Massive Airport expansion announced

First, on what insanity are you projecting on ATC? Why would aircraft *be* taking off on both sides? If alternation continues on the existing runways, with mixed-mode on the new one, this scenario will happen 50% of the time. To illustrate the foolishness of your fear tactics, let's call the runways Left, Right, and New. All proposals thus far have New be much shorter than Left or Right, and is located to the north. So if you are using New for departures to the west, you'd *also* use Right for departures, and Left for arrivals. Why? And likewise, during easterly operations are you saying that 09L would always be used for departures, a total reversal of the Cranford Agreement? I would simply note that your scenario has little or nothing to do with reality. Yours too, I hope. -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |
