• You must be visual.
• Report visual or runway in sight as soon as you can.
• If ATC is turning you onto final, the turn will be 30 degrees or less.
• Stay on DIR frequency until established on final.

• Do not cross your runway centreline. Ever.
• The other aircraft is right next to you on the parallel runway.
• The ILS protected zone is not active during IVAs — don't rely on it.

• Track the extended centreline accurately.
• Fly the headings ATC gives you accurately.
• Watch your speed on base so you don't overshoot the turn onto final.

• ATC will call traffic if another aircraft is within 1 NM on final.
• Wake turbulence can still hit you even with proper separation — Sydney's runway layout makes it possible. Be ready.
• TCAS RA: fly it exactly as your flight manual says. No exceptions. IVA ops do not change TCAS response.

If you can't talk to DIR for any reason:

• Do not cross your assigned runway centreline.
• Start your turn onto final for your assigned runway.
• Track the extended centreline in.

Lost comms is not an excuse to drift across. Turn early if you have to.
