Surface Movement

On Eindhoven a special taxi procedure is used for aircraft with a wingspan bigger than 36 meters. In general we can say that all heavies belong to that category. Special ground movement charts have been published in the AIS Netherlands showing the special route wich needs to be followed during taxi for those aircraft. Other information about Eindhoven Ground:

Eindhoven Ground authorises start-up & push-back.
Eindhoven Ground issues taxi clearances
In a busy environment regulate the priority of the traffic. Make pilots give way to other pilots, instead of leaving it up to them. Also inform the pilot who is receiving priority, so he knows to which traffic to look out for.
Conditional clearances may be given, however care must be taken when doing. There may be no ambiguity in the clearance, and the pilot must fully understand the clearance.
Crossing of active runways shall always be done under the responsibility and supervision of Eindhoven Tower.
reporting POB (Persons on board) is no longer required for civil aircraft, military aircraft still have to report POB at startup.

Issuing Clearances

IFR en-route clearance should be given prior to start-up clearance, and should contain the following information:

Clearance limit (destination)
Standard instrument departure (SID) and runway
Initial climb
Squawk code

Startup clearance shall be given on request of the pilot together with, if applicable, the push-back approval and should contain:

Startup approved
QNH
ATIS check (either confirm ATIS reported by the pilot is correct or inform him of the new active ATIS)
(If applicable push-back approval)

A VFR startup clearance should contain the following items:

Startup approved
Runway in use
Squawk
QNH
ATIS check (either confirm ATIS reported by the pilot is correct or inform him of the new active ATIS)

A Taxi clearance should contain the following items:

Taxi to ...
... [POSITION] ...
... [ROUTING] ...
... [TRAFFIC INFO]

On Eindhoven preset taxi routes are published on the AIS pages for both arriving and departing traffic with a wingspan bigger then 36m. These routes are mandatory to be followed in order to avoid structural damage to the airplane and ground equipment.
