Arrival Rwy 30L, Departure Rwy 30R
When that happens don't be surprised to get requests for 30L departures.
I mentioned elsewhere already that 30R can be quite limiting.
The most likely candidates will be 777-300's on flights over 6 hours, A340-300's on flights over 8 hours and 777-300ER's on flights over 10 hours.
When I crunched numbers this morning on the performance laptop in crew briefing it showed that 30L will be less limiting and should allow higher takeoff weights.
Not sure why; but somehow I had always thought 30R would remain the landing runway and 30L the departure runway, despite the longer taxi distance.
