AMC4 ATS.TR.255 Operations on parallel or near-parallel runways ED Decision 2020/008/R REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR SEGREGATED PARALLEL OPERATIONS Segregated parallel operations should only be conducted on parallel runways when the following conditions are met: (a)       the runway centre lines are spaced by a minimum of 760 m (2 500 ft) (see Figure 56). Such minimum 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 (see Figure 57), and should be increased by 30 m for each 150 m that the arrival runway is staggered away from the arriving aircraft (see Figure 58); (b)       the nominal departure track diverges immediately after take-off by at least 30 degrees from the missed approach track of the adjacent approach (see Figure 56); ![Aviation.Bot AI suggestion, not from EASA source: [Image caption skipped for debugging]](/static/files/file_gqs63YSDadR/image073.png) Figure 56: Segregated parallel operations ![Aviation.Bot AI suggestion, not from EASA source: [Image caption skipped for debugging]](/static/files/file_gqs63YSDadR/image074.png) Figure 57: Segregated parallel operations where runways are staggered ![Aviation.Bot AI suggestion, not from EASA source: [Image caption skipped for debugging]](/static/files/file_gqs63YSDadR/image075.png) Figure 58: Segregated parallel operations where runways are staggered (c)       the instrument flight procedure that aligns the aircraft with the extended runway centre line is one of the following: (1)       precision approaches and/or APV (RNP AR APCH, RNP APCH); (2)       surveillance radar approach (SRA); (3)       visual approach; and (d)       a suitable ATS surveillance system and the appropriate ground facilities conform to the standard necessary for the specific type of approach in point (c) above.
