(Interesting side note:  Easy way to figure reciprocal runway or course heading.  +2/-2 rule.  On a 3 digit course heading if you can add 2 to the first digit, then subtract 2 from the second, otherwise subtract 2 from the first digit and add 2 to the second. (last digit always stays the same)  so.....reciprocal course of 257 is 077. )  Remember 1st digit will always be 3 or less.

easier way would be to look at your chart which should be out while you're in the air. or the airport diagram which should also be out. :D

As a general rule, anything that you don’t need to fly in Aces High, you don’t really need to fly in real life.  It’s all just code talk so pilots can sound cool on the radio.  Carb heat, de-icing, radio protocol, flight plans, wheel chocks, runway identification, flight patterns, navigation: all B.S.  Don’t buy into the cool buzzword stereotype!
