ICAO Doc 4444
Chapter 6. SEPARATION IN THE VICINITY OF AERODROMES
6.7.3.2 REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR INDEPENDENT PARALLEL APPROACHES

6.7.3.2.4 A minimum of 300 m (1000 ft) vertical separation or, subject to radar system and situation display capabilities, a minimum of 5.6 km (3.0 NM) radar separation shall be provided until aircraft are established:

a) inbound on the ILS localizer course and/or MLS final approach track; and
b) within the normal operating zone (NOZ).

6.7.3.2.5 Subject to radar system and situation display capabilities, a minimum of 5.6 km (3.0 NM) radar separation shall be provided between aircraft on the same ILS localizer course or MLS final approach track unless increased longitudinal separation is required due to wake turbulence or for other reasons.


6.7.3.4 REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR DEPENDENT PARALLEL APPROACHES
6.7.3.4.3 The minimum radar separation to be provided between aircraft established on the ILS localizer course and/or MLS final approach track shall be:

a) 5.6 km (3.0 NM) between aircraft on the same ILS localizer course or MLS final approach track unless increased longitudinal separation is required due to wake turbulence; and
b) 3.7 km (2.0 NM) between successive aircraft on adjacent ILS localizer courses or MLS final approach tracks.
