    It is the weight bearing limit for the runway. S is single wheel (like your Cessna 172), D is dual wheel, and 2D is dual tandem. I am not familiar with 2S, but I would assume it means single tandem. The number after it is the max gross weight of the aircraft in thousands of pounds. So, the S-60 means that the runway can take a single wheel landing gear aircraft up to 60,000 pounds MGW. Then it gets a little more complicated after that, but that is the basic idea.

    Reference AC 150/5335-5C
