  • Runways can be used from either direction, usually they try to land with a headwind if there is significant wind I think. I think the localizer antenna can be at both ends of the runway if both directions have ILS approaches, but I’m not an expert. The concrete mound for the antenna is getting a lot of focus because it made a runway excursion so much worse.

    It seems to me like they may have decided to make the landing then due to losing altitude and thinking they wouldn’t be able to climb again, but hopefully the investigation can figure out what probably happened.
