[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the problems is that the FAA makes most of the flights land from the South even when winds are from the south. They think they can increase capacity because of the two runways there, but it gets so busy that it is dangerous. So many people asked the FAA why they insist on landing from the south most of the time and this is what the FAA put out:

Omg stop.

You land INTO the wind, for control purposes.
And you takeoff WITH the wind.

So runway direction uses changes based on the wind.

In fact the runways were out in place given main wind patterns of the immediate area and climate.[/quote]

They should be landing into the wind but often when the winds from the south are light, they still land them from the south. You can easily check that. They also land them from the south in east and west winds.[/quote]
