L.A. airports panel approves moving runway closer to homes
All of this to develop a taxiway between 24L and 24R? Doesn't most of the traffic in and out LAX arrive and depart from the south complex? or is it pretty much evenly distributed? (www.latimes.com) 기타...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I was hoping for a better written article. The most obvious information "How much closer?" was notoriously absent. What passes as journalism these days? An article full of opinions but lacking actual facts?
Why not in the backgroud
Does this mean they will be landing closer to my favorite view spot, NandOut Burger while devouring a delicious burger and watching the planes come in close by?
Not sure of LAX, but I know LAS has to suspend operation on the 1/19 parallels to accomadate the A380 due to wingtip clearance between the two runways.
Umm.. LAS has no A380 service, and while true that they would need to do this for the 1s/19s, it's a long task to have an A380 land on a sub-10,000ft runway (longest is 1R/19L at 9775, with 1L/19R at 8985ft). The A380 would definitely get 25L if it were to fly to there. However, even with T3, KLAS is no-where near equipped to handle the A380.
LAS has a plan in place if the A380 had to land there for some reason (eg. Divert from LAX, emergency landing, etc). We have the same thing at PHX except its a little more extreme for us.
You are correct, LAS does not have such service at this time. However the point I was making that if two parallels are located too close together, then they have to cease operations on one if a A380 or B748 are using the other. I recalled reading LAS was under such a restriction, and wondering if LAX would be similar.
You're correct. IIRC, that restriction goes all the way down to the DC10. LAX has similar with the north side but not the south because of them moving 7R/25L 125ft south of where it used to be. However a lot of that is nullified because of the MIT spacing the A380 gets because of wake turbulence.
I'd expect a similar move for the 24s and yes, I think In-N-Out would be spared because of how far north it is from the threshold. Now, the highway parallel to the 24s is another issue...
