* 700 ft < Closely Spaced Parallel Runways (CSPR) < 4300 ft * Simultaneous arrivals to CSPR are permissible when visual approaches can be conducted and visual separation can be provided by flight crew - For runways < 2500 ft apart, flight crew must be aware of and avoid wake encounters * When visual approaches cannot be conducted, instrument approach procedures are utilized - Reduce airport capacity because of increased separation needed to compensate for surveillance uncertainty and having a controller in the loop. * FAA's Improved Multiple Runway Operations portfolio has implemented simultaneous dependent approaches for CSPR < 2500 ft as defined in FAA Order 7110.308C - Lead aircraft restricted to certain wake categories - o e.g., for KSFO .308 operations must be D (except B757), E, or F - Separation is reduced to 1 NM * Paired Approach concept has been developed to more closely emulate visual approaches under IMC - Applies to a wider range of wake categories.
