Narrative:

During the subject time period; phl was running a procedure known as SAPRS2. This procedure requires controllers to vector aircraft that are already in the phl B airspace below the B airspace to avoid conflictions with aircraft landing on a parallel runway. I believe this procedure should be re-evaled or canceled. Anytime an aircraft exits the B airspace; the margin of safety that was created for aircraft flying in high volume areas is reduced.

Title: PHL CTLR EXPRESSED CONCERN REGARDING THE SIMULTANEOUS APCH PARALLEL RWYS (SAPRS-2) PROC THAT FORCES ACFT OUT OF CLASS B DURING VECTORS.

Narrative: DURING THE SUBJECT TIME PERIOD; PHL WAS RUNNING A PROC KNOWN AS SAPRS2. THIS PROC REQUIRES CTLRS TO VECTOR ACFT THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE PHL B AIRSPACE BELOW THE B AIRSPACE TO AVOID CONFLICTIONS WITH ACFT LNDG ON A PARALLEL RWY. I BELIEVE THIS PROC SHOULD BE RE-EVALED OR CANCELED. ANYTIME AN ACFT EXITS THE B AIRSPACE; THE MARGIN OF SAFETY THAT WAS CREATED FOR ACFT FLYING IN HIGH VOLUME AREAS IS REDUCED.
