This CAT3 757 problem must be a priority for whoever buys the airport. I know there are many other areas that need investment, but the LBA weather record and that nasty downslope at the 14 overrun must be sorted for safetys' sake. A RESA at that end would solve both probmems allowing the 32TDZ to be brought back to the flatter bit of the runway. It would increase LDA on 32 and ASDA on 14. This would allow a slight tailwind to be more acceptable on 32 CAT3 ops. Hey whilst building it they could even put in a parallel taxyway from D1 and speed up the early morning rush to be airbourne.
Oh well, you can always dream, but as 682 says in an earlier post it will be much cheaper than a new runway. If Jet 2 are to continue bringing in more 757s this must be the way forward. Any thoughts LS 757 drivers?
