I have a question regarding AMC6 ATS.TR.220 Application of wake turbulence separation.
It states the distance-based wake turbulence separation minima that are to be applied to aircraft being provided with an ATS surveillance service in the approach and departure phases of flight. These values in part seem to differ from PANS-ATM (Chapter 8, 8.7.3.4).
For example for a Heavy following a Super, PANS-ATM prescribes 5.0 NM where the AMC6 ATS.TR.220 prescribes 6.0 NM.
Does anybody know what the reason for this difference is and whether it is intentional?
I could not find anything in the rulemaking documentation (Explanatory Notes, Opinions, CRDs, etc.).
