Thanks!

No - you cannot *assume* this because what if a heavy (e.g. B773) is taking off on an empty repositioning flight, and an A321 is taking off on a max take-off weight from the opposite end.

As before - the question needs to be "will the *flight* paths cross - if so then wake separation timings must be applied.

Hope this helps!
