The runway numbers are in magnetic direction. Runway 27 is 270 degrees magnetic (rounded off to the nearest 10 degrees). Runway 04 is 040 degrees magnetic. When you are making your approach, your runway of intended use (into the wind) will be your magnetic direction on your compass. When you see an L, C, or R after the number there would be two or more runways in the same direction on that airport. The letters stand for Left, Center, or Right depending on which runway you would be assigned to land on. As runways can be approached from either direction the difference between the two number will reflect the 180° difference, thus increments of 18.
