ABSTRACT
This paper analyzes a new procedure called paired approach which has been proposed for use with very closely spaced parallel runways (less than 2500 ft between runway centerlines). The intent of the procedure is to make better use of runways during instrument meteorological conditions. The analysis includes consideration of wake turbulence and collision avoidance. We find that for very closely spaced parallel runways, an angled, offset approach is necessary to simultaneously avoid wake turbulence and collision risk.
