Subjects : At the International Airport of Milan Malpensa you can make the "Plane Spotting", which translated from English means literally catch or spy planes. The planspotters (called "spotter"), then, are nothing but airplane enthusiasts who, in some way, try to "live" the life of the airport traffic through, above all, the fotografia.DATI TECHNICAL AIRPORT: Airport Malpensa has two parallel runways, each 3,920 meters long and 60 wide (ICAO 4F classification), oriented at 349 ° (or 169 °, depending on the direction of use) and 808 m apart from each other; the 17L, 35L and 35R are equipped with ILS and have all the PAPI system. Normally they use the two tracks oriented at 349 ° (alternately for departures and arrivals), while the heads 17 are active only in case of unfavorable wind conditions or when there are no planes landing; for this aircraft headed south they are scrambled in this way, but it is rare. Often the first aircraft to take off from runway 17 morning to promote their destinations. Each terminal has its own parking apron aeromobili.Per regard to the Terminal, unlike Rome Fiumicino, are in a total of 2, classified as T1 and T2. Terminal 1 is used for the traffic management of scheduled flights from Terminal 2 while mainly operating companies of charter and low-fare. WHAT YOU CAN 'TAKE PICTURES: Malpensa can rely on a rather heterogeneous traffic, unfortunately heavily penalized from the nearby airport of Milan Linate, given by: airliners, charter, cargo and, not rarely, some military aircraft. Remember, too, that with the Expo 2015 is not uncommon to see some foreign government plane. They range from the Airbus A319, the 330, some 340, 380 of the Emirates, the Boeing 737, 747, some 757, 767, 777, 787, Embraer and many others, not to mention the presence of aircraft liveries "special" (greedy for fans of Spotting). Finally the cargo more 'big in the world, the Antonov 225 Mirya. In the area of ??T1 is the base of operations of the airline Easy Jet, while in the area T2 are: Emirates, Qatar, Delta, American Airlines, etc. Finally the cargo area with Qatar, Saudia, NCA, Silkway, Fedex, etc. The activity is tolerated by the police who patrol the perimeter, but we must remember that it is forbidden to use and listening to radio and scanner in the Air Band (proibitissimo) and is also not recommended to take pictures through the windows of the terminal, worth the risk of receiving a stern warning from the Polizia.Al Unlike many other airports, there are terraces. OBSERVATION POINTS: There are several points of observation and, in most cases you have to take into account two factors: the morning hours - afternoon and reversal of the slopes (between 35L and 35R), every 8 hours, compared to noise standards.
