===Runway usage=== | |||
Only runways 06L/24R and 06R/24L are used regularly; runway 06C/24C only serves as a taxiway nowadays (therefore some sources list 2, others 3 runways, but the aerial view reveals that that strip of concrete is still maintained as a runway).<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Unless there is construction work going on or in case of emergency closure of runway 06L/24R, runway 24L is not used for departures and 06R is not used for landings. This is in order to shield the village of C'an Pastilla from excessive aircraft noise (even now it gets loud there).<br>The only execption I have witnessed sofar were military flights by a CASA turbo-prop. | |||
====Southwesternly operations==== | |||
24L: arrivals only<br> | |||
24R: primarily departures; sparse arrivals mainly by props from time to time | |||
====Northeasternly operations==== | |||
06R: departures only (strictly followed)<br> | |||
