Runway Markings Explained 

Yeah that's a fair point, I completely forgot about closed runways when I did this video, just about remembered it for Taxiways!

Adrian Colley KTCL will use a lighted "X" for it's 11/29 runway when it's used for parking on heavy college football weekends & as a display area when the Blue Angels are in town

Or a runway a corrupt mayor got his hands on and destroyed. RIP Meigs.

Little bit of trivia next time you're at an airport ;)

Never pass up a chance to say 'Well ... actually ...' :-)

Me too, channel has exploded the past couple of days! haha

Glad to hear! I love watching informative videos and documentaries. It was great to learn more about every-day things that we see but don't understand. Thank You for sharing.

It also showed up in my recommendations :)

MW3haha i

​@@Doofer9110

every time you start watching youtube haha

nentihaiudittu same here new information to learn everyday

Story of my life

i have few tests tomorrow, i wanted to study, now I should be in bed, i didn´t do anything, i just ended up here.

Possibly, I know certain adverts work that way. For example if you're searching the internet for Nike shoes, you'll start seeing adverts for Nike. And Google owns RU-vid....

What kind of phone do you have?

Braindamage ok so it's Android. I'm pretty sure Google does use input from your keyboard for targeted advertising so maybe that's why.

Eric W. Nah, I didn't write anything^^ Just talked about it.

You're welcome! :)

Glad my video could help! :)

I'm glad my video could help! Best of luck for your study! Hope you get your pilot's licence soon :)

Will do, glad you liked it!

Well that does count as a successful landing! :)

Doofer911 Yes it does, in flight sim world a sign on the grass at each end of the runway that says "Don't Land Here!" is good enough, they like to make things complicated in the real world just for fun. It's probably because of the lawyers.

Glad I could help :)

But the point is that it would be labeled in the mentioned way if it wasn't for that.

fancy

At Kuala Lumpur International (KUL/WMKK) there are 3 parallel runways, 32R/14L, 32L/14R and 33/15. All runways are pretty much the same length and width. Although KUL originally had only 32R/14L and 32L/14R and later expanded with 33/15 and a new terminal.

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it :)

gege212011 ,

Yes Marika ?!

I was going to say the same thing. Although if he's based in the UK do they have any commercial airports with four runways? Seems like they usually stop at one or two max. ;-)

+CAHSR2020 I haven't met anything like that in Europe. Even there are some airports with plenty of runways, almost always they are in different direction, just to have bigger spectre of available directions for operations (easier to adjust to current winds). Frankfurt has 3 parallels, and the rest I know has only 2 parallels. Heathrow wants to build 3rd one, but not sure if it's gonna be parallel as well.

Just to be clear, I said UK not EU. Heathrow will get another runway when hell freezes over.

wasn't the decision made that they will add a 3rd runway?

The decision was made decades ago. And then they revisit the decision again and again every few years or so. Still no runway.

Im pretty sure that pilots are aware of this information

Negativbeispiel Lol it would be pretty disturbing if one single pilot wouldn't know this information indeed.

vanhouten64 Even for the least demanding pilot's licence there is. (varies by country, but it's typically a recreational aviation or sports pilot certificate), you still have a massive book of theory, all of which you are expected to know. (My copy of the BAK - Basic Aeronautical Knowledge is about 400 pages long, and there's a seperate 300 page lesson plan book and 100+ page radio operations book. The combined sum of what you learn from this, alongside the theory tests and practical lessons is only enough to allow you to fly a single engine, fixed prop aircraft with fixed landing gear during good weather and visibility and only in the daytime, plus, only at airports and in airspace that do not have any air traffic control in use, plus, you aren't even allowed to do crosscountry navigation with this level of knowledge. Only fly within about 100 miles of your home airport, and land the same place you took off from.). Not all runway markings mentioned are covered, but the basic most important ones are. Which specific markings they teach you is of course related to the country in which you learnt to fly. (presumably international pilots are expected to learn the significance of the variations too.) Runway lights aren't and guidance equipment isn't really covered, because that's night and/or instrument flying, which constitutes a seperate subject with seperate endorsements that require extra training and licensing...

I'm a pilot for virgin Atlantic (a380 pilot) I still watch these types of videos because they are very useful.

You're welcome :)

You're welcome :) Always happy to hear from people across the pond!

Of course! I remember seeing them in TrackMania!

Welcome to the channel, glad you liked the video :)

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching :)

You're welcome :)

Ah thanks for letting me know, I was simply going with information from Wikipedia, someone should add "Stopways" to that article!

I just had a look in FAA Airport Design documents too, and they do mention blast pads, with the same purpose you tell in the video. It also cleary states that "A blast pad is not a stopway.", but has the same yellow chevron marking. So perhaps it's more common in the USA. I haven't encountered it in EASA stuff yet (to which we have to be compliant in Europe). I guess we both learned something new :)

Hey Michael, thanks for letting me know. One of my goals was to make the videos easy for non-English viewers :)

Great!!!!

Thanks for watching, glad you liked the video :)

I hope they were gentle!

I was getting a talking to when a local plane used for skydiving (divers away as I was taxiing) came in and landed before where I landed. He (FAA rep) looked at me and said have a nice day.

Ajinkya Pathania youre correct. If you have more than 3 parallels they change the numbers. Example. O'Hare has 5 soon to be 6 parallels. It goes 27 L R C. and then 28 L R C

+undytermined or rather 27 L C R 28 L C R (or could it awkwardly be L R C C L R?) Edit: Just checked Google Earth (which currently shows 5 runways) and it goes 28 L C R 27 L R

There's plenty other videos on my channel ;)

Ah nice! I didn't know that

Thanks , I wasnt sure if anyone would be interested. The glass beads are called “Ballotini”. It is generally applied to all the markings (at least in U.K.)

You're welcome :)

Yeah I remember those days! haha, thankfully it's easier to find answers to many questions nowadays.

are you a pilot now?

@@sidv4615 haha... I am a pilot in flight simulator. 🤣

Yeah I run it through a slight reduction however I think that's just how I naturally sound.

Welcome to the channel, thanks for watching :D

Yeah I think I did at the time I made the video :(

Somehow that sounds a bit... ya know. Rubway, Rub... Eggs...

You're welcome :)

I don't think that aviation authorities are too strict on pilots saying "nine" nowadays. I think officially, pilots should be pronouncing three as "tree" as well but I can't think of a time I've heard a pilot say "tree".

And 'fife' for five? :-)

Or "zeero" or "fower". If pilots actually say those, I haven't noticed. "Niner", I have noticed. "Nine" sounds a lot like "one" so that ought to be the most important one.

It's niner because the word "nein" (pronounced exactly the same as the english word "nine") means "no" in german.

The ILS Localiser antenna arrays are at the ends of the runway. The Glideslope sits in line with the touchdown markers. And that BA 777 that crashed, they were worried about landing on top of houses, don't think the Captain gave a damn about damaging airport equipment, just getting the plane down in a relatively flat, safe area was the goal lol.

There's a video on that incident, and yes, they were afraid that the antennas would puncture the fuel tanks making the landing unsurvivable. And thanks you.

+TheDark101Knight doh! Well now you know :)

Glad you liked it! :)

oh, nevermind, you just uploaded a video on that today!

Yeah there's only so much I can do with a headset microphone :(

Try positioning it so it's not directly in front of your mouth.

try putting it inside your lungs, might help

Threshold, definitely! Preferably with the lights on!

I'm glad, thanks for watching :)

Really? That's facing the correct way, assuming up is north.

Wouldn't it be 27 though? I always thought you went clockwise when talking degrees "from" north.

TheVeryBest No, 27 is the other side. The runway number is the heading you fly towards it at when landing, so runway 09 would be flown towards from 090 degrees, due east.

CrazyCashGaming Well, then I know. ;)
