Well, what's wrong with landing on a non-Xed runway? Does an X on one
make the entire airport un-landable?
I mean, I know the airport is closed (for an airshow?) but legally,
isn't it o.k. to land an the runway you did?


I don't remember the details, it was a long time ago... maybe the X was in
the center, probably the whole airport was NOTAM'd closed.


Or maybe the FAA guy later decided what we did was in fact legal but
didn't want to admit it.


It's possible to close only one runway and in fact, this happens quite often
at larger airports with numerous runways.



Closing one runway happens all the time at KAHN in the Fall. When UGA
has a home game they'll close 2/20 and use it for parking and let the
9/27 primary handle all the traffic.
