Runway Operations Guidelines - Scholarly Flashcards
Successive departure
For successive departures from the same runway, you may authorize the second
aircraft to take off, provided that one of the following applies before the second
aircraft begins its take-off roll:
* The first aircraft has departed and turned to clear the departure path.
* The first aircraft has departed and reached a point on the departure path
where it will not conflict with the second aircraft.
Successive arrivals
For successive arrivals on the same runway, you may authorize the second aircraft to land, provided that
one of the following applies before the second aircraft crosses the landing threshold:
* The first aircraft has landed and taxied off the runway.
* The first aircraft has landed or is over the landing runway, and the following conditions apply:
◦ The first aircraft is at a sufficient distance from the threshold to allow the second aircraft to
safely complete its landing roll.
◦ The first aircraft will taxi off the runway without stopping or backtracking.
◦ The pilot of the second aircraft has been advised of the first aircraft’s position and
intentions.
Arrivals before departure
When an aircraft arrives before a departure on the same runway, ensure that the arriving aircraft has
landed and taxied off the runway, or that it will vacate the runway before the departing aircraft begins its
take-off roll.
Departure before Arrivals
You may permit an arrival behind a departure on the same runway provided that, before the arrival
crosses the landing threshold, the departing aircraft is airborne and meets one of the following
conditions:
* It is at a distance from the threshold such that the arriving aircraft will not overtake it during the
landing roll, or conflict with it in the event of a missed approach.
* It has turned to avoid any conflict with the arriving aircraft in the event of a missed approach.
