  MINIMUM AIRCRAFT SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS
  3-41. During normal operations, pathfinders ensure pilots follow minimum separation criteria. Combat
  situations might dictate less separation (Figure 3-4).
  ARRIVING AIRCRAFT
  3-42. The preceding aircraft (1) taxis off the landing strip before the arriving aircraft (2) crosses the
  approach end on its final glide (A, Figure 3-4).
  DEPARTING AIRCRAFT
  3-43. The preceding aircraft either crosses (1) the opposite end of the runway or turns away from the
  projected path of the departing aircraft (2) before the latter begins its takeoff run (B, Figure 3-4).
  DEPARTING AND ARRIVING AIRCRAFT
  3-44. The departing aircraft (1) crosses the opposite end of the runway before the arriving aircraft (2)
  crosses the approach end on its final glide path (C, Figure 3-4).
  DEPARTING, PRECEDING, AND ARRIVING AIRCRAFT
  3-45. The preceding aircraft (1) and the arriving aircraft (2) both taxi off the runway before the
  departing aircraft (3) begins the takeoff run (D, Figure 3-4).
