Can anyone in the know, throw some light on this RRSM with regard to aircraft category i.e. Super, Heavy, Medium.


Thanks in advance

RRSM has little to do with category, its all to do with visibility and passing a set point on runway. Aircraft category is taken in to account by vortex spacing on arrival or departure. I.e with any thing, other than another Super, following a super on arrival you're not likely to us RRSM because of the large vortex gap behind. Super Super yes going to be close together so RRSM will be used when VMC.
I am not tower at DXB so perhaps a VCR controller can go into more?
Hope that helps.

RRSM is a standard ICAO procedure & not specific to Dubai. Wake Turbulence minima will always come 1st. Is it departure or arrival specifically you are asking about?
