1 Independent Parallel Runway Visual Approach in Beijing Capital Airport

2 SUMMARY Basic Concepts of Visual Approach The Promoting Process Of Visual Approach (including The Preparation) The Implementation Process Of Visual Approach The Experience And Lessons Gained Within The Process.

3 The promoting process of Visual Approach in Beijing On 26th July 2008, CAAC issued the temporary provisions for visual separation and visual approaches. On 1st August 2008, visual separations have been provided at Capital Airport and Tianjin International Airport for a test run. Consulting with the North China regional management bureau of CAAC and several major airlines. On 28th October 2014, radar vector for visual approach was implementing at Beijing International Airport.

Basic Concepts of Visual Approach VISUAL APPROACH An approach conducted on an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan which authorizes the pilot to proceed visually and clear of clouds to

4 Basic Concepts of Visual Approach VISUAL APPROACH An approach conducted on an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan which authorizes the pilot to proceed visually and clear of clouds to the airport. The pilot must, at all times, have either the landing runway or the preceding aircraft in sight. VISUAL APPROACH is not an instrument approach procedure. There is no missed approach

5 Clearing for a visual approach No. 4: TRAFFIC IN SIGHT No.2: NEGATIVE TRAFFIC, AIRPORT IN SIGHT No. 3: NEGATIVE AIRPORT, BUT TRAFFIC IN SIGHT No.1: AIRPORT IN SIGHT No.1 able to visual approach, pilot responsible for obstacle clearance No.2 able to visual approach, pilot responsible for obstacle clearance, controller needs to ensure the standard separation with the preceding aircraft until pilot reports having the preceding aircraft in sight No.3 able to visual approach, pilot responsible for obstacle clearance and spacing with the preceding aircraft No.4 to better control the flight path of aircraft, it will be better not to issue visual approach clearance until the aircraft is already on base, then clear the aircraft visual with a heading to final

8 VECTOR FOR VISUAL APPROACH A vector for a visual approach may be initiated if : The visibility is 5 km or greater The reported ceiling at the airport of intended landing is at least 150 meters above the MVA (Minimum Vectoring Altitude)

Reference:FAA 7110.65 3. Parallel runways separated by 4,300 feet or more.

has acknowledged receipt of the visual approach clearance.

9 Reference:FAA Parallel runways separated by 4,300 feet or more. (a) When aircraft flight paths do not intersect, visual approaches may be conducted simultaneously, provided standard separation is maintained until one of the aircraft has been issued and the pilot has acknowledged receipt of the visual approach clearance. (b) Visual approaches FLIGHT may PATH be conducted A line, to one course, runway while or visual track or along instrument which approaches an are conducted simultaneously to other runways, provided the conditions of subpara (a) are met. aircraft is flying or intended to be flown. it is not necessary to apply any other type of separation with aircraft on the adjacent final approach TRACK The actual flight path of an aircraft over the (c) Provided the aircraft flight paths do not intersect, when the provisions of subparas (a) and (b) are met, course. (d) Each aircraft must be assigned headings which will allow the aircraft to intercept the extended surface of the earth. centerline of the runway at an angle not greater than 30 degrees. NOTE 1. The intent of the 30 degree intercept angle is to reduce the potential for overshoots of the extended centerline of the runway and preclude side-by-side operations with one or both aircraft in a belly-up configuration during the turn. Aircraft performance, speed, and the number of degrees of the turn are factors to be considered when vectoring aircraft to parallel runways. 2. Variances between heading assigned to intercept the extended centerline of the runway and aircraft ground track are expected due to the effect of wind and course corrections after completion of the turn and pilot acknowledgment of a visual approach clearance.

11 After the implementation of Visual Approach During the first three months period, 2398 flights have conducted visual approach 467 flights have reported unable to comply percentage of implementation is 84% 6 aircraft have conducted missedapproach procedure or go-around.

14 The separation on same and adjacent runway have been optimized or reduced. Same Runway Adjacent Runway

15 The average arrival flight time has been reduced around 3-4 minutes for each arrival point. Arrival point ( VYK ) Arrival point ( GITUM )
