| ===North Terminal Parking===

| The North parking deck and adjacent lot are great for shooting arriving and departing flights utilizing the north runways (8L/26R, 8R/26L). The City of Atlanta Department of Aviation no longer issues use of facilities forms for spotting/photography. Parking decks are permissible areas for spotting/photography. Some APD officers may not know this so please respectably inform them of this change in policy if they insist Atlanta requires this form still. Always be pleasant and comply with police or airport official's requests. If they ask you to leave even when you know you're allowed to be there, you must leave.
