• Abstract:
  One of the major aviation challenges in recent years has been the increase in the number and duration of flight delays. This pamphlet offers the reader a description of near-term capacity initiatives, their intended purpose, an indication of which airports may benefit, and the target implementation dates. Initiatives described in this pamphlet: • Simultaneous (Independent) Parallel Approaches Utilizing the Precision Runway Monitor (PRM) • Improved Dependent Parallel Approaches • Reduced Longitudinal Separation on Wet Runways • Dependent Converging Instrument Approaches (DCIA) • Simultaneous Operations on Wet Intersecting Runways • Simultaneous ILS & LDA Approaches • Flight Management System (FMS) Transition to Existing Approaches Subsequent pamphlets discuss other initiatives.
