Sweden - no runways numbered with swappable digits e.g. 02/20

No other examples in Sweden, than ESTA

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.

One other example is Göteborg/Landvetter (ESGG).

ESKC (Uppsala/Sundbro), Sweden

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.

Quick search turned up Elk City:
Operational restrictions:
IS A CURVED RWY.
RUNWAY 14
RUNWAY 35

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

I think that ESTA (ÄNGELHOLM) is such an example. 14/32 iso 13/31.

Pretend that they are oriented differently

Like 02/19 or 03/21?
