ED Decision 2016/027/R

(a) Holding bay(s) or other bypasses of sufficient size and adequate construction should be provided where necessary, to make deviations in the departure sequence possible.

(b) A runway-holding position or positions should be established:

(2) on the taxiway, at the intersection of a taxiway and a runway; and

(3) at an intersection of a runway with another runway when the former runway is part of a standard taxi-route.
