colubridae Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Can anyone tell me what ATC means exactly when he says 'cleared to land runway 04 path 2' please
thereminqblank Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Runway xx, denotes the number of the runway, but that is equal to the compass heading it faces. So 04 is lined in the direction of 040 degrees. The path is mentioned if the airfield has two or more parallel runways. So in the case of two parallel runways, path 2 would be be the right hand runway. Anyways, I think that is right.
