Tampa International works two north-south parallels and a shorter crosswind strip beside Tampa Bay. Southwest, Delta, American and United form the largest modeled passenger streams, with JetBlue and Frontier adding different equipment and pacing.

The FAA capacity profile documents 19L and 19R in south flow, with turbojet departures normally using 19R for noise abatement. This board places arrivals on 19L and departures on 19R; its north-flow split uses reciprocal pavement as a modeling choice. Runway 10/28 is real pavement but is not a normal jet flow here.

This is the Heavy tier: parallel arrivals, a narrow departure window and Class B shelves. The airport's detailed noise-abatement routes and runway restrictions are not simulated. Airline weights, north-flow assignments and traffic cadence are calibrated gameplay choices, not published schedules.
