Heavy Cargo at Zurich

I wonder if anyone knows which stands you use if you have heavy cargo (747F) at Zurich LSZH?

 

There is a Cargo Centre at the airport but I see only small stands by there. You must be able to park heavies there somewhere for unloading cargo.

 

I have the latest Aerosoft scenery and charts.

 

Many thanks for any help.

Looks like they're not big on cargo traffic at all, seems Turkish are the only guys flying there regularly. They park their A330s down here by the threshold of rw34, so you'll probably fit the 747 as well: https://goo.gl/maps/4eNwz8gmJtA2

Hi Magnus

 

Thank you so much for the reply.

 

I actually got some more information.

 

I am the Operations Director at the Airwego Group VA and one of our pilots in our Cargo division (AirweCargo) went online and spoke to a live controller at Zurich.

 

Apparently when cargo heavies use Zurich they use the parking marked C, T or D in the area shown as "Maintenance" on the charts. I understand C is favoured!

 

So there you have it!

 

Thanks again for the interest.

I personally try to use the Tango, Charlie, and occasionally Delta stands for cargo to avoid having to cross RWY 34.

 

Due to wing span restrictions, code F cargo aircraft (B748/AN124/AN225) are usually parked on the Whisky stands.
