Overview
TP 15687 Closely Spaced Parallel Operations and Precision Runway Monitor Approaches – A Pilot’s Training Guide provides pilots with a clear understanding of the procedural and operational aspects involved in conducting Simultaneous Independent Parallel Instrument Approaches – Closely Spaced Parallel Operations (CSPO) / Precision Runway Monitor (PRM) at Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ). Developed collaboratively by NAV CANADA and Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), this publication describes the air traffic control procedures, communication requirements, and breakout protocols applicable to CSPO/PRM operations.
Who this guide is for
Simultaneous close parallel approach operations apply to runways spaced at least 3000 feet apart but less than 4300 feet apart. Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International airport (CYYZ) will be initiating CSPO using Precision Runway Monitor (PRM) approach procedures. During runway 15/33 operations at CYYZ, PRM approaches will be available to help improve traffic management. This guide provides specific information that can be used to supplement pilot training prior to operating into CYYZ during times when PRM operations are in progress.
