![]() The pavement markings say 26L and the pilots and air traffic controllers say "two-six left." Okay, most of you knew all that, but I'm trying to be accessible here. If there is more than one runway at the same airport, with the same heading, then they are designated as left and right, and centre if necessary. The entire piece of pavement is runway 15/33. They might be landing on runway 15 (pronounced "one-five") or 33 (pronounced "three-three"). So at Downsview, the runway runs northwest-southeast, such that aircraft landing on it would be on a heading of 150 degrees or 330 degrees, depending on which end they were facing. Under normal circumstances, a runway is named after the direction you would be going while landing on it, rounded to the nearest ten degrees. If that doesn't strike you as odd, let me explain how real (non-Hollywood) runway numbers work. He's initally cleared to land on "runway one ell north." That's right, not "one left" but "one ell" plus the designation north. ![]() You know, the sort of thing that happens every week in Hollywood aviation. Engine maintenance run-ups are permitted between 05 local time on the Taxiway "B2" run-up pad (between Runway 29L and Taxiway "B") only, except for other time periods and/or locations authorized by airport management in advance.I just watched a movie where Kurt Russell is a mild-mannered intelligence operative who has to land a B747 because the bad guys have killed the pilots. ![]() Test- or check-flights, practice landings and low approaches, and stop- or touch-and-go operations are permitted only between 07 local time Monday through Saturday, and between 10 local time on Sundays.Intersection takeoffs from Runway 29R are only permitted from Taxiway "B2", except during single-runway capability operations (Runway 11R-29L closed/unusable). Intersection takeoffs from Runway 29L are not permitted, except during single-runway capability operations (Runway 11L-29R closed/unusable).Runway 11L Preferential Usage: Should Runway29R be in use, large turbojet aircraft will receive an ATC clearance for an opposite-direction takeoff on Runway 11L between the local hours of 24. Opposite direction approaches to Runway 11L are not authorized when Runway 29R is in use.No practice missed-approaches or go-arounds to Runway 11L. A normal approach path (approximate 3 degree angle) will be flown on final. When conducting VFR test-, check-, or training-flights and making approaches to Runway 11L, maintain at or above 2000' MSL until established on a 5 nautical mile (localizer DME) final.Expect left-hand traffic pattern for Runway 11L - right-hand pattern for Runway 29R. Ensure contact with ATC prior to entering Class “C” airspace.(Maximum certificated takeoff weight over 12,500 lbs) Turbojet and Large Multiengine Airplanes: For safety and noise abatement, initial climb out at best rate-of-climb (Vy) is recommended. (Maximum certificated takeoff weight less than 12,500 lbs) After takeoff, climb on runway heading until passing 850' MSL (single-engine) or 1000' MSL (multiengine). Small Single-engine and Multiengine Airplanes: Helicopters - 803' MSL Single-Engine Airplanes (reciprocating engine) - 1303' MSL Multiengine Airplanes (reciprocating engine & turboprop) - 1803' MSL Turbojet Airplanes - 2303' MSL (559) 454-0286Īviation Weather Information - Caltrans Aeronautics Division: San Francisco Sectional NOS L-2 Jeppesen US (LO) 3 Enroute Low Altitude charts
