For some reason that attachment won't open for me. It looks vaguely familiar though...
That's one heck of an NDB if you can use it to nav from Sydney to the NP!And all the feeder routes are heading 360T, or the note "approach may intersect the runway at any angle"

Shouldn't the first half of the runway be 36 and the second half 18?
Would a magnetic compass act like a CDI over the North Pole? Cone of confusion and all?
Thought experiment...remember at high latitudes, you use true rather than magnetic.
If you touch down on a runway that runs through the pole, at each end, what is your true course at touchdown?
But the heading will switch at the halfway point...you were cleared to land 36 but yer rollin' out on 18, how's that gonna look to the FSDO when there's an incursion?
It's a BMP. Here it is as a JPG, which should open more readily.

No, if the center of the runway is the pole both ends are runway 36.

His point was that halfway through the runway the runway turns from 36 into 18, heading the same direction.

Three six zero.
But what if the touchdown is on the second half of the runway?
What does the TERPS say about MSA and local obstructions?
Thanks Grant, I should have thought of changing it to a .jpg before I posted it.
I was trying to post it as a full size graphic but I couldn't find a way to do that.

Runway designations are determined from the approach direction. It doesn't matter how far you float.
What does the TERPS say about MSA and local obstructions?
But that wasn't the question Bub. The question was about the course on touchdown.

A competent pilot won't touchdown in the second half of the runway.
You've obviously never landed on 19 at KSAW before the construction.

How is that obvious to you?
Yeah, with 12,000+ feet of runway, I could see landing way past halfway down, unless I really wanted taxi practice.
