PFPX Runways

Like it was said. ASN simply chooses the RWY depending on the wind.

 

What  do (like also said before): Go to Flightradar and take a look which runways are in use. Simple. Also in Real Life the runway may change because the weather changes or whatever. I find it very interesting to change the arrival during the arrival ;-) Adds a bit of workload and realism.

Additionally: Check ATIS before descent, it will state the Runway in use.

A lot of european airports have a preferrential runway system. Sometimes is not weather related if winds are less than 10 or 15kts.

For example:

LEBL, you should use:

- 25R for landings and 25L for takeoffs at day if winds are less than 10kts.

- 07L for landings and 07R for takeoffs at day if winds are more than 10kts and east winds.

- 02 for landings and 07R for takeoffs at night if winds are less than 10kts.

- 25L for landings and takeoffs at night if winds are more than 10kts and and west winds.

 

Look charts and local regulations when planning a flight!

Where would I see it then? I can't find it...

Should be once you select the airframe while planning a flight. In the aircraft section under 'Cruise'. Sometimes it will default to LRC (long range cruise) but if the profile supports it, you should be able to enter a Cost Index (CI). So just change LRC to 80 for example and it will then autocomplete and should read CI80.
