  • B
    At least 30° from the missed approach track of the adjacent approach.
  • C

  • D
    At least 45° from the missed approach track of the adjacent approach.

a) the runway centre lines are spaced by the distance specified in Annex 14, Volume I;
b) the aircraft are vectored to intercept the final approach track;
c) suitable surveillance radar with a minimum azimuth accuracy of 0.3 degrees (one sigma) and update period of 5 seconds or less is available;
d) ILS and/or MLS approaches are being conducted on both runways;
e) aircraft are advised that approaches are in use to both runways (this information may be provided through the ATIS);
