Dallas Fort Worth International has seven runways arranged in north-south banks with two diagonal crosswind strips. Its longest parallel measures 13,401 feet; Grapevine Lake sits just northwest of the field. American Airlines is the dominant carrier on this board.

South flow brings arrivals to 18R, 17C, 17L and 13R while departures use 18L and 17R. North flow reverses the parallel banks, with 31R joining the arrival side. Published arrival and departure procedures feed the scope from all quadrants; the game simplifies their unsupported leg types instead of inventing paths.

This is the Heavy tier: simultaneous arrival streams, closely spaced parallels and frequent departures. Envoy provides a substantial regional feed beneath American's mainline traffic. Traffic cadence and carrier weights are gameplay calibration, not a claim about an FAA hourly schedule.
