A combined team of representatives comprising the most senior procedure designers from the Dubai CAA has visited the ASAP offices in Slovakia for two weeks. The team worked closely with the ASAP team to develop instrument flight procedures that will facilitate independent parallel runway operations.
Dubai CAA and Aeronautical Services And
Procedures (ASAP) cooperate on new instrument flight procedures
The Dubai Civil Aviation Authority is
committed to increasing capacity at Dubai international airport by fully
utilising the parallel runway configuration at the airport. In this regard
Dubai CAA need to implement efficient independent arrival and departure flight
procedures for the two runways as opposed to the present situation where
operations on one runway are dependent on the operations on the other runway.
Such a situation when implemented will greatly increase capacity and reduce
controller workload without compromising Dubai’s exemplary safety record.
Mr. Whitworth the Managing Director
of ASAP said “This shows great forethought on behalf of the Dubai CAA by
putting together two experienced instrument procedure design teams from Dubai
and ASAP in one room with one goal”
A representative from the Dubai CAA
team said “To develop safe instrument procedures in such an obstacle rich
environment as the Dubai TMA has been a challenge to the entire combined team.
However I am confident of a successful outcome especially with the wealth of
experience provided by the ASAP instrument procedure designers”.
