Which designation indicates Runway 28 Right?

Which designation indicates Runway 28 Right?

• A. Runway 28 Left
• B. Runway 28 North
• C. Runway 28 Right
• D. Runway 28 Center

Answer: (C)

Runway numbers come from the magnetic heading of the runway, rounded to the nearest 10 degrees. So a Runway with the number 28 means a heading of about 280 degrees. When there are multiple parallel runways sharing the same heading, suffixes like Left, Right, or Center distinguish them. The suffix describes the runway’s position from the approach end: the one on the right is Runway 28 Right, the left-hand one would be Runway 28 Left, and the middle one (if there are three) would be Runway 28 Center. North is not used to differentiate runways in this context. So the correct designation for the right-hand parallel runway with that heading is Runway 28 Right.
