SERA.8005(b) GM1 Operation of air traffic control service
CLEARANCES TO MAINTAIN OWN SEPARATION
Clearances for a pilot to maintain own separation in respect of a specific portion of the flight in
airspace Classes D and E below 3 050 m (10 000 ft) during climb or descent, during day in visual
meteorological conditions are based on the fact that in those airspace classes a speed restriction of
250 kt is applied to all flights, allowing pilots of both aircraft to observe other flights in time to avoid
collision.

SERA.8010 Separation minima
(a) The selection of separation minima for application within a given portion of airspace shall
be made by the ANSP responsible for the provision of air traffic services and approved by
the competent authority concerned.
(b) For traffic that will pass from one into the other of neighbouring airspaces and for routes
that are closer to the common boundary of the neighbouring airspaces than the separation
minima applicable in the circumstances, the selection of separation minima shall be made
in consultation between the ANSPs responsible for the provision of air traffic services in
neighbouring airspace.
(c) Details of the selected separation minima and of their areas of application shall be notified:
(1) to the air traffic services units concerned; and
(2) to pilots and aircraft operators through aeronautical information publications, where
separation is based on the use by aircraft of specified navigation aids or specified
navigation techniques.
SERA.8010(b) GM1 Separation minima
GENERAL
The purpose of this provision is to ensure, in the first case, compatibility on both sides of the line of
transfer of traffic and, in the other case, adequate separation between aircraft operating on both sides
of the common boundary.
SERA.8012 Application of wake turbulence separation
(a) Wake turbulence separation minima shall be applied to aircraft in the approach and
departure phases of flight under the following circumstances:
(1) an aircraft is operating directly behind another aircraft at the same altitude or less
than 300 m (1 000 ft) below it; or
(2) both aircraft are using the same runway or parallel runways separated by less than
760 m (2 500 ft); or
(3) an aircraft is crossing behind another aircraft at the same altitude or less than 300 m
(1 000 ft) below it.
