    This document discusses navigation and instrument flight procedures related to runway orientation and layout. It covers key factors in determining runway orientation such as prevailing winds, airspace availability, and environmental considerations. The document also describes common runway configurations including single, parallel, open-V, and intersecting runways. It explains how runways are numbered based on their magnetic heading and identifies lighting and signage used to aid pilots in navigating runways.

    NAVIGATION AND INSTRUMENT FLIGHT PROCEDURE

    RUNWAY ORIENTATION

    RUNWAY
    Rectangular area on an aerodrome used for landing and take off Runway orientation is important in airport planning Current practice is to layout a runway in the direction of prevailing wind

    IMPORTANCE OF RUNWAY LAYOUT


    Determination of runway is a critical task It is very important for safe take offs and approaches The width and sloping of runway also play a role in safe approaches . It can be illustrated by the figure below :

    RUNWAY NUMBERS
    Runways are numbered according the magnetic compass direction they are oriented to Consists of two numbers one at each end of runway Preceding that number are eight stripes

    By 500 feet is the touchdown zone , identified by six stripes Runway numbers are not given in degrees, rather in shorthand format e.g. a runway with a marking of 14 is actually 140 degrees For simplicity FAA rounds off the precise headings to nearest tens

    RUNWAY HEADING
    9

    RUNWAY CONFIGURATION
    FAA includes over 20 runway layouts Amongst them there are 4 basic runway patterns : 1. SIMPLE RUNWAY 2. PARALLEL RUNWAY 3. OPEN-V RUNWAYS 4. INTERSECTING RUNWAYS
    10

    SINGLE RUNWAY

    11

    PARALLEL RUNWAYS
    There are 4 types of parallel runways

    12

    OPEN-V RUNWAYS
    Runways diverging from different directions but do not intersect and form an open-V shape are OPEN-V runways

    13

    INTERSECTING RUNWAYS
    Two or more runways that cross each other are classified as intersecting runways. This type of runway is used when there are relatively strong prevailing winds from more than one direction during the year.

    FACTORS AFFECTING RUNWAY ORIENTATION


    WIND AIRSPACE AVAILABILITY ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS OBSTRUCTIONS TO NAVIGATION AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL VISIBILITY WILD LIFE HAZARDS TERRAIN AND SOIL CONSIDERATION
    15

    WIND ROSE ANALYSIS


    An approach often used in determining the runway orientation The method uses a wind rose template A transparent runway template is placed and rotated around the center of wind rose At each rotating angle, the percentage of allowable cross winds is measured

    WIND ROSE METHOD

    17

    RUNWAY LIGHTING
    These lights are used to assist pilot in to identify the runway GREEN THRESHOLD LIGHTS : Line the runway edge RED LIGHTS : Mark the end of runway BLUE LIGHTS : Run alongside taxiways While runways have YELLOW or WHITE lights marking their edges

    RUNWAY SIGNS
    Various kinds of runway signs are also used for facilitation They differ according to their purpose and action
