NM radius drawn at:

(a)         the departure point;

(b)         the FL200 predicted position; and

(c)          the FL600 predicted position.

10.11.3.4     The predicted track must be redrawn using the FL200 actual position, and must incorporate and updated track information.

10.11.4         Manned Balloon Operations

10.11.4.1     Balloons must be separated from other airspace users, and issued relevant information at all altitudes according to the classification of airspace in which the balloon is flown.

10.11.4.2     Separation requirements that apply to aircraft weighing less than 5,700 KG must also apply to balloons.

10.11.4.3     Passing traffic information on other balloons within an authorised formation is not required.

10.11.5         Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)

10.11.5.1     Unmanned Aerial Vehicles must be separated from other aircraft using the separation standards applicable to manned aircraft when:

(a)         capable of presenting real time navigational information using approved navigation systems; and

(b)         continuous two way communications is maintained between the operator and the ATC unit.

10.11.6         ACAS/TCAS Resolution Advisory Action

10.11.6.1     Once the aircraft has begun a manoeuvre in response to an Resolution Advisory (RA), the controller is not responsible for providing separation between the aircraft that is responding to a RA and any other aircraft, airspace, terrain or obstruction.

10.11.6.2     If an aircraft advises that it is responding to an ACAS/TCAS RA, ATC shall:

(a)         not issue instructions that contradict those issued by the RA;

(b)         issue safety alerts; and

(c)          provide relevant traffic information as appropriate.

10.11.6.3     Responsibility for separation resumes when separation is re-established after:

(a)         the responding aircraft has returned to its assigned level;

(b)         the aircraft advises that the ACAS/TCAS manoeuvre is completed; or

(c)          the responding aircraft has executed an alternate clearance.

10.11.7         Unspecified Operations

10.11.7.1     Separation requirements from operations for which standards have not been specified must be:

(a)         distributed by NOTAM; or

(b)         determined through direct liaison with the affected ATS unit.

10.11.7.2     The following buffers must be added to the parameters of the operations:

(a)         1 NM buffer to the notified geographical coordinates of the activity;

(b)         15 MIN before and after the notified time of the activity;

(c)          at least 500 FT to the maximum notified altitude of the activity.

Section 10.12:   Separation Standards—Wake Turbulence

10.12.1         Interpretation

10.12.1.1     In this section, the following applies:

(a)         for lateral extent, when applying wake turbulence separation, directly behind means that an aircraft is operating within 760 m of the flight path of the aircraft in front of it.

(b)         intermediate part — ICAO PANS-ATM, of a runway, including of a parallel runway separated from the runway by less than 760 m, means a point more than 150 m after the take-off commencement point of the preceding aircraft using the runway or the parallel runway.
