There's not necessarily any problem there. Under the right conditions

there
can be more than one airplane using the runway at any given moment.

True enough.

I think the most I've seen using one runway together is ten - but
the RAF Red Arrows (including the pilot of the reserve aeroplane)
know a thing or two about close-quarters flight ...


If you think the only time more than one airplane can be using the runway

at
any given moment is formation operations, you're mistaken.



Then enlighten us, from what i've been taught and understand its a 1 at a
time deal, exception would be formation flights, some LAHSO, and
emergencies. Its also a policy at our school to not simultaneously use a
runway (either in cooperation with CFR14 or in addition to CFR14).



I have landed at Oshkosh, where they were landing 4 at a time (2 long, 2
at threshold) on 27 and two at a time on 18.
