Ever looked at our tarmac and wondered, "What do those giant painted numbers actually mean?"

Spoiler alert: they are not random numbers, and they are not just parking spots for planes!

Runway numbers are based on magnetic heading. Take the compass direction the runway points toward, round it to the nearest 10 degrees, and drop the last zero. For example, a runway pointing at 070° (east-northeast) becomes Runway 07!

Every runway can be used in both directions. The opposite end is always 180° away. That’s why here at YNJ, our runways are designated 07/25 and 01/19! If a pilot takes off heading 070°, they’re on Runway 07. If they land coming the opposite direction (250°), they’re using Runway 25!

Plus, did you know that Magnetic North slowly shifts over time? Every few decades, airports around the world have to repaint their numbers so they stay aligned with magnetic compasses!

Next time you visit Langley Regional Airport to watch the planes, you’ll know exactly which direction they’re heading!

We’re still buzzing about the incredible Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) helicopter visit to Langley Regional Airport!

Seeing this powerful rotorcraft parked on our tarmac was an unforgettable experience for aviation fans of all ages.

A huge shoutout to the dedicated RCAF aircrew for landing at YNJ, welcoming our community and sharing what it takes to serve and fly with Canada's air force

Freshly mowed grass is great for curb appeal, but out on the airfield, it serves a much bigger purpose.

Managing our green spaces is a key component of our Wildlife Management strategy. Tall grass provides an ideal habitat, shelter, and food source for birds and other animals. By keeping our grass neatly trimmed, we naturally deter wildlife from settling near the active flight paths and runways.

Routine mowing also guarantees that our airfield lighting, signage, and critical pilot sightlines remain completely unobstructed day and night.

Safety is always the priority, from the skies right down to the soil!
