Bowman Field is Louisville's close-in general-aviation reliever. Runway 06/24 crosses 15/33 beside the Ohio River, with displaced thresholds on all four ends and a field built around training and business flying rather than airline service.

The two game configurations use runway 24 and runway 33, the ends served by the current FAA procedure cycle. Three arrivals and two approaches feed a GA-heavy stream of trainers, pistons, turboprops and ExecJet/Flexjet business aircraft; every IFR departure leaves on radar vectors.

This is the Steady tier: a Level 6 tower where pattern traffic and faster corporate arrivals make the crossing geometry matter. The flow and traffic weights are authored calibration, not a claimed facility runway-use plan or live schedule.
