Ever noticed those big white numbers painted at the ends of airport runways? 🧐 They’re not random—they follow a smart system based on compass orientation! In this video, we break down how runway numbers are assigned and what they mean for pilots and air traffic controllers.

🛬 You’ll learn:

How runway numbers are based on magnetic heading (e.g. Runway 27 = 270°)

Why runways are numbered between 01 and 36

What left (L), right (R), and center (C) mean on parallel runways

How runways are renumbered if magnetic north shifts

Real-world airport examples and visual diagrams for easy understanding

Perfect for aviation students, travelers, and anyone who’s ever looked out the airplane window and wondered what those numbers really mean.
