Ramp Area
The ramp area around the terminal is a non-movement area. There is no need to approve push backs or startups unless those aircraft will be pushing back or starting up in a movement area. Likewise there is no need to approve shutdowns unless it will be done in a movement area.

During most times, there will be one runway for departures and one runway for arrivals. Taxi aircraft accordingly.
Use of runway 15L/33R
- All General Aviation (GA) props and any jets that are capable of using the runway
