Landing Strips

A typical airfield has two or three runways in a cross or triangular pattern.

Runways are numbered for the direction of flight. 36 is 360° (North), 18 is 180° (south), 24 is 240° (SSW), 06 is 60° (ENE), 12 is 120° (ESE), 30 is 300° (NNW). The same runway thus has two different names, depending on the angle of approach. As you always want to start and land as straight against the wins as possible, traffic control will direct you to the runway that runs counter to the current wind.

These angles are chosen to fit hexsides. If one hexside is north, the "18" end of the first strip should be pointed in that direction. The 24 strip points one hexside clockwise, the "30" strip two hexsides clockwise. The strips can cross or bisect each other.

Runways should be printed at 150 dpi, three hexes long.
