inspgadget Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Sorry for all the stupid questions guys. So when ATC tells me to taxi to runway 30, does that mean I go to the end where 30 starts and turn around and fly towards whatever compass heading is the opposite of 300 or do I start at the other end and takeoff in the direction of 300 degrees?

harm_ Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) You go to the runway header where the 30 is painted. You will take-off on heading 300. Edit: The same applies on landing, when ATC vectors you to runway 30, you will land in that heading. 300.

Xavven Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 ^^^^ what harm said. The number of the runway = the heading you would use (rounded to the nearest 10 degrees) to land or depart from that runway. You land/depart runway 30 at a heading of ~300. You land/depart runway 12 at a heading of ~120. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
