Radar vectors and flight levels / altitudes will be issued, as required for spacing and separating the aircraft so that correct landing intervals are maintained, taking into account aircraft characteristics.

Radar vectoring charts are not published since the instrument approach procedures and altitudes ensure that adequate terrain clearance exists at all times until the point where the pilot will resume his own navigation on final approach or in the circuit.
