AMC4 ATS.TR.220 Application of wake turbulence separation ED Decision 2020/008/R TIME-BASED WAKE TURBULENCE LONGITUDINAL SEPARATION MINIMA — DISPLACED LANDING THRESHOLD (a) A separation minimum of 3 minutes should be applied between a LIGHT or MEDIUM aircraft and a SUPER aircraft when operating on a runway with a displaced landing threshold when: (1) a departing LIGHT or MEDIUM aircraft follows a SUPER aircraft arrival; or (2) an arriving LIGHT or MEDIUM aircraft follows a SUPER aircraft departure, if the projected flight paths are expected to cross. (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 operating on a runway with a displaced landing threshold when: (1) a departing LIGHT or MEDIUM aircraft follows a HEAVY aircraft arrival and a departing LIGHT aircraft follows a MEDIUM aircraft arrival; or (2) an arriving LIGHT or MEDIUM aircraft follows a HEAVY aircraft departure and an arriving LIGHT aircraft follows a MEDIUM aircraft departure, if the projected flight paths are expected to cross.
