Excellent video. You are really getting good at production. Interesting series.

[@realgenxgamer]

Thanks for watching Bill. I figure I would give it a shot!

Nicely done. I hope the 'new arrivals' in particular benefit from these shorter, super specific Tutorial format videos. I do have a question (as always). At 3m26s you say "we need them facing in a southerly direction - in the direction of 22L - to go down Taxiway Kilo to 4R". I'm not getting this. Did you mean to say "in the direction of 4R"? The pushback they execute doesn't leave them heading in the direction of 22L, so far as I can tell. In the scenario after this one you have them facing North to make their way to 22L.

[@realgenxgamer]

What I was meaning to get a crossed and maybe didn't say it well. I was meaning that it would be in the same direction as if you were on 22L. 🤣

How do you know that runway 4R is facing north? Where does it tell you on this screen or do you have to refer to the radar screen?

[@realgenxgamer]

Great question. There is no reference on any of the screens. I basically go by compass headings. 360/0 being north, 90 being east, 180 being south and 270 being west. So I know that 4R is a heading of 40 which is departing North / East (more north than east) . Another example would be if there is a runway 27, it would be at a heading of roughly 270, which would be a west departure. Hope that makes sense.

@@realgenxgamer I wondered why the runways had ‘random’ numbers. That’s two answers in one. Thanks. I have Sim3 and I love it.

In addition to realgenxgamer's answer, CGP Grey has a great video on runway numbering. But, yeah... the 4 means it faces (approximately) direction 040, which is north(ish).
