xavnl Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Hi, Beginner in Tower3D, playing via the mouse interface, no speech recognition yet. I am curious how you manage with a lot of arrivals. I am on Philadelphia and sometimes got a separation warning on approach. How can you avoid this regarding the few options available, for example no speed reduction (I guess, at least not in the controls available).

hexzed Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Philadelphia is really bad for unnecessary separation problems. You can give go around, contact departure or enter final instructions for a different runway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crbascott Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Or sadly, delete airplanes. Philadelphia is a good example where arrival logic along with a 20 mile final needs addressing in the next version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xavnl Posted August 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Thanks. 😀 Another thing I don't understand, but it's working fine and no penalties, you can give the landing clearance to all the arriving aircrafts. Since this is decreasing a bit the work load on arrival I don't mind that much, but it's not "realistic". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this is decreasing a bit the work load on arrival I don't mind that much, but it's not "realistic". Actually, it is realistic under FAA rules. It is covered in FAA JO Order 7110.65 under section 3-10-6, Anticipating Separation. Landing clearance to succeeding aircraft in a landing sequence need not be withheld if you observe the positions of the aircraft and determine that prescribed runway separation will exist when the aircraft crosses the landing threshold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
