KSAN and Runway 27

Featured Replies

Hi all, does anybody know how to get the sim to use Runway 27 with real weather enabled more often? It seems like it's always preferring Runway 9. Grown-up in San Diego runway 27 is always used more often since the winds are coming from the West

Are you finding mismatch between winds and runway, or is it that METAR local ground level winds when you happen to be there is more east-biased?  I think since MSFS started doing much better matching ATC and METAR it seems to be fairly balanced, 27 and 9 use that is.

I notice that ATC has an option 'Request another runway' when you are given your taxi clearance. I tried it a few days ago but it only offered the parallel runway.

Flew in there  the other night with live weather and ATC gave me runway 27. Departed yesterday and got 27 as well.

Recently ATC has done a better job of matching up the proper runway with surface winds, but the last couple of days, at least for me, it's regressed.  The last several flights ATC has assigned the absolute wrong runway - if I followed their assignment I would have had 20+ knot quartering tailwinds.

I ignored their instructions and used the appropriate runways for the winds.  Sad, as I thought they had made progress with this item.

They absolutely made progress, so you thought right.

I can assure that you land on runway 27 by selecting desired approach in MSFS flight planner prior the flight. MSFS ATC doesn't understand real world  traffic flow. So it will chose runway based on wind or direction or departure direction.

IRL it's not uncommon for runway 9 being in service. Runway 9 is the only one that have ILS. And approach itself causing less noise. On foggy day or during santa ana wind runway 9 would be a good choice

I fly into KSAN a lot using real-time weather and I get RWY 27 9 out of 10 times.

Thanks for the reply..yes I have noticed a bit more use on 27.
