## GM1 to AMC7 ATS.TR.220 Application of wake turbulence separation

APPLICATION OF RECAT-EU WAKE TURBULENCE SEPARATION SCHEME

(a) The implementation of RECAT-EU or parts thereof is considered to be a change to the air traffic services provider functional system and, as such, is supported by a safety assessment, in accordance with ATS.OR.205. Any such implementation should provide clear operational benefits.

(b) While the ICAO flight plan remains unchanged, the RECAT-EU wake vortex aircraft grouping should be displayed to air traffic controllers using the associated aircraft type information available in the flight data processing system.

(c) A list of aircraft types for each RECAT-EU aircraft grouping, in particular with respect to new aircraft types, is maintained by EASA and is available at https\://www\.easa.europa.eu/easa-and-you/air-traffic-management#group-easa-downloads.
