Civilian traffic should receive full taxi instructions. ##### Helicopter Lanes and Pads Celle is equipped with one Helipad at taxiway Y and 5 Helicopter Lanes. Helicopter Lanes can be regarded as normal grass runways parallel to runway 08/26 that can only be used by helicopters. #### Departing Traffic Celle Tower should inform departing traffic about current weather conditions. In the case of military traffic, the colour code is sufficient.
