Which runway to land on? Unless directed always land on Left

See last 2 paras of my post above .

Heavy jet departure takes longer than a decent braking arrival (at take off I am tonnes heavier than landing and my decel is better than the accel) - but times are about the same across the day. 
it’s where the skill of ATC comes in managing arrival and departure ‘flows’ , both military and civil, and is a significant part of the workload. This is totally absent in DCS world for obvious reasons.

cheers.

 

 

 

your post seems to be regarding runway length, if you mentioned parking area I missed it

while we are on a roll, on each side of the airport the closest runway of the parallel pair will normally be the longer one - aircraft can land on the outer one and wait their turn to cross with no fuel issues.

No worries mate. Closest and outer refers to the location ref. terminal area/ operating base,  as opposed to ‘somewhere else’. It’s logical that the departure runway is longer where there is a difference. Sorry if I don’t make it clearer - after spending 30 years flying military and wide body in and out of US international gateways I probably assume too much knowledge.

 

Have a good one

I've flown out of both Nellis and LAS. 03/21 is for safety and noise. Could you imagine everything form a T38 to a B1 in full AB 1k ft overhead? I'll bet they dread Red Flag.

I've also had to takeoff "backwards" at McCarran on more than one occasion. A fully loaded 727 on a hot summer day just can't make the climb requirement for 25R and it was a looong take off roll.
