That runway 13 is also runway 31 if you’re heading the opposite way - making its heading 310° (which is 180° from runway 13’s 130°). Since runways are two-way, this also means that runways have two names. JFK’s (KJFK) runway 13, for example, roughly follows heading 130°. Add a zero to the end of a runway name, and you’ll have the heading. Runways are named based on their heading. Image: Asobo Studio/Microsoft Corporation via Polygon Since a simple flight means getting on your heading as soon as possible, it’s good to know what way you’ll be heading on takeoff (ignoring wind and weather concerns). The sooner you’re on that heading, the better (and the closer you’ll get to your destination).ĭepending on the size of the airport you’re leaving from, you might have several options for runways. Once you take off, your job is to turn to the heading specified in your Nav Log. This is limited to the Take-off, Cruise, and Descent phases of your flight, though, so you can’t skip ahead to any additional waypoints you add (see below). You can also pick the Travel To option on the Toolbar to fast-forward to that part of your trip. While flying, you can pull up the Nav Log from the toolbar at the top of the screen or by hitting N on your keyboard. Click the Nav Log button in the upper right of the World Map screen to see the Nav Log before you take off. Assuming you fly straight along that heading from the airport you departed for about that long, you’ll eventually reach whatever you’re pointed at. On your Nav Log, you’ll get a heading and an estimated time en route (ETE). A GPS Nav Log for a direct flight from RDU to IAD. To just travel from one place to another, that’s really all you have to do.
