do you need special training to be able at san francisco airport and if yes, how does this look like?

Question

and i mean special training for landing, because of the parallel approaches..

Answer 1

Rafael:

Sec. 61.95 - Operations in Class B airspace and at airports located within Class B airspace. SFO lies within class B airspace. There are special requirements to operate there if you are a student pilot flying solo.

Perhaps you are asking about the SOIA approaches. If so, then the answer is YES. The crew must have received SOIA training or they can't participate in a SOIA approach.

These approches were started a few years ago to allow greater use of the parallel runways at SFO in IMC conditions.

Otherwise, there is no special training required.

Answer 2

no

Its just an airport. The runways are close together but they are still long flat strips of concrete. No special training is required.

In order to use the LDA PRM you are required to watch a video put out by the FAA, but that rarely happens. And if you have not watched it all you need to do is fly the standard ILS rather than the PRM. Its not difficult.

Answer 3

Huh?

Even as a pilot, the only word I could make out of that question is 'airport'.

I think you mean special training to land at that airport, in which case, no, you don't.

Answer 4

Yes*

*if the PRM/SOIA system is in use and you plan to use it. There are training & crew limitations for these types of approaches, as well as equipment requirements (high scan radar for controllers and dual comm capability for breakoff instructions among others). Various training centers offer this type of instruction.

Answer 5

The answer is NO, because landing instructions are very specific "19L" vs "19R" and so on. If you can't line up on the right runway, you have bigger problems than just flying.

Answer 6

no, there are many airports with parallel runways, so that's really common.
