Abstract:

Because of wake turbulence considerations, current instrument approach

procedures treat close-spaced (i.e., less than 2,500 feet apart) parallel run

ways as a single runway. This restriction is designed to assure safety for all

aircraft types under all crosswind conditions. Restricting crosswinds and/

or aircraft types can permit safe operations for runways with smaller spacings

than 2,500 feet. An alternative safety paradigm can be based on the

pairing procedure commonly used for visual approaches to close-spaced

parallel runways. In this case, wake turbulence is not a factor if there are

appropriate limits on allowed longitudinal pair spacings and/or allowed

crosswinds. This paper examines how these concepts can be formulated

into safe instrument approach procedures.
