Runways

Runway system

SBVT has two runways that do not cross: 02/20 (2058 m), to the east, next to the passenger terminal (apron 1), and 06/24 (1750 m), to the west, next to the old terminal and the cargo terminal (aprons 2 and 3). They come close to each other in the north, near thresholds 20 and 24. The AIP defines no preferential runway.

Main: 02/20

2058 × 45 m. RNP and VOR approaches. Serves apron 1 via TWY F.
Secondary: 06/24

1750 × 45 m. Has the aerodrome's only ILS, on 24. Serves aprons 2 and 3 via TWY A.

24	1750 × 45 m	1750 m	1750 m	ILS CAT I	Turnaround area at threshold 24

Backtrack on 02 only up to the threshold 20 turnaround area².

ATC Units

Code	Abbr.	Callsign	Frequency
SBVT_ATIS	`AVT`	Vitória Information	127.575
SBVT_GND	`GVT`	Vitória Ground	121.950
SBVT_TWR	`TVT`	Vitória Tower	118.100

SBVT has no Clearance (DEL) and no DCL. Ground issues the clearance, or Tower without Ground.

Areas of responsibility

Map of SBVT with the runway strips in yellow, under Tower, and the rest in blue, under Ground — Yellow strips: Tower. Rest: Ground. The dashed line runs through the holding points. White circles: apron numbers.

Position	Responsible for
GND	Aprons 1 to 4, TWY A, F, N, D, E and the links up to the holding point
TWR	Both runways and the taxiways inside the holding points

SBVT has no Apron position: Ground handles all aprons.
Departures: Ground hands off to Tower before the holding point.
Arrivals: once the aircraft vacates the runway, Tower hands off to Ground.
Aircraft crossing 06/24 via C/D, or passing threshold 24 on the way to 20, need a Tower clearance.

Ground flow

General rule

TWY F runs along the west side of 02/20, from apron 1 to threshold 24. N is the apron 1 taxiway; G and H lead to threshold 02.
J, K, L and M link F to 02/20. M reaches threshold 20 passing next to threshold 24.
A runs along the west side of 06/24 and links aprons 2 and 3 to the thresholds; B and C link A to the runway.
D crosses 06/24 and links the west side to F; E links D to F and K.

Runway 02Runway 20

Ground flow on runway 02: departures via N, F and G to threshold 02; landings vacating via K and following F to apron 1; turboprops vacating via J — Green: departures. Blue: landings. Dashed orange: short exit for turboprops.

Departures (02): N, F and G (or H) to threshold 02.
Landings (02): vacate via K and follow F to apron 1. Turboprops may vacate via J.
Avoid M: vacating via M after landing on 02 interferes with runway 06 operations (HS 7)⁴.

Example: GLO1234, taxi to holding point runway 02 via N, F, G.

Ground flow on runway 20: departures via F, passing threshold 24, and M to threshold 20; landings vacating via J and following F — Green: departures. Blue: landings.

Departures (20): F northbound, passing threshold 24 with Tower clearance, and M to threshold 20.
Landings (20): vacate via J and follow F southbound to apron 1.

Example: AZU4321, taxi to holding point runway 20 via F, M, cross runway 06/24 at threshold 24.

Runway exits

Runway	Exits
02	J (~740 m, turboprops), K (~1500 m) or L (~1550 m). Avoid M
20	J (~1310 m) or G/H at the end of the runway
06	B (~550 m), C or D (~890 m) or F at the end of the runway
24	C or D (~860 m) or B (~1200 m)

Approximate distance from the threshold to the exit, measured on the diagram.

Taxi restrictions

Restriction	Where
Code D prohibited	TWY A and B and aprons 2 and 3 between stands 2 and 13²
Code E prohibited	TWY H³
In IMC	Code 4D prohibited on TWY A and on the apron 3 taxiway while a code 3 or 4 aircraft lands or departs on 06/24²

Hotspots

HS 3: D × F × J intersection, access to apron 1, with converging taxi flows.
HS 5: C × D × 06/24 intersection. Complex geometry and frequent runway crossings.
HS 6: E × F × K intersection. Several taxi flows converge.
HS 7: M, exit from 02. Landings on 02 vacating via M interfere with 06.

Takeoff points

Runway	Point	TORA
02	G or H (threshold)	2058 m
20	M (threshold)	2058 m
06	A (threshold)	1750 m
24	F (threshold)	1750 m

Aprons and airlines

Reference for simulation. The stands follow the PDC charts; the airlines follow the airport's airline list on Wikipedia. The split between stands is a simplification, not the airport's official allocation. VAs use the stands of the real airline they represent.
