Runway 36 is a designated landing and takeoff strip at an airport, oriented towards a magnetic heading of 360 degrees. It is typically used by aircraft approaching from the south, allowing for safe landings and departures in that direction. The number "36" indicates the runway's alignment, while the opposite runway, 18, would be oriented at 180 degrees. Airports often have multiple runways, each numbered according to their compass heading. Runway 36 is part of the airport's infrastructure, ensuring efficient air traffic management. Pilots and air traffic controllers rely on these designations for navigation and safety during flight operations.
