Now let us understand what this statement means: Landings and take off best done into (against/head) wind. 1.2 The impact of wind in the determination of Runway Orientation North-oriented runways are designated 36 (not 00). By the end of the article you will know why. Well as an interesting fact most of the runways in the north eastern region of India have the runway designator 02-20. Note : 02 here will be the designator the other end of the runway described in the image above the heading of which is received by a subtracting 180 degrees to the heading of 220 degrees runway extremity. if one of the runways is 22 then the other will be 02. The difference between the numbers is 180 ( i.e. This means that although there is one physical surface used for take-offs and landings, it is treated as two runways. If the runway is used in both directions, then each of them receives its own designator. if the runway centerline azimuth is 20 degrees, then the designator will be 02).

When this rule results in a single digit number then the designator is preceded by a zero (e.g.
