Airport Runways
Every airport has them, they are as varried as the wind; however, as much as they are different they
are the same. The Watertown Regional Airport has two runways, 17/35 and 12/30. Runways are
named by the magnetic heading an aircraft would be facing when using it rounded to the nearest
teenth degree with the last digit of the heading removed. For example Runway 17 is actualy 174
degrees magnetic.
