AMC5 ATS.TR.220 Application of wake turbulence separation
ED Decision 2020/008/R
TIME-BASED
WAKE TURBULENCE LONGITUDINAL SEPARATION MINIMA — OPPOSITE DIRECTION
(a) A separation minimum of 3 minutes should be applied between a LIGHT or MEDIUM aircraft and a SUPER aircraft when the SUPER aircraft is making a low or missed approach and the LIGHT or MEDIUM aircraft is:
(1) utilising an opposite-direction runway for take-off; or
(2) landing on the same runway in the opposite direction, or on a parallel opposite-direction runway separated by less than 760 m (2 500 ft).
(b) A separation minimum of 2 minutes should be applied between a LIGHT or MEDIUM aircraft and a HEAVY aircraft and between a LIGHT aircraft and a MEDIUM aircraft when the heavier aircraft is making a low or missed approach and the lighter aircraft is:
(1) utilising an opposite-direction runway for take-off (see Figure 46); or

(2) landing on the same runway in the opposite direction, or on a parallel opposite-direction runway separated by less than 760 m (2 500 ft) (see Figure 47).
