San Francisco International Airport (often abreviated to as SFO or KSFO) is FlightGear's main airport, and therefore included in the base package. It has a range of custom scenery building models including Alcatraz, downtown San Fransisco, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Because of the large amount of multiplayer traffic around SFO, some systems might crash (or extremely lag) when launched at SFO or a nearby airport.
Runways
SFO has 4 runways. The runways are positioned parallel in two pairs. Two of them are north-south, two are east-west.
The separation between parallel runways is 750ft. While simultaneous landings can take place on parallel runways in good weather, Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) rules for landing aircraft restrict the airport to one runway in bad weather which can lead to increased delays.
Runway 01R-19L
Runway 10R-28L is 2636 meters long.
Runway 01L-19R
Runway 10R-28L is 2286 meters long, therefore the smallest runway of the airport.
Runway 10R-28L
Runway 10R-28L is 3231 meters long. When the 28 runways are in use, 28L is normally used for takeoffs.
Runway 10L-28R
Runway 28R-10L is the airports longest runway, with 3618 meters. When the 28 runways are in use, 28R is normally used for landings.
