opposing bases
1. A term used to describe the positions of aircraft approaching final approach courses for parallel runways from opposite sides of the final approach courses. For example, an aircraft approaching the final for runway 27R from the NORTH and an aircraft approaching the final for runway 27L from the south would be on opposing bases. Base legs refer to the portion of the pattern prior to turning onto final. 2. The name of a podcast about air traffic hosted by AG and RH.
1. I was flying into Greensboro and the awesome air traffic controller had me aimed directly at the aircraft to the parallel runway; I am glad they know how to apply the separation rules for opposing bases so we didn't get too close!
2. I was listening to "Opposing Bases" yesterday and really enjoyed the show!
