The runways at an airport are designated according to the compass bearings rounded off to the nearest 10 degrees, with the final zero omitted. For example, a runway which faces almost due west (say 266°) would be rounded off to 270° and described as ‘Runway 27’. The same runway, used in the opposite direction, will be facing due east and will differ by 180°, that is 090°. It will be then described as ‘Runway 09’. Where two parallel runways are available, as at Heathrow, they are known as ‘left’ and ‘right’ respectively. Occasionally, knowledge of individual runways is helpful to airband listeners, especially where only the aircraft radio transmissions can be heard, since one of the clues to the destination may be the ‘runway-in-use’ quoted by the controller. Hearing the words ’Willow one Bravo arrival for two six’ identifies the destination as Gatwick, because Gatwick’s runways are designated 26 and 08, and ‘Willow’ is a reporting point on the arrival route.
