Shouldn't get a gpws alert while in landing configuration, assuming your descent rate isn't excessive... At least that's what I, a layperson, would think. Plus I presume the top runway would be for landing, 🛬 (is this a landing emoji wtf is there one for 🛫 lmao why didn't I know about these before)

lol imagine hitting V speeds in a calm wind environment inside the tunnel, then leaving the tunnel and into a 30 knot headwind or crosswind component of 15 or 20 and having to correct immediately or drift into an embankment.

I've got it. Put the tunnel on a giant turntable and keep the active runway directly into the wind at all times, no crosswind component whatsoever

Originally, some major airports were giant circles, just so they could take off directly into the wind each and every time as you suggested.

That's a natty idea for places where money's no object, just a shame the space you save with the stacked landing / take-off runways is cancelled out by the massive extra shallow ramps to get to common taxiways

jdog7249@reddit

I could actually see where the idea originated. Take offs could happen and just not rotate until after getting out from under it essentially allowing you to take off and land simultaneously. Just make the go around procedure an immediate turn off runway heading to prevent a go around from meeting a take off. Take offs and landing should probably both be in the same direction as well. All takeoffs on the lower runway all landings on the higher one since the bottom isn't exactly conducive to go arounds. In reality I am sure there are millions of reasons why this is a horrible idea.

ArsErratia@reddit

In reality, unlike the image, you'd have takeoffs and landings both into the wind, so they wouldn't be heading towards eachother at least. But I'd love to see the engineering report for runway overrun mitigation.

sharklaserguru@reddit

> they wouldn't be heading towards each other at least. They would still need to sequence the aircraft so you don't have a plane going around while another plane is climbing out. The biggest savings might be in not having pause one runway to allow planes to cross from the other.

I think the real idea here is justan underground taxiway so that you can get aircraft to the other side of a runway without having to cross it, as the majority of safety incidents on the ground are related to runway crossings.

That's YouTube now I think. If it finds a video not in your native language it will auto dub it. I'm a native English speaker, but I watch quite a bit of car related content and it seems like most of them are based in Germany, and even though they all speak English, sometimes the accent tricks the AI that does the dubs and it gets dubbed anyways.

No there's not. The directional sign for Rwy 1 is missing an arrow. Then it's right next to a mandatory sign for a Rwy 26, with a random H next to it? It's also missing the separation bar between the location and (nonsensical) mandatory part of the array.

Reply

[-]

pte_parts69420@reddit

I was referring to the 26H part of the sign, which would denote a heliport, and in the case of CARs 325.35; an elongated FATO is required to have both the rwy heading, and a large H denoting that it is a heliport. An operator could include the H on the sign in that case and there would be nothing wrong with it.
