Runways
A runway's number is its magnetic direction divided by ten, rounded: a runway pointing 087° magnetic is 09. Parallel runways add L, C or R.
Declared distances: TORA (runway available for the take-off run), TODA (TORA plus any clearway), ASDA (TORA plus any stopway), LDA (runway available for landing, which may start at a displaced threshold).
