Stands 401, 402, 403, 404, 405 self maneuvering, all other stands require pushback.

¶ Taxiways & TaxiRoutings
- Z shall be used carefully to prevent issues with wingspan due to traffic taxiing on T.
- Departing traffic from RWY12 may be offered intersection B departure instead of full length, for a shorter line-up time.
- Traffic code D, E, F can only enter/leave the apron via taxiways TS, TV, TU, TP and TK.
Taxiways F and G are runway exits only.
When giving taxi clearances, avoid communicating the apron taxiway, rather only use the apron exit gate. Example below.

¶ Low Visibility Procedures
LVPs are activated when RVR falls below 550m or ceiling falls below 200’ according to the latest METAR, or in case of explicit pilot’s request even if RVR or ceiling are within limits.
LVPs in progress will be communicated to pilots on the ATIS and on the radio frequency by Bologna APP for arrivals or Bologna GND for departures.
During LVPs operations are only allowed on RWY 12, which is approved for CAT II/III and LVTO operations.
