I believe around 2014-2015 the 4/22s were closed or restricted for landing and 29 was the primary landing runway. That made for some interesting landing/approaches on 29 with direct gusting crosswinds.

nope…

for context, the post I responded too was specifically about 29 being the only runway available… which I’ve never seen. When they were resurfacing the 04/22s awhile back I was still able to refuse 29 and land on the only 04/22 open… they only closed one at a time.

Not what I said at all. See first quote. ^

I would figure the length of the airplane would be more of an issue than the width.

That can't be right. DC-10s were never permitted to land at DCA.

Bridgegate reference, jk. Didn’t have to be a regular at Satriale’s to know that was no fluke Look, I’m with you all the way on Daytona length ILS runways. Preferring always the option with greatest margin for error & simplicity. Otoh, lesser options are acceptable provided you’re in the slot, conditions suitable.

Wrong. Happened plenty in the past. Beyond that you are willing to exceed the 767 crosswind limit and become a test pilot? Ive seen that in ewr 20x but I was there way before you. We get it, you are scared of your shadow and thats fine. But just admit that instead of coming off like a complete idiot on this whole thread.

‘yep scared… only idiots on here is u and a few others who apparently make some really poor risk management decisions. Don’t worry it will eventually catch up and we will be reading about you soon… just ask the guy who hit the pole…
