The runway area shows you information about the runways.  
Here you define the major variables for your airport operations: That is the assignments of the runways. For this purpose OpenRadar gives you already a lot of precalculated values that shall help you. See e.g. the picture on the right:
The display shows the runway number followed by the length x width of the runway. Below, you see a graphical display of the cross winds, green from 0-5kn, orange 5-10kn and red above. Gusts are additional highlighted.
*From top to bottom OpenRadar lists all runways (theoretically) available for that airport. But be careful: In that example you see e.g. for EDDF the runway 18/36 for which according to law 18 may only be used for starts and 36 may not be used for anything! As ATC you have to find out those regulations yourself (or you might get a laugh from knowledgeable pilots!)
In next column you can see the fractions of the wind strength from in front and in cross wind direction and below the relative wind direction (relative to runway heading).
*From left to right you see the following informations (if available):
The last column lists possibly existing ILS information.
**The runway-name
 
**Check-boxes to define if it is used at all, may be just for landings or just for starts or for both. The program prevents you from assigning a runway in both directions (e.g. 25R and 07L)
With the check boxes in second column you can define if a runway is open for starts or landings. The map will reflect these settings by showing hints and helping symbols (the ILS cone). If you have at least one runway selected, you can collapse the others with a double click on the background. This is a toggle feature.
**a graphical display of the cross winds: They are green from 0-5kn, orange 5-10kn and red above. Gusts are additional highlighted.
**above that bar you see the length and width of the runway in '''meter'''!
**to the right follow the fractions of head- and crosswind. You may use especially the crosswind-fraction to warn pilots if those are => 10 kn! <small>(Remember: You find the normal wind values in the metar-data further up in the Status Informations)</small>
**then follow the ILS informations, if ILS is available for that runway. The data shown are: the ILS-beacon-name, the frequency, the glideslope, and the altitude at the threshold.
