2. BACKGROUND: Field facilities have raised concerns that directives and phraseology are not clear and
consistent when it comes to issuing clearances to airports and NAVAIDs. In some cases, the directives simply
state destination airport without any supporting phraseology, and this leaves open the possibility that a clearance
could contain only the airport name without the following word “airport." In some cases, when an airport and a
NAVAID might have the same name, the clearance limit is not clear.

1. PARAGRAPH NUMBER AND TITLE: 4-7-12. AIRPORT CONDITIONS
2. BACKGROUND: This change clarifies the responsibilities of En Route controllers regarding information
contained in Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) related to the abnormal operation of approach and landing aids or
destination airport conditions which might restrict an approach or landing. When providing En Route approach
control service, there is no requirement to disseminate information to the pilot pertaining to the airport surface
environment other than the landing area. Additionally, obstruction information contained in nonFDC NOTAMs
are not required to be issued if the aircraft will be cleared for an instrument approach.
With respect to information regarding Special Use Airspace (SUA) or military training route (MTR) activities
contained in NOTAMs, En Route controllers are required to take appropriate action to separate nonparticipating
IFR aircraft from those activities when required, and to issue appropriate advisories to IFR and to any VFR
aircraft being provided advisory service. In meeting those requirements, there is no requirement for controllers to
additionally issue the associated D NOTAM related to that SUA or MTR to the pilot.

|
Add
|
|
NOTE-
1. Airport conditions information, in the provision of
en route approach control service, does not include
information pertaining to the airport surface
environment other than the landing area(s) or
obstruction information for aircraft that will be
cleared for an instrument approach. Accordingly, D
NOTAMs that contain the keywords TAXIWAY
(TXY), RAMP, APRON, or SERVICE (SVC) are not
required to be issued. Additionally, Obstruction
NOTAMs (OBST) are not required to be issued if an
aircraft will be cleared for an instrument approach.
|
Add
|
|
2. When advised of special use airspace (SUA) or
military training route (MTR) activation, appropriate
action is taken to separate nonparticipating IFR
aircraft from those activities when required, and/or to
issue applicable advisories as warranted. When
meeting this requirement, there is no requirement for
controllers to additionally issue the associated
D NOTAM activating that SUA or MTR to the pilot.
Accordingly, D NOTAMs for SUA that contain the
accountability codes SUAE, SUAC, and SUAW are not
required to be issued.

1. PARAGRAPH NUMBER AND TITLE: 5-9-10. SIMULTANEOUS INDEPENDENT APPROACHES TO WIDELYSPACED PARALLEL RUNWAYS WITHOUT FINAL MONITORS
2. BACKGROUND: Currently, 11 waivers exist in the NAS which allow for widely-spaced parallel
operations to exist without final monitors. There is a May 2009 SRMD which establishes the criteria for those
waivers. In order to alleviate the necessity for future waivers, a new paragraph is being added to
FAA Order JO 7110.65 which captures all of the requirements of the SRMD. Additionally, no mention is made to
the types of approaches as: (1) the approach charts must allow for it, and (2) a January 2011 SRMD allows for
parallel dependent and simultaneous independent GPSRNAV/RNP and ILS approaches or any combination of
the two. FAA Order JO 7210.3 is being updated to reflect this change as well.

specifically authorize simultaneous approaches
to adjacent runways.

Add

Add
|
|
a. Apply the following minimum separation
when conducting simultaneous independent
approaches to runway centerlines that are
separated by more than 9,000 feet with a field
elevation at or below 5,000 feet MSL, or 9,200
feet between runway centerlines with a field
elevation above 5,000 feet MSL:
|
Add
|
|
1. Provide a minimum of 1,000 feet vertical or
a minimum of 3 miles radar separation between
aircraft during turnon to parallel final
approach.
|
Add
|
|
2. Provide the minimum applicable radar
separation between aircraft on the same final
approach course.

|
1. Straightin landings will be made.
|
Add
|
|
2. The approach system, radar, and
appropriate frequencies are operating normally.
|
Add
|
|
3. Inform aircraft that simultaneous
approaches are in use prior to aircraft departing
an outer fix. This information may be provided
through the ATIS.
|
Add
|
|
4. Clear an aircraft to descend to the
appropriate glideslope/glidepath intercept
altitude soon enough to provide a period of level
flight to dissipate excess speed. Provide at least
1 mile of straight flight prior to the final
approach course intercept.
|
Add
|
|
5. Separate final and local controllers are
required for each final. Aircraft on the final
must be on the appropriate final controller
frequency for that runway.
|
Add

6. Transfer of communication and monitor
responsibility to the tower controller's
frequency must be specified in a facility directive
and/or Letter of Agreement.

the final approach controllers:
|
Add

NOTE-
There is no requirement for the establishment of a
NTZ.
|
Add
|
|
1. Instruct the aircraft to return to the correct
final approach course when that aircraft is
observed to overshoot the turnon or continue on
a track which deviates from the final approach
course in the direction of the adjacent approach
course.
|
Add

PHRASEOLOGY-
YOU HAVE CROSSED THE FINAL APPROACH
COURSE. TURN (left/right) IMMEDIATELY AND
RETURN TO LOCALIZER/AZIMUTH COURSE,
or

2. Instruct aircraft on adjacent final
approach course to alter course to avoid the
deviating aircraft when an aircraft is observed,
or in the controller’s judgment, has deviated
from the final approach course in the direction
of the adjacent approach course.

d. Consideration should be given to known
factors that may in any way affect the safety of
the instrument approach phase of flight when
simultaneous approaches are being conducted to
parallel runways. Factors include, but are not
limited to, wind direction/velocity, windshear
alerts/reports, severe weather activity, etc.
Closely monitor weather activity that could
impact the final approach course. Weather
conditions in the vicinity of the final approach
course may dictate a change of approach in use.

1. PARAGRAPH NUMBER AND TITLE: 9-2-22. OPEN SKIES TREATY AIRCRAFT
2. BACKGROUND: There has been some confusion on the type of OPEN SKIES flight that get priority
handling. This change clarifies which type of flights require priority handling (F and D). Additionally,
notification of using/scheduling agencies of special use airspace (SUA) has only been accomplished 15 minutes
prior to the OPEN SKIES aircraft reaching the boundary. This has caused problems with the DOD in planning and
using SUA.

SKIES aircraft is fifteen (15) minutes from the SUA
boundary; and

(a) The ATC facility controlling the F and D
Treaty flight must advise the using/scheduling
agency or appropriate ATC facility upon initial
notification and when the aircraft is 15 minutes
from the SUA boundary; and

(b) If the controlling facility/using agency is
unable to confirm that all conflicting activities in
the SUA have ceased, the OPEN SKIES aircraft
must not be permitted access to the SUA.

appropriate, within fifteen (15) minutes after the
OPEN SKIES aircraft clears the SUA.
