10-4-6. SIMULTANEOUS APPROACHES (DEPENDENT/ INDEPENDENT)

The concept for conducting simultaneous ILS, MLS, or ILS and MLS approaches to parallel runways with straight­in approaches is:

The requirements for conducting simultaneous straight­in approaches to parallel runways are:

Add

a. Dependent approaches may be conducted when a minimum distance of 2,500 feet, but no more than 9,000 feet, exists between centerlines.

Add

REFERENCE-
FAAO JO 7110.65, Para 5­9­6, Simultaneous Dependent Approaches, FIG 5­9­7
FAAO JO 7110.65, Para 5­9­6, Simultaneous Dependent Approaches, FIG 5­9­8

Add

b. Independent approaches may be conducted when:

a. A separate ILS/MLS system is required for each parallel runway. A minimum distance of 4,300 feet between centerlines is required when dual simultaneous MLS or ILS front course approaches are used. A minimum distance of 5,000 feet between centerlines is required for triple simultaneous ILS, MLS or ILS, and MLS approaches at airports with field elevation less than 1,000 feet MSL. Other integral parts of the total Simultaneous ILS/MLS Approach System include radar, communications, ATC procedures, and appropriate airborne equipment.

Delete

Add

1. A minimum distance of 4,300 feet between centerlines is required when dual simultaneous approaches are used.

Add

2. A minimum distance of 5,000 feet between centerlines is required for triple simultaneous approaches at airports with field elevation less than 1,000 feet MSL.

Add

c. Specially­designed instrument approach procedures annotated with “simultaneous approaches authorized with Rwy XX” are authorized for simultaneous dependent and independent approaches.

Add

d. Equipment required to maintain communication, navigation, and surveillance systems is operational with the glide slope exception as noted below.

Add

e. Operations without vertical guidance may be continued for up to 29 days provided the following conditions are met:

Add

1. Each facility must have a contingency plan for unplanned glide slope out procedures approved by the Air Traffic Safety Oversight Service (AOV).

Add

2. At a minimum, the following special provisions and conditions must be identified in the plan, if applicable, along with any other facility­specific requirements:

Add

(a) The facility must have final monitor controllers with override capability.

Add

(b) The facility must have radar coverage down to the decision altitude or minimum descent altitude, as applicable.

Add

(c) A “No Transgression Zone” (NTZ) must be established and used.

Add

(d) Approaches must be terminated to the runway without a glide slope whenever the reported visibility is below the S­LOC minimum for that runway.

Add

(e) Any required equipment for the approach with the glide slope out of service must be operational, such as DME or VORTAC. This equipment must be identified in the facility contingency plan for glide slope out procedures.

Add

(f) Mode C requirements must not be waived for any aircraft conducting an ILS approach with the glide slope out of service.

Add

(g) An LOA with the ATCT (or facility directive for a combined facility) must contain a description of the procedures, requirements, and any limitations as specified in the facility contingency plan for glide slope out of service procedures.

Add

(h) The ATC facility must notify Technical Operations personnel of the glide slope outage.

Add

REFERENCE-
FAAO JO 7210.3, Paragraph 3­5­2, System Component Malfunctions

Add

(i) The ATC facility must notify arriving pilots that the glide slope is out of service. This can be accomplished via the ATIS broadcast.

Add

(j) Any other requirements specified in the local facility contingency plan for glide slope out procedures must be complied with before conducting simultaneous approach procedures.

Add

(k) Controllers must be trained and provided annual refresher training concerning the application of these procedures.

Add

(l) The ATC facility must record when the glide slope outage occurs and any adverse impact on the operation in FAA Form 7230­4, Daily Record of Facility Operation.

Add

(m) Any loss of separation or break out associated with operations under a contingency plan for glide slope out must be reported to the Terminal Procedures Group Manager at FAA Headquarters (HQ).

Add

f. Simultaneous approaches with the glide slope unusable must be discontinued after 29 days unless a waiver has been submitted to and approved by FAA HQ. (See Appendix 4.)

b. When simultaneous ILS/MLS approaches are being conducted, the pilot is expected to inform approach control, prior to departing an outer fix, if the aircraft does not have the appropriate airborne equipment or they do not choose to conduct a simultaneous approach. Provide individual handling to such aircraft.

g. When simultaneous approaches are being conducted, the pilot is expected to inform approach control, prior to departing an outer fix, if the aircraft does not have the appropriate airborne equipment or they do not choose to conduct a simultaneous approach. Provide individual handling to such aircraft.

c. Closely monitor weather activity that could impact the final approach course. Weather conditions in the vicinity of either final approach course may dictate a change of the approach in use. (See subpara 10-1-6b Note, Selecting Active Runways.)

h. Closely monitor weather activity that could impact the final approach course. Weather conditions in the vicinity of either final approach course may dictate a change of the approach in use. (See subpara 10-1-6b Note, Selecting Active Runways.)

d. All turn-on's and final approaches are monitored by radar. Since the primary responsibility for navigation rests with the pilot, instructions from the controller are limited to those necessary to ensure separation between aircraft. Information and instructions are issued, as necessary, to contain the aircraft's flight path within the “Normal Operating Zone” (NOZ). Aircraft which are observed to enter the “No Transgression Zone” (NTZ) are instructed to alter course left or right, as appropriate, to return to the desired course. Unless altitude separation is assured between aircraft, immediate action must be taken by the controller monitoring the adjacent parallel approach course to require the aircraft in potential conflict to alter its flight path to avoid the deviating aircraft.

Unless altitude separation is assured between aircraft, immediate action must be taken by the controller monitoring the adjacent parallel approach course to require the aircraft in potential conflict to alter its flight path to avoid the deviating aircraft.

e. Missed approach procedures are established with climbs on diverging courses. To reduce the possibility of error, the missed approach procedure for a single runway operation should be revised, as necessary, to be identical with that of a simultaneous ILS/MLS operation.

j. Missed approach procedures are established with climbs on diverging courses. To reduce the possibility of error, the missed approach procedure for a single runway operation should be revised, as necessary, to be compatible with that of a simultaneous approach operation.

f. The following minimum radar and communications equipment must be provided for monitoring simultaneous ILS/MLS approaches:

k. The following minimum radar and communications equipment must be provided for monitoring simultaneous approaches:

1. One separate airport surveillance radar display of a model currently certified for ATC functions. A high-resolution, color monitor with alert algorithms, such as the Final Monitor Aid or that required in the Precision Runway Monitor program, must be required as follows:

(b) At locations where triple simultaneous approaches are conducted to parallel runways with field elevation 1,000 feet MSL or greater require an approved FAA aeronautical study.

2. Authorize simultaneous ILS/MLS approaches to parallel dual runways with centerlines separated by 3,000 feet with one localizer offset by 2.5 degrees using a precision runway monitor system with a 1.0 second radar update system and, when centerlines are separated by 3,400 feet when precision runway monitors are utilized with a radar update rate of 2.4 seconds or less.

3. The common NOZ and NTZ lines between the final approach course centerlines must be depicted on the radar video map. The NTZ must be 2,000 feet wide and centered an equal distance from the final approach centerlines. The remaining spaces between the final approach courses are the NOZs associated with each course.
