Runways
• Runways numbered to correspond to magnetic bearing– Runway 27 has magnetic bearing 270
degrees• Active Runway selected for headwind
greater than 5 knots– When no wind use runway closest to terminal
(to minimize fuel burn in taxi)

Runway Configurations
• Single runway– Aligned with most common wind direction
• Parallel runways– Increase throughput
• Intersecting Runways– Typically right angles– Aligned with most common wind directions

Runway Terminology• Runway Designator –
magnetic bearing rounded• Threshold – beginning of
runway for landing• Displaced Threshold –
threshold not at beginning of paved area– Paved area behind threshold
is used for taxi’ing for takeoff, landing rollout (not for touchdown)
• Stopway areas – surface beyond of runway that is paved but unusable
23L
Landing portion of runway
Displaced Threshold
Non - Landing portion of runway
