An Airbus A380 performs a visual approach at Rome Fiumicino. The aircraft is number 2 for the approach, behind an Airbus A320, and the A380 pilot reported that he/she has the A320 in sight. The ATC gives the A380 pilot clearance to "maintain separation". In this situation, which option is correct as regards the wake turbulence separation between the A380 and the A320?

Question

An Airbus A380 performs a visual approach at Rome Fiumicino. The aircraft is number 2 for the approach, behind an Airbus A320, and the A380 pilot reported that he/she has the A320 in sight.  The ATC gives the A380 pilot clearance to "maintain separation". In this situation, which option is correct as regards the wake turbulence separation between the A380 and the A320?

Accepted Answer

ATC is NO longer required to apply wake turbulence separation between the A320 and the A380.

Answer

ATC must inform the A320 about the wake turbulence category of the A380.

Answer

The pilot of the A320 must maintain the wake turbulence separation from the A380.

Answer

ATC is responsible for separating the A380 from the A320 by applying the appropriate wake turbulence separation minima.
