Indianapolis International (KIND)

Indianapolis International is the passenger and freight anchor of Indianapolis Center. Two long northeast-southwest parallels carry the normal operation, while the 7,278-foot 14/32 crosses their northeast ends. FedEx's second-largest domestic hub makes cargo banks part of the field rather than an occasional interruption.

You work Indy Approach. Southwest, American, Delta and United share the passenger stream with Allegiant and Frontier, while FedEx widebodies build a separate freight rhythm. Southwest flow lands 23R and 23L while departures use 23L; northeast flow reverses to 05L and 05R. The current FAA cycle supplies six arrivals, three departure procedures and a full set of instrument approaches, including every runway end.

This is the Heavy tier: parallel arrival streams, airline wake sequencing and a genuine cargo hub on the same scope. Internal traffic weights and the simplified parallel runway split are our gameplay calibration, not claimed FAA traffic counts or a published runway-use plan.
