7110.65P 2/19/045−5−4. MINIMASeparate aircraft by the following minima:NOTE−Wake turbulence procedures specify increased separationminima required for certain classes of aircraft because ofthe possible effects of wake turbulence.a. Broadband Radar System or Full DigitalTerminal Radar System:NOTE−Includes single sensor long range radar mode.1. When less than 40 miles from the antenna− 3 miles.2. When 40 miles or more from the antenna− 5 miles.b. Stage A/DARC, MEARTS Mosaic Mode,Terminal Mosaic/Multi−Sensor Mode:NOTE−Mosaic/Multi−Sensor Mode combines radar input from 2to 16 sites into a single picture utilizing a mosaic gridcomposed of radar sort boxes.1. Below FL 600− 5 miles.2. At or above FL 600− 10 miles.3. For areas meeting all of the followingconditions:(a) Radar site adaptation is set to singlesensor.(b) Significant operational advantages can beobtained.(c) Within 40 miles of the antenna.(d) Below FL 180.(e) Facility directives specifically define thearea where the separation can be applied. Facilitydirectives may specify 3 miles.REFERENCE−FAAO 7210.3, Single Site Coverage Stage A Operations, Para 8−2−1.FAAO 7210.3, Single Site Coverage ATTS Operations, Para 11−8−15.4. When transitioning from terminal to en routecontrol, 3 miles increasing to 5 miles or greater,provided:(a) The aircraft are on diverging routes/courses, and/or(b) The leading aircraft is and will remainfaster than the following aircraft; and(c) Separation constantly increasing and thefirst center controller will establish 5 NM or otherappropriate form of separation prior to the aircraftdeparting the first center sector; and(d) The procedure is covered by a letter ofagreement between the facilities involved and limitedto specified routes and/or sectors/positions.c. MEARTS Mosaic Mode:NOTE−1. Sensor Mode displays information from the radar inputof a single site.2. Procedures to convert MEARTS Mosaic Mode toMEARTS Sensor Mode at each PVD/MDM will beestablished by facility directive.1. When less than 40 miles from the antenna−3 miles.2. When 40 miles or more from the antenna−5 miles.d. STARS Multi−Sensor Mode:NOTE−1. In Multi−Sensor Mode, STARS displays targets as filledand unfilled boxes, depending upon the target’s distancefrom the radar site providing the data. Since there ispresently no way to identify which specific site is providingdata for any given target, utilize separation standards fortargets 40 or more miles from the antenna.2. When operating in STARS Single Sensor Mode, if TRKappears in the data block, handle in accordance withpara 5−3−7, Identification Status, subpara b, and takeappropriate steps to establish nonradar separation.3. TRK appears in the data block whenever the aircraft isbeing tracked by a radar site other than the radar currentlyselected. Current equipment limitations preclude a targetfrom being displayed in the single sensor mode; however,a position symbol and data block, including altitudeinformation, will still be displayed. Therefore, low altitudealerts shall be provided in accordance with para 2−1−6,Safety Alert.WAKE TURBULENCE APPLICATIONe. Separate aircraft operating directly behind, ordirectly behind and less than 1,000 feet below, orfollowing an aircraft conducting an instrumentapproach by:NOTE−Consider parallel runways less than 2,500 feet apart as asingle runway because of the possible effects of waketurbulence.5−5−2Radar Separation
