MATS Part 1:
19.4 When aircraft are using the same runway, a landing aircraft may be permitted to
touch down before a preceding landing aircraft which has landed is clear of the
runway provided that:
(1) the runway is long enough to allow safe separation between the two aircraft
and there is no evidence to indicate that braking may be adversely affected;
(2) it is during daylight hours;
(3) the preceding landing aircraft is not required to backtrack in order to vacate
the runway;
(4) the controller is satisfied that the landing aircraft will be able to see the
preceding aircraft which has landed, clearly and continuously, until it has
vacated the runway; and
(5) the pilot of the following aircraft is warned. Responsibility for ensuring
adequate separation rests with the pilot of the following aircraft.
