IR Implementing rule

## CS ADR-DSN.E.365 Clearance distances on aircraft stands

(a) The safety objective of clearance distances on [aircraft](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/aircraft) stands is to provide safe separation between an aircraft using the stand and any adjacent building, aircraft on another stand and other objects.

(b) An [aircraft stand](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/aircraft-stand) should provide the following minimum clearances between an aircraft entering or exiting the stand and any adjacent building, aircraft on another stand and other objects:

| Code Letter | Clearance |
| ----------- | --------- |
| A           | 3 m       |
| B           | 3 m       |
| C           | 4.5 m     |
| D           | 7.5 m     |
| E           | 7.5 m     |
| F           | 7.5 m     |

(c) The minimum clearance distance for code letters D, E and F can be reduced:

(1) for height limited objects,

(2) if the stand is restricted for aircraft with specific characteristics,

(3) in the following locations (for aircraft using a taxi-in, push-back procedure only):

(i) between the terminal (including passenger loading bridges) and the nose of an aircraft; and

(ii) over a portion of the stand provided with azimuth guidance by a visual docking guidance system.
