Requirements for Instrument Approaches to Converging Runways,
Abstract
This document discusses the technical issues relevant to converging approaches and examines the feasibility of conducting instrument approaches as a means of increasing airport capacity. The main considerations in the analysis were: runaway geometry; missed approach paths; and pilot acceptance. A safety analysis was conducted to determine requirements and control procedures to provide protection against: random lateral variation from the missed approach path; Heading blunder; and rare and unexpected events. Requirements for final and missed approach are presented as are strategies for applying these requirements to airports with a wide variety of converging runway geometries. Preliminary recommended procedures are presented for conducting independent instrument approaches to Category I minima.
