+ 1 ATC Watcher, very good summing up :ok:

OK, fair enough - but I have mentioned that in a previous post. Here, I was trying to think of the "WHYs" as you asked about earlier, rather than what did or did not happen. :ok:

KSFO have built parallel runways that are too close together, (probably owing to lack of space), to allow ILS approaches when both runways are in use simultaneously.

LH can operate 24/7 and I would bet that all the inbounds to KSFO that night had filed IFR flight plans. It seems to be KSFO that cannot operate 24/7 unless they reduce safety margins.

And I am curious to know what happens if the weather goes below night visual limits e.g. under a TEMPO? You cannot issue slots to keep all the inbound transatlantic flights on the ground, because...

It's nothing to do with that. It's not because the pilots can't do night visuals, or don't want to do night visuals. This isn't an ego issue. And it isn't a weekend club fly-in, where you all swap...

Yep, could be.
