Would it make more sense to land on the inners and depart on the outers
I know...the outers are shorter than the inners at CDG and LAX but what if the outers could be extended. For even runway lengths, is it better to have inevitable runway incursions on the landing runways where you can at least go-around instead of the present where a heavily loaded widebody is basically going have an accident of some sort if somebody cuts in front of them.
Opinions?
C-GTSO, an Airbus 330-342 aircraft operated by Air Transat, was conducting flight TSC397 from Paris/Charles de Gaulle, France (LFPG) to Montreal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau Intl, QC (CYUL) with 11 crew members and 308 passengers on board. After receiving their takeoff clearance and while lining up on Runway 27L at LFPG, the flight crew of TSC397 observed an Airbus 320 landing on Runway 27R. Before commencing their take off roll, both TSC397 flight crew heard ATC instruct the Airbus 320 flight crew to hold short of Runway 27L, and this restriction was read back correctly.
During TSC397's takeoff roll, at approximately 120 knots, ATC asked the Airbus 320 flight crew if they were stopped and instructed them to hold short a second time to which the flight crew replied that they were stopped and holding short of Runway 27L. When TSC397 passed the Airbus 320, the flight crew observed that it had stopped on the wrong side of the hold line.
