@Iori.Thomas Жыл бұрын

Airports change runways direction because taking off and landing into the wind can be done at lower speeds and in less time. Simply put, when taking off, a headwind will create more lift. When landing, winds at your nose will also act as a speed break by creating drag against the airframe to slow the aircraft down.

@WillsWhereabouts Жыл бұрын

Well there we have it! I knew there would be someone watching who would be able to share some knowledge about this! Thanks for this ✈️

@benfoster3304 Жыл бұрын

Love your videos Will! Planes land and take off into the wind because it’s much safer too, a tailwind speeds the plane up and can cause it to be unstable on final approach, a head wind creates more lift on takeoff so enables a lower take off speed so less fuel and on landing creates drag helping to slow the plane down do planes love headwinds when close to the ground 👍😀

When I stayed in Horley during the summer of 1984, aged 14, my bedroom in the family house had a direct view of all the planes only moments from landing at Gatwick. It was a constant parade of gigantic 747s from all over the world, and absolutely fascinating for a kid from the western North Carolina mountains!

Great video as always. I’ve camped in my estate car in that car park, but due to my flight being delayed until the following day. Not quite as comfortable as Mary, but better than trying to sleep in the terminal building. Fortunately I had my Duvalay with me (staying with friends in London on my return, sofa surfing) so could have been worse. I parked under the double layer bit so I could leave the windows cracked open for a bit of ventilation without worrying about it raining overnight - it’s also a bit quieter if planes are arriving/departing but not so great a view.

You were right about wind being a reason for airports changing runway directions. Airplanes takeoff and land into the wind, so they change direction of takeoffs and landings accordingly. With the parking lot ticket, you will be billed in the mail most likely. The ticket pairs with your license plate. When you leave the cameras read your license plate. The computer then calculates whether you stayed shorter, longer or the exact time. it then uses the address that corresponds with the license plate, to send the bill. Don't worry, you'll have to pay one way or another. Nice video Will. Safe travels and stay blessed.

I've stealth camped at Gatwick in my van after my friends done it. It's surprisingly well known. I received a fine though. I had the exact same issue where the barriers wouldn't let me in. Pulled a ticket. Ate and slept in my van. I left the car park the following morning. The barriers went up. I thought hey, cool, it recognises my plate and knows I paid already. A week later, I received a £500 fine for failing to pay. It took me three weeks to get it sorted.
