Intersecting Runway Operations

Question 1

(5-8-3)
Successive or Simultaneous Departures

How do you separate aircraft departing from the same airport/heliport or adjacent airports/heliport, given that radar identification with the aircraft will be established within 1 mile of the takeoff runway end/helipad and courses will diverge by 15 degrees or more:

With parallel runways less than 2,500’

Answer 1

• 1 mile if courses diverge by 15 degrees or more immediately after departure
• 10 degrees or more when both aircraft are departing the same runway and both are flying an RNAV SID

Question 2

GFK LOA: 12(all)

What is the phraseology for a small aircraft requesting the big runway when 9L or 27R is in use?

Answer 2

DO YOU NEED RUWNAY (35L/17R FOR OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS?

Question 3

(GFK LOA: Attch H 2(a)

When do releases issued to ATCT remain valid with GFKT when the CTRD goes out?

Answer 3

> when the aircraft reaches or is already past the FAF or 5 DME for VOR RWY 35L.

(So long as ATCT maintains visual separation between the arriving aircraft and the proposed departure. )

Question 4

(5-8-3)
Successive or Simultaneous Departures

How do you separate aircraft departing from the same airport/heliport or adjacent airports/heliport, given that radar identification with the aircraft will be established within 1 mile of the takeoff runway end/helipad and courses will diverge by 15 degrees or more:

Between aircraft departing from diverging runways
(Nonintersecting runways)

Answer 4

Authorize simultaneous takeoffs if runways diverge by 15 degrees or more

Question 5

(5-8-3)
Successive or Simultaneous Departures

How do you separate aircraft departing from the same airport/heliport or adjacent airports/heliport, given that radar identification with the aircraft will be established within 1 mile of the takeoff runway end/helipad and courses will diverge by 15 degrees or more:

Intersecting runways that diverge by 15 degrees or more

Answer 5

> authorize takeoff of a succeeding aircraft when the preceding aircraft has passed the point of runway and/or takeoff course intersection

Question 6

(5-8-3)
Successive or Simultaneous Departures

How do you separate aircraft departing from the same airport/heliport or adjacent airports/heliport, given that radar identification with the aircraft will be established within 1 mile of the takeoff runway end/helipad and courses will diverge by 15 degrees or more:

Parallel runways departing in the same direction

Answer 6

> Authorize simultaneous takeoffs if the center lines/takeoff courses area separated by at least 2,500’ and courses diverge by 15 degrees or more immediately after departure o

10 degrees or more when both aircraft are flying an RNAV SID
