Not an unusual comment, though the thing is that most drivers B747 will happily land on 34L and use either of the high speed turnoffs which are at least a couple of hundred metres shorter landing distance than the full length of 34R. Same applies to the other end, 16L.

Did it in the -400 sim years ago, no problems.

Regards,
BH.

Maybe trying to save fuel....? Is there much distance difference between the two parking areas?

About 100m. They're across the apron from each other.
