16 Separation

Stacking

16.52 Approach Sequence. Where more than one aircraft is arriving it is normal for the aircraft at the lowest altitude to land first. Where necessary, a holding pattern will be established for ‘stacking’ of aircraft waiting to start the approach. Under certain circumstances, a later arrival will be given priority over earlier arrivals. Such circumstances are:

 

Where an aircraft is compelled to land because of factors affecting the safety of the

 

 

aeroplane or the occupants. In this case, the PIC of the aircraft involved will be expected to

 

 

declare an emergency using either “MAYDAY” or “PAN PAN” procedures;

 

Hospital aircraft or aircraft carrying sick or seriously injured people. International hospital

 

 

flights will prefix initial RTF with “PAN PAN MEDICAL”;

 

• Aircraft engaged in SAR operations;

 

• Other aircraft as may be determined by the authority.

 

16.53 Procedure. It is normal for ‘stacks’ to be established on the radio navigation beacons

 

serving as the IAF for the instrument procedures to be used. The vertical size of the stack may

 

be limited by airspace considerations and when full, ‘overspill’ stacks would be established on

 

remote beacons. Arriving aircraft will be cleared into the stack at the lowest available level.

 

Normal holding pattern joining procedures are used. Aircraft will be cleared to commence the

 

instrument procedure from the lowest holding altitude (the bottom of the stack) using timed

 

arrival procedures. If a pilot states his/her intention to continue holding awaiting a weather

 

improvement when other pilots wish to make an instrument approach, the holding pilot will be

 

instructed to take up another holding pattern or directed to rejoin the hold at the top. If a pilot

16

elects to attempt an instrument approach when others remain in the hold, an unsuccessful

 

Separation

approach would result in the aircraft being directed back into the stack at the top.

 

 

16.54 Expected Approach Time (EAT). When an aircraft enters a stack the controlling ATCO will pass an EAT which must be acknowledged by the pilot. This will be the time that the pilot can expect to commence the instrument approach. Initially the EAT will not be less than 30 minutes after the time of entry. If it is expected that the aircraft will not be held for more than 20 minutes, the pilot will be informed “no delay expected”. As the approach sequence progresses, if necessary the EAT will be revised by 5 minute intervals, passed to the pilot and acknowledged.

16.55 En Route Holding. It is often preferred to hold an aircraft en route at cruising altitude, rather than to progress the flight to the terminal stage and hold at low level with high fuel burn rates. Where delays are known to exist and aircraft are held en route, credit will be given for time spent holding en route by inserting the aircraft into the approach sequence ahead of other aircraft so that the aircraft that has held en route is not penalized.

Should an en route aircraft be instructed by ATC to take up a hold while en route, this may necessitate basing the hold over a non-standard holding point (a town, a point of latitude and longitude, a significant point along the route) – i.e. not over an authorized navigational aid over which a recognized hold is based. In this case, unless otherwise instructed, the aircraft should take up a right-hand hold.
