Precision Runway Monitor (PRM) Training

• Print

This page describes requirements to use closely spaced parallel runways identified as PRM approaches. It also outlines pilot training requirements for conducting simultaneous Instrument Landing System (ILS) PRM approaches, and when conducting ILS PRM and Localizer Type Directional Aid (LDA) PRM approaches during Simultaneous Offset Instrument Approaches (SOIA) operations. >> More

  Note: Select either PDF or HTM format on Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM), and scroll down to Chap. 5, Sec. 4.
• Required PRM Training - The following information is required training for operators as identified in CFR PART 91, 121, 129, and 135. All pilots must complete this training before:
• Accepting a Clearance for a Simultaneous Close Parallel ILS/PRM or LDA/PRM Approach
• Initiating a Simultaneous Close Parallel ILS/PRM or LDA/PRM Approach
• ILS/PRM Approach for Air Carriers
• ILS/PRM Approach for General Aviation
