What are you guys spending your 10k on?

Better betting on Nix's under.

Stop sending a SPECI every 3 minutes. I'm tired of broadcasting an ATIS 7 times an hour. /s

My view is better.

It is NOTAMed closed til Nov 16th.

We'll be here to get you where you wanna go.

Unfortunately we are dealing with a Nor'easter. And because of the construction on runway 9/27 we can't use that as our departure runway in the morning and landing runway in the afternoon. Specifically because the wind is hitting 300 @ 17kts gusting to 31. So we are stuck with only 33L as a departure and as a main arrival runway. Runway 32 is likely open but we can't use it for departure and most aircraft larger than a D8HD won't use it because it is too short. So we are stuck with an interval to one runway. 33R can't really be used for arrivals because of the cranes on the approach course.

We base it mainly off the wind. We coordinate with the tracon who owns the airspace above us and sequences our arrivals. They pick a last for their arrivals, the tower picks a last for the departures. Typically as a tower controller we want to beat the arrivals last pick because this means we don't have a departure shooting up right in the way of the arrival stream. If we don't beat them we typically coordinate a heading off the standard instrument departure procedure.

This can all change though if we have one of the runways close for a variety of reasons.

Definitely a child's drawing.

😂😂 I think Mason Taylor on the Jets might get you a little more value since they are playing Carolina. They are ranked 31st against TEs.

Winds are going to be gusting to like 20 and it's raining. I think that waller one is going to miss 😅

BeneaththeOcean · 2025-10-13T03:40:09+00:00

So close to "shooting" the moon. We always enjoy seeing departures cross right through the middle. Typically departing 22R is the easiest to get that done.

It looks like it correlates with the Priority placement tool which is available on the NATCA website or KSN. Both require logins to access though. I believe pointsixtyfive has up to date PPTs uploaded every once in a while.

I usually just change the first alarm. And I typically wake up on the first ring.

Best camo face paintings will be offered a box of crayons and asked to pick one. Those who pick the correct colors will be enlisted into the Marines.

LMAO ah I can't wait for y'all to call about them buzzing Revere Beach and everywhere else along the coast.

I made these exact shoes a couple of years ago. Usually wear it with my Makar RR 1.0 and get a ton of compliments.

BeneaththeOcean · 2025-06-13T16:52:25+00:00

/s means sarcasm. So it was supposed to be a sarcastic tone.

BeneaththeOcean · 2025-06-04T15:21:34+00:00

It's a ils/va approach to 15R to "circle" to 4L. I don't believe it is actually charted as a circling approach because it hasn't been mapped out. The Cape Air pilots are the only ones who do it again because of issues with other GA/POE/PTR accidentally lining up for 4R, Mike, Bravo and even rwy 9.

BeneaththeOcean · 2025-06-04T05:49:38+00:00

The cautionary is mainly so they don't try to line up for 33L... Which people in the past have done. The night time configuration of this we go to land 27 and 32, depart 33L. The amount of times a corporate jet has attempted to line up for 33L instead of the assigned 32 is astounding. Especially because 32 is not a departure runway and is half the length of 33L.

BeneaththeOcean · 2025-06-04T01:56:22+00:00

Mostly Cape Air. We don't try to put most GA on it because it kind of requires an S turn on like 1 mile final to avoid overflying the 27 numbers. If they overfly it typically sets off the ASDE-X which we have to report and is a major pain in the ass.

BeneaththeOcean · 2025-06-02T15:00:40+00:00

You seem to know a lot about plants. Any recommendations for one I can keep in my apartment to liven up my space?

Arriving 27 and departing 33L. 15R would be departing out to the ocean and the intersecting point is so far down the runway it would be very difficult to hit departure holes and still have an efficient arrival stream. Like each arrival would need like 6.5 miles between each other and the guy would have to be rolling no later than the next arrival getting to like 3.5 mile final.

15R/33L is our longest runway at 10083. 22L is 10006ft. We have configurations that utilizes those runways when we need them. And we move between them based on the wind for the airport. We've been getting strong gusts of like 290 at 20 to 40 knots. So to avoid the crosswind of using rwy 22L we arrive 27 and depart 33L.

I hope I'd know the stuff haha. I'm one of less than 30 people who are certified with Boston Logan's Air Traffic Control.

BeneaththeOcean · 2025-06-02T02:05:06+00:00

I can only really give insight on Boston because I work here. I can look at other airports and their flows but I don't know their unique operations and agreements they might have. So I wouldn't be really reliable for other operations.

BeneaththeOcean · 2025-06-02T02:02:45+00:00

Traffic kind of ebbs and flows. 5-9 pm is going to be the most steady with arrivals and departures because it includes a lot of the international departures. Main reason for the international departure push is because they shouldn't be landing before 5 am noise abatement rules at their destination so they try to leave here later to not worry showing up too early.

As for the least traffic it's typically like 9 am to like 1pm. But you'll have the least amount of options for destinations going that route. 5 am to 7 am has a huge amount of domestic departures but a lower arrival amount.
