SFO was VFR during the incident in question. If they went to IFR approaches they would need to divert and ground hold a significant amount of traffic.

When visuals are not available in SFO they issue ground stops to the domestic US traffic planned into SFO. They then begin to cancel flights in addition to the ground stop. In general the regional...

Go to the airport sites. Make sure you are comparing the same things. I used arrivals. Some on here are comparing arrivals to operations. SFO handles twice the traffic of LHR. I have flown...

SFO has about 1300 arrivals a day. LHR about 650. That’s not about the same. It’s substantially different.

I am still trying to wrap my head around the crew duty day if this is about safety. Most airlines report 90 minutes prior for an international flight. 12.5 flight hours puts the day at 14. 2 hour...

I think you are not grasping that at SFO the runways are so close together that if shooting Instrument approaches it’s essentially a single runway operation. If doing visuals it’s a two runway...

LHR utilizes 2.5 miles with a single runway operation. Any US airports can do the same. The problem is that at SFO the runways are 250’ apart. If you limit approaches to IFR you effectively become a...

With the runway spacing at SFO doing visuals increases the arrival capacity substantially. Even at other airports visuals increase arrival rate as it allows for reduced spacing. As far as the SFO...
