03/01/2024 JO 7110.663A a. Ghost Target Data Block. Limited data block associated with the ghost target (see Figure 1). b. Ghost Target. An artificial aircraft symbol (see Figure 1) whose position is the translated (x, y) position of an aircraft with respect to a reference point and a reference line (or path) onto another reference point and reference line (or path). Note: The position symbol of the ghost target is site adaptable and will not be a slant. c. Parent Aircraft. Aircraft used to generate ghost target. Figure 1. Ghost Target and Data Block Information 8. Allowable uses of CRDA during sequencing of flights on merging, converging, or parallel routes. a. CRDA is a planning or reference tool for use when applying separation. The provisions of FAA Order JO 7110.65, Air Traffic Control, or orders establishing separation (such as FAA Order JO 7110.110 for DCIAs), or orders or waivers for use during Established on RNP (EoR) operations, apply during the use of CRDA. b. CRDA may be used on any merging, converging, or parallel route, including, but not limited to: (1) Between a curved path approach (or conventional downwind) and the same runway straight-in approach (Fig 2). (2) Between merging/crossing arrival routes, e.g. STARs (Fig 3). 2

03/01/2024 JO 7110.663A (3) Between merging approach transitions to the same and/or parallel runways (Fig 4). (4) Between departure routes from different airports that merge at the same fix (Fig 5). (5) Between crossing routes (Fig 6). Figure 2. Example of a Merge on Final - Curved Path (RNP) 3
