Aircraft provided positive separation via nonradar control, utilizing a published approach/departure, shall be separated by a minimum of?

In nonradar procedural control using a published approach/departure, you rely on fixed time or ground-distance gaps rather than radar to keep aircraft apart. The required minimum separation is two minutes or five miles, whichever is greater. This rule covers a range of speeds: for slower traffic, five miles often exceeds what two minutes would; for faster traffic, two minutes corresponds to more than five miles, ensuring ample spacing. By enforcing this standard, you maintain safe separation along published routes even when radar isn’t available.
