Trivia & Games Did you know? • Runway numbers are designated to the runway based on the compass direction • The number is not just a name for the runway but a major tool for aiding the pilot in aligning the aircraft with the runway on landing or take-off • The runway number is a shortened version of the magnetic degree that will be appearing on the compass. Therefore a runway with a magnetic heading of 160 will be titled Runway 16. A single digit runway, such as 06, is really 060 • Some runways are named 14R or 14L. This means the airport has 2 runways with the same orientation but the R states that runway 14R is on the right-hand side and 14L is on the left-hand side • Taxiways are named in the order of sequence they are built using the phonetic alphabet. YLW has Alpha, Bravo, Delta, Charlie and Echo taxiways • Aprons are designated by numbers (Apron 1, 2, 3) and increase by the evolution of the airport’s growth – At YLW we have 4 Aprons SUDOKU To play: Each row and column must have the numbers from 1 to 9 represented. Each number can appear only once in each row and column as well as each 3 x 3 square. www.sudoku-puzzles.net Airport Wordsearch Alpine Anthem Athletes Biathlon Bronze Bobsleigh Cross Country Curling Downhill Figure Skating Created @ www.armoredpenguin.com Luge Nordic Podium Preliminary Qualification Round Robin Short Track Silver Skeleton Ski Jumping Snowboard Speed Skating Training Vancouver Whistler Freestyle Giant Slalom Gold Halfpipe Ice Hockey WWW.YLW.AERO http://www.sudoku-puzzles.net http://www.armoredpenguin.com http://WWW.YLW.AERO
