Can the two numbers at the end of an airport runway be the same?

Yes, the two numbers at the end of an airport runway can be the same. This occurs when the runway is aligned with the magnetic compass directions such that both ends of the runway effectively point in the same direction. However, in practice, runways are typically numbered based on their compass heading rounded to the nearest whole number, so it’s more common for them to have different numbers unless they are specifically designed in a unique way.
