For example, if the magnetic heading of a runway is 233°, it is designated Runway 23. If the magnetic heading changes downwards by 5 degrees to 228°, the runway remains Runway 23. If on the other hand the original magnetic heading was 226° (Runway 23), and the heading decreased by only 2 degrees to 224°, the runway becomes Runway 22.
Each indicated airport has an airport data block associated with it. The block may contain just the name, altitude and runway length, or any of the following additional information, among others. Part-time tower operation (a star symbol). FSS, ATIS/AWOS, CTAF indicators; Control tower, ATIS, UNICOM frequencies, as available; Right traffic ...
A runway safety area (RSA) or runway end safety area (RESA, if at the end of the runway) is defined as "the surface surrounding the runway prepared or suitable for reducing the risk of damage to airplanes in the event of an undershoot, [1] overshoot, or excursion from the runway." [2] Past standards called for the RSA to extend only 60m (200 ...
The purpose of this is to provide arriving aircraft with the best runway to land on according to the wind direction. Runway orientation is determined from historical data of the prevailing winds in the area. This is especially important for single-runway airports that do not have the option of a second runway pointed in an alternative direction.
The airport has a grass landing area which has existed since 1932. [2] Runway 14: Runway heading- 137 magnetic, 136 true Displaced threshold: approx 150 ft. Runway 32: Runway heading- 317 magnetic, 316 true; Displaced threshold: 324 ft. There is a lighted windsock and a rotating beacon near the FBO building on the east side of the runway.
Runway 29L at Indira Gandhi International Airport, in Delhi, India, has a displaced threshold of 1,460 m (4,790 ft) from the physical beginning of the pavement. [4] This produces a 1.5 km portion of runway that cannot be used for landing in this direction. This, in turn decreases the available landing length on runway 29L to 2,970 m (9,744 ft).

The end closest to Rock Road is Runway 24, bearing a magnetic heading of 243 degrees. Runway 24 is equipped with an instrument landing system (ILS) and is used as the primary landing and departing runway. Runway 6 is used as a visual runway; however, infrastructure has been considered to improve satellite-based approaches. [17]
