7.8.2.1. Runway centrelines

At designated landing or takeoff points within your flight plan, visible centreline extensions can be added to all certified/registered airports on the map. Extensions will also be added to airports designated as a direct-to destination.

Runway centreline extensions

Each extension projects out 5 Nautical Miles from the runway threshold.

Where there is also a METAR station at that airport, the most into wind runway will be highlighted in green (see RW24, above). If the wind favours two runways equally, both will be highlighted.

!Caution: The most into wind runway may not be the actual duty runway. There may be operational reasons why the highlighted runway may not be in use (NOTAM’d runway un-servicibility, tower requirements, etc).

Extensions may not display for one or more of the following reasons:

• If no flight plan is currently open
• If an airport in your flight plan is being used as a turning point only
• If the airport does not have formally surveyed runway ends (usually grass/gravel runways) or there are no details present in the current navdata database
