Potential Applications of Multiple Instrument Approach Concepts at 101 U.S. Airports,

Abstract

Concepts for conducting multiple IFR Approaches to airports include: 1. Independent and Dependent parallel approaches at reduced runway separations. 2. Converging approaches to non-intersecting and to intersecting runways. 3. Triple arrival streams to parallel and non-parallel runways. 4. The application of these concepts to the use of separate short runways and segregated traffic streams. This report summarizes a survey of 101 U.S. Airports to determine potential applications of the above concepts. The survey identified many potential applications of each of the concepts using existing runways: 1. Parallel approaches - 25 airports; 2. Converging approaches - 74 airports; 3. Triple approaches - 6 airports; and 4. Use of separate short runways -60 airports.
