Which runway carries the maintenance pattern description described as width to 32 for the approach end?

• A. Runway 14/32
• B. Runway 05/23
• C. Runway 23/05
• D. Runway 06/24

Answer: (B)

In this topic, you interpret a maintenance pattern description by looking at which runway end the description is tied to. The numbers shown on a runway name tell you the magnetic heading of the approach end you’d use. When a maintenance pattern description specifies something for the approach end (for example, a particular width or geometry), you apply it to the runway end that corresponds to that approach heading.

The description in this question is tied to the runway pair labeled 05/23, meaning the approach end referenced is the 05 end. That’s why the runway carrying that maintenance pattern description is the one designated 05/23. The other runways have different approach-end orientations and thus don’t match this specific description in the given context.
