AMC4 ATS.TR.255 Operations on parallel or near-parallel runways
ED Decision 2020/008/R
REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR SEGREGATED PARALLEL OPERATIONS
Segregated parallel operations should only be conducted on parallel runways when the following conditions are met:
(a) the runway centre lines are spaced by a minimum of 760 m (2 500 ft) (see Figure 56). Such minimum may be decreased by 30 m for each 150 m that the arrival runway is staggered toward the arriving aircraft, to a minimum of 300 m (see Figure 57), and should be increased by 30 m for each 150 m that the arrival runway is staggered away from the arriving aircraft (see Figure 58);
(b) the nominal
departure track diverges immediately after take-off by at least 30 degrees
from the missed approach track of the adjacent approach (see Figure 56);

(c) the instrument flight procedure that aligns the aircraft with the extended runway centre line is one of the following:
(1) precision approaches and/or APV (RNP AR APCH, RNP APCH);
(2) surveillance radar approach (SRA);
(3) visual approach; and
(d) a suitable ATS surveillance system and the appropriate ground facilities conform to the standard necessary for the specific type of approach in point (c) above.
EASA regulations for parallel runway operations mandate a minimum 760m separation. This distance adjusts based on runway staggering. Departures must diverge 30 degrees from adjacent missed approaches. Acceptable approaches include precision, surveillance radar, or visual, supported by appropriate surveillance systems and ground facilities.
