  separation in lieu of vertical separation. (b) After release to approach control, aircraft are vectored to the final approach course (ILS, RNAV, GLS, VOR, ADF, etc.). Radar vectors and altitude or flight levels will be issued as required for spacing ... issued by approach control. Aircraft will normally be informed when it is necessary to vector across the final approach course for spacing or other reasons.
