Thanks!
When the new DEN was commissioned there was a prohibition, as I recall (please correct me if I'm wrong) that prevented Part 121 airlines from operating out the feeder/satellite airports (APA and BJC). I fly out of BJC in a C172 as Part 91 (non-commercial).
Jump to post.................. Domestically, no one replaces widebodies with widebodies anymore. Whenever UA does decide to replace the domestic 777s, it'll be with a larger order for whatever the narrowbody flavor of the moment is. If the demand is there for domestic wide-bodies- why would an airline do it? T...
Jump to postAlso from a pilot- not ATP but instrument rated ASEL: We all have the benefit of hindsight in this incident, which the pilot did not. That doesn't excuse that an incorrect approach was obviously in process. The visual to 28R I believe is a converging approach with 28L (we don't know if 28L was activ...

I'm a mere private pilot with an instrument rating and 200 hours TT in a C172, and I don't fly now because of a disqualifying medical issue. However, when I did fly, I wouldn't even use Listerine in the morning prior to flying, as it had an alcohol base. I enjoy a beer and wine as much as anyone, bu...
Jump to postAs well (specific to SFO): Zero-wind traffic has landing on the 28's, and departures on the 01's. With the full length of the bay this offers a good long approach path on the 28's in order to be stabilized sufficiently for landing. The 01's require departing traffic to get above (or around) the OAK ...

Does anyone know- what are the runway assignments at ORD for take-offs and landings now that 28L/10R is now active? I assume that there are preferred runways for takeoffs and landings?
Thanks.
