Designing segmented independent parallel approach procedures for a mixed-equipage environment

Summary of safety concept for laterally segmented independent parallel approaches — RNP facilitates designing laterally segmented approaches (Advanced RNP/RNP AR APCH) — But can runways be operated independently and therefore capacity-optimal? — ICAO´s requirements on independent parallel approach operations: — Straight approaches — Runway spacing at least 3400 ft (1036 m) — Precision approaches based on ILS or MLS — Implementation of a ground-based runway monitoring system.
