Runways

Runway system

SBGO has one runway, 14/32 (2286 × 45 m, asphalt). Two parallels run along it end to end: A on the apron 1 side (general aviation and hangars) and J on the apron 2 side (passenger terminal).

  • Runway 14

    RNP, VOR and NAV APV. Takeoff from the threshold, via F or B.

  • Runway 32

    RNP, VOR and NAV APV. Takeoff from the threshold, via T or E.

Runway selection

The AIP sets no preferential runway: the runway in use follows the wind.

Runway data

Runway Dimensions TORA LDA Approach Remarks
14 2286 × 45 m 2286 m 2286 m Non-precision RNP, VOR and NAV APV
32 2286 × 45 m 2286 m 2286 m Non-precision RNP, VOR and NAV APV
  • The AD accepts aircraft up to code 4C1.
  • There is no ILS.
  • 180° turns for aircraft with an MTOW above 40 t only at the thresholds2.
  • When taking off from 14, do not use the extension of TWY B aligned with the runway as a landing and takeoff runway3.
  • On final, do not mistake TWY J for the runway: it is on the left on final for 14 and on the right on final for 32 (hot spot HS1)3.

ATC Units

Code Abbr. Callsign Frequency Remarks
SBGO_ATIS AGO Goiânia Information 127.675
SBGO_DEL DGO Goiânia Clearance 121.050 Voice clearance
SBGO_GND GGO Goiânia Ground 121.700

  • SBGO has no DCL4: clearance is given by voice on Clearance. Without DEL, the position covering clearance top-down (GND, TWR, APP or ACC) takes over.

Areas of responsibility

Yellow strip: Tower. Rest: Ground. The dashed line runs through the holding points. White circles: aprons.
Position Responsible for
GND Aprons 1 and 2, TWY A, J, K, L and the links up to the holding point
TWR Runway 14/32 and the TWY inside the holding points
  • SBGO has no Apron position (APRON): Ground handles both aprons.
  • The Hangares 1 and Hangares 2 taxiways are outside air traffic control: aircraft move under the operator's responsibility and call Ground before entering A5.
  • Departures: Ground hands off to Tower before the holding point. Arrivals: after vacating the runway, Tower hands off to Ground.

Ground flow

General rule

  • J runs along the runway on the terminal side, from F (threshold 14) to T (threshold 32).
  • K links apron 2 to the middle of J; L links apron 2 to J next to threshold 32.
  • A runs along the runway on the apron 1 side, from B (threshold 14) to E (threshold 32). C and D link A to the runway.
  • G and H are the angled exits between the runway and J: H for aircraft landing on 14, G for aircraft landing on 32.

Ground flow on runway 14: departures from apron 2 via K and J to F; from apron 1 via A to B; landings vacating via H and continuing via J and L to apron 2
Green: departures from apron 2. Dashed orange: departures from apron 1 (general aviation). Blue: landings.

  • Departures (14): from apron 2, K and J to F (threshold 14). From apron 1, A to B.
  • Landings (14): vacate via H (~1530 m) and continue via J and L to apron 2. For apron 1, vacate via D (~1930 m).

Example: GLO1234, taxi to holding point runway 14 via K, J and F.

Ground flow on runway 32: departures from apron 2 via L to T; from apron 1 via A to E; landings vacating via G and continuing via J and K to apron 2
Green: departures from apron 2. Dashed orange: departures from apron 1 (general aviation). Blue: landings.

  • Departures (32): from apron 2, L to T (threshold 32). From apron 1, A to E.
  • Landings (32): vacate via G (~1700 m) and continue via J and K to apron 2. For apron 1, vacate via C (~1400 m).

Example: AZU4321, taxi to holding point runway 32 via L and T.

Runway exits

Runway Exits
14 C (~880 m), H (~1530 m), D (~1930 m) or T/E (end)
32 D (~350 m), C (~1400 m), G (~1700 m) or F/B (end)

Approximate distance from the threshold to the exit, measured on the diagram. The SBGO AIP publishes no exits.

Taxi restrictions

Restriction Where
180° turns MTOW above 40 t only at the thresholds2
Pushback required Jets on scheduled flights at apron 2: leaving under own power is prohibited5
Pushback before engine start Apron 1, stands 3, 4 and 5 (in front of the TWR): code B jets and code C aircraft5
Outside ATC Hangares 1 (11 m wide) and Hangares 2 (12 m) taxiways5

  • The SBGO AIP publishes no intersection departures.

Aprons and airlines

Reference for simulation. SBGO has no PDC chart: aprons follow the ADC chart and airlines follow the airport's airline list on Wikipedia. The split is a simplification, not the airport's official allocation. VAs use the stands of the real airline they represent.

Other procedures

  • Helicopters: landings and takeoffs directly at the Hangares 1 sector (north hangars) are prohibited. They land and take off on apron 1 or in the area next to the engine test sector and are towed to the hangar1.
  • Aerobatic flights, parachute drops, dropping objects or spraying, and aircraft towing are prohibited1.
