That is correct we can’t do simultaneous approaches to 4 Rwys at the same time. We tend to depart and arrive what is best for the airport. We can get more traffic out of the terminal core by departing Rwy 9C as they can use Twy E to get to Rwy 9C from the east side of the airport. If we are departi...
