2. Runway Numbering
A runway number is taken from a bearing of the direction that it points. Numbers are rounded off to the nearest 10°. The numbers are marked at the end of every runway in large white numbers.
Example
A runway pointing to 18° magnetic would be numbered 02.
Regional Gliding School

3. Runway Markings 25 Centreline: Threshold: Displaced Threshold:
white lines in the middle of the runway to mark the centre.
Threshold:
white line running across the runway.
Displaced Threshold:
sometimes the threshold is unsafe for landing so it is moved up to a safe area. 25
Regional Gliding School

4. Taxiway Markings 25 Taxiway Centerline: Hold Lines:
yellow line used as a guide to keep the aircraft in the center of the taxiway.
Hold Lines:
yellow line running across the taxiway. Aircraft must “hold short” at this point until cleared for take-off. 25
Regional Gliding School

5. X X Aerodrome Markings: Unserviceable: 25
marked with large white or yellow X’s on both ends of a runway or taxiway. Red flags are also used to mark unserviceable areas that can be passable with caution. 25

6. Wind Indicators Wind Sock: elongates as the wind increases
if the wind sock is straight out then the wind is 15Kts or more
if the wing sock is on a 30° down slope then the wind is 6Kts
if the sock is fluctuating then gusty conditions exist.

7. Wind Indicators Tetrahedron:
known as wind T, it is designed like an arrow whose small end points into the wind.
only tells wind direction, not wind speed.

20. The Circuit Upwind: Crosswind: Downwind: Base Final
the area opposite to downwind leg
Crosswind:
lies across the centre of the landing area perpendicular to the downwind leg
Downwind:
flight path opposite to the direction of landing, which is parallel to and a distance off to the side of the runway
Base
flight path perpendicular to the landing
Final
flight path in the direction of landing

22. NORDO at a Controlled Airport
no radio
aircraft is not capable of communicating over the radio
RONLY
receive only
similar to NORDO except the aircraft can receive messages. Tower may ask for confirmation through a visual sign (i.e. rock the wings)

Congratulations!!
You have now completed the Aerodromes and Traffic Procedures lesson of the Aeronautical Rules and Facilities Module. Of course, this lesson is always available to you for future reference if required.
You are now ready to move along to the next Aeronautical Rules and Facilities lesson you have not completed or to any other module you wish. You can advance to the Self Test Module if you feel ready to challenge the final exam.
Good Luck!
