TPA's runway 9-27

Mon Jul 30, 2018 12:55 pm

How unusual is it for airline operations on Tampa's runway 9-27? I've probably flown in and out of TPA a dozen times and never seen an airliner land on 9-27, but last weekend, on a flight from Atlanta, our A321 flew a very entertaining approach parallel to I-275 and landed on 27. Yes, there were a lot of storms north and west of the airport. Rare?

Have also seen it used during the rare event of strong E-W crosswinds.

I remember seeing a DL L1011 land on it once back in the late 70s.

TPA tried to make me land with a 25 knot crosswind on the 1s.

No thanks, we will take 27.

Are you sure? Yes.

Next controller: You still want 27? Yes.

A lot of noise abatement issues for controllers to deal with.

If you ask for it, which is rare, you will get it

Yeah, the only airliners I regularly see use it are 3M.

Even the BA 777 has used it before.

Extensively used if a hurricane/troop storm is in the gulf blowing out of the west.

BA used it yesterday

By the way, it was changed to 10-28 a while ago...like 15 years.

Over the years I have seen plenty of heavy aircraft using this runway. More often, taking off and landing to the west. I used to enjoy spotting in a parking lot of the old TPA terminal adjacent to the old Boy Scout Rd. I have seen 707s,720s, 880s, stretched -8s, 747's, -10 s and L-1011s using this runway. Back in the early 90s landed to the east on a DL 762 out of ATL. Pretty cool to watch.

Sure you're not confusing that with the 18-36s changing to 1-19s? I could swear the east-west was changed first


EDIT: My bad...you are correct

When I worked there I saw numerous landings on it. Worked a ramp next to FedEx so we had a real good view of it. I flew DEN-TPA a couple years back and we landed on it, got a great view of Downtown Tampa.

Thanks for the videos! I lived in Clearwater for a year several years ago and regularly flew out of TPA. However, I never got to see 9-27 used during that time and have not been back since then.
