Default Runway Numbering - Radio Procedure

Nope, there wasn't enough room between "runway" and "stop" for "two zero".
He definitely said "downwind runway two, stop-and-go". There was no zero.


Yes, but =she= (the next week) spoke slower, and with a more varied cadence.

Non-use of the leading zero trumps the use of it, no question about it.


Well, the discussion here shows that there =is= some question about it,
just not in your mind. I tend to agree with you that non-use is
probably better. However, it is not without benefit.

As for being nonstandard, that's just a matter of changing the standard.
Elsewhere they use a different standard, but the laws of physics are
the same.

That
possibility is not limited to runway 2/20 either, as the field may have an
intersecting runway it could be confused with, such as runways 1/19 an
10/28.


Good point.
