  • As airports grow over the years, some of the newly built runways may be far away from the terminal, making for lengthy taxiing operations upon landing. But, which airports runways are furthest from the terminals?

    I've landed on the Polderbaan several times and it usually takes about 15-25 minutes depending on the gate you have to taxi to. Just once there was this captain, who just wanted to go home I guess, who fully went pedal to the metal and got us from the Polderbaan to the D-pier, which normally is about 20 minutes, in only 12 minutes. Legend shortened the flight by a full 8 minutes on the ground xD

      @RealConstructor 2 года назад +11

      I believe it does matter if the Zwanenburgbaan is in operation or not. If not, they cross the runway, if it is used, they have to get around it, which will take a minute or 5 extra. Starting from the D-pier or E-pier (concourse D or E) and take off from runway Polderbaan (and the Zwanenburgbaan runway is in operation), your ‘flight’ to Heathrow, which is about an hour will take you taxiing on Schiphol Airport for almost a third of your ‘flight’ time. Flying to Brussels, it’s almost half the time. Luckily there aren’t any speed cameras on the taxiways.

    • @sammyjwz1701
      @sammyjwz1701 2 года назад +2

      @@RealConstructor That also depends on how busy the zwanenburgbaan is. The polderbaan is busier than the zwanenburgbaan because the zwanenburgbaan crosses over the town of zwanenburg. Schiphol has rules to follow around how much noise may be created per day around the towns and cities around Schiphol . And so the zwanenburgbaan (called to the town zwanenburg) is less used. That also makes out that sometimes the planes just can cross while another plane just expanded it's landing gear for the zwanenburgbaan.

  • @noonedude101
    @noonedude101 2 года назад +7

    Airline pilot here. The issue with O'Hare is that after landing (Hypothetically landing East), they make you taxi down to the far Eastern end of the runway, cross the other landing runway, taxi all the way to the far Western end of the departure runway, cross, then taxi all the way back to the Eastern side of the airport where the terminal is. Then God forbid you're going to the L gates, because then you have to taxi to the North side of the terminal and all the way back around.
    The common phrase is, "Welcome to Milwaukee. We'll be taxiing to Chicago."

    A flight from Dallas/Fort Worth seemed to involve a huge amount of taxi-ing upon departure once, years back. I've no idea if that is normal, as it was my only flight from there. I'd changed planes from an international flight from Europe for the short-hop Houston connection. We spent so much time lumbering around on the tarmac in the dark, (in a 737, I think) I was beginning to wonder if the plane was doing the trip to Houston by road.

    In the Madrid-Barajas Airport, terminals 1, 2 and 3 are 3.3 km (in straight line) apart from the most used runway for european flights (36R). But the planes have to taxi 5,2 km, needing sometimes more than 15 minutes.

On top of the distance, there is an issue of winding taxiway for 34R due to some radical farmers unwilling to give up their land.

    What makes the taxiing time to and from the Polderbaan even longer is that you have to circumvent the Zwanenburgbaan to get to Taxiway Quebec (which crosses the A4 motorway via an avioduct).
    The reason why the Polderbaan is so far out is that it was positioned in a way that the flight path to/from the Polderbaan avoids as much inhabited areas as possible, causing less (noise) hindrance. This is why the Polderbaan & Kaagbaan are the 'preferred' runways, followed by the Zwanenburgbaan. Buitenveldertbaan & Aalsmeerbaan cause the most noise hindrance, because their flight paths goes straight over their namesake areas and are therefor least used.

      Ah, haven’t landed there since covid started! I swear on the old one, once one of the Air India pilots just assumed the turn was part of the landing, ran over the lead vehicle and skidded up to the end gate in one fluid motion, the stewardess wasn’t even done with the local language landing welcome announcement! At least that’s how it seemed!

    The inordinate amount of jetfuel spent on moving planes on the ground on platforms, taxiways and runways seems insane to me.
    My brother proposed a solution to this as part of his thesis at the TU Delft Faculty of Aerospace Engineering over a decade ago.
    An automated attaching motor built into the tarmac which transports the plane to the runway, replacing the very inefficiently operating (on the ground) jet engines.

      That's not a new idea. Turned out to be too costly and reliability problems. They are looking at electric tugs now, but still need to be profected and the cost come down. Aircraft often taxi on one engine, so the economics of the whole thing still make the traditional taxing most cost effective.

    Denver isn't a great example for this because generally they can create a dual runway pattern for any wind direction where the landing runway takes you in the direction of the terminal, and the departing end of the other is near the terminal. The only real exception to this is landing 34R.
    And not that they actually always accomplish this, but it is set up somewhat carefully.

    Delhi. Delhi's runway 09/27 (which is a taxiway now) was quite far away from IGI T3, concourse B. Aircrafts at T1 use to have taxi time less than 2-3 minutes if no traffic at RW 27, but sometimes in rare cases, aircrafts at T3 would go all the way to runway 27. With distance no less than 4 km, it use to be a 15 minute taxi and if incoming and outgoing traffic is there, it would stretch up to 20-25 minutes. But in rare cases.

    I feel like 18R at CVG is relatively far from the passenger terminal. Looking at flight histories now, it appear everything is on 18L/36R or 9/27 (currently closed for resurfacing). Rarely see 18C/36C and very rarely see 18R/36L used. With the decrease of traffic due to Delta closing the hub in late 2000s, the 3rd parallel is not as necessary anymore.

  • @L8nitedave

    DFW is called that because it is actually a taxiway between those two cities. They put the terminals in the middle instead of one at both ends to allow it to be used for air travel too. It's popular with world class marathon runners too as with proper planning they can get a full training session in between planes. Sometimes when the weather is bad you have to divert to a completely different control tower.

    The longest distance which I did a tire heating analysis for was 25,000 feet at Honolulu. That's going from the farthest terminal to the farthest end of the "Reef Runway" (don't know the runway number -- an airline just gave me the distance number to work from). My analysis showed that if taxi speed was not restricted to around 10 mph for operations near maximum weight, tires might fail due to overheating in the course of a rejected takeoff (RTO) executed during the subsequent takeoff roll. Of course, nobody wants to taxi that slow when they've got five miles to cover...
    I've also heard of widebodies getting tire deflation (via fuseplug release) if the aircraft taxied all the way out to the Reef Runway and then had to return to the terminal. Presumably, that was tires on the low side of the allowable inflation range: The less pressure, the more deflection/sidewall flexing/heat buildup.

    So Dulles / IAD added another (3rd) parallel runway a few years ago, 1L/19R. While 12/30 is usually used for departures, it's conceivable that takeoffs occur on 19R from time to time. If this was the case, I calculated roughly 3.26mi to get from a middle-ish terminal gate to start of runway 19R, which would make it nearly the longest taxi distance on the list actually. Needless to say, most aircraft HATE getting assigned this runway (for t/o or landing) and usually request 1R/19L. The south side taxi distance is much more reasonable at about 1.9mi, but that's still significant. Actually if you use 30 from the same gate, it's 3.38 miles, which is surprising since its one of the original runways.

    At ORD, the far north runway, 9L-27R, is typically a 20 to 30 minute taxi.
    A friend of mine is a pilot based at ORD. It irks him that a flight from Europe, or a flight that is several hours late is directed to land on 27R, while a flight on a short hop will land on 28C, which is a much shorter taxi to the gate.
