KSAN Question


BillA

Recommended Posts

Hi, just purchased KSAN and was wondering if there is a way to get the landing planes on 27 to land further down the runway like in real life instead of the beginning of the runway?

 

Aircraft do not land at the end of the runway as at most airports, but at a displaced threshold. Runway 27 has a displaced threshold of 1,810' and Runway 9 has a displaced threshold of 700'.

 

Thanks for providing one of my favorite airports.  Are there any chances of San Juan PR?

 

Thanks,

 

Bill

Also notice that planes are not centered on the runway during takeoff and landings.  During takeoff planes are on the top portion of the runway and on landings they seem to be on the bottom portion of the runway.  weird.  Let me know if you want the Tower.log file for this or if this is an issue that can be adjusted with airport editor.

Thanks for the response Blaker35, another issue with KSAN is that planes dont use the displaced threshold in Tower 2011, so they slow down and exit way early than they actually do in real life and have to hold for some time for taxing airplanes from the terminal areas not to block their assigned parking routes back to their gates.  If they actually landed further down the runway, they would be exiting runway 27 further down closer to their terminals if you catch my drift.  I do love operating KSAN however, its challenging with the single runway and single taxi way of Bravo
