Magnetic North. Runway numbers and letters are determined from the approach direction. The runway number is the whole number nearest one-tenth the magnetic azimuth of the centerline of the runway, measured clockwise from the magnetic north. - Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) 2-3-3 b.

Are runways designated with letters then numbers and taxiways are designated with letters?
No. Runways are designated with numbers that are based on the magnetic heading of the runway. Runway 36 is on a magnetic bearing of 360 or magnetic north. Runway 18 is on a magnetic bearing of 180 or magnetic south. A runway may carry a letter such as 19L and 19R where there are two parallel runways, a Left and a Right with the same heading. Taxiways are normally designated by a single letter, but if an airport has more than 26 taxiways, they can be designated by two letters or a letter followed by a number.

What is earths north magnetic pole?
You must not confuse 'Magnetic North' with 'north magnetic pole', as these two things are completely different! 'Magnetic North' is a location, while 'north magnetic pole' refers to the magnetic polarity of the earth's 'Magnetic South'.'Magnetic North' is the point on the earth towards which magnetic compasses point. It is not a fixed position. It is presently (2012) in Canada and is drifting toward Siberia. It should not be confused with Grid, Geographic, or True North, which is a fixed point located at the axis about which the earth revolves. The same applies to the Magnetic South.The term, 'Magnetic North' describes a location, and has absolutely nothing to do with its magnetic polarity. The magnetic polarity of the location we call Magnetic North is actually a south pole, which is the reason it attracts the north pole of a magnet or compass needle.
