Flight Safety Considerations
- Parallel Runway Operation, need to be carefully managed in such a manner as to minimise the risk of runway incursion or wrong runway use due. Closely-spaced parallel runways may affect the pilots' situational awareness or lead to their distraction or confusion.
- Fog, is effectively surface cloud and has a significant impact on the conduct of flying operations particularly landing and take-off.
- Low overcast cloud and fog is very common from October to March.
