Runway NumberingRunway Numbering

A runway number is taken from a bearing of the direction that it points. Numbers are rounded off to the nearest 10°. The numbers are marked at the end of every runway in large white numbers.– Example

A runway pointing to 18° magnetic would be numbered 02.


Runway MarkingsRunway Markings

Centreline:– white lines in the middle of the runway to mark the

centre.

Threshold:– white line running across the runway.

Displaced Threshold:– sometimes the threshold is unsafe for landing so it is

moved up to a safe area.

Taxiway Centerline:– yellow line used as a guide to keep the aircraft in the

center of the taxiway.

Hold Lines:– yellow line running across the taxiway.

Aircraft must “hold short” at this point until cleared for take-off.

Unserviceable:– marked with large white or yellow X’s on

both ends of a runway or taxiway. Red flags are also used to mark unserviceable areas that can be passable with caution.

Wind Sock: elongates as the wind increases if the wind sock is straight out

then the wind is 15Kts or more if the wing sock is on a 30° down

slope then the wind is 6Kts if the sock is fluctuating then

gusty conditions exist.

Tetrahedron: known as wind T, it is designed like an arrow whose

small end points into the wind. only tells wind direction, not wind speed.

Runway thresholds are marked with green lights. End of runways are marked with red lights. Runways are lined with white lights. Taxiways are lined with blue lights. Obstructions, such as building and towers, are

marked with red or white lights.

Congratulations!!

You have now completed the Aerodromes and Traffic Procedures lesson of the Aeronautical Rules and Facilities Module. Of course, this lesson is always available to you for future reference if required.

You are now ready to move along to the next Aeronautical Rules and Facilities lesson you have not completed or to any other module you wish. You can advance to the Self Test Module if you feel ready to challenge the final exam.

Good Luck!
