arrival path
Section titled “3) AA / apron-arrival path”All AA-origin and AA-converted traffic converges to:
- APRON ARR / AA+AD TWY ARR
- then to APRON ARR / AA+AD STAND (final state)
Practical interpretation
Section titled “Practical interpretation”- Cargo-side GE/GW traffic can end in a dedicated stand state and be treated as not relevant for apron concern.
- Any APRON-routed traffic (direct AA or GE/GW converted to AA) is funneled into the APRON ARR / AA+AD sequence until stand.
