CS ADR-DSN.D.260Taxiway minimum separation distance
(a)The safety objective of minimum taxi separation distances is to allow safe use of taxiways and aircraft stand taxilanes to prevent possible collision with other aeroplanes operating on adjacent runways or taxiways, or collision with adjacent objects.
(b)The separation distance between the centre line of a taxiway and the centre line of a runway, the centre line of a parallel taxiway or an object should not be less than the appropriate dimension specified in Table D-1.
| Distance between taxiway centre line and runway centre line (metres) | Taxiway centre line to taxiway centre line (metres) | Taxiway, other than aircraft stand taxilane, centre line to object (metres) | Aircraft stand taxilane centre line to aircraft stand taxilane centre line (metres) | Aircraft stand taxilane centre line to object (metres) | |||||||||

Note 2: The distances in columns (2) to (9) do not guarantee sufficient clearance behind a holding aeroplane to permit the passing of another aeroplane on a parallel taxiway. | |||||||||||||
