you read the signes when the air traffic controllers say that you have to go to places on the taxiway it also helps you fin d the runway!!AnswerThere are electronic signs along the edge of active runways and taxi-ways. The signs act like street signs and identifies the taxi-ways by a code; example taxiway "S2". These signs do not mean much UNLESS you have a map of the airport.Each pilot keeps a book of maps for the airports in his area. They have maps for an entire area that they fly over plus these small maps of just the airport runways, taxiways and restrictions. These maps contain data such as the length of runway, the height of buildings and obstacles and location of airport parking or cargo parking.The signs next to the runway will either identify the name of a taxiway or point in the direction of another taxiway.Runway Length - Along the edge of the active runway are signs that indicate the length of the runway. These signs count down the feet until the end of the runway is reached. This helps the pilot in take-off and landing to ensure that he knows when he needs to pull-up or slam on his brakes. These are large black signs with white numbers. This is also important during bad weather. The map tells the pilot how long the runway is but he may not know for sure at what point on the runway he touched down and will have to decide if he can stop the airplane or if he should take-off and try again.Runway Markings - Also each runway has a number painted at each end. A runway that runs due North and South will have a "36" painted at the southern end. This means that to land on this runway the aircraft will have to fly a heading of 360 degrees (or also 0 degrees) heading on his instruments. If he turns around and lands at the northern end, then it will be marked "18" as he will be flying at 180 degrees heading.Many large airports such as LAX, DFW, MEM (codes for airports Los Angeles, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Memphis) will have two runways that are parallel and separated from each other by 1 mile or so. Those will have be identified as Runway 36L and 36R.Custermen
The USS Lexington's was about 888 feet long (Lex was sunk at the Battle of the Coral Sea).
Campbeltown Airport has a runway which is 3049m long so is longer than Manston.
10/28 - 1869m / 6132ft 13/31 - 1004m / 3294ft
These would technically be Manston and Lydd Airports, but these are small facilities. The nearest major airport is London Gatwick.
If you're referring to commercial airports, then I can't help you. The longest runway in the U.S. that I'm aware of is at Edwards Air Force Base. The Space Shuttle can land there in case of an emergency, so that runway better be really long.
RAF Manston closed in 1999. Manston Aerodrome closed on 15th May 2014.
No, there were no flights between Liverpool and Manston aerodrome before Manston closed on 15th May 2014.
There are 380.951 miles between Manston and Maastricht.

It depends. Some airports have VOR navigtion aids on the field, which regularly serve as beginning and end points for such measurements. Another convenient reference point is the center of the runway. With the use of GPS, it is possible to dial in the exact location of the numbers on the runway (!).
RAF Manston was created in 1916 because of the WW1. It closed in 1999.
Runway 8R/26L is 12,000 ft long. BIG runway.
There are no commercial flights from Manston to Jersey. A light aircraft would take approximately 2 hours. Manston Closed in May 2014.
