I've had a smoldering dispute with a CFI friend of

"zero-two" or just "two" when operating at an
uncontrolled field with runways 2-20.

So what do instructors teach these days? Do you
add the extra zero or not?


No, I agree with your CFI-friend. A local uncontrolled airport has runways
3/21. I've never heard anyone announce "zero three" when referring to Runway 3,
nor was I taught to do so by my CFI. Recorded ATIS announcements don't add
zeros either -- they just say, "landing and departing Runways 4 left and
right."
