# Sydney: Separation

> Sydney: Separation: frequencies, local rules and operational references.

Separation at Sydney (YSSY).

## Reduced Runway Separation

When conditions permit, the 2400m separation standard for landing aircraft may be applied to aircraft arriving Runway 16R/34L.

* 2400m separation standard for landing aircraft

## SODPROPS

When using the SODPROPS mode, pass traffic information to aircraft that are departing and landing at the same time.

Ensure the ATIS is updated to reflect the SODPROPS runway mode.

## Parallel Runway Operations

Refer to Parallel Runway Separation Standards for more information

* Parallel Runway Separation Standards

## Go-arounds / Missed Approaches

When operating under PROPS, go around headings shall diverge from the extended centreline of the parallel runway by at least 30°. Aircraft cleared the ILS or IVA may follow the published missed approach in order to meet this requirement.

Go arounds / missed approaches shall be coordinated with the SY TCU as per the standard procedure. Following a go around, coordination is required prior to the next departure from that runway.
