What is the runway configuration for Greenwood Airport (KGWO)?

• A. 5/23 and 18/36
• B. VOR 5 and ILS 18
• C. 12/30 and 4/22
• D. 7/25 and 13/31

Answer: (A)

Runway numbers show the directions the runways face in magnetic degrees, with each runway having two opposite directions. So a runway labeled 5/23 means one end points about 050 degrees and the opposite end about 230 degrees. A runway labeled 18/36 points roughly 180 degrees on one end and 360 degrees on the other. Greenwood Airport has two runways: one oriented roughly northeast–southwest (5/23) and another oriented north–south (18/36). That exactly matches the configuration described. The other options mix in instrument procedures (like VOR or ILS) or list different runway headings that don’t correspond to KGWO’s actual layout, so they aren’t the correct runway configuration.
