Category C – runways which can only be landed on by experienced pilots who have had specific simulator training. One example of a Category C airport in the UK is London City Airport. It's a relatively short runway in a very tight area, surrounded by buildings – it's got Canary Wharf at one end.

Is There a Runway 0? You shouldn't find any runway numbered either “0” or “00”. Any runway which points to magnetic north will normally be given the designator “36” (as in 360 degrees). This will also correspond with the headings read out by both ATC and the pilot.

For code, F ICAO to be 155 meters specifies aircraft the width of the lower surface. The justification used is that not only the wingspan is 20 meters larger (on initial code E 60 meters) but also the runway width is 15 meters larger (60 meters code E).

“27” requires a heading of 270 degrees (due west, as it turns out). If there are two parallel runways, they become left and right (or “L” and “R”). “27R” is the rightmost of two runways which both require an approach at 270 degrees.

A: The runway number is the approximate magnetic heading. As an example, runway 35 is pointing approximately 350 degrees magnetic. The opposite end of the runway is 17 or approximately 170 degrees magnetic.
