As a non-pilot, I have been told that at PARIS CDG, they use, for example, 09R for landing and takeoff, despite the fact they have 09L too.
I just wondered if pilots operating in this airport find this incredibly irritating, and why on earth don't they use one for takeoff and one for landing (such as the system at Heathrow), or whether that is a stupid, naive suggestion.
I also wondered how they operate at Frankfurt - is it one runway for landing and one for takeoff (as I would imagine - those Germans are wonderfully efficient), or do they use one runway for everything (despite the fact that Frankfurt is extraordinarily busy)
Cheers
:cool:
