14.) ATM - Arriving Aircraft

Question 1

Priority of arriving and departing AC

Answer 1

An aircraft landing or in the final stages of an approach to land shall normally have priority over an aircraft intending to depart from the same or an intersecting runway.

Question 2

Separation of landing aircraft and preceding landing and departing aircraft using the same runway:

Answer 2

Except as provided for in ‘reduced runway separation minima between aircraft on same runway’ a landing aircraft will not normally be permitted to cross the runway threshold on its final approach until:
• The preceding departing aircraft has crossed the end of the runway-in-use, or
• Has started a turn

Question 3

Factors to think about when a late change of RWY in use or type of approach

Answer 3

• Keep forecast and any actual trend in wind velocity under active review.
• Last minute runway changes increases cockpit workload – is the runway change necessary?
• Avoid change of approach or landing Runway just to achieve a reduction in ground delay.
• Change from precision to non-precision approach.
• Pilots may require a delay for planning to re-brief for a different approach

Question 4

When necessary or desirable in order to expedite traffic, a landing aircraft may be requested to:

Answer 4

• Hold short of an intersecting runway after landing.
• Land beyond the touchdown zone of the runway.
• Vacate the runway at a specified exit taxiway.
• Expedite vacating the runwa

Question 5

In requesting an aircraft to perform a specific landing and/or roll-out manoeuvre, the following shall be considered:

Answer 5

• Type of aircraft
• Runway length
• Location of exit taxiways
• Reported braking action on runway and taxiway
• Prevailing meteorological conditions
