Singapore Changi Airport: Difference between revisions

This is the best place to spot aircraft arriving on runway 20R and 20C. In most cases aircraft that will park at the C-gates at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 , as well as cargo aircraft will land on runway 20R while runway 20C is mainly used for traffic that will park at the D-gates at Terminal 1  or at Terminal 2 except during runway maintenence which would usually last 20-30 mins and arrival traffic would temporarily be diverted to the other runway. Runway maintenence only occurs once every 6-7 hours. The best places to spot within Changi Beach for morning arrivals would be after carpark 5 for 20R arrivals which also has a bus stop if you do not have a car. For evening and afternoon arrivals the best place would be either near carpark 3 or 4 for 20R arrivals which also has a bus stop nearby or it is just a short walk from carpark 5. The planes for 20R fly directly over carpark 5. Runway 20R is usually used between March-October after which the runway is changed to 02L due to seasonal wind changes. Also note that listening to VHF radios is strictly forbidden and hefty fines are given to those caught listening or using it. For runway 20C you have to spot at the beach near carpark 6 for afternoon and evening arrivals(only accessible by car as there are no bus services).
