8.18 Runway designation markings

       (1) Runway designation markings must be provided:

(a) at the thresholds of all sealed, concrete or asphalt runways; and

(b) at the thresholds of an unsealed runway with sealed, concrete or asphalt thresholds.

       (2) A runway designation marking must consist of a 2-digit number that is:

(a) derived from the magnetic bearing of the runway centreline when viewed from the direction of approach; and

(b) rounded to the nearest 10 degrees.

       (3) If a magnetic bearing becomes a single-digit number, a "0" must be placed before it.

       (4) If a magnetic bearing becomes a 3-digit number, the last "0" digit must be omitted.

Note   For example, a bearing of 353 degrees would be rounded to 350, and the 0 omitted.

       (5) For parallel runways, each runway designation number must be supplemented by a letter which, when viewed from the direction of the approach, appears in the order from left to right as set out in Table 8.18 (5).
