Runways are named after the magnetic heading you are facing when going in the direction of the runway for takeoff or landing, rounded to the nearest whole integer and the last digit dropped. For example; if you are taking off on runway 17, the compass in your aircraft will read close to 170 degrees. Runways are renamed when the magnetic heading changes to a point that they are no longer accurate. |
