2.4 - Ground Stops
- If Ground Stops are in effect, inform the aircraft after issuance of clearance and acknowledgement that there is a ground stop in effect and to monitor this frequency for further instructions.
- Ensure you inform the aircraft their Estimated Departure Clearance Time (EDCT) if known, as well as the cause of the ground stop.
- As all clearance delivery in the Guam CERAP occurs in the GC frequency, you will determine and notify the aircraft upon ready to taxi.
- Upon release from the ground stop you must notify aircraft affected in order of clearance to “Push and start at pilot’s discretion, call for taxi.”
- If Ramp Control is active, Ramp Control takes over this part and steers push-backs and taxi in the non-movement area.
