It is the responsibility of RAD/APP to provide releases for IFR traffic that ensure separation between departing aircraft (see Approach Control – Outbound Procedures). In the absence of APP, or a controller providing radar services, aircraft may depart with a 2-minute departure interval, reduced to 1-minute when the initial route diverges by 45° or greater.

Wake turbulence separation is to be applied in accordance with MATS Part 1 (CAP 493).

Departure Hand-off Order¶

All departures are to be transferred to RAD/APP (122.605) once aerodrome conflictions are resolved, unless otherwise notified by APC.

In the absence of RAD/APP IFR departures are to be transferred in accordance with the following priority orders. The radiotelephony callsign is “Scottish Control” for all the below area control positions.
