Lubbock Preston Smith International (KLBB)

Lubbock Preston Smith International is the South Plains' Class C airline gateway, with an 11,500-foot north-south runway, an 8,003-foot crosswind runway and a short parallel limited to smaller aircraft.

You work Lubbock Approach and the local-control sequence. Southwest, American and United share the board with business and training traffic. South and north flows use 17R and 35L; east and west flows use 8 and 26. The 2,891-foot 17L/35R is drawn as real pavement but never offered for air-carrier traffic. No preferred-runway order was sourced, so these configurations are gameplay modeling. The FAA CIFP cycle has approaches but no STAR or SID, so IFR departures leave on radar vectors.

This is the Busy tier: the long precision strip, crossing 8/26 and a short GA parallel make runway choice and mixed-speed sequencing the work. Airline weights and cadence are modeled, not an observed daily schedule.
