ParaLLel Landing at EGLL!

<< < (2/2)

EHM-1657 Jay:
Cool stuff !!

EHM-1500 Jim:
Nice work guys....Jonathan "Razza" and i have had a couple of parallel landings on IVAO with active ATC....problem is i caqnt for the life of me remeber where it was!! I think it was either Brussels or Frankfurt??
Real nice to do it officially with ATC guiding us both in simultaneously...he managed to time it perfectly so we both touched down at the same second - great fun.
Nice shots anyway guys....

Matt beat Javier on final! lol
That's so cool, does anybody know a airport with two closer parallel rwys???

Manchester - EGCC
Gatwick - EGKK (suicide for parrallel)

EHM-1883 Matt:
Gatwick would be the best!! Only problem is, the runways start and end at different points.

A good airport to try is MMMX. The runways there are perfectly parallel, and just as suicidal as EGKK.

EHM-1617 Iain:
Parallel landings are prohibited at LL, while simulatanous approaches aren't all the time (usually, one runway is solely departures and the other is solely arrivals).

There is a procedure called TEAM (Tactically Enhanced Arrival Method). Essentially, between certain hours in the morning, if the inbound delay exceeds a certain time (20 minutes I think) then up to six per hour can be landed on the departure runway. These six are carefull chosen to have the best positive effect on the delay - i.e. aircraft bound for T4 will land on the southern runway while the rest of the traffic lands on the northern runway.

Unfortunately, the runways are too close to each other to allow for parallel approaches (FS9 ATC hasn't figured that out though), so traffic approaching the departure runway must be fitted into the sequence as if it were approaching the normal runway.

Would love to try a parallel approach at KK!
