Runway 11/29

Runway 11/29 is an airport runway designated by its magnetic compass directions. The numbers 11 and 29 represent headings of approximately 110° and 290° respectively, indicating the runway's orientation. Pilots use this designation to align aircraft properly for takeoff and landing, depending on wind direction. The two numbers also show that the runway can be used in two opposite directions: one heading roughly southeast (11) and the other northwest (29). This rotational alignment helps optimize safety and efficiency in aircraft operations under various wind and weather conditions.
