From the Flight Deck - Reno/Tahoe International Airport (RNO)

Ғылым және технология

Reno/Tahoe International Airport (RNO) is a medium sized, multi-use airport, located on the southeast edge of the city of Reno, Nevada. The traffic mix consists of everything from small, back-country capable airplanes, all the way to heavy military transports. Pilot experience levels that vary from the beginning student pilot all the way to seasoned airline captain, along with the diverse aircraft and traffic mix, make Reno a challenging airport environment for pilots and controllers alike. The airport also experiences a major increase in traffic during the annual Burning Man Festival and the Reno Air races. Be aware that the runways at RNO were recently renamed due to magnetic variation. Active runways are now 17/35L, 17/35R and 8/26. RNO has parallel runways with staggered thresholds, making wrong surface landings a potential issue, and the airport is surrounded by higher terrain in all directions and has its own Class Charlie airspace. This video prepares pilots for other challenges, runway configurations and hot spots at RNO.
Visit www.faa.gov/rno for supplemental "pilot handbook" information on this airport including airport-specific cautions, information local controllers want pilots to know, airport communications, airspace details and other preflight planning resources.
To address wrong surface events where an aircraft lines up to or lands on the incorrect runway, taxiway, or airport, the FAA released Arrival Alert Notices (AAN) at various airports with a history of misalignment risk. View the RNO Arrival Alert Notice here: www.faa.gov/airports/runway_s...
The FAA's From the Flight Deck video series uses cockpit-mounted cameras to capture runway and taxiway footage and combines them with diagrams and visual graphics to clearly identify hot spots and other safety-sensitive items. Learn more at www.faa.gov/FromTheFlightDeck

    Runway and taxi way markings and lighting has also improved immensely over the years but when when in doubt I will stop and ask for help in an unfamiliar environment. I appreciate the video's.

    If you haven't already, this should be done for an airport like KDVT (Deer Valley/Phoenix, AZ) and/or KFFZ (Falcon Field, Mesa, AZ). Dual tower frequencies, contacting tower/ground for transfers from north/south runways, etc. becomes a nightmare for unfamiliar pilots, even experienced pilots unfamiliar with the airfields and operations. Also not sure why taxiways are not better demarcated vs. runways. I have seen aircraft lining up for the taxiway I just taxied onto, and have seen in the air, for newly paved taxiways, how deceiving it can be at certain airfields' runways & taxiway configurations while in the air.

    This video is not knowledgeable in regard to this airport. The calm wind (and instrument approaches) runways are the other end, 16R, L...and are not confusing. The challenges are the casinos which are in the approach for 16L. The surrounding mountains on both sides of the valley, and the constant cross-winds and wake turbulence issues make a bigger mess than landing on the less common 34R, L. Occasionally you will be asked to suddenly land on 7/25. But very rarely...the approach from the 25 end is treacherous as you have to bank on the East mountains to get aligned. Also, KRNO has been undergoing a lot of runway closures due to construction over the last couple of years. This has created danger due to all traffic forced to share a single runway. Esp when commercial traffic is forced onto 16L, the shorter runway and has to taxi much further to get to the passenger terminal.

    While you are correct that the calm wind runways are 17L/R (16L/R at the time of the making of this video), the main purpose of this video is to educate pilots so as to reduce the occurrence of wrong surface landings. Wrong surface landings occur mostly on the 35s (34s at the time of the making of this videos) for the reasons outlined in this video. So I have to politely disagree by saying that this video is very accurate at depicting the most common issues here at RNO.
