[Scan-DC] Dulles Gets New Runway (name, at least)

[Jordan Hayes]

> Runway One would be at approximately 10 degrees, correct?

That's the nomenclature, yes; it's actually 11.0 in this case.  Note
that this is a magnetic heading, not true.  IAD also has a 10.4W
magnetic declanation, so the runway you're talking about is just about
parallel to longitude lines.

> So, the other direction would be Runway 19?

Yep.

> And if landing in that direction, the new runway would be 19 Right?

Yep.

Go to airnav dot com and click airports, type in IAD, and download the 
PDF of the airport diagram for more details.

Fun fact: 19C and 19L aren't exactly parallel.
