Minimum separation of _ minutes should be applied for a LIGHT or Medium aircraft and _ minutes for a non-_____ _____ aircraft taking off behind an A38O. aircraft when the aircraft are using:

a) the same -
b) parallel runways separated by less than -
c) crossing runways if the projected flight path of the second aircraft will cross the projected flight path of the first aircraft at the same altitude or less than -

d) parallel runways separated by ___ m (_____ ft) or more, if the projected flight path of the second aircraft will cross the projected flight path of the first aircraft at the same altitude or less than ____ m (_____ ft) below.

Answer 6

A separation minima of 4 minutes should be applied for a LIGHT or MEDIUM aircraft when taking off
behind an A380-800 aircraft from;

part of the runway

760 m (250 ft).

Question 7

Displaced Landing Threshold:

A separation minimum of _ minutes should be applied between a LIGHT or MEDIUM aircraft and an A380-800 aircraft when operating on a runway with a displaced landing threshold when;
