10.10.3         Separating Approaching Aircraft Beyond Tower View

10.10.3.1     Two approaching aircraft are deemed to be separated while the second approaching aircraft is on final approach beyond the view of the tower controller if, before commencing such final approach, the first approaching aircraft:

(a)         has been sighted by the tower controller, there is reasonable assurance that a landing can be accomplished, and it is clear that no confliction will occur; or

(b)         has reported commencing a missed approach, and is proceeding from a point and on a clearance such that separation could readily be maintained should the second approaching aircraft miss its approach.

10.10.3.2     Unless cleared at or before passing 10 NM from the aerodrome, this form of separation is not acceptable and another must be provided.

Section 10.11:   Separation Standards—Miscellaneous

10.11.1         Parachute Jumping Exercise (PJE)

10.11.1.1     Separation between aircraft involved in PJE at the same drop zone is the responsibility of the pilots of the PJE aircraft. Separation between PJE aircraft and the parachutist is the sole responsibility of the pilots of the PJE aircraft.

10.11.1.2     ATC must provide traffic information to PJE aircraft, and, except in Class E or G airspace, apply separation between parachutists and non-PJE aircraft.

9.1.6.4              In Class E airspace, ATC must also provide traffic information to IFR non-PJE aircraft about PJE aircraft.

10.11.1.3     Where two or more PJE Drop Zones are located in close proximity and parachute operators have mutually agreed to accept self-separation, ATC is required to pass only traffic information to the participating operators. A participating pilot may request a separation service, but must continue to self-separate until ATC is satisfied that a separation standard has been achieved, and can be maintained. Agreements established between parachute operators to self-separate must be documented in ATS Local Instructions.

10.11.2         Limitations and Extensions – PJE

10.11.2.1     For separation purposes, ATC must base separation on the fact that the parachutist will be dropped within a 1 NM radius of the target. If an extension of this area is necessary, the pilot must advise ATS of the distance and direction this extension is required. The navigational tolerance area must be extended in the advised direction until receipt of advice that the drop is completed. These requirements should be reiterated in any briefing.

10.11.2.2     Where parachutists agree to remain to one side of a defined line feature, and the target is set at least 200 M away from the closest point of the line feature, the navigational tolerance area of the parachutists may be reduced to the line feature. The line feature may only be used when the
