Quoting workhorse (Reply 8): Oh, that's very interesting, I wondered if it can happen since longtime! Have you seen what they did afterwards? Did they go left (over North Bay / Marin County) or right (over San Mateo / Pacifica)? |
Quoting 777fan (Reply 6): Given the terrain issues, it would've been so much more dramatic had the KL flight used either of the 19s |
Quoting legacyins (Reply 5): |
Quoting migair54 (Reply 7): so if the day permits, why not??, |
Quoting as739x (Reply 9): JAL uses 1R almost daily. Their departure off 1R is usually a left turn to 350, then radar vectors over the south side of the city (Candalstick Park area) to where ever they are entering their track over the ocean. You can see here on the 12th, its appeared to fly over the Skaggs VOR before heading towards the ocean. |
Quoting workhorse (Reply 10): Oh, thanks! Makes for a nice sightseeing tour if one seats on the left side (SF -> Sausalito / Tiburon -> Sonoma Valley). |
Quoting 777fan (Reply 6): Given the terrain issues, it would've been so much more dramatic had the KL flight used either of the 19s. I wonder how often a heavy (lightly loaded or otherwise) uses that option; I've never seen it but figure someone on here might have caught it or actually flown it at some point. |
Quoting timz (Reply 16): Quoting UALDUDE (Reply 14): Their performance data for that flight probably dictated using the 01's rather the 28's. What aircraft/weight/temperature combination would dictate using the shorter runway? |
