Q

Standard longitudinal separation is how many minutes or miles?

A

10 minutes or

20 miles

17
Q

Reduced longitudinal separation can be used if the lead aircraft is how much faster (2 different speeds), and what are the new separation requirements?

A

22 Knots - 5 minutes or 10 miles

44 Knots - 3 minutes or 5 miles

18
Q

What type of speeds are the 22 knot and 44 knot rule based on?

A

True air speed

19
Q

If the lead aircraft is descending, or the following aircraft is climbing (with no overtake in speed), what can separation be reduced to?

A

5 minutes or 10 miles

20
Q

Opposite direction aircraft must be at different altitudes from when to when?

A

10 minutes before to 10 minutes after they are estimated to pass.

21
Q

If two aircraft WITHOUT DME report the same fix, when can you let one go through the other’s altitude?

A

3 minutes after second one reports

22
Q

If two DME or RNAV aircraft report the same fix, when can you let one go through the other’s altitude?

A

Immediately
