Bingaling. Have you considered noise abatement? At Heathrow, for example, the use of runways is strictly controlled and a request to land on the departure runway would have to be justified, if the runway was available.

I'm curious to know under what circumstances anyone would choose the other runway as an "alternate" assuming the weather was good..?
