Deployment Scenario Title

Efficient aircraft separation during take-off and final approach

Deployment Scenario Description Efficient aircraft separation during take-off and final approach: this deployment scenario addresses solutions aimed at optimising wake turbulence separation minima for arrivals and departures, to increase airport runway throughput by exploiting wake separation reductions based on weather, static aircraft characteristics, ATCO separation delivery support tools, wake risk monitoring and awareness functions (ground and airborne), wake vortex decay enhancing devices and minimum pair-wise separations based on required surveillance performance.
