Runway Map

The airport features three parallel runways:
16L/34R is 11,900ft (3,627m) x 150 ft (46m) ← Takeoff and Landing 24 hours.
16C/34C is 9,425ft (2,873m) x 150 ft (46m) ← Occasionally Takeoff and Landing.
16R/34L, is 8,500ft (2,591m) x 150 ft (46m) ← Only Landing allowing 24 hours.

If their aircraft, narrow-body, and wide-body landing on 16L or 34R Runway <-long feet.

All general narrow-body little aircraft and some wide-body are landing and takeoff:

    1. 16L/34R is 11,901 ft (3,627m) x 150 ft (46m) with the aircraft:
      Airbus A330-200, 300, 900neo, A350-900, Boeing 767-400ER, and 300F, Boeing 777-200ER, LR, and 777-300ER, Boeing 787-8, 9, and 10, DC-10F, and MD-11F, Boeing 747-400F, 8F, and Boeing 777F. All general Narrow-Body. More Wide-Body.
    1. 16C/34C is 9,425 ft (2,873m) x 150 ft (46m) with the aircraft:
      Airbus A330-200, 300, 900neo, A350-900, Boeing 767-400ER, Boeing 777-200ER, LR, and 777-300ER, Boeing 787-10, DC-10F, and MD-11F, Boeing 747-400F, 8F, and Boeing 777F. All general Narrow-Body. More Wide-Body.
    1. 16R/34L is 8,500 ft (2,591m) x 150 ft (46m) following the rules for landing allowed the notice with the aircraft all general Narrow-Body always and Wide-Body:

Boeing 777-300ER ← occasionally.
Boeing 787-10 ← occasionally.
DC-10F, and MD-11F probably able for allowing landing to be okay.
Boeing 747-400F, 8F, and Boeing 777F ← it does not make it much more than pounds, very hard landing does NOT allow landing on 16R/34L Runway it rules important.

Weather Around SeaTac Airport

  • 16L/34R is 11,901 ft (3,627m) normally both takeoff and landing for during season Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.
  1. In February, much snow had a problem with the 16L or 34R Runway clean up from the plane between 2 years from the snow.
  • 16C/34C Runway is 9,425 ft (2,873m) ← The winter, can’t allowing landing the much snow.
  1. Rain, are they landing on 16C or 34C Runway, it’s fine and if able to go takeoff probably and I am not sure.
  • 16R/34L Runway is 8,500 ft (2,591m) ← Daily is only allowing landing than 24/7 hours notice. The snow can’t be allowed on short runways, which was an important issue. Its aircraft, narrow-body, and wide-body knows the crosswind can’t be landing on short 34L or 16R Runway then can go around the and again come back to the landing on long 16L or 34R Runway the same between from November to April and I think or can’t remember?

I am deaf. If I am able to make a mistake in my statement grammar, change listing for airlines if I’m connected or not and I don’t know yet and any question about my concern for the info.

Happy Flying!

Unlike most other airports, KSEA is still a widespread user of non-RNAV procedures, especially in the easterly directions (the CHINS and GLASR arrivals; the SUMMA departure).

Unfortunately, this is extremely difficult to replicate properly in IF because VOR placement and radial locations are not super accurate like in real-life.

I’ve tried to do the CHINS/GLASR arrivals and SUMMA departure, and doing them properly (without RNAV) is very frustrating.

Which terminal would Cathay Pacific’s A350-900 land at? I know they used to fly pre-COVID and as they are slowly starting to increase their services again I am curious.
