(5-5-(all)
Radar Separation {Exceptions}
Assign an altitude to an aircraft only after the aircraft previously at that altitude is observed at or passing through another altitude separated from the first by the appropriate minima when:
> severe turbulence is reported
aircraft are conducting military aerial refueling
the aircraft previously at that altitude has been issued a climb/descent at pilot’s discretion
(5-5-(all)
Radar Separation {Passing or Diverging}
All other approved separation may be discontinued and passing or diverging separation applied when:
> aircraft are on opposite/reciprocal courses and you have observed that they have passed each other
-(or aircraft are on same or crossing/assigned radar vectors and one aircraft has crossed teh projected course of the other, and the angular difference between their courses/assigned radar vectors is at least 15 degrees)
> the tracks are monitored to ensure that the primary targets, beacon control slashes, FUSION target symbols, or full digital terminal system primary and/or beacon target symbols will not touch.
(5-5-(all)
Radar Separation {Passing or Diverging}
Single Sit ARSR or FUSION mode when target refresh in only from an ARSR or when in FUSION mode—ISR is displayed.
Aircraft are on opposite/reciprocal courses and you have observed that they have passed each other, or aircraft are on same or crossing courses/assigned radar vectors and one aircraft has crossed the projected course of the other, and the angular difference between their courses/assigned radar vectors is at least:
45 degrees
