simultaneous Approaches in KLIA

Sayap-patah quoted "The air traffic in Jakarta (soekarno Hatta) now increase by 87% within 2 years, they are using both runway for take off and landing, not like in Sepang Kuala Lumpur while they are too afraid to use those kind of policy," Unquote
KLIA is not using simultaneous approach for a simple reason called safety.
An equipment called NTZ alarm is not available at the Approach Control.
It has nothing to do with being afraid because if fear is the yardstick in managing air traffic, then none of us would ever have applied for this lovely career. It's all about being wise at work and being safety concious at all times.
Even without this NTZ alarm, we still cater for those who request simultaneous approaches using a side-step method. It is because of numerous complaints from departing acft that we refrain from using side-step as much as possible.
Until and unless the NTZ alarm is fixed. KUL Ctlers will not apply simultaneous approaches.Traffic volume has increased in South East Asia. I am sure you would agree with me brother. KUL and JKT has a good rapport as far as ATC is concerned. .Cheers from Lumpur Ctl.Terima kasih Pak dan Ibu.
