Each country sets its own standards for the separation between runways required for parallel approaches. In the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration dictates that airports must have at least 3,000 feet (910 m) between runways, [1] though it can grant special permission to conduct parallel approaches with less separation if deemed necessary.

The primary purpose of ATC worldwide is to prevent collisions, organise and expedite the flow of traffic in the air, and provide information and other support for pilots.
