Runway ID
Lakeview Bill wrote:
The runway is NAMED Runway 5. Why would you prepend a zero to a NAME? Because the ICAO standard says that a runway name has always two digits. Why? To minimize the possibility of misunderstandings, especially with pilots and/or controllers who don't speak English as their first language and/or when the radio quality is marginal. As far as I know, all countries adhere to this standard... well, all except one, of course. Stefan
