• Abstract:
  A new wake turbulence procedure has been developed that permits two dependent arrival traffic streams during instrument meteorological conditions ; to runways with centerline separations less than 2500 ft. For the proposed procedure, aircraft approaching both runways of a closely-spaced pair ; under limited ceiling/visibility conditions utilize instrument landing system (ILS) localizer and glide slope guidance. A critical safety analysis building ; block was to quantify the risk posed by aircraft flight technical error (FTE), a measure of the deviations from the localizer/glide slope centerlines, ; under ceiling/visibility conditions when non-visual ILS approaches are normally performed. Flight track data from Lambert-St. Louis international ; airport (STL) under severe IMC conditions, when strict adherence to navigation aide guidance would most likely occur, were used to quantify the ; aircraft dispersion characteristics.
