[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone wiser please correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe north flow means better safety and efficiency because you’re not using the river visual (manual flying) landing that direction. It makes sense that ATC would use it as the default absent weather constraints. [/quote] Not all flights from the north use a visual approach; when the weather sucks but they have to come in from that way, it's a GPS assisted landing with a slightly different plan. And like a PP said, the air traffic is coordinated between all 3 airports in the area, so apparently south flow just works better for that coordination.[/quote]
