Why is Runway 36 the most utilized for takeoffs and landings?
At OXC, Runway 36 is the preferred runway for takeoffs and landings for the following reasons: • Runway 36 is equipped with an Instrument Landing System (ILS). This allows landings on Runway 36 to occur under lower-visibility conditions. Runway 18 is not equipped with an ILS. • OXC airspace is under New York Traffic Control, which requires specific takeoff and landing procedures. With landings occurring on Runway 36, the preferred runway for takeoff is also Runway 36. • The Noise Study will investigate potential changes to runway use under certain conditions.
