CS ADR-DSN.B.055 Minimum distance between parallel instrument runways

ED Decision 2016/027/R

(a) Where parallel instrument runways are intended for simultaneous use, the minimum distance between their centre lines should be:

(1) 1 035 m for independent parallel approaches;

(2) 915 m for dependent parallel approaches;

(3) 760 m for independent parallel departures; and

(4) 760 m for segregated parallel operations.

(b) Apart from provided in (a) above, for segregated parallel operations the specified minimum distance:

(1) 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; and

(2) should be increased by 30 m for each 150 m that the arrival runway is staggered away from the arriving aircraft.

(c) Other combinations of minimum distances should apply taking into account ATM and operational aspects.
