Oakland · Field elevation 9 ft · 4 runways · West Flow and East Flow
Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport has a 10,520-foot airline runway beside three shorter strips. Southwest dominates the passenger bank, with FedEx and UPS adding cargo work.
You work NorCal Approach. West flow lands and departs 30; east flow uses 12. The FAA's all-day noise guidance directs turbine and heavy aircraft toward that long runway. The shorter parallels and GA strip remain visible, but the game does not route separate airline and GA banks onto different pavement.
The Busy tier is a same-runway sequencing challenge with nearby alternate pavement. Supported FAA procedures and Class C airspace are present. Exact carrier weights, traffic cadence and route mix are game choices. A detailed Bay shoreline, neighboring San Francisco coordination, terrain, MVA and MSAW are not modeled.
