Provides for simultaneous radar controlled arrivals and departures. When the thresholds are staggered and the approach is to the far threshold, the 2,500 foot separation requires an increase of 100 feet for each 500 feet of threshold stagger. 6

This order prescribes procedures used by air traffic controllers for the control and separation of air traffic. This designation of aircraft is different than that applied by the KCAB for purposes of assessing aircraft noise impacts, in which a "small" aircraft is defined as less than 70,000 pounds and a "large aircraft is defined as over 70,000 pounds. Small aircraft with a maximum take off weight below 41,000 lbs (Beech 1900, Brasilia, Metro) Large aircraft with a maximum take off weight between 41,000 and 255,000 lbs (727, 737, A-320, CRJ, Dash 8, MD-80) B757 all Boeing 757 derivatives Heavy aircraft with a maximum take off weight above 255,000 lbs (747,767,A-330, DC-10, MD-11) 7

High resolution monitors display maps depicting approaches and NTZ. Localizer A navigational aid which provides course guidance to the runway. Simultaneous Independent Approach Procedures Permits simultaneous approaches to two/three parallel runways without separation requirements between adjacent arrival streams. 8
