Using SkyDemon PC version (latest version)....

If I zoom in on Full Sutton, the runway correctly appears as a 04/22 orientation.
If I select 'briefing pack' it shows the runway approximately as a 12/30 orientation. 
I think I've seen this behaviour affect other airfields too.

The map is rotated in order to best fit the airfield features on the page. You can see that the map scale overlay is also rotated along with everything else on the map.

Thanks for the explanation
It wasn't intuitive for airfields when the map is simply a single runway .... perhaps add a north arrow or something?

Would be nice to have Taxi ways and holding point names in the pack briefing at printed out. As well on start as
after landing and clearing the runway at an unfamiliar airfield it can be handy to draw your taxi instructions on paper/map right away or at least have them visual without having to look these charts up first on your tablet. Also easier for read back to ATC on larger airfields
