@Mogwi :
I am amazed at the incompetence of the local controller.
Nice for her to read that kind of judgement,
Back to the applicable US regulations here regarding simultaneous OPS on runways separated by less that 2500ft. I have been looking at the FAA doc but under visual approaches/visual separation below 2500 it always mentions to keep visual to the
preceeding traffic on the parallel APP. which would imply the approaches should be staggered as we do in rest of the world. Can someone points me out to the text with the procedure that allows parallel side-by -side approaches in these circumstances.? ( what we call independent parallel approaches in ICAOese)
Just curious.
