Misnumbering runways
Acknowledged, WishlistPublic

Description

Not really checked all of the numbers, but I know that the runways:

  1. Have numbers facing the wrong way - they should face traffic landing and the direction taking off.
  2. Are not on the correct magnetic heading, (will check this again).

All runways are marked the same all over the world, they have to be - otherwise there would be numerous collisions.

  1. All runways are numbered by their magnetic heading, the first two numerals comprise the number put on the field. If a runway faces 040 degrees, its runway 04 although pilots may say "runway 4". If the runway faces 260 degrees, then its "runway 26".
  1. The numbers face the direction of travel on the runway.

Checked numbers at NE airfield, numbers are correct, they are just facing the wrong way.
