Hi, just a quick question - which of the main runways at LHR is the one that goes over the cross wind runway (05/23) is it 09R/27L or 09l/27R.

Cheers.

Yep sure is the 09R/ 27L although the approach to 23 does cross the approach to 27R. But 27L to awnser your question.

Thanks Dave :ok:

....and 05 has not been available for many years because the obstacle clearance over the floodlights and equipment associated with the Terminal 4 overflow stands at the old 05 threshold would render the runway too short to be of any use.

But hang on a sec. Does this mean LHR has 3 runways? I have seen all these sign about "No Third Runway" for Heathrow.

Mesa so very confussed?:confused:

(And if any of them with these signs attempts to fly from LHR, they should have NIMBY stamped on their forheads and told to p!ss off)
