insert
10.4.2.1 In this section, ICAO Doc.4444 has the meaning given by section 3.02.
10.4.2.2 Despite paragraph 1.1.6.1 (f) and subsection 10.1.1.1, paragraph 6.7.3.2.4 of ICAO Doc. 4444, and any successor provision with a different paragraph number, as in force from time to time, does not apply in relation to independent parallel approaches.
10.4.2.3 Independent parallel approaches may be conducted to parallel runways if:
(a) when vectoring an aircraft, the final vector:
(i) enables the aircraft to intercept the final approach course or track at an angle not greater than 30 degrees; and
(ii) provides at least 1 NM straight flight before the interception; and
(b) the aircraft’s descent to the intercept altitude of the appropriate glide path or vertical path for the selected instrument approach procedure is cleared soon enough to provide a period of level flight to dissipate excess aircraft speed.
