BUSY TIER APPROACH GA SLIVER

Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International is central Mississippi's airline gateway, with two equal 8,500-foot parallels and its own Class C approach control.

You work Jackson Approach and the local-control sequence beneath it. American, Delta, Southwest and United connect the capital region to their hubs, with business and GA traffic filling the gaps. South flow lands 16L and departs 16R; north flow lands 34R and departs 34L. The exact parallel split is gameplay modeling because no current runway-use plan was sourced. The current cycle carries eight approaches but no arrivals or departure procedures, so every IFR departure leaves on radar vectors.

This is the Busy tier: two parallel runways, a real regional-airline mix and radar ownership make sequencing, approach capture and handoffs the work.
