The 777 is also pretty huge compared to a 737, they liked to say that the engines had the same diameter as a 737's fuselage. Also the photograph has some perspective distortion so the size difference is going to be a bit off.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:The frequency at which this happens makes me think that it's actually preferred to land concurrently. LAX doesn't do that very often actually, as far as I can tell. Or rather, they do do parallel runways, but it's 24R and 25L, not what that picture is showing which is both of the 24s. I read that the reason delays pile up when SFO is foggy is because they can't use the runways in parallel when the visibility falls below a certain threshold, but I am not an air traffic controller.

Dr. Klas posted:Is this photoshopped or are two planes really allowed to land simultaneously at parallel runways ? Simultaneous operations on parallel runways are allowed given certain weather, and runway spacing conditions (distance between runway centerlines). Depending on the conditions, aircraft may or may not have to be informed of each other. Dallas Ft Worth Intl can land 3 aircraft simultaneously in bad weather. StandardVC10 posted:LAX doesn't do that very often actually, as far as I can tell. Or rather, they do do parallel runways, but it's 24R and 25L, not what that picture is showing which is both of the 24s. You're completely correct. San Francisco's parallel runways are too close together to allow simultaneous operations in bad weather. You're correct about Los Angeles using the outboard parallels for landing as well. That's a very common configuration for large airports. Depart the inside parallels, arrive on the outer parallels. This gives you more room laterally between arriving airplanes, allowing more simultaneous options. The Ferret King fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Mar 27, 2014 |

MIA is approved for simultaneous parallel arrivals, as well as simultaneous, convergent arrivals to intersecting runways. Aircraft can land on runway 12, simultaneously to aircraft landing runway 9, which intersects at the southeast corner of the field. It's fun to watch. I've got no idea whether it's in the 7110, or if it's a special approval.

Last time I landed in Chicago we did a parallel landing with another jet and it was pretty groovy to watch one plane's approach from out the window of the other. We pretty much perfectly matched in airspeed and altitude the whole way in.

From the photographer: Shot from the same spot with the same exposure and framing 1m18s apart and aligned by the street signs below, an overlay size comparison of the 737-700 and the A380-800. The 737 landed first. Note the identical altitude of both airplanes.

Phoenix Sky Harbor lands planes simultaneously on the parallels, but I have no idea if they can do that in bad weather, since we never have any.

I never sit around long enough to watch but it always seems like they're staggered by ~30 sec, one runway then the other. And you can't mention PHX airport weather without mentioning the day we went off the charts.

Anyone who has an exclusively aviation media twitter probably wants that image to go away by now.

We have a joke about how if there's a cloud between Indy Center and Chicago Center, we're getting all their O'hare arrivals. Except it's not a joke. We've had a loving line moving through our airspace, and there was what appeared to be a single cell along their arrival, and they put the playbook into effect that sends them through KC center right into this line. Our traffic management unit gets no say when it comes to stuff like that and it's pretty pathetic.

Burt Rutan gave a talk last year to a bunch of old white people called "The Struggles of a Retiring Airplane Designer" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OZQ-9Nd76g It's long (about 1 hour) but he touches on some of his accomplishments over the last nearly 40 years of running Rutan Aircraft Factory and Scaled Composites. He also talks about how he was retired for only about 12 months before he started designing the twin engine motorglider seaplane he's working on now. Unfortunately the camera at this point starts deliberately panning past the screen so that the details aren't shown, but he talks a fair bit about it.
