How is current runway combination usage at Frankfurt? Landing 25L and 25R and departure 25C and 18 (don't recall the number, but west runway)?

I should like to understand how the new runway is impacting the spotterplace at 25L.

Nice pictures by the way :)

Choose 25R, it's way better than that dirty noisy spot along the A5 :wink:

Dirty? No. Noisy, well can't argue with that.

The impact is that you miss a lot of 777,s A330, A340 and smaller stuff that's coming from mostly the north. But there is no hard fact that south traffic lands on 25L and North traffic on 25R. You have to choice what you want and what you like. Spot at 25L offers the heavy traffic with A380's, 747's and MD-11's, Other types are a gamble were they land. Also the towed aircraft pass by and some traffic, mostly the smaller ones, for departure runway 18/36.

Do you happen to have a pic of the departing Air Berlin 737 (D-AGEN) around 1130?
