Light (L) up to and including 7,000kg

Question 8

Aircraft separations

Answer 8

L behind; M-4 miles, H-6miles, S-8miles
M behind; H-5miles, S-7miles
H behind; H-4miles, S-6miles
S behind S-4miles

Any aircraft departing behind H-2min if same threshold or threshold or parallel runway 2500ft or less away

Any aircraft departing behind H-3min or light behind M if a/c starts at an intersection further along runway or controller believes following a/c requires more runway for t/o
