I apologize if this has been asked before although I did a search for an answer. On my trips out to JFK, the A388 always arrives on the runways with the 200' width, either 13R/31L or 4R/22L. Can the aircraft arrive on the other runways with the 150' width as well? I understand that there is an FAA rule stating that if the runway width is less than 200', then there must be a 40' shoulder on each side of the runway. If true, is this rule strictly adhered to or is it just an advisory? When can the A388 use the other, shorter-width runways? I seem to recall that when the 31's were closed for snow removal, the A388 departed from 22R, which has the shorter width. Just curious.
