Runway Configuration

The runway layout at YBSU has changed over the years. Pilots with old simulators/scenery may not have the newer Runway 13/31 config (replacing the old 18/36 config). If your scenery does not feature this updated runway configuration, you must inform ATC, who will try to facilitate your flight as best as possible.
