Parallel plane landing - GIF

[Frank S]

Can't be sure but that is a very familiar pattern that I have seen at SFO many times. IIRC, all parallel runways are spaced about a 1/4 mile or more apart. The extremely long telephoto shrinks the perspective making them look much closer than reality. After an crash a few years ago, new flight rules require all Asian airlines to hand-fly a visual approach and landing. Prior to that an instrument landing was available to all.

I can think of a couple of Middle Eastern pilots I wouldn't want to have landing at any airport with more than a single runway, instrument manual or tethered the 2 pilots I know, used to fly for Emirates
