The Endless Runway (ENDLESS RUNWAY)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

"The airport’s capacity is determined by the capacity of its runway system. The real capacity is usually lower than the declared capacity because of weather restrictions (cross- and tailwind and visibility) and because of dependencies between runways.Aircraft need to take off and land within defined cross- and tailwind limits. The direction of the runway determines the cross- and tailwind componen ...
