SUBJ: Dependent Converging Instrument Approaches (DCIA) with Converging Runway Display Aid (CRDA) 1. Purpose of This Order. This order defines and establishes the separation criteria and procedures for conducting Dependent Converging Instrument Approaches (DCIA) to converging intersecting and nonintersecting runways using the Converging Runway Display Aid (CRDA) during Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC). 2. Background. DCIA was developed to safely increase airport capacity during IMC at those airports with converging intersecting or non- intersecting runways. A reduction of approved separation is achieved by the use of the CRDA Tool, staggered approaches and the DCIA procedures contained in this order, while protecting for possible consecutive converging missed approaches.

3. Audience. This order applies to the following Air Traffic Organization (ATO) service units: Air Traffic Services, Mission Support Services, and System Operations; Flight Standards, Office of Airport Safety, and all associated air traffic control facilities. 4. Where Can I Find This Order? This order is available on the MyFAA employee Web site at https://employees.faa.gov/tools_resources/orders_notices/ and on the FAA Web site at http://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/orders_notices/. 5. Cancellation. This order cancels FAA Order JO 7110.110A, Dependent Converging Instrument Approaches with Converging Runway Display Aid, effective July 20, 1995. 6. Explanation of Policy Changes. This change updates the order to comply with FAA plain language guidance. It also adds procedures to conduct straight-in instrument landing system (ILS), localizer (LOC), area navigation (RNAV) global positioning system (GPS), RNAV required navigation performance (RNP) or ground based augmentation system (GBAS) landing system (GLS) approaches while removing the current wording of straight-in instrument landing system (ILS), microwave landing system (MLS), or localizer on each runway. It replaces references to decision height (DH) with approach minimums. It removes a note concerning Phase 2 operations and the normal Airport Acceptance Rate (AAR). It replaces references to instrument flight rules (IFR) with IMC. It removes the acronym “RADAR” and replaces it with air traffic control (ATC) surveillance source. It adds the Airbus A388 to the separation criteria. Finally, it changes the maximum eligible angle of convergence from 120 to 110 degrees.

2 7. Definitions.

a. Commissioning Readiness Review (CRR). A telephone conference between national, regional, and facility personnel to review the facility's readiness to proceed with the operational use of the DCIA procedure.

b. Common Point. Point of intersection of converging approaches. The common point is the runway intersection when runways intersect and the point of intersection of the extended centerlines when the runways do not intersect. This is the common point used by the CRDA software to project the ghost target. The distance from the actual aircraft to the common point is equal to the distance from the common point to the ghost target depiction on the converging runway. (See Appendix 1, Figures 4 and 5)

c. Consecutive Missed Approaches. Missed approaches by aircraft on two converging approaches occurring within 2 minutes of each other.

d. Converging Runway Display Aid. A computer software display tool designed to aid controllers in conducting instrument approaches to dependent converging runways available in all terminal automation systems.

e. Dependent Converging Instrument Approach. An approach procedure defining separation standards and criteria for conducting approaches to converging or intersecting runways with missed approach points and/or thresholds separated by less than approved minimum lateral separation. Collision and wake turbulence protection in the event of simultaneous missed approaches is provided through staggering aircraft on the two approaches as defined in this order. DCIAs enable dependent approaches to converging runways to decision heights associated with those runways.

f. Ghost Data Block (GDB). Limited data block associated with the ghost target.

g. Ghost Target. An artificial aircraft symbol whose position is the translated (x, y) position of an aircraft with respect to a reference point and a reference line onto another reference point and reference line. A ghost target can be offset relative to the aircraft producing it depending on the desired operation. (See Figures 1, 2, and Appendix 1, Figure 3)

Figure 2. Stagger with an Offset Ghost Target

h. Stagger. The difference in range from the common point between two aircraft on converging approaches.

i. Stagger Operation. The vectoring of aircraft to land in a staggered mode on one runway with those landing on the converging or intersecting runway while protecting for consecutive missed approaches on either runway.

j. Simultaneous Converging Instrument Approaches (SCIAs): An alternate procedure defining criteria and requirements for approaches to converging and intersecting runways. SCIA requirements are defined in FAA Order JO 7210.3. 8. Criteria. The criteria for conducting DCIA with CRDA to a converging runway pair are:

Air Traffic Procedures

APPENDIX 1 Dependent Converging Instrument Approaches Procedure Table 1. Purpose. This appendix establishes the stagger values for the DCIA procedure to be used for applicable runway configurations. These stagger values establish the separation required between aircraft on converging approaches for which the DCIA operation is being conducted. 2. Using the DCIA Procedure Table. The DCIA procedure can be run safely under a range of conditions and runway configurations. This range is defined in Table 1. The following lists the steps necessary to be taken by a facility to use the table.

a. Identify all the runway configurations for which the facility may use the DCIA procedure. Follow steps b through f below for each runway configuration.

b. Determine the common point for the runway configuration. Determine the distances from each runway threshold to the common point (See Figures 4 and 5).

c. Determine the approach minimums for each runway and select the larger of the two.

d. If the approach minimum is 250 feet or less, refer to Table 1A. If the approach minimum is at least 251 feet, but not higher than 500 feet, refer Table 1B. If the approach minimum is at least 501 feet, but not higher than 700 feet, refer to Table 1C.

e. Using the table selected in step d, locate the row that covers the runway configuration (for example, the combination of threshold to intersection distances determined in step b) to find the DCIA procedure to use for this configuration. The procedure is determined by the stagger value required and certain speed restrictions and/or exclusions. All of the options provide the required level of safety. The tradeoff is between the potential throughput and the severity of the restrictions. Select the option that is most operationally suitable if several options are identified. The speeds referenced in this table are indicated final approach airspeeds. Guidance concerning restricted and excepted aircraft is explained following in Appendix 1, Tables 1A, 1B, and 1C.

f. Determine the approach minimum for each runway when the glide slope is out of service. Find the larger of the two values. Repeat steps d and e to determine the DCIA procedure for this runway configuration when either glide slope is out of service. 3. Example for Use of Tables. The use of the table for determining the DCIA procedure for each candidate runway configuration is illustrated with an example for General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (KBOS). KBOS has three eligible runway configurations. They are runway 4R/33L, runway 4R/15R; and runway 22L/27. There is an instrument landing system (ILS) or localizer (LOC) on each of the paired runways and the prescribed missed approach procedures meet the criteria described in this order. The first step is to determine the runway lengths to the common point for each configuration and the approach minimum when both ILS systems are fully available (Full ILS) and when the glide slope is out of service (GS OTS). The second step is to go to Table 1A, IB, or IC, depending upon the approach minimum, and find the applicable row.

11/17/2017 JO 7110.110B

2 Airport Runways Threshold to Intersection Distance (feet) Approach Minima (Larger of the two minimums for both Runways) DCIA Rule (Table – Row)

Short Long ILS LOC Full ILS GS OTS KBOS 4R/33L 4144 5201 200 463 1A-21 1B-19 KBOS 4R/15L 3998 4144 250 562 1A-20 1C-19 KBOS 22L/27 5979 6744 443 484 1B-25 1B-25

Consider runway configuration 4R/33L. The approach minimums for the two runways for full ILS approaches are both 200 feet. The runway to intersection distances are 4,144 and 5,201 feet respectively. The DCIA rule for this configuration is found in Table 1A-Row 21. Row 21 provides 7 options from which to choose. The facility might choose option number 3 which allows a 2 NM, 5 NM, and 8 NM stagger operation with the aircraft 90 knots or less and 160 knots or greater excepted. The simplest method to handle aircraft excepted from the DCIA stagger rule is to miss a DCIA slot as described at the end of this Appendix. The 2 NM, 5 NM, and 8 NM stagger operation requires that aircraft should be staggered by 2 NM when the leading aircraft is non-heavy, by 5 NM when the leading aircraft is a heavy, and by 8 NM when the leading aircraft is an Airbus A388. For this operation, staggered means that the trailing aircraft is either 2 NM, 5 NM, or 8 NM farther from the common point than the leading aircraft when the leading aircraft reaches the threshold. NOTE- 1. The non-heavy criteria provided in Appendix 1 will ensure that a leading non-heavy aircraft will pass the common point with 1 NM or greater separation from the trailing aircraft if both aircraft execute missed approaches. 2. The heavy criteria and the A388 criteria provided in Appendix 1 will ensure that a leading heavy or Airbus A388 aircraft will pass the common point prior to a trailing aircraft with adequate wake turbulence separation before the trailing aircraft crosses the common point. The approach minimums for the runway 4R/33L would be 422 and 463 feet respectively if the glideslope on either runway 4R or runway 33L was out of service. The applicable rule would be found in Table IB. The runway to intersection distances are 4144 feet and 5201 feet respectively. The applicable procedure would be found in Row 19. Row 19 provides 4 options. The facility may determine that the first option, which permits a 2.5 NM, 5 NM, and 8 NM stagger operation and "excepts" aircraft with final approach speeds of 80 knots (kts) or less and 160 kts or greater from the 2.5 / 5 / 8 rule would always be used. The facility could identify groups by aircraft type that reflect the appropriate indicated final approach speeds. Suppose, for KBOS, aircraft with 90 kts or less final approach speed include all single engine general aviation aircraft and aircraft with 160 kts or greater final approach speed include all military fighter type aircraft. The facility directive would state that the stagger operation for runways 4R/33L would be conducted with a 2 NM, 5 NM, and 8 NM stagger rule and, when a single engine general aviation aircraft is the leading aircraft, or a fighter type aircraft is the trailing aircraft, that a DCIA slot should be missed. The

11/17/2017 JO 7110.110B

3 DCIA operation would be run with a 2.5 / 5 / 8 rule if the glide slope to either runway were out of service. The facility would repeat the process for the other two configurations.

Restricted Aircraft: Table 1 identifies restrictions with reference to final approach speeds and restricts the slower aircraft to the runway with the shorter threshold to intersection distance. This procedure is used to ensure separation is maintained if the slower leading aircraft, and a faster trailing aircraft, both execute a missed approach. The slower leading aircraft executing an approach to the runway with the shorter threshold to intersection distance ensures that the slower aircraft will cross the common point earlier in the case of a dual missed approach. A restricted aircraft landing on the runway with the longer threshold to intersection distance can be safely followed on the other runway by any aircraft with a slower final approach airspeed. Restricting an aircraft, to the runway with the shorter threshold to intersection distance, means “assign an aircraft with the specified approach speed or less to the runway with the shorter threshold to intersection distance. The faster of the two slow aircraft sequenced together can be assigned to the runway with the longer threshold to intersection distance as long as the trailing aircraft on the runway with the shorter intersection distance has speed control applied to be the slower to land." Excepted Aircraft: Certain aircraft speed groups are excepted from the reduced DCIA separations identified in Table 1. Those excepted aircraft must be sequenced by any one of the following methods: Method 1: Miss or skip an appropriate DCIA slot on the other approach when the excepted aircraft is involved. The slot to be missed is the "trailing" slot on the other approach when the aircraft involved is slow (120 kts or less) and a leading slot on the other approach when the aircraft involved is fast (160 kts or greater). Method 2: The DCIA slot can be missed more efficiently by sequencing the excepted aircraft in trail. An excepted aircraft which is slow (120 kts or less) should be sequenced so that the next aircraft to land is landing on the same runway. A fast aircraft (160 kts or greater) should be sequenced so that the previous aircraft lands on the same runway. Method 3: In most cases, a DCIA slot will not be required to be missed to accommodate excepted aircraft. The spacing required by the DCIA operation can be assured by simply providing an extra stagger as identified in the last column of Table 1. The restricting of a certain speed group on the shorter intersection distance runway must be observed. Provide the slightly larger stagger, identified in the last column in Table 1, when the excepted aircraft is a slow leading or a fast trailing aircraft. For example, suppose the applicable procedure was Row 3 in Table 1A. The DCIA procedure for this geometry requires a stagger of 2 NM, 5 NM, and 8 NM, excludes aircraft of 80 kts or less, and those of 160 kts or greater from the 2 / 5 / 8 rule. The last column of Table 1A requires that when either of these types of aircraft are involved a stagger of 2.5 NM is used to provide adequate DCIA separation.

Operational Application It is understood that the facility may employ stagger values larger than the minimum required by this order in order to facilitate an operation suitable for the configuration. Examples of factors that may necessitate the use of larger staggers are simplicity and robustness of the operation, departures, and runway separation with respect to the intersection.

11/17/2017 JO 7110.110B

6 Regardless of the stagger values used in the operation, the pair involved in a DCIA operation is always preceded and followed by other aircraft and other DCIA pairs. Facilities may wish to include material in controller training that enables controllers to understand this aspect.

Air Traffic Procedures

Table 1-A. DCIA Procedure for Published Approach Minimums (250 feet or less) The stagger rule (x / y / z) means a minimum of “x” NM stagger behind non-heavy aircraft, “y” NM stagger behind a heavy aircraft, and “z” NM stagger behind A388 aircraft when the leading aircraft is at the runway threshold. For example, (2 / 5 / 8) means 2 NM stagger behind a non-heavy aircraft, 5 NM stagger behind a heavy aircraft, and 8 NM stagger behind an A388 aircraft.

15 Table 1-B. DCIA Procedure for Published Approach Minimums (At least 251 feet up to and including 500 feet) The stagger rule (x / y / z) means a minimum of “x” NM stagger behind non-heavy aircraft, “y” NM stagger behind a heavy aircraft, and “z” NM stagger behind A388 aircraft when the leading aircraft is at the runway threshold. For example, (2 / 5 / 8) means 2 NM stagger behind a non-heavy aircraft, 5 NM stagger behind a heavy aircraft, and 8 NM stagger behind an A388 aircraft.

Air Traffic Procedures

APPENDIX 2 Training: Facility managers electing to use the DCIA/CRDA concept must develop and administer classroom and laboratory training (e.g., ATCoach/ETG) consistent with locally established DCIA/CRDA programs. The number of scenario problems, and the length of time on simulation equipment, must be determined by the facility manager. CRDA is a tool resident in all terminal automation platforms. CRDA training has been incorporated into the Air Traffic Operator Training Manuals for all automation platforms and is considered part of the field qualification training program. Due to site specificity of the program, nationally developed lesson plans will not be developed. Suggested lesson plan content should include:

1. A review of FAA Order JO 7110.110B, Dependent Converging Instrument Approaches (DCIA) with Converging Runway Display Aid (CRDA).

2. Locally adapted procedures for each runway that include missed approaches and coordination procedures between control personnel.

3. Locally developed training scenarios that provide instruction on the use of CRDA, including ghost targets and staggered approaches.

4. Techniques for “hitting the ghosts” (the desired outcome is stagger over the threshold, not separation with respect to a ghost all along approach) and dealing with winds (the ghost target shows the speed of the parent aircraft on the converging approach, which is subject to the wind field on that approach. This may be different from the wind field on its own approach.)

5. Techniques for understanding the fact that in spacing on or from a ghost, one must always remain aware of the separation required from the next aircraft in the flow.

11/17/2017 JO 7110.110B

2 APPENDIX 3 Examples of Responsibilities: a. The CRDA Implementation Manager must:

1. Oversee operational implementation of CRDA.

2. Coordinate individual implementation goals (for example, spacing, items to be documented, etc.) with the Operations Manager (OM) or Front Line Manager-in-Charge (FLMIC).

3. Inform the OM/FLMIC of the current step-down weather and spacing minima for the operation in use.

b. The OM or FLMIC must:

1. Ensure CRDA is used whenever operational and weather conditions permit.

2. Inform the appropriate FLMs, controller-in-charge (CIC) and Traffic Management Coordinator (TMC) of appropriate step-down minima in use for the given phase.

c. The TRACON FLM/CIC or TMC (if applicable) must:

1. Advise Tower FLM/CIC when initiating/terminating CRDA operations. Include the aircraft identification of the first and last aircraft in the stagger.

2. Enable CRDA operation via ARTS/ STARS keyboard entry.

3. Ensure all operating positions are aware of the appropriate stagger separation in use for the given operation.

d. The Tower FLM/ CIC must:

1. Ensure the ATIS states "Dependent converging approaches to Runway (number) and Runway (number) in use" during DCIA operations.

2. Advise OM, FLMIC or TMC when weather conditions are such that Local Control will be unable to provide visual separation between aircraft on converging finals.
