How Runways are Named/Numbered

Find out how runways are named and the meaning of runway reciprocals.

Just subtract 18 if the number is greater than 18 OR add 18 if the number is less than 18
Eg RWY 27 - 18 = RWY 09 (more)
Eg RWY 08 + 18= RWY 26 (less)

Awesome vid! I'm still in ground training and i was having trouble with the reciprocals the other day till i saw this. Thanks this was very helpful for me 😁

Great explanation! Must say that I've seen a couple of other videos on this but wasn't clear on naming. But your video explained so easily and covered the subtle points. For example, the number on any given side of the runway does NOT indicate the direction in which lies but the direction to which it points! This can be a point of confusion.
Thanks!

Just add 18 to get the reciprocal. Works for me.

O this was great cleared up the labeling of runways so technically it seems as the most runways you have are 18 different ones at an airport with the other 18 being reciprocals of the others. Is this a standard where you always round up 10 degree increments.

The reciprocal of runway 27 is not 09.
As if we add 180+270= 450
so the reciprocal of runway 27 is 45.

[@ntakiruta4160]

Reciprocal of runway 27 is 09,bcs,27-18=09
