EWR Traffic Management Tips

Land Depart AAR Notes
ILS 4R 4L Low IFR 28-34
  • Ceilings or Visibility restricted, overflow to 11/29 is not available.
  • Low IFR conditions may require a lower rate when departure demand increases. Tower must see or have landing assured for aircraft within 2 miles.
  • Heavy jet mix will move AAR within the range.
  • Final compression issues may reduce the rate.
  • ADR 32 Visibility 1 nm or less
  • ADR 36 Visibility 1 to 2 nm
ILS 4R 4L IFR 34-38
  • Tower VSBY 2 to 3 miles.
  • Ceilings or Visibility restricted so that an overflow to 11/29 is not available.
  • IFR conditions may require a lower rate when departure demand increases. Tower must see or have landing assured for aircraft within 2 miles.
  • Heavy jet mix will move AAR within the range.
  • ADR 38-40. Local control visually separates arrivals and departures. Arrival volume has minimal impact on departure efficiency
ILS 4R 4L MVFR 38-42
  • MVFR, Tower VSBY greater than 3 miles .
  • MVFR Tower can see aircraft at least 3 miles from threshold.
  • Ceilings or Visibility restricted so that an overflow to 11/29 is not available.
  • Visual approaches not available.
  • Heavy jet mix will move AAR within the range
  • ADR 42-44. Local control visually separates arrivals and departures. Arrival volume has minimal impact on departure efficiency.
ILS 4R C 29 29 VFR 32-36
  • This is one of the least efficient configurations.
  • Tower may request a 5 mile final for departure slots.
  • Very rarely used, Strong wind conditions.
  • Heavy jet mix will move AAR within the range.
  • ADR 32-36
ILS 4R C 29 4L VFR 34-38
  • A little better than up and down 29, but still an inefficient configuration.
  • Tower needs space for departure slots.
  • Heavy jet mix will move AAR within the range.
  • ADR 34-36
ILS 4R/VAPs 29 4L VFR 42-46
  • RWY 29 arrivals 20-25 MIT.
  • MUGZY traffic must be monitored closely to keep this operation effective. If MUGZY traffic is a factor then RWY 4L may be used as an overflow. (See ILS 4R/VAPS 4L).
  • De-couple TEB ILS 6 by using VAP’s or RNAV 6.
  • Must have aircraft available for RWY 29 to meet AAR.
  • Heavy jet mix will move AAR within the range.
  • ADR 36-38
ILS 4R/ VAPs 4L 4L VFR 48-51+
  • This configuration could be utilized when TEB arrivals are busy and de-coupling TEB cannot be accomplished or when "hold short" is not available.
  • MIT required for RWY 4L arrivals.
  • SYS Ops (N90 and EWRT) determines time period and MIT for Rwy 4L.
  • Departure Demand is a key element in determining Arrival rate to RWY 4L.
  • ADR 32-34
ILS 4R/ VAPs 11 4L VFR 48+
  • Excellent arrival configuration.
  • With hold short winds (4R), all types can utilize RWY 11.
    Note: Foreign jets (non-participants) do not accept land and hold short clearances.
  • Some tailwind components will restrict the use of RWY 11 to B737-700 or regional jets and smaller.
  • No LASHO conditions: 15-20 MIT on RWY 11.
  • RWY 11 arrival affects 4L departures.
  • ADR 34-38
ILS 22L C 29 22R or 29 VFR
AAR 38:Land 29, depart 22R
AAR 32:Land and depart 29
  • Configuration typically in high winds. Most aircraft will land runway 29, expect heavy jet arrivals. They will land 22L.
  • ADR 25-44. (Low end of scale departing 29).
ILS 22L/VAPS 11 22R VFR 46-52
  • Excellent arrival configuration.
  • 38-42 on RWY 22L and 8-10 on RWY 11.
  • ADR 40-44
  • RWY 11 tailwind operation (up to 10 kts)
  • AAR 40-46: 36-40 on RWY 22L and 4-6 on RWY 11.
  • ADR 38-42
    Note: RWY 11 arrivals are typically restricted to 15 MIT and B737-700 and smaller aircraft. Tailwind component can increase MIT to 20 MIT or more. (RJ’s and smaller.) Aircraft landing on RWY 11 are required to be sequenced with RWY 22L landing traffic.
ILS 22L 22R Low IFR 28-34
  • Ceilings or Visibility restricted, overflow to 11/29 is not available.
  • Low IFR conditions may require a lower rate when departure demand increases. Tower must see or have landing assured for aircraft within 2 miles.
  • Heavy jet mix will move AAR within the range.
  • AAR
    Note: Strong wind and/or wet runways may reduce AAR. ZBW is typically first to hold on this configuration due to the proximity of the SHAFF arrival fix.
ILS 22L 22R IFR 36-38
  • Ceilings or Visibility restricted, overflow to 11/29 is not available.
  • Heavy jet mix will move AAR within the range.
  • Final compression issues may reduce the rate.
  • ADR 38-42
    Note: Good operational configuration. Strong wind and/or wet runways may reduce AAR. ZBW is typically first to hold on this configuration due to the proximity of the SHAFF arrival fix. High heavy jet volume moves AAR to low end of the range.
