Simultaneous approach

Boeing 737 (near) and 757 (far) landing at San Francisco International Airport for runway 28L and 28R, which are spaced 750 ft (230 m) apart and were approved for simultaneous dependent approach to closely-spaced parallel runways, a practice that ended in 2026.

In aviation, simultaneous approaches are instrument approach operations conducted simultaneously on multiple parallel or converging runways. Simultaneous approaches are authorized for ILS, RNAV, and GLS approaches. The goal of conducting simultaneous approaches is to increase arrival capacity.
