Differences related to Annex 11,DOC 4444 and DOC 7030:
 

Following Lateral Separation Minimas are being applied by the Colombo ATC:
 

Lateral Separation between two aircraft exists when;
      a)  VOR/DME
 

         Both aircraft must have reported established on radials at least 15 DEG apart.
 

         i)   Aircraft diverge and at least one aircraft is 15NM  away from the DME station.(a)
 

                      

 

                                       

                                                                                        (a)
 

       ii). Aircraft converge and one aircraft is at least 30NM from VOR/DME.(b)
 

                                           

                                                                                        (b)
 

    iii). One aircraft inbound and the other outbound from the VOR/DME provided that at least one of the aircraft is 30NM  or more from the station
 

                             

                                              
 

    b)    VOR

 

          Both aircraft must have reported established on radials at least 15 DEG apart:
 

          i). Aircraft diverge and at least one aircraft is 15NM away from the VOR
 

                      

                             
          ii).  Aircraft converge and at least one aircraft is 30NM from the VOR.
 

                          

                                           
        iii). One aircraft inbound and the other outbound from the VOR provided that at least one aircraft is 30NM away from the station.
 

             

                                          

          C) NDB
 

             Both aircraft are established on tracks to or from the NDB which are diverging by at least 30 DEG   
 

              i. Aircraft diverge and at least one aircraft is 15NM away from the NDB
 

                            

                                              
 

             ii. Aircraft converge and at least one aircraft 30NM away from the NDB.
 

                      

                                              
 

           iii. One aircraft inbound and the other outbound from the NDB provided that at least one aircraft is  30NM away from the station
 

                               

                                                 
 

          Note - If a pilot reports that he suspects the accuracy of the NDB indications these separations shall not be used
 

Lateral Separation between aircraft departing from KATUNAYAKE/Bandaranaike Intl.  Airport  Colombo (BIAC ) and traffic established on the 15  DME ‘KAT’ Arc for ILS  DME   Approach RWY 22

 

    I.   Lateral separation shall be deemed to exist, when a departing aircraft is established on a specific radial from KAT and an DME      Arc for the ILS on runway 22,is crossing a radial whose angular difference with the departure is 20 DEG or more and increasing.
 

         (ii)    Even if / when the angular difference as mentioned in (i) above is 20 DEG  or more at any stage but in a decreasing manner, the two aircraft shall be deemed as separated when the departing traffic has reported 30 DME established on the specific radial.
 

Lateral Separation between outbound tracks and KAT/VOR holding pattern for 04/22
 

KAT/VOR hold for both 04 and 22 shall be deemed separated laterally as follows:
 

     a)     FL150 and below,  30 DME from KAT for all tracks on the holding side of the VOR hold and 15 DME  from KAT on the non holding side  of the VOR DME hold.
 

     b)    FL 160 to FL 460, 40 DME from KAT for all tracks on the holding side of the VOR hold and 30 DME from KAT on the non holding side of the VOR DME hold.
 

      Note  :  10 DME hold and KAT hold 04/22 are not laterally separated
 

The lateral separation for departing traffic on Runway 22 BIAC and the Holding Fix (10 DME Fix) defined for ILS/DME Approach RWY 22 at BIAC.
 

Traffic holding over '10 DME Fix' and departing traffic on runway 22 BIAC are laterally separated when the departing aircraft is within radials 2660R and 1760R.
 

( *)  NOTE: Please note that 2050 R KAT replaces this limiting Radial of 1760 R KAT in order to ensure  Avoidance of Colombo City Restricted Area  VCR26   UFN.
