Just heard AFR6 check in with the tower and receive landing clearance on runway 31R. Flightaware shows it's the A380 today. Last I remember, the A380 could not land on runway 31R due to clearance issues with some ILS/antennas at the turnoff. When did the project complete to remove this equipment? It will certainly help capacity-wise to have a third runway config available for the A380 to land on.
Paging Mr. Medford...:wink:
13L is fine, 31R is still not... but, it could be replaced by 777 like it has been for a few days this past week. Did the check in say Air France 6 "Super" or "Heavy" ?
Flight Aware shows a 777-300 today http://flightaware.com/live/flight/AFR7
The Emirates A380 landed on 31L today.
Flightaware has been wrong in the past and I have been physically there to see it :-)
Anyone witness it?
Besides it is more convenient for Air France to be on the left side :-)
AF6 was a 777-300 today.
Well that explains it, flightaware was wrong. At least I didn't misread!
whats the reason they cant land them on 31R.. width of runway?
ILS antenna is too close to one of the turnoffs to accommodate A380's wingspan.Quote:
