A runway is aligned to a magnetic heading of about 270 degrees. What runway number should it carry?
- A.Runway 09
- B.Runway 27
- C.Runway 270
Correct answer
B. Runway 27
Why
Runway numbers are the magnetic heading divided by ten and rounded to the nearest whole number. A heading of 270 degrees therefore becomes runway 27, with runway 09 at the opposite end.
