How do i figure out if a large plane can land at a certain airport?
I'm making a game and it involves airplanes among other vehicles being stationed in cities, now each city may have an airport, but I need to know if there's any way to figure out if a plane as large as a 747 or an antanov an-225 can land at one, is there an airport class size? Runway length? How does that work? I need to figure this out for about 600+ cities airports so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Is this some kind of simulator where making things perfect matters? Typical air liners may require around 6k feet while the biggest manage with 8k feet. I'm sure if pilots had reason to they could take off much sooner though.
Runway length and width, taxiway width, weight bearing capacity of the runway, taxiways and ramp, and the type of terminal facilities available such as jetway / airstair size all determine whether a particular aircraft can use a particular airport. For example, any aircraft made can land on the runway at my local airport, but the terminal facilities can only handle Boeing 737, Airbus A319 / A320 type aircraft and smaller regional or corporate jets.
- How long can you stay at an airport for after you Land? So I'm heading to Los Angeles (LAX) and I land at 11Am but I can't check into my Airbnb until 3pm. I can just sit at the airport for like a hour or two just to kill some time before I need to check in? Or is that a security threat?
- I'm taking my first flight ever and it's with Alaska airlines. I don't have a suitcase, so I'm bringing a large duffel bag. Is this okay? I would rather not be charged extra! The bag is a little longer than a normal suitcase but a lot thinner
- Is it common for airline pilots to miss the airport and have to make a U-turn to land? I was wondering because it was my first time flying and the pilot flew over the airport at first, made a U-turn, and then landed on the runway on the way back. Is this common for pilots to miss their airport on the first go?
- At an airport, would I have to take out small electronics out of my luggage during X-Rays? I have a DS and a Nintendo Switch in my bag and it would be quite the ***** to take them out and put them back in.
