  • Chapter 5. Air Traffic Procedures › Section 4. Arrival Procedures › 5-4-15. Simultaneous Independent ILS/RNAV/GLS Approaches

    position is tracked by final monitor controllers who will issue instructions to aircraft observed deviating from the assigned final approach course. Staggered radar separation procedures are not utilized. Integral parts of a total system are radar, communications, ATC procedures…

  • Chapter 10: IFR Flight › Approach to an Airport With an Operating Tower, With an Approach Control › Radar Monitoring of Instrument Approaches

    radical deviation is observed, the pilot is advised to execute a missed approach unless the prescribed visual reference with the surface is established. Radar service is automatically terminated upon completion of the approach. [Figure 10-11] Timed Approaches From ... approaches from a holding fix are conducted when many aircraft are waiting for an approach clearance. Although the controller does not specifically state “timed approaches are in progress,” the assigning of a time to depart the FAF inbound (nonprecision approach…

    take appropriate action should adjacent aircraft deviate in a manner that creates a collision hazard to their aircraft and notify ATC. Pilots are informed by ATC or through the ATIS that simultaneous approaches are in use. d. The close proximity ... independent approaches, especially simultaneous close parallel PRM approaches mandates strict pilot compliance with all ATC clearances. ATC assigned airspeeds, altitudes, and headings must be complied with in a timely manner. Autopilot coupled approaches require pilot knowledge of procedures necessary…

The pilot can expect ... being performed by the pilot, to observe and note deviations from its authorized flight path, airway, or route.

If no speed is assigned, speed becomes pilot’s discretion. However, when ... published speed on the STAR must be maintained until ATC deletes it, assigns a new speed, issues a vector, assigns a direct route, or issues an approach clearance.
