Narrative:
The approach to runway 13R converges with runway 18R arrs and departures. Propellers departing runway 18R/left turn right to heading 240 degrees or 270 degrees as per SID. ATC procedures has runway 13R gars turning right to 270 degrees and maintaining 2000 ft -- the same as the propellers. On this date, the go around aircraft almost/could have had a midair with propeller aircraft. The situation has the potential for midair collision. Many aircraft have narrowly averted this situation ending in a disastrous event. The FAA has been aware of this problem, yet continues to operate without care for potential collision and possible loss of life.

Title: TWR CTLR AT DFW EXPRESSES CONCERN WITH LCL DEP PROC WHICH CONFLICT WITH MISSED APCH PROCS.
Narrative: THE APCH TO RWY 13R CONVERGES WITH RWY 18R ARRS AND DEPS. PROPS DEPARTING RWY 18R/L TURN R TO HDG 240 DEGS OR 270 DEGS AS PER SID. ATC PROCS HAS RWY 13R GARS TURNING R TO 270 DEGS AND MAINTAINING 2000 FT -- THE SAME AS THE PROPS. ON THIS DATE, THE GAR ACFT ALMOST/COULD HAVE HAD A MIDAIR WITH PROP ACFT. THE SIT HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR MIDAIR COLLISION. MANY ACFT HAVE NARROWLY AVERTED THIS SIT ENDING IN A DISASTROUS EVENT. THE FAA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROB, YET CONTINUES TO OPERATE WITHOUT CARE FOR POTENTIAL COLLISION AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF LIFE.
