RADAR-SIMKMIA – Miami International Airport
Miami, United States · 25.796°N 80.290°W · elevation 7 ft
Control the traffic at Miami International Airport in radar-sim, a free air traffic control simulator that runs in the browser: as tower you issue take-off and landing clearances on 08L/26R, 08R/26L, 09/27 and 12/30, as approach you vector and sequence the arrivals onto the ILS. No download, no account.

Runways
| Runway | Length | Width | Surface | True heading |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 08L/26R | 2,621 m (8,599 ft) | 46 m | asphalt | 087° / 267° |
| 08R/26L | 3,202 m (10,505 ft) | 61 m | asphalt | 087° / 267° |
| 09/27 | 3,967 m (13,015 ft) | 46 m | asphalt | 087° / 267° |
| 12/30 | 2,853 m (9,360 ft) | 46 m | asphalt | 120° / 300° |
The airport has 4 runways. The parallel runways 08L/26R, 08R/26L and 09/27: 08L/26R – 08R/26L (247 m) lies closer than 760 m and is worked as one runway, arrivals to both ends separated like on a single final; the other combinations are far enough apart (1035 m) for independent parallel approaches. 09/27 – 12/30 cross each other: a departure on one and an arrival on short final to the other block each other. The runways in use depend on the traffic level and the wind: one (the best headwind among the longest, here 09/27 with 3,967 m) on low, two on medium, and on high every runway with a headwind component and at most 20 kt crosswind.
Airspace
The simulated control zone is a circle of 5 NM around the field with extensions along the instrument runways, up to 2,500 ft. In approach sessions arrivals check in over an entry fix and are vectored or sent direct to the initial approach fix of the runway in use; in tower sessions a virtual approach controller does this and hands them over established on the ILS inside 10 NM.
