1. Introduction
1.1 BACG Terms of Reference
The BACG is an informal group consisting of Aviation Authorities, Airport, and Industryrepresentatives. It is formed to agree and promote a common position among the group members,
with respect to operation of the 747-8 at existing airports that currently do not meet ICAO CodeLetter F specifications.
Recognizing that the ideal for 747-8 operations would be to provide a level of aerodromeinfrastructure at least equal to the generic ICAO specifications, the BACG should, in particular:
- Agree and promote that any deviation from these ICAO specifications should be supportedby appropriate aeronautical studies and relevant risk analysis.
- Report its work and findings to ICAO through the appropriate channels so that the latter mayuse such data for the development of future provisions
- Seek to influence the application of the agreed specifications for the operation of the 747-8aircraft within national regulatory frameworks
-Co-operate with other international organizations and working groups dealing with NLAoperations
- Enable the work of the BACG to be disseminated globally
1.2 Purpose of the document
The purpose of BACG common agreement document is to develop 747-8 operational guidancematerial that include,
- Items of aerodrome infrastructure that may be affected by the introduction of the Boeing747-8 aircraft
- ICAO Recommended Practices relating to those items, and- For any areas of non-compliance, to show appropriate mitigation, if required, proposed by
the BACG to ensure the safe operation of the 747-8 aircraft at aerodromes currently unableto meet ICAO Code Letter F aerodrome Standards and Recommendations.
Operational guidelines developed for the 747-8 are recommendations proposed by an informalgroup. It is stressed that the authority to approve any deviation from ICAO Annex 14 specificationsshall rest solely with the state having jurisdiction over the aerodrome.
No provision contained herein shall be construed so as to have a binding effect on any suchAuthority with respect to the approval of any such deviation.
1.3 Primary conditions of application
The operational guidelines discussed and agreed by the BACG and listed in this document onlyapply to the 747-8 aircraft as defined in Attachment B. The guidelines were developed inaccordance with the principle and methodology outlined in ICAO Circular 305, Operation of NewLarger Aeroplanes at Existing Aerodromes (June 2004).

Common Agreement Document Boeing 747-8 4
These guidelines are intended to permit the 747-8 to operate at existing aerodromes withoutadversely affecting safety or significantly affecting the regularity of operations. However, it isstrongly recommended to provide facilities meeting Annex 14 requirements, in full, on all relevantparts of the movement area whenever new construction or major redevelopment is undertaken.When planning such construction or redevelopment, it may be prudent to consider the requirements
of aeroplanes larger than the 747-8 types or even future aeroplane types needing facilities inexcess of Code F.
The BACG guidelines have been developed to be generically applicable to airports to perform
aeronautical studies for the introduction of 747-8 operations at existing airport facilities. However, itmay be permissible to operate with lower separation margins than agreed in this document if anaeronautical study taking into account local conditions indicates that such lower margins would notadversely affect the safety or significantly affect the regularity of operations of the 747-8.
The recommendations in this document assume that the 747-8 will be the largest aircraft using theairport. The recommendations may not be applicable for other Code Letter F aircraft for which aseparate Aeronautical Study will be needed.
Application of the different level of aerodrome infrastructure recommendations for 747-8 operationscompared to Code Letter F requirements is subject to:
For runway width and runway separations items (See 3.2 & 3.4), the 747-8 aircraft beingapproved for the use of Code Letter E runways (minimum width 45m) for each type of operation.
For taxiway separations items (See 3.5), where reduced margins exist compared to CodeLetter F recommendations, proper guidance such as centre line lights or equivalent guidance(e.g. marshaller, etc.) to be provided for night, or low visibility operations.
The ICAO Baseline refers to Annex 14, Volume 1 up to and including amendment 9, dated 15 th ofJune 2006.

2. Methodology Overview
The methodology used by BACG follows the basic scope of risk assessment process described inICAO Circular 305, Operations of New Larger Aeroplanes at Existing Aerodromes (June 2004).
This circular provides guidance on conducting aeronautical studies in the following steps:- Baseline identification of relevant ICAO SARPS and rationale/justification
-Hazard identification and analysis
- Risk assessment and possible mitigation measures- Conclusion
This circular provides guidance that allows aerodromes that do not meet the relevant Annex 14,Volume I, Code Letter F criteria to accommodate a specific NLA, such as the 747-8.
This circular was used as the primary reference source for safety analysis in accommodating the747-8 as outlined in the Section 3, Airfield Items Review, and in developing the Safety Analysis ofAirfield Items in Attachment A of this document.

3.2 Runways
Item Runway width Width of Runway shoulder
ICAOS
ARPsandADM
The width of a rwy should be not less than 45m where thecode letter is E, 60m where the code letter is F.[RP] A14 P3.1.10
Strength of rwys: A rwy should be capable of withstanding
the traffic of aeroplanes the rwy is intended to serve.[RP] A14 P3.1.21
The rwy shoulders should extend symmetrically on eachside of the rwy so that overall width of rwy and itsshoulders is not less than 60m where the code letter is Eand 75m where the code letter is F.[RP] A14 P3.2.3
Strength of rwy shoulders:- A rwy shoulder should be prepared or constructed so
as to be capable, in the event of an aeroplane runningoff the rwy, of supporting the aeroplane withoutinducing structural damage to the aeroplane and ofsupporting ground vehicles which may operate on theshoulder.[RP] A14 P3.2.5
- A rwy shoulder should be prepared or constructed soas to minimize any hazard to an aeroplane running offthe rwy.
ADM Pt1 P5.2.3- In some cases, the bearing strength of the natural
ground may be sufficient, without special preparation,
to meet the requirements for shoulders.ADM Pt1 P5.2.4
- When designing shoulders, prevention of the ingestionof stones or other objects by turbine engines should bean important consideration.
ADM Pt1 P5.2.5- In case of special preparation, visual contrast between
rwy and rwy shoulders may be needed.ADM Pt1 P5.2.6
ICAO
Rationale
Planning to Accommodate Future Aircraft Development,discusses increasing the rwy width to 60m for NLA due to20m main gear wheel span and other (undefined)factors
ADM Pt1 P6
- No specific justification material available on rwyshoulder width.
BACGA
greement
A minimum central 45m of pavement of full load bearingstrength shall be provided.(equal to Code Letter E runway)
- Compliance with the minimum 60m ICAO Code LetterE runway + shoulders width
- Minimum of 2x7.5m wide shoulders on existing 45mwide rwys
Depending on local conditions, decision on thecomposition and thickness of rwy shoulders to be taken byeach national authority and/or airport operator.
If relevant to local conditions, snow removal and icecontrol as recommended by ICAO (Doc 9137-AN/898)
JustificationMaterial
- Planned FAA operational approval on 45m wide runway.- Outer main gear wheel span of 12.7m is similar to the
747-400 (12.6m) and well within the Code Letter E limitof 14m.
- Numerous design changes from the 747-400 to improvelateral handling qualities during takeoff or rejectedtakeoff.
- Otherwise, design commonality with the 747-400.- Flight deck features that improve situation awareness.- ICAO Circ. 301 - NLA balked landing study shows
maximum lateral deviation (7.6m) is similar betweenlanding at sea level vs. 6500 ft (1981m) altitude (higherapproach speed) in autoland.
- Aborted takeoff max lateral deviation requirement forcertification of 30 ft (9.1m) applies to all aircraft size.
- Same outer engine span as other 747 models.- 56 km/h exhaust wake velocity contour width of 58.5m
at takeoff thrust for 747-8 (with planned GE engines)and 56.1m for 747-400ER, both are within 60m CodeLetter E shoulder width.

- No specific justification materialavailable on taxiway shoulder width
-60m was agreed at ICAO ADSG/1based on 56km/h breakawayvelocity contour width for the NLA(747-600X) with outer engine spanof 54m.
BACG
Agreement
- Minimum taxiway width of 23meters (equal to Code Letter Erequirements)
- Wheel-to-edge minimum clearanceof 4.5m for Code Letter E and Faircraft
Wheel-to-edge minimum clearance of4.5m for Code Letter E and F aircraft
- On straight portions, Code Letter Ecompliant: 44m wide strip to beprotected against shoulder erosionand engine ingestion (paved ornatural surface)
Depending on local conditions,
decision on the width for curvedportions, composition and thicknessfor straight and curved portions byeach national authority and/or airportoperator.
JustificationMaterial
- Outer wheel span of 12.7m resultsin outer tire edge to pavement edge(for 23m twy) compliant with theICAO requirement of 4.5mclearance.
- Various taxiway deviation studiesconducted to date show that 4.5mclearance is adequate for safetaxiing.
No specific justification needed (referto Airplane Characteristics for AirportPlanning for 747-8)
- 747-8 outer engine span (41.7m) issame as other 747 models.
- 747-8 breakaway exhaust velocitycontour width of 46.9m at 56 kph(35 mph) is same as the 747-400ER.*
- Height of outer engine center ofthrust above ground is slightlyhigher than 747-400ER.
*Note: Breakaway thrust is
momentary since the pilot will reducepower as soon as a/c starts to roll,well before reaching the contour sizeshown.

Collision risk:For instrument runways:- ICAO Code Letter E separation of
182.5m.- Lower separation could be
envisaged on the basis of a safetyassessment,
For non-instrument runways:
-Minimum separation is 75m + halfwingspan
ILS effects:Need for specific runway studies toevaluate ILS interference risks in allcases (no difference in 747-8 and747-400 vertical tail size).
Code Letter E OFZ width of 120mbased on ICAO OCP work.
Collision risk:- For take off and non-precision

JustificationMaterial
Collision risk:- Declining trend of 747 runway
veeroff frequency over the years- Wingspan being 68.4m, Code Letter
E design separation is degraded byonly 1.7m increase in half-wingspan(182.5m 184.2m)
- Separation based on OFZ is(60+[3x19.6]) = 118.8m
- Separation based on taxiing 747-8clear of precision rwy graded strip is
(105+34.2) = 139.2m
Note: assumes 747-8 is largest aircraftusing the airport
ILS effects:- Recent studies and ICAO work
indicate that vertical tail size iscritical, not span, and that the sizeof the sensitive and critical areasand the operational impact ofinfringement of CSAs should bereassessed. Hence, the need forspecific runway studies.
- However, the vertical tail size of
747-8 is same as 747-400 whichwould imply an identical impact for747-8 and 747-400.
ICAO Circular 301 states that whendigital autopilot or flight director withtrack hold guidance is used for theapproach, a Code Letter F airplanecan be contained within the CodeLetter E OFZ.
Collision risk:- 747-8 meets Code Letter E OFZ
applicability.- 90m for Code Letter E for precision
rwy is applicable based on samenose and tail height as 747-400
A14 table 3-2 footnote b note 1.- Lower collision risk than 747-400,
since the tail is further away fromrwy centerline compared to aircraftin A14 table 3-2 footnote b note 1.

ICAO
Rationale
Work of ICAO Visual Aids Panel/Working Group
No specific justification available ontaxiway on bridge
Protection beyond the rwy strip tominimize damage when aircraftundershoot or overshoot the rwyduring landing or takeoff.

BACGAgreement
- For Rwy edge lighting position,ICAO SARPs to be followed(placed along the edge of the areadeclared for the use as Rwy oroutside by less than 3 m).
- Inset Rwy edge lights; possibility ofelevated runway edge lightsaccording to preliminary engine
outputs. Snow clearance to beconsidered in the choice.
- PAPI: No specific 747-8requirement; ICAO compliant.
- Not less than 44m for width of theportion capable of supporting the747-8 and for passengerevacuation.
- Possibility of reduced width marginsif proven method of lateral restraintis provided.
- Not less than 44m for jet blast
protection, slide and passengermovement support duringevacuation in case full bearingstrength width is reduced by provenmeans of lateral restraint.
-Alternative path for ARFF vehicles(whatever the bridge width).
Minimum 90m based on 45m CodeLetter E associated runway width, ortwice that of the actual associatedrunway width.
Justification
Materials
- 747-400 engine position- Similar exhaust wake velocity
contours as 747-400- Similar glide slope approach
attitude
- 747 outer main gear wheel span- 747 outer engine span- 747-8 Jet blast velocity contours at
taxiing similar to 747-400
- FAA/EASA planned approval tooperate on 45m wide rwy.
- History of satisfactory 747operations on 45m wide rwys.
- Frequency of 747 rwy veeroffs hasdeclined significantly over itsservice history.
