  9. RUNWAY NUMBERING • Runway numbering system based on compass headings (360=North) • A Runway running north with a heading of 340 would be Runway 34 • The opposite end would be the 180 degree reciprocal or Runway 16 (340-180=160 or “16” • Runways have two ends. In aviation language the smaller number is always stated first eg. RWY 8/26

  10. RUNWAY NUMBERING • If runway heading is < than 180, then add 180 to obtain reciprocal runway eg. Runway 07 (70 + 180=250 or Runway 25) • If runway heading is > than 180, then subtract 180 to obtain reciprocal runway eg. Runway 25 (250 - 180= 070 or Runway 07)

  11. RUNWAY MARKINGS • Edge Lines---WHITE • Centerline---WHITE • Letters & numerals---WHITE, outlined in BLACK

  12. RUNWAY LIGHTING • Edge Lights—WHITE • Centerline Lights---WHITEexcept for last 3000 feet, then alternating Red & Yellow to last 1000 feet, then all Red 3 1
