Memphis · Field elevation 341 ft · 4 runways · North Flow and South Flow
Frederick W. Smith International/Memphis puts the FedEx world hub beside three north-south parallels and the 9/27 crosswind runway. The longest strip, 18C/36C, is 11,120 feet, and the field sits at 341 feet.
The north flow lands 36L and 36R while departures use 36L and 36C; the south flow reverses to arrivals on 18R and 18L, departures on 18R and 18C. FedEx brings the heavies; American, Delta, Southwest and United bring passenger traffic, with smaller Allegiant, Frontier and Breeze shares. Wake spacing matters as much as the runway count.
A Heavy tier tower seat with Memphis Approach furnished by a separate facility. Published STARs, SIDs and approaches frame the traffic; exact carrier weights and bank intensity are authored for play, not a live schedule. Terrain, minimum vectoring altitudes and low-altitude alerts are not modeled.
