AERODROME CONTROL — PRIORITY FOR DEPARTURE

Departures should normally be cleared in the order in which aircraft are ready for take-off, except that deviations may be made from this order of priority to facilitate the maximum number of departures with the least average delay. Factors which should be considered in relation to the departure sequence include, inter alia:

(a)     types of aircraft and their relative performance;

(b)     routes to be followed after take-off;

(c)      any specified minimum departure interval between take-offs;

(d)     need to apply wake turbulence separation minima;

(e)     aircraft which should be afforded priority; and

(f)      aircraft subject to ATFM requirements.
