In 2004, Manchester was voted Britain’s premier spotting airport by a well-known aviation magazine, and anyone who has been there will probably agree with them. It is not a question of which is the best place to watch planes at Manchester, more a question of which spot do I want to choose? | |||
MAN has 2 parallel runways, 24R / 06L (Runway 1) and 24L / 06R (Runway 2) . Aircraft movements are generally inbound on 24R and outbound on 24L. However the wind direction shifts approx 20% of the year and this flow is reversed. During the quieter period of each day from 12.00pm to 15.00pm, the airport reverts to single runway use and uses 24R / 06L (Runway 1) for both inbound and outbound flights. | |||
