Runway 1

Runway 1 typically refers to a specific takeoff and landing strip designated at an airport, often numbered based on its compass heading. For example, Runway 1 might align approximately with a 10-degree heading (north-northeast). It’s part of an airport's overall layout, helping pilots identify preferred directions for takeoff and landing based on wind conditions. The numbering system helps ensure safety and efficiency in air traffic management. In short, Runway 1 is a designated, directional runway surface used for aircraft operations at an airport.
