Since I would like to design a RAFCAD for EHAM I need to know at which piers the different airlines dock. I have surfed the web, but could not find satisfactory information. So does anybody have relevant listings, charts etc.? Or does anybody know, where I can find the wished infos?
Regards, Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,
To say it simple gate E,F,G and part of D are for non Schengen countries and B,C and the other part of D are for Schengen countries.
In a little bit more detail:
G-pier big international airliners, like United, Singapore (also El Al).
F-pier 747 of KLM
E-pier mainly NW and also 767/MD11 of KLM
D-pier 737 KLM/transavia and also BA, easyjet, cyprus
C-pier mainly european airlines, like Air France, KLM, transavia
B-pier also european airlines, normally no KLM, but alitalia, ibera, icelandair
(I think some of the european airlines use both B,C en part of D), so they have no fixed position there).
Then the apron next to the B-pier (B apron) is used to park the F50, Do-328 commuter planes and also usually the F100 of KLMuk and th eF70 of KLMcityhopper.
Hope this helps a bit,

Some times it is fun. Than you see a Onur air A320 or something like that on the E-Pier that's really funny a big gate and a small plane
.

Thanks Arno! Yes, I think this would help. But I have decided to wait till Lee Swordey releases his new AFCAD for FS2004 and then I shall design an AFCAD using the new possibilties FS2004 offers for assigning specific airlines to specific gates. Or I even wait untill December, when the new version of NL2000 (NL2004
) will come out.
BTW, are the KLM Cargo facillities used by KLM Cargo planes only or are they open for any flighter, and how is it for the Martinair cargo area?

Hi Wolfgang,
The S apron is mainly used by Martinair for their cargo planes, but sometimes other companies also park there (not that often).
KLM only has a few full cargo planes and they are parked at the most western part of the B-apron almost every time (so the spots near the R-apron). For the rest this apron is mainly used for the commuter planes (props, F70, F100) and I haven't seen other cargo planes there often.
Most other cargo planes are parked at the R-apron (so El Al, Polar, Atlas, Kalita, etc).
