✈️ Runway Markings – Key Points

- Runway Centerline: 
  - Dashed white line along the middle of the runway 
  - Guides aircraft during takeoff and landing

- Threshold Markings: 
  - Series of white longitudinal stripes 
  - Indicates the beginning of the usable runway for landing

- Touchdown Zone: 
  - Markings located just beyond the threshold 
  - Helps pilots aim for a safe landing area

- Aiming Point Markings: 
  - Two thick white rectangles further down the runway 
  - Visual target for pilots during approach

- Edge Markings: 
  - Solid white lines along both sides of the runway 
  - Define the lateral limits of the runway surface

- Blast Pad: 
  - Yellow-marked area at the end of the runway 
  - Not used for takeoff or landing; absorbs jet blast

- Runway Designation ("13 R"): 
  - Indicates magnetic heading (130°) 
  - “R” means it’s the right runway in a parallel configuration.
