Abstract:

Wake turbulence considerations currently restrict the use of parallel runways less than 2500 ft (762 m) apart. ; However, wake turbulence is not a factor if there are appropriate limits on allowed longitudinal pair spacings ; and/or allowed crosswinds. The tradeoffs between longitudinal spacing and crosswind, needed to prevent wake ; encounters, are assessed by modeling and by examining existing wake lateral transport data from O'Hare and ; Dallas/Ft. Worth airports at distances of 1500-3000 ft (457-914m) from runway threshold.
