Yeah, Most places don't even authorize Opposite Direction Operations because of its inherent dangers. And THANKS DAVE! I'm actually familiar with those references, those sections are how we developed our Letters Of Agreement with the 7mile/10mile cutoffs to effect the one-in-one-out policies of ODO as it was built to be safe first, not necessarily expeditious LOL!
I just find it odd that a neighboring facility puts pressure on the tower to take Military Practice Opposite Direction Approaches when the tower is doing pattern work to the duty runway, and without radar display it's basically impossible to apply the separation properly unless the timing was absolutely perfect. I can't imagine a tower would authorize simultaneous opposite direction Touch-and-go's to the same runway, regardless of how creative a controller may be, it's just seems like a bad idea to authorize it...
