Orote Airfield - Access and Direction

Orote Airfield - Access and Direction

Coupla issues:

- Unidirectional - RWY29 TO, RWY11 L, regardless of wind direction.

No geographic architecture to prohibit this field from being bidirectional, TO/L into the wind.

Other fields on the map already operate this way.

 

- Mid-field entry - Both North and South sides, produces long, on-runway taxing, resulting in a 15 min./Four(4) A/C launch cycle.

North side has taxiways to both ends, unused, while the South side has access to the West end only, unused, because of the field direction issue.

Need East end taxiway access on both sides, or both ends if the field direction is improved.

Great map.

Thanks.
