Section 1 - Introduction

1. PREFACE BY LICENSEE

The Manchester Airport Aerodrome Manual clearly and concisely describes the systematic
approach to the operation of the aerodrome, demonstrating our commitment to managing
the aerodrome safely and effectively.

Whilst accountability starts at the top of any organisation it is essential that all individuals
understand their own responsibilities and accountabilities as defined within the manual.

The Aerodrome Manual is distributed to all Manchester Airport departments that have a role
in the safe operation of the aerodrome. It is also distributed widely to our Airline Operators
and Service Partners with Instructions and guidance to MA policy and procedures on the
airfield.

Andrew Cowan
Chief Operating Officer, Manchester Airport

2. PURPOSE OF THE AERODROME MANUAL & SAFETY MANAGEMENT MANUAL

The Aerodrome Manual contains details of the characteristics, policies, operational
procedures for the safe operation of Manchester Airport in accordance with the Air
Navigation Order and the Aerodrome Licence.

Article 211, Schedule 12 of the Air Navigation Order 2010 (ANO) governs the grant of
Aerodrome licences by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).

Published in conjunction with the Aerodrome Manual is the Safety Management Manual
(SMM). The SMM sets out details of the safety accountabilities of key people and the policies
and methodology for managing aviation safety risks.

3. AERODROME MANUAL STRUCTURE

CAP168, Chapter 2 identifies the required content of the Aerodrome Manual. A large part of
the CAP168 requirement is provided in this document, but to avoid duplication of
information, where other MA documents provide the required information, then this manual
will merely cross-refer to such other documents. These are listed in Bibliography, at
paragraph 8.

Part 1 of the Aerodrome Manual contains:
 Details of the key post holders for managing safety
 Information about the physical characteristics of the airfield

Part 2 of the Aerodrome Manual contains:
 Airside Standing Instructions

These are more detailed explanations of the procedures used and facilities available.

Part 3 of the Aerodrome Manual contains:
 The Emergency Orders
