Reno/Tahoe International Airport (KRNO)

Reno/Tahoe International Airport sits at 4,415 feet in a mountain valley. The 17R/35L and 17L/35R parallels carry most traffic, while the crossing 8/26 runway remains on the board. Southwest, United, Alaska, Delta and American anchor the scheduled mix.

You work Norcal Approach. The airport authority describes south flow on 17R and 17L and north flow on 35L and 35R; the modeled seat gives the long western parallel to arrivals and the eastern parallel to departures. Published FAA procedures feed the IFR streams.

The Busy tier mixes scheduled service, business jets and general aviation. Exact runway role split, carrier weights, route sample and cadence are game calibration. Terrain, minimum vectoring altitudes and MSAW are not modeled, so the scope cannot validate mountain clearance.
