• Abstract:
  The purpose of this memorandum is to provide recommended Total System Error (TSE) models ; for aircraft using RNAV (GPS) guidance when analyzing the wake encounter risk of proposed ; simultaneous dependent (“paired”) approach operations to Closely Spaced Parallel Runways ; (CSPR, defined as having centerline spacing less than 2,500 feet). RNAV (GPS) is being evaluated as a source of guidance to aircraft approaching one or both runways of specific CSPR pairs, in lieu of or in addition to ILS guidance, for possible inclusion in future changes to FAA Order 7110.308 and/or in future orders authorizing Wake Turbulence Mitigation for Arrivals – Procedure‐based (WTMA‐P). ; This memorandum supersedes Project Memorandum DOT‐VNTSC‐FAA‐13‐08, which is now ; obsolete. The primary differences from DOT‐VNTSC‐FAA‐13‐08 are: (1) the lateral NSE and FTE ; models for LNAV/VNAV operations are changed, and (2) recommended analysis approaches ; and possible operational restrictions are included for situations when both aircraft employ ; baro‐VNAV vertical guidance.
