Orlando International (KMCO)

Orlando International has four north-south runways in two pairs, with the long west pair reaching 12,005 feet. Southwest, Delta, American and United make a varied passenger bank alongside FedEx and UPS cargo flights.

You work Orlando Approach. The airport authority favors south flow on runways 17 and 18; the north alternative uses 35 and 36. The game divides the paired runways into representative arrival and departure streams while FAA procedures feed the approach and departure paths.

The Heavy tier asks you to balance parallel arrivals, releases and wake spacing. The exact runway-role split, carrier weights, route subset and pacing are gameplay calibration. Terrain, minimum vectoring altitudes and MSAW are not modeled.
