2 ICAO Wake Turbulence Separation Minima

2.1 General

The standard ICAO separation minima shall be applied to all airports within the Arabian FIRs except as provided in 3.1.

2.2 Departures (time-based separation)

2.2.1 Successive full-length departures

Follower	SUPER	HEAVY	MEDIUM	LIGHT
Leader
SUPER	*	120s 2 min	180s 3 min	180s 3 min
HEAVY	*	*	120s 2min	120s 2 min
MEDIUM	*	*	*	120s 2 min
LIGHT	*	*	*	*
* No wake turbulence separation requirement

2.2.2 Departure from an intermediate point following departure from full-length

Follower	SUPER	HEAVY	MEDIUM	LIGHT
