How do you read airport runway signboard?

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

What point is used to determine the distance from airports is it the end of the runway or the center of the actual airport?

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 (!).
