radar separation

The separation used when aircraft position information is derived from radar sources (ICAO). The traffic is spaced out in accordance with the established minimums. The separation minimums are basically 5 NM and, at the discretion of the authority, when within 40 NM of the radar and below flight level 245, 3 NM; both these assume that primary and secondary radars are available. If only the secondary is available, then the radar separation is 8 NM.

That takes longer than the more sophisticated radar separation used in Singapore and elsewhere in the world, which allows a controller to more quickly take stock of radar returns from all aircraft in the area.

Neal Fine who is Senior Vice President of Technology for the Company, focuses on the Company's unique Aircraft Wake Safety Management (AWSM) system that is designed to integrate direct, real-time measurements of flight paths, weather parameters and wake vortex positions at flight critical locations with predicted information, enabling air traffic controllers to provide basic radar separation to all aircraft under normal conditions.

The Controller's Handbook 9-3-2b requires controllers to provide radar separation of three miles (six miles above FL 600) from special use airspace.

The objective of this research would demonstrate that normal radar separation standards would be adequate when it can be confirmed that the wake vortices are not in the flight path of the trailing airplane.

Radar separation between IFR airplanes requires 1000 feet vertical separation or three miles laterally for radar approach controls.

Against the flow

If you're climbing high, ATC needs to ensure vertical or horizontal radar separation between you and other traffic before you reach flight level 180.

Radar controllers don't have that luxury for nontowered fields and need that radar separation.

No tower, no problem: what keeps IFR planes flowing in and out of nontowered airports? Good teamwork, specialized phraseology, and reasonable expectations

Minimum required radar separation from the MOA boundary is three miles.

Not for the MOA

The minimum required radar separation between two IFR aircraft is three miles of horizontal separation or 1000 feet of vertical separation.

Standards of separation: while you're IFR, controllers guarantee certain distances from stationary objects or other flying machines--unless you step in

Radar separation must be maintained until visual separation is provided.

Cleared for the visual: simplicity can be deceiving. calling the airport in sight is one of many requirements for ATC to issue a visual approach
