Here is one :) https://twitter.com/AeroSkippah/status/969629277275742208
I’ve never heard of opposite runways that aren’t 180° apart.
Stoke is 400m strip in UK show 24/06 but not 180deg
Something to due with Riemann geometry
I used to fly PA18 there from Damyns Hall and I heard someone mentioning doing 180 impossible turn in his C42, given that everything around has better surface than the airfield, I failed to see the point? and it’s not 180deg, it’s 270deg for “straight runways” and in this case it’s 250deg or 290deg depending on left or right
Quick search turned up Elk City:
Operational restrictions:
IS A CURVED RWY.
RUNWAY 14
RUNWAY 35
Weirdly I sometimes mix up east and west (no problem with N/S, L/R or P/S). Rounding one runway number makes sense to avoid this kind of problem. One consideration is that I was taught in the PPL to check/set the gyrocompas against the runway heading, but this wouldn’t happen very often, and a ~5° error would be easily lost in other factors anyway.
No other examples in Sweden, than ESTA? I have a vauge memory there are more..???

One other example is Göteborg/Landvetter (ESGG).

There are a whole bunch of 01/19 with actual QFUs that would call for the next decimal up or down.
Jönköping ESGJ, Linköping/Malmen ESCF (not that it’s a problem for us in GA), Karlstad ESOK should be 02/20.
