Spitoon,

That section is also correct. We have to remember that all of these standards are a minimum, and do not stand by themselves.

There have been many issues with timing standard, with the ac running up on the leader, and violating min separation.

So the short of it is, both apply.

Denti,
In regards to the supers, there are references and addenda to the document to account for these, currently I know of A380, B747-8, and B787 all have 10nm min sep.
