This is runway 19C, where planes touchdown. As the plane size increases, the exit point from the runway lengthens by one exit point.
This is an overview of the terminals in IAD.
This is the R-block terminal, which consists of 15 total stands. The stands are labeled between R1~R15. There are 13 S/M stands, and 2 M/L stands. There is no cost for terminal unlock This should be one of your first expansion terminals.
This is the terminal which has 46 M stands. This long terminal is split into thirds, and a terminal expansion has to bought 3 times in order to max out into its final form.
This is the terminal which has 20 L/XL stands the left third of the terminal is the B block, where the gates are labeled from B1~B12, the middle third is labeled between A1~A8, and the right third of the terminal is an S plane terminal, where 18 S planes can land. Each third costs 10,000 ￦ to expand the terminal.
This is the final passenger terminal. Here, S planes can dock, with a possibility of changing the Z8 gate to an M stand. The gates are labeled between Z1~Z8
This is the cargo terminal where S, M, L, and XL-sized cargo planes can land. There are 5 S/M gates, 6 M gates and 7L/XL gates.

Runways, pathways and terminals
Summary
Which runway will airplane use depends on the stand it is assigned to
Planes for Cargo terminal land on RWY 19C and takeoff also from RWY 19C.
Planes for Z stands land on RWY 19C and takeoff on RWY 19 L.
Planes for R stands land on RWY 19L and takeoff on RWY 30.
Planes for A stands land on RWY 19C and takeoff on RWY 30.
Planes for B stands land on RWY 19R and takeoff on RWY 19L.
Planes for C stands land on RWY 19C and takeoff on RWY 30.
Planes for D stands land on RWY 19R or 19C and takeoff on RWY 30.
Planes for 1-6 stands (S plane terminal) land on RWY 19R and takeoff on either RWY 30 or RWY 19L
Planes from RWY 19R need to cross RWY 1C/19C. They will wait for clearance from player or ground ATC
Planes can´t land on RWY 19R and RWY 19C simultaneously.
Limitations
Summary
Some gates are extremely far away from runway 19 C, which makes the taxiing time extremely long. The landing queue also can get extremely long as well. Calibrate when determining how often you clear a plane to land.
Recommended strategies:
From Delta1049: Buy 2 more S stands from the starting 2, and buy all M stands available at the start. From there you should be earning enough money to play how you want. (outdated due to new update)
