UND Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) New Hire Training Practice Test

In runway terminology, which end is referred to as the approach end?

Departure end Far end Midpoint Approach end

Correct Answer:

Approach end

Explanation:

The end of a runway that you approach from when landing is called the approach end. It’s the end toward which you fly your final approach, and that end has the landing threshold and approach lighting aligned for arriving aircraft. The opposite end is the departure end, which is used for takeoffs and for rollout after landing. Terms like mid-point or far end aren’t standard runway terminology and don’t describe where landings are conducted, so they don’t fit the concept.
