DRT1W
SHARK1W
TRENT1W
DEVON1W
RYE1W
a/c dep on DEVON1W or TRENT1W are deemed seperated from inbound a/c on BRN1B or BRN1C.
Inbound a/c on BRN1B are deemed seperated from RYE1W or DRT1W dep a/c until the outbound traffic crosses TAM. This situation can be resolved by giving the outbound a/c a clearance limit of ‘TAM to hold’, or by instructing the outbound a/c to ‘cross TAMAR at FL__ or above’. Select a FL which is 1000ft above inbound a/c.
a/c dep rwy 26 on SIDs, plus any a/c established BRN to Shark or Shark to BRN to hold, are deemed sepearted from a/c holding at EVN and aircraft which have commeneced the EVN ILS IAP to rwy 26.
