Score 97% on my 2nd ground school quiz, miss one question because I confused magnetic north vs. magnetic south for runway markings specifically runway 36 = 360 degrees magnetic is the bottommost runway, not topmost because even though 360 degrees / 0 degrees is magnetic north, the numbers marking the runway will be OPPOSITE that as to say "north is at the other end of this runway" of course 🤦‍♂️ So: bottom runway is 36, left is 9, top is 18, right is 27 #flightlessons
