GM1 to AMC7 ATS.TR.220 Application of wake turbulence separation

APPLICATION OF RECAT-EU WAKE TURBULENCE SEPARATION SCHEME

(a)The implementation of RECAT-EU or parts thereof is considered to be a change to the air traffic services provider functional system and, as such, is supported by a safety assessment, in accordance with ATS.OR.205. Any such implementation should provide clear operational benefits.

(b)While the ICAO flight plan remains unchanged, the RECAT-EU wake vortex aircraft grouping should be displayed to air traffic controllers using the associated aircraft type information available in the flight data processing system.

(c)A list of aircraft types for each RECAT-EU aircraft grouping, in particular with respect to new aircraft types, is maintained by EASA and is available at https://www.easa.europa.eu/easa-and-you/air-traffic-management#group-easa-downloads.
