This would most likely result in a separation matrix that would include eight weight
categories , A - H, and the use of time - based separation that currently exists in the
7110.65. A national standard would negate the need for waivers that are currently issued
at some non - R ecat fac ilities underlying a TRACON using Wake Recat, simplify the four
different standards currently in use and be as safe as what is currently in place.
AJV - 8 and NATCA will be visiting Wake Recat facilities in northern and southern
California in November to di scuss post implementation issues. A jointly developed
survey will be available for all controllers to participate in and the information generated
by the survey will be used in future Wake Recat implementations. I will be visiting NCT,
SFO, OAK, SJC, and SMF t he week of November 6 and SCT, SAN, LAX, SNA, ONT,
and BUR the week of November 27. It will be a great opportunity to discuss what has
worked and what concerns you have with Wake Recat.
