PHL Traffic Management Tips

Arrivals:

Converging ILS approaches authorized to RWY9R and RWY17 only.  When PHL runs approaches to any other 2 runways, the tower must provide visual separation at some point, thus the WX must be conducive to visual application.  TWR SUP makes the call.

General:

During east operations, PHL lands RWY9R and departs RWY9L.

During west operations, PHL lands RWY27R and departs RWY27L.

Conducting simultaneous operations to RWY9R and RWY35 or simultaneous operations to RWY27R and either RWY17 or RWY 35, requires that the tower provide visual separation.  These operations must be authorized by the tower supervisor.

PHL will offload arrival traffic to the departure runway to optimize capacity.

PHL has a lot of Tower Enroute traffic which does not show on the ASD.

PHL's parent center is ZNY, however, ZDC does have a direct feed.

When ZNY holds for PHL, it may impact J220 which is often used by ZDC as an offload route (back door) to the New York metro airports.
