I'm an air traffic controller. I appreciate the good work you do educating new pilots because let's face it...a lot of them become a headache for me lol
Easy way to calculate the counter runway. You see your runway for example 05 then you add 2 to the first number and subtract 2 from the last number. So we have 23 same goes for the other way around. If we have 23 we subtract 2 from the first number and add 2 to the second number which gives us? Exactly 05.
here's a brief lesson on the basics all letters are said in phonetics, they all use special number (I listed them in the above comment), and over means you need a response, out means you are done coms and are not looking for a response, ill add a basic atc blotter to show it in use ATC this is Charlie Alpha One Tree Fife Requesting Permission to take off runway Two Fife Right along with that (yes captain joe made a vid on it but in case you haven't seen it) Mayday means major emergency and pan means minor emergency, all emergency statements are made in series of 3 ect, pan, pan, pan or mayday, mayday, mayday or even fire, fire, fire
@sidewayrussian What is getting what is deserving in this hilarious life? :P I think the channel will soon find the way, we are on youtube and not on the ruthless and awfully censoring facebook.
I also watch ones like this to see how in depth he can go into explaining the the number is the magnetic heading (rounded to the nearest 10) and the letter is either R=right, L=left, C=center.
So informative for anyone interested in aviation. I thought I knew quite a bit from playing a few flight sims but the level of knowledge to be a professional pilot is quite amazing. Keep up with these brilliant videos.
They had to renumber a runway at Chicago O'Hare a few years back due to magnetic drift as well. They also dropped the left/right designation at the same time because the parallel runway was permanently closed as part of an attempt to decrease congestion.
Really explained in a wunderful way - and always with excellent animations. Many thanks! Your videos are a perfect preparation before my first simulator flight in Airbus A320, a dream which fulfilled at the old age of 62 !
The white runway paint is retro-reflective. It gathers the aircraft’s emitted light and returns it straight back to the aircraft for maximum conspicuity. It does with with tiny glass beads called ballotini.
The airport in my hometown of Rochester, MN, USA (RST) has the only two runway numbers that are reversible: One runway is 13 and 31, while the other is 02 and 20.
Hi Pete, that has to be then. both the ends of the runways would have 180 degree heading differential. 310-180= 130 hence 13, and the other would have 200-180=20 hence 02. if its 13L then it would be 31R, and likewise the case with the other runway numbers
Captain Joe To be honest I understand nothing as I am just 14 year old passionate about being a pilot but the financial position of our house keeps me back..... :(
I've worn a plane headset, and the only good things about it are that it blocks out the sound and the volume is higher. Even if the audio is fully readable, it's still poor audio quality.
Many radio recordings we get to hear in media are created by amateurs, often using old and cheap equipment. Few month ago I heard different recordings from an incident of a small non commercial plane which lost navigation and a commercial pilot who saw him and assisted. I had to listen to the amateur recording multiple times to understand it. The same recording from the chesna very noisy but I had no problems to understand it and the recording from the commercial airliner was even better.
because this is what the radio sounds like.. in transatlantic flights they use hf frequencies (close to what ham radio amateurs use) in order to communicate and it is far worse... all static and you can barely hear anything..
Thomas Reed A precision approach runway will have the following markings on the runway. 1. Designation (Numbers) 2. Centerline 3. Edge markings 4. Threshold bar 5 Threshold markings 6. Aiming point 7. Touchdown zone 8. If needed a Demarcation.
some planes like the 787 dreamliner have a cockpit rest area. same for flight attendants. others you have to stay inthe chair, but i think some recline
There is a rest stop in the sky where pilots are switched out. No passengers are aware of this as it's a big secret amongst the crews. They don't actually stop per se but kinda push them out going about 100 knots and they bounce off mattresses. The new crew has to use bed sheets tied in knots to catch a hook trailing from the tail section. They then climb up and thru the APU door. If a passenger asks what the crew is doing as they walk thru the aft bulkhead the crews are instructed to say "Go back to sleep, we'll be landing shortly".
I'd imagine a lot of airports in Canada have had to renumber theirs at some point too given that the geomagnetic north pole has actually resided inside Canadian territory for the last few centuries being closer to the pole makes even small variations have a larger effect I'd have thought.
That's how Radio Phraseology works. You say tree instead of three, and niner instead of nine. comes probably from old days where radio communication was not so good. And it works better with non native English people with an hard accent.
actualy it is that plus the fact that numbers have to be clear for every one... ie in germany "NO" is nein which sounds exactly like 9 in english.. so the number 9 is spelled nin-er to make it clear. joe is a pilot and so he is used to speak the numbers in icao pronounciation.. a lot of aviation enthusiasts speak numbers in that fasion because it is more understandable..
8 can also be pronounced "AYT"/"AIGHT" in ICAO english. Learned that the hard way after mistaking "1008" for "1005" from an unclear transmission from ATIS.
i'm new here & can't get over how much detail you put into your videos. The animations and insert videos really help to explain what you are describing. Keep up the great work
whatever the menu has, and that's why I always see Aegean pilots with permanent smile (also some time ago, some pilots and cabin crew, [I think it was from the yellow Tui] gone out of the airport [LGIR] and got gyros)
I came back here to say thank you for helping me relieve stress about flying. I knew what most of the noises meant. I didn't expect the g-forces, even though I knew there would be a lot. I have now fallen in love with it! I even enjoy the natural turbulence. It is relaxing. (most of the time)
Hi Joe Very nice and interesting video. Your videos will definitely help me with my pilot training. I really wich I could fly with you one day. You would be such a great instuctor. Thanks again and keep up the good work! Greetings from Belgium Yannick
Very useful topic, I didn't know that the runway's numbers are set with magnetic azimuth. I was thinking that the numbers and letters are randomly selected. Thanks, Captain, it helped me a lot.....!
It's very simple in general terms, FD is the "brain" of the flight management system that takes into account every parameter of flight provided by the computers, while autopilot is the "muscle" moving the control surfaces. The "muscle" in takeoff and landing is almost always the pilot, as autopilot is disengaged. Sometimes there is the additional FD disengagement to allow the pilot to be also the "brain". PS: I am just an aviation enthusiast, not even close to an aviation related job. Joe will surely give an amazing and more valid explanation. :)
DAL5170 and CPA1259. I'm a virtual airline pilot for Cathay Pacific and Delta and I while I know what most of your videos are talking about, I am glad you can explain them so well to those who wish to learn. I love to see other ways of explaining things.
Shoeb Ansari when magnetic poles change sufficiently, the runway headings are changed. It’s simply the fact that they change the number in all charts as well as the runway itself. Example is the airport at st Martin. It was initially 09/27. Now it’s 10/28.
ZabaHD already mentioned it. its pretty much the same approach, with the same heading and the same glideslope. most of the time the only difference between the versions is the decision altitude and the missed approach procedure. sometimes there are differences for heavy aircraft. so an a380 might have a different missed approach procedure than an a320 or b737. btw, if there are several approaches, z is always the oldest one. if a new one gets added it will be named y, then x , then w and so on..
if i remember correctly, they are basically same approach but with different procedures. and to save time and avoid confusion for pilots and controllers, they just give them a symbol e.g. x, y ,z
Basically, it's an approach procedure that share the same frequency (i.e. VOR, ILS, NDB...) but have (not as a rule!) different checking points (IAF, FAF....) and altitudes for crossing them so that every single IAL Charts is unique; also as mentioned, different DA, MDA and Missed Approach procedures might be issued, which makes Briefings very important! Good flights for all!
Cheers Captain. You are a legendary Joe! Your explanation makes me feel safe! Safe in the knowledge that most pilots know very well their trade well equipped to deal with any scenario that may arise whilst flying.
So captain joe does that mean there could be a couple runway 05's right? Because if one is at 54 degrees and another at 53 and another at 52 won't there be three runways with the same number already?
And then they would be labeled RWY 05L, RWY 05C, and RWY 05R, but you wouldn't know from that which RWY is heading 052. 053, or 054 Edit: BC they all round to 050 so they would just be 05. Only the number indicates heading; the letters show the location in relation to parallel runways
As you saw in the video, there is published charts for every runway that tells the final approach course. You tell the final approach courses from the published charts, not from the runway designation alone. But how to correctly read all the information off a published approach chart is another lesson all together :)
Thanks Captain Joe - I never realised the numbering and the magnetic heading were linked at all, and just assumed there was some numbering scheme in place. Brilliant - even without a chart you could set your MCP Course pretty much on track with this.
+Captain Joe 5:19 confused me... Why doesn't LAX just keep the runway to the left, '06L'. Then the runway named, '06R' to '06LC' (60 degrees LEFT CENTRE). and the some with the more south eastern runways?
It all makes sense now! Atlanta (my nearest large airport) has two pairs of parallel runways (08/26 L/R)/(09/27 L/R) and a newer one (10/28) that was built off to the south (this one is partially a bridge over the highway!)
I wanted to know how to identify each runway if there are 4 or more parallel runways, and this video gave me the answer. What a nice explanation it is!
Are you sure? I double checked to make sure I´m getting in right, and the internet and my nav book said, magnetic north and geographic north are separate from each other. but please correct me if I´m wrong
Check current declination I suppose. I live in the northern us and Minneapolis is sitting at 0 degrees. So magnetic north is either in Canada or Russia probably? What is the declination at Berlin? I tried looking but I'm unfamiliar with the chart style and can't find the magnetic lines.
LHR used to have runways 28L/10R, 28R/10L which were later redesignated as 27L/09R & 27R/10L. Can't remember exactly when these changes occurred. There also used to be a runway 23/05.
Here in Toronto, Pearson airport (CYYZ) has 3 parallel runways heading 057 / 237 numbered 6L/24R, 6R/24L, and 5/23. The pair of 6/24 runways are both to the south of the terminals and the 5/23 is to the north. I'm not sure why they don't call them by one pair of runway numbers L, C, R. I suppose the distance between the side-by-side pair and the single runway a few kilometres away would make L, C, R confusing.
Occasionally the crew lands but have no idea where they have landed. They were just guessing. Sooo, some of the newer airports are going to be adding a few more numbers only slightly smaller. These will be the Zip Code of the ATC tower. Also the number of paces and heading to the nearest pub or nightclub. For example, The runway marking would be 23-99999-394-187.
Midway in the video my question: I'm sure the frankfurt airport will give you the runway to land on - what does a pilot do if he recognized he's landing on the wrong lane when seeing the letters - so not the given lane?
Dear Captain Joe, I have never been a pilot and to become one now with 65 is a bit too much to ask for. But I enjoy every Video from you as they are very informative and enjoyable for me. With great respect to you and please keep up these Videos. Best regards from Australia.
Through the deciennia of being a aviaton fan I have seen lots of runway designator changes. Amsterdam Schiphol did it when the constructed the new runway west of the airport parallel to the existing two rwy's 19R/01L 19L/01R they were all changed to resp. 18L/36R 18C/36C and 18R/36L but the other runways were not changed and still have the same designators as when I came to Schiphol the first time back in the 1980's. Same goes for Brussel. Only the former 20/02 rwy has recently been changed to 19/01. So mostly this is done in combination with runway renewals /renovantions I think.
Hi Captain Joe. Even the Malta airport LMML had to change the runways numbers. Runway 32 and 14 became 31 and 13 and runways 24 and 06 became 23 and 05.
I have often wondered how runway numbers were assigned. Now that you've explained the numbering, it seems so obvious. Thanks for some great information.
I always chuckled when I heard pilots say “tree” instead of “three”. Never heard ATC use “tree” though. Funny story about the numbers thing. I flew into Portland International (PDX) during flight school and received my landing clearance for “Runway 10 (ten) Right.” The controller didn’t say, “1-0 Right,” as most would have.
Captain Joe, thank you for covering this. I have been waiting for you to cover how the numbering rationale for runways. I've heard these numbers in many a atc comms and wondered why many airports have similar numbers for runways. Thanks for explaining and showing that there is a simple rationale.
Talking about Stansted changing their runway numbers I remember Manchester did the same thing a few years back, going from 24L/R and 06L/R to 23L/R and 05L/R
And one more thing... The difference between the two numbers of the runway on either side is always 18. Like on one side it's RWY 05 and on the Opposite side it's RWY 23 (Difference -- 23-5 = 18) It's always 18
No one in the world explains better than Captain Joe!!!
exactly
PAV 2001 exactly he is the best
Yes joe has great communication skills
He’s the best explaining things. Would be a good teacher.

Easy way to calculate the counter runway. You see your runway for example 05 then you add 2 to the first number and subtract 2 from the last number. So we have 23 same goes for the other way around. If we have 23 we subtract 2 from the first number and add 2 to the second number which gives us? Exactly 05.
That´s how I learned it too :)
Thanks for the answer Joe. :D
Mind. Blown.
It seems you could also just add or subtract 18
Effectively what you're doing, I think "add 2 / subtract 2" falls apart a bit with runways 1, 11, and 19
2:48 "As you can see.."
No.. No, Joe, that is a terrifying chart, and I see nothing on it lol.
Bro he said 236 degrees only pilot can understand that

along with that (yes captain joe made a vid on it but in case you haven't seen it) Mayday means major emergency and pan means minor emergency, all emergency statements are made in series of 3 ect, pan, pan, pan or mayday, mayday, mayday or even fire, fire, fire

could you explain all the stripes on the runway tuvm
That´s a great question Thomas, I´ll see what I can do!
thx ive wondered this too. my guess is "target touchdown zone"
Thomas Reed A precision approach runway will have the following markings on the runway. 1. Designation (Numbers) 2. Centerline 3. Edge markings 4. Threshold bar 5 Threshold markings 6. Aiming point 7. Touchdown zone 8. If needed a Demarcation.
The threshold stripes are nicknamed The Piano Keys
Right!! That’s to cross the runway by walk...
Excellent video, you are the go to man for this kind of information
Joe can you tell us about Long haul flights where do pilots sleep? Do they sleep in just their chair or is there a bed?
Great question!
Kamaranskie On some aircraft there are crew rest areas. Little four bed units for the flight crew to get some shut eye.
Kamaranskie i dont know for others but i think delta airlines pull their passenger from their seats and put the flight crew to sleep there XD.
some planes like the 787 dreamliner have a cockpit rest area. same for flight attendants. others you have to stay inthe chair, but i think some recline
There is a rest stop in the sky where pilots are switched out. No passengers are aware of this as it's a big secret amongst the crews.

Maybe you can do a followup video about runways in the north? Where they use true headings instead of magnetic. (Denoted on charts as °T)
Yes that´s the plan :)
I have not come across any one with such an impressive and clear voice! !!!! Absolutely great!
runway tree? sounds painful.
Thats the way its said over radio so its not confused with other words. This is also the reason why 9 is said ninER
That's how Radio Phraseology works. You say tree instead of three, and niner instead of nine. comes probably from old days where radio communication was not so good. And it works better with non native English people with an hard accent.
You'll hear German speakers saying "ein tzvo drei" rather than "ein zwei drei" for clarity.
actualy it is that plus the fact that numbers have to be clear for every one...
ie in germany "NO" is nein which sounds exactly like 9 in english.. so the number 9 is spelled nin-er to make it clear.

Tree?
Yup. Niner, tree and fower, that's how radio comm books tell us :

At 5:35 , he said that magnetic North pole change with and the runway marking needs to be changed. So can explain about that.
Shoeb Ansari when magnetic poles change sufficiently, the runway headings are changed.
It’s simply the fact that they change the number in all charts as well as the runway itself.
Example is the airport at st Martin. It was initially 09/27. Now it’s 10/28.
what is the difference between ILS Y and Z ...??
Ossama Abdelbary It's the same approach but other missed approach prodecures for example.
different minimums and missed approach procedures
ZabaHD already mentioned it. its pretty much the same approach, with the same heading and the same glideslope. most of the time the only difference between the versions is the decision altitude and the missed approach procedure. sometimes there are differences for heavy aircraft. so an a380 might have a different missed approach procedure than an a320 or b737.

Captai Joe u are best... nobody explains clearly and louder than you. Many blessings again from Namibia Windhoek.
Cheers Captain. You are a legendary Joe! Your explanation makes me feel safe! Safe in the knowledge that most pilots know very well their trade well equipped to deal with any scenario that may arise whilst flying.
Could you record a video explaining all you have had to do in order to become a pilot?? Since you left the high school until you became a copilot
So captain joe does that mean there could be a couple runway 05's right? Because if one is at 54 degrees and another at 53 and another at 52 won't there be three runways with the same number already?
Correct!
And then they would be labeled RWY 05L, RWY 05C, and RWY 05R, but you wouldn't know from that which RWY is heading 052. 053, or 054
Edit: BC they all round to 050 so they would just be 05. Only the number indicates heading; the letters show the location in relation to parallel runways
As you saw in the video, there is published charts for every runway that tells the final approach course. You tell the final approach courses from the published charts, not from the runway designation alone. But how to correctly read all the information off a published approach chart is another lesson all together :)
Every normal person: "Clear to land."
Every normal pilot: "Clear to land."
Every damn ATC: "Cletalaen."
NICE VID !!! Thanks.
My pleasure !
Thanks Captain Joe - I never realised the numbering and the magnetic heading were linked at all, and just assumed there was some numbering scheme in place. Brilliant - even without a chart you could set your MCP Course pretty much on track with this.
Captain Joe is so cool, I am a pilot, I know meaning of runway numbers and letters and I still watched the whole video
Thank you very much for your support dear colleague !
You are the best when it comes to explaining stuff. What I learned is that it is not a good idea to build too many parallel runways.
Why do pilots pronounce 3 tree?
It's easier to understand on the radio. Especially If you have a lot of static interference on the radio an f or th can be quite hard to hear.
Check my video about the Pilots Alphabet!
Dear sir , u r doing wonderful job
so cool never know that a letter on a runway could mean something
Happy I was of some help :)
You just thought someone print them for fun? ;)
Thanks Captain Joe. Not a pilot myself, but I appreciate learning from anyone willing to share.
Did they run out of paint? xD Nice One 1:44
Glad you liked that :)
THANK U SO MUCH !!!
I guess if the magnetic poles change, it should affect all the airports in the world. So, why did only Stansted change its markings?
Absolutely correct, Stansted was one of many airports over time :)
Captain Scott is unforgotten!!!! Ganz Einfach!
like before watching
Thank you :)
+Captain Joe 5:19 confused me... Why doesn't LAX just keep the runway to the left, '06L'. Then the runway named, '06R' to '06LC' (60 degrees LEFT CENTRE). and the some with the more south eastern runways?
"A bad look for London Stansted"
Well, Stansted sucks. LHR/EGLL ftw!
True, LHR rocks :)
xD
It all makes sense now! Atlanta (my nearest large airport) has two pairs of parallel runways (08/26 L/R)/(09/27 L/R) and a newer one (10/28) that was built off to the south (this one is partially a bridge over the highway!)
Your amazing man I wanted this vdo..plzzz reply
Agree. This is the best explanation I had so far out of all the videos I watched. Thanks.
Runway tre tre
Best aviation teacher u deserve alot of subscribers tnx cpt joe
I wanted to know how to identify each runway if there are 4 or more parallel runways, and this video gave me the answer. What a nice explanation it is!
captain JOE, keepin it real. Nice vid bud, gotta learn to edit like you
Captain Joe, just want to say thank you for the time and effort you put into these videos. They are very informative
Joe... Please note that what you call "the magnetic pole" is the geographic pole. The magnetic one is located close to Canada, if i remember correct.
Are you sure? I double checked to make sure I´m getting in right, and the internet and my nav book said, magnetic north and geographic north are separate from each other. but please correct me if I´m wrong
Check current declination I suppose. I live in the northern us and Minneapolis is sitting at 0 degrees. So magnetic north is either in Canada or Russia probably? What is the declination at Berlin? I tried looking but I'm unfamiliar with the chart style and can't find the magnetic lines.
LHR used to have runways 28L/10R, 28R/10L which were later redesignated as 27L/09R & 27R/10L. Can't remember exactly when these changes occurred.
There also used to be a runway 23/05.
Avinor changed the name of the runways at ENAL (vigra) from 07 and 25 to 06 and 24 back in September 2016.
What an educating channel you have capt! Thank you so much
Here in Toronto, Pearson airport (CYYZ) has 3 parallel runways heading 057 / 237 numbered 6L/24R, 6R/24L, and 5/23. The pair of 6/24 runways are both to the south of the terminals and the 5/23 is to the north. I'm not sure why they don't call them by one pair of runway numbers L, C, R. I suppose the distance between the side-by-side pair and the single runway a few kilometres away would make L, C, R confusing.
Thanks so much for these informative videos, Despite being a pilot of many years standing, I always hear something new from you!
Dear colleague, such words mean a lot to me, thank you very much for your support!
Thanks Captain. Your explanations are clear and to the point.
Occasionally the crew lands but have no idea where they have landed. They were just guessing. Sooo, some of the newer airports are going to be adding a few more numbers only slightly smaller. These will be the Zip Code of the ATC tower. Also the number of paces and heading to the nearest pub or nightclub. For example, The runway marking would be 23-99999-394-187.
2:46 Did you notice the strange voice on the 3?? Its on all 3!
Have you ever thought of flying as a bush pilot in some far northern wilderness? Like Northern Sweden, Norway, Finland or Canada.
It depend on compass position. RWY 25, position 250 degree. RWY 25R (if there's double runway), R means right side.
Well done and Thanks Captain Joe. I always wondered what the markings meant.
I just found this channel yesterday. I’ve been binge watching ever since! You’ve got my engineer brain churning! Great stuff!
Midway in the video my question: I'm sure the frankfurt airport will give you the runway to land on - what does a pilot do if he recognized he's landing on the wrong lane when seeing the letters - so not the given lane?
Dear Captain Joe, I have never been a pilot and to become one now with 65 is a bit too much to ask for. But I enjoy every Video from you as they are very informative and enjoyable for me. With great respect to you and please keep up these Videos. Best regards from Australia.
Cap you have a brilliant talent in teaching
I already knew about the naming, still watched the video. Your explanations are really excellent and it feels good to see your video @Captain Joe
Through the deciennia of being a aviaton fan I have seen lots of runway designator changes. Amsterdam Schiphol did it when the constructed the new runway west of the airport parallel to the existing two rwy's 19R/01L 19L/01R they were all changed to resp. 18L/36R 18C/36C and 18R/36L but the other runways were not changed and still have the same designators as when I came to Schiphol the first time back in the 1980's. Same goes for Brussel. Only the former 20/02 rwy has recently been changed to 19/01. So mostly this is done in combination with runway renewals /renovantions I think.
Hi Captain Joe. Even the Malta airport LMML had to change the runways numbers. Runway 32 and 14 became 31 and 13 and runways 24 and 06 became 23 and 05.
0:56 wouldn't a gyrocompass be able to indicate true-north and true-south?
I have often wondered how runway numbers were assigned. Now that you've explained the numbering, it seems so obvious. Thanks for some great information.
I always chuckled when I heard pilots say “tree” instead of “three”. Never heard ATC use “tree” though.
Funny story about the numbers thing. I flew into Portland International (PDX) during flight school and received my landing clearance for “Runway 10 (ten) Right.” The controller didn’t say, “1-0 Right,” as most would have.
Captain Joe, thank you for covering this. I have been waiting for you to cover how the numbering rationale for runways. I've heard these numbers in many a atc comms and wondered why many airports have similar numbers for runways. Thanks for explaining and showing that there is a simple rationale.
My pleasure Edward, glad to hear I could help :)
Keep up your good work Joe. Love your videos
Thanks, appreciate your support!
Wow!! That was so interesting!! Thank you. I hope you go into pilot training one day. You explain things so clearly. xx
"hope you enjoyed the video" yes Captain Joe, very much i did> Thank you. I'm subscribing and turning on notifications
5:35 This also happened to my home airport, Congonhas CGH SBSP. Before it was 16L/R/34L/R. Now it is 17L/R/35L/R
Thank you so much for your explanation, Capt! Have a good day!
Talking about Stansted changing their runway numbers I remember Manchester did the same thing a few years back, going from 24L/R and 06L/R to 23L/R and 05L/R
And one more thing...
The difference between the two numbers of the runway on either side is always 18.
Like on one side it's RWY 05
and on the Opposite side it's RWY 23
(Difference -- 23-5 = 18)
It's always 18
Best channel on TH-cam by far!
