Dubai`s two rwy`s are too close together to be operated independantly,
They are by the rules that the controllers there have to work to.
....not true. Have a look at some of the ops in the US. Quite impressive!
Rules in the US (and Canada for that matter) would allow the runway layout at Dubai to be operated independently in weather conditions as low as 3SM (5km) visibility or 1000 foot ceiling. When weather is below these limits then we would revert to the same "2 miles and rolling" standard employed in all weather conditions in Dubai. That's when N. American airports look like delay machines.
