Win-Win Proposal
Much of this site is unfortunately necessary to correct the inaccuracies that have been flooded into the media. This part is much more positive. There are 2 changes that DAA can make to the Runway 28R and 28L tracks that will have a massive impact.
The results include:
- The airport will have capacity to increase the number of flights it can handle
- Thousands fewer people overflown
- Increased safety for departing aircraft
- Very likely to be in compliance with DAA’s existing granted planning permission
Most of it is explained in the Motorway in the Sky article. The specific technical and bureaucratic issues are addressed in a presentation you can download by clicking the button below. The proposal has already been flight tested in the training simulator for the aircraft that use Dublin Airport and every one of them can do it on one engine.
By it’s nature the proposal includes plenty of aviation jargon. If you’re not an aviation nerd you may not recognize all the terminology or understand some of how runways work. Please have a look in the Aviation Technical section of Runway Information
