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…

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. Aircraft will normally be informed when it is necessary to vector across the final approach course for spacing or other…

Technique On final approach, at the recommended approach airspeed and at approximately 300 feet AGL, the helicopter should be on the correct ground track (or ground alignment) for the intended landing site, but the axis of the helicopter does ... have to be aligned until about 50-100 feet AGL to facilitate a controlled approach.
