Air Traffic Control the Netherlands (LVNL) and Schiphol are exploring start-up and release points as substitute for the current procedure using pushback limit lines to define the end of a pushback. Currently, most aircraft stands have a pushback limit line. The idea behind start-up points is to have a limited number of locations per bay where to end a pushback. This improves uniformity in pushbacks and assures a better awareness of flight crews on the location of other aircraft.
