RUNWAY
Except as provided in AMC9 ATS.TR.210(c)(2)(i) as regards reduced runway separation minima between aircraft using the same runway, and in ATS.TR.220 as regards time-based wake turbulence separation minima, the aerodrome control tower should not permit a departing aircraft to commence take-off until:
(a) the preceding departing aircraft has crossed the end of the runway-in-use; or
(b) the preceding departing aircraft has started a turn; or
(c) all preceding landing aircraft are clear of the runway-in-use (see Figure 33).
Position limits to be reached by a landed aircraft (A) or a departing aircraft (B or C) before an arriving aircraft may be cleared to cross the threshold of the runway-in-use or a departing aircraft may be cleared to take off, unless otherwise prescribed.
