| Feb 16, 2020 at 18:21 | comment | added | Edward Falk | Citation needed. Where does it say that any runways are emergency use only? | |
| Feb 15, 2020 at 23:21 | comment | added | Jpe61 | 2009 Jepp plates for KMDW are available on the internet, and they do not have any mention of emergency use of any runway. | |
| Feb 15, 2020 at 23:13 | comment | added | Jpe61 | Does Jepp mention the "Used as an Emergency Runway for commercial aircraft"? Sorry, don't mean to harras you with this, I just hate it when Wiki has stuff like this with poor, or god forbid, no citation. People are lost enough without the internet being full of alternetive facts. | |
| Feb 15, 2020 at 23:01 | comment | added | Ralph J♦ | @Jpe61 Just adding some context from the world that I work in to the text that somebody else posted. See my comment above from my Jeppesen manual if you need something "sourced". (Though I won't be posting a screenshot of a copyrighted product.) | |
| Feb 15, 2020 at 20:18 | comment | added | Jpe61 | Ok, so your answer is just an interpretation without verification? | |
| Feb 15, 2020 at 20:13 | comment | added | Ralph J♦ | @Sean Probably 31R's length, and the fact that it's too so close to 31C. | |
| Feb 15, 2020 at 20:08 | comment | added | Ralph J♦ | @Jpe61 No. I'm explaining what the text quoted in the question means. As your answer points out, everything is available for emergency use; the quoted text means that those runways are only available in that case to large aircraft. | |
| Feb 15, 2020 at 19:37 | comment | added | Jpe61 | Can you give a source for the 31's being emergency use only, as the source in the question has no source, if you get what I'm getting at? | |
| Feb 15, 2020 at 17:30 | comment | added | Vikki | Why is 4L/22R useable as a spare non-emergency runway, but not 13L/31R (which is almost as long as 4L/22R, has a significantly higher weight-bearing strength, and would allow almost-normal operations with 13C/31C and 4R/22L both closed, even if the winds are running along a northwest-southeast axis [instead of the northeast-southwest axis supported by 4L/22R])? | |
