Amsterdam Airport Schiphol: Difference between revisions

From the northern head, runway 18L planes takeoff to the south. On the southern head, runway 36R planes land in northern direction. Runway 18L is common used during daylight in combination with runway 24 for leaving traffic. Runway 36R is common used for incoming traffic in combination with runway 06. Usage of the Aalsmeerbaan is prohibited between 23:00 and 06:00 (local time).

From the northern head, runway 24 planes regurlary takeoff to southwestern direction. On the southwestern head, runway 06 planes frequently land in northeastern direction. Only with hard northeastern wind planes takeoff from runway 06. On runway 24 planes only land with hard southwestern wind.

The Schiphol-Oostbaan is 2015 meters long, which makes it the shortest runway of Schiphol. That's why this runway isn't adequate for large, longdistance planes. The runway is mainly used voor the small traffic, called general aviation. Only when the weather conditions make the need to use the Schiphol-Oostbaan, it's used for regular traffic. Usage of the Schiphol-Oostbaan is prohibited between 23.00 and 06.00 (local time).
