Introduction
Terminals 1 and 2
Manouvers Description
Runway Partition
The two 35/17 parallel runways
are long enough to serve every kind of plane, without any kind of restrictions, although
they are not certified for independent operations due to their limited distance.
Normal operations
require the use of Runway 35L/R for arrivals, since rwys 17L/R require to circle.
In order to distribute noise effects on wider
areas (so as to reduce the overall noise impact), the two runways serve both arrivals and
departures without distinction. Runway 35R normally serves departures that require a RIGHT
turn, thus involving flights heading to SRN VOR (Eastbound, Adriatic and Austria), while
Runway 35L serves departures that require a LEFT turn heading to RMG ADF (Westbound,
Thyrrenian and France). Landings are equally divided, living the heaviest (and thus
noisiest) planes to Runway 35L, whose manoeuvre doesn't foresee the overfly of populated
areas.
These restrictions are
applied in good weather conditions, whereas "weather limited" operations see
Runway 35L dedicated to takeoffs and Runway 35R dedicated to arrivals (thanks to a CAT
IIIB ILS) |
