  Simultaneous Offset Instrument Approach (SOIA). 1. SOIA is a procedure used to conduct simultaneous approaches to runways spaced less than 3,000 feet, but at least 750 feet apart. The SOIA procedure utilizes a straight-in PRM approach ... runway, and a PRM offset approach with glideslope/glidepath to the adjacent runway. In SOIA operations, aircraft are paired, with the aircraft conducting the straight-in PRM approach always positioned slightly ahead of the aircraft conducting the offset PRM approach…

  acquires is how to use visual cues to discern the true aiming point from any distance out on final approach. From this, the pilot determines if the current glide path will result in either an under or overshoot. Note that ... also able to predict the point of touchdown with some accuracy. When the airplane is established on final approach, the shape of the runway image also presents clues as to what should be done to maintain a stabilized approach…

  When radar handoffs are utilized, successive arriving flights may be handed off to approach control with radar separation in lieu of vertical separation. (b) After release to approach control, aircraft are vectored to the final approach course (ILS, RNAV ... issued as required for spacing and separating aircraft. Therefore, pilots must not deviate from the headings issued by approach control.

  Chapter 4: Approaches › Stabilized Approach

  This process is simplified by maintaining a constant approach speed, descent rate, vertical flight path, and configuration during the final stages of an approach. This is referred to as the stabilized approach concept. A stabilized approach is essential for safe ... turbojet operations and commercial turbojet operators must establish and use procedures that result in stabilized approaches. A stabilized approach is also strongly recommended for propeller-driven airplanes and helicopters. You should limit configuration changes at low altitudes to those changes…
