C-47 Landing, View From the Cockpit

[benpoet]

There aren't exactly lanes on a runway. There is a dotted line, but the aircraft ideally lands and takes off by running right down the center unless in formation. Mortdk is correct... the numbers indicate bearing. The opposite end of runway will be 180 degrees different... in this case runway 12.

Final approach is around 90 mph.

[planejunky]

If you were to sit at the end of that runway to take off, you would be on a course of 300 degrees.

@WWIIfanatic28 i might be 2 years late of saying this but each landing lane has its own number.
