Runway Designation
Runway Placement
Constrained By Land and Wind
Angle Conversion
The runway bearing is typically
reported as a Bearing Angle
Runway Designation uses the Azimuth
Angle
Solve
What should the runway designation be?
Solution
1. N54o30W Bearing Angle =>
305.50o Azimuth Angle
2. -14.75 Magnetic Variance
305.50o - 14.75o = 290.75o
3. Divide the Bearing by 10
290.75o / 10 = 29.075
4. Round to the nearest whole number
29.075 => 29
5. Runway designation 11-29
Example
Reno Runway 34L-16R, D-IV
Stead 826, C-II
Carson 9-27 B-II
