1: KHARTOUM AIRPORT
Khartoum International Airport (IATA: KRT, ICAO: HSSS) is the principal airport
in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan.
Khartoum airport is situated in the heart of the capital and serving as the country's main gateway
to world. The current facility will be replaced with a new airport 40 kilometers south of the
center of Khartoum. This is planned to have two 4000 meter runways, a passenger terminal of
86,000 square metres.

The airport is (equipped) with:
• a 3-degree precision approach path indicator (PAPI)
• CAT 1 approach and runway lighting system for RJW 18 (approach
lights unserviceable)
• CAT 2 for RJW 36.
Firefighting and rescue facilities are CAT 9.
Apron layout
Layouts of taxiways
There is no enough clearance between large aircraft taxing on the taxi lane
and the large parked aircraft on S3-1.
Major factors: -
Insufficient wingtip clearance between apron taxiway and S3-1.
Non-standard construction of aircraft stands.
Non distribution of information regarding liability of wing-tip clearance
to all concerned.
Limited and narrow width of apron 3.
The airport has no parallel taxiway to the runway, and a taxi lane located at the eastern side of
the apron serves as the link with the taxiways. Aircraft entering or leaving the apron utilize the
taxi.
The apron is approximately 104 metres wide from west to east, and the eastern part of it forms a
taxi lane parallel to the runway. Aircraft are parked on the western edge, angled nose-in, to
accommodate more aircraft at a time. There are no parking stop markings. The
yellow lines near the western edge delineate the access roadway for ground vehicles.
The KRT airport taxi/one is 23 metres wide, and meets the ICAD Annex 14 specification for
design of taxiways. The ICAD Annex 14 recommends that the design of the taxiway should be in
a way that when the cockpit of an airplane for which the taxiway was intend remained on the
taxiway centerline, the distance between the outer main gear and the edge of the taxiway should
not be less than 4.5 metres. The taxi lane design at KRT meets the criteria for accommodating
aircraft based at the distance between the outer main gear and the edge of the taxiway. No
provision was mode for ensuring the aircraft on taxi maintaining the centerline were clear of
obstacle that were the apron side of the taxi.
A scaled aircraft was overlaid on a Google Earth to simulate aircraft taxi and the available
clearance. The simulation concluded that it was not possible to ensure safe passage of an A332
aircraft behind a parked A345.
It also concluded that safe passage of on A332 aircraft behind another A332 aircraft was only
possible if the aircraft operating on the taxi lane had the nose wheel either on the taxi/ane
centerline or slightly to the right of the center/line.
Apron Environment
Apron Environment
The apron was too narrow to accommodate a number of wide body aircraft. As a result, the
airport
had adopted on angled parking system, which in most cases allowed aircraft to arrive and deport
without the aid of a tug. As a result of a previous incident involving an aircraft which had
with on apron lamp post, the airport had approved that A345 aircraft use conventional nose-in
parking. The apron Marshallese usually parked the A345 aircraft on stand 3-1. When this stand
was utilized, taxiway A was normally not usable by other wide body aircraft. Whilst this
arrangement had been in place for a considerable time and had resulted in no accident, it was not
documented in any manual or ATC standing instructions. It was evident that the use of the
taxi lane in the A345 aircraft and A332 aircraft combination had not been fully evaluated with
modern simulation tools. In addition, it could be argued thot the markings on the taxi lane were
unnecessary, when applied to wide body aircraft, as they did not appear to serve any purpose to
ensure aircraft separation.
The general layout of the apron at KRT was not desirable for handling wide body aircraft.
Furthermore, the ramp activities and general vehicular and aircraft movement around a parked
aircraft were of concern. The aprons were poorly lit.
This deficiency could be addressed by either extending the apron to the east, as an interim
solution. The Sudan CAA and the airport authority had reported that the airport was to be
relocated to a new
location. No definite timeline was provided.
NOTE:
It is all mention in the supporting document about apron and taxi way that layouts is not
desirable and marking on taxiway is necessary.
