As someone who has flown as a passenger for over 60 years and who occasionally listens to ATC to pilot conversations, I have often wondered about the various airport signage and references. This video with the graphics provided a good introduction to understanding the terms/references/signage. Good job for teaching an old dog a new trick. Thank you.
The A19 sign means you are going to get charged 19 times more fees than you thought. The A with 2 arrows means if you go this way there's a fee, and if you go that way the fee is much more. Enjoy your flight.
Very helpful 👍 thank you keep uploading videos like this! It helped me a lot with the Flying Simulator games because im trying to play without the HUD on so im moving with the airport call signs this video helped me a lot to understand them Thank You!
I don't really understand why the ILS restriction isn't just placed at the same area as the runway holding sign. I can't remember seeing any ILS-only signs either, despite flying to ILS-capable major airports. Why do they exist, is it a radio antenna interference issue? Are they quite common or rare?
It would disturb the ils radio waves connecting the airplane to the station so atc would prohibit aircraft from entering the area if there is weather conditions that would prohibit the pilot from seeing the runway
What about when the tower instructs something like “hold short of Quebec” or “taxi to foxtrot”. Are these designations shown on signs and what do they mean?
Usually it's like using Google Maps but this time the signs are on the ground, maybe when they say HOLD SHORT OF QUEBEC it probably means that Taxiway Q is up ahead
It's the Phonetic Alphabet. Because some letters sound quite similar and radio comms are notoriously a bit fuzzy, it helps to have "longhand" words for each letter. Like others have said, Quebec would be the long form of Q. The usual standard is NATO's alphabet, so you might also hear the following (I think some of the spelling is intentional to account for accents): Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliett, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu.
Illustrations aren't exactly correct. 33-APCH wouldn't intersect a runway, it would be in the approach area. The ILS hold sign would be in the area where the aircraft would interfere with the NAVAID.
A = Alpha B = Bravo C = Charlie D = Delta E = Ecoh F = Foxtrot G =Golf H =Hotel I = India J = Juliet K = Kilo L = Lima M = Mike N = November O = Oscar P = Papa Q = Quebec R =Romeo S =Sierra T = Tango U = Uniform V = Victor W = Whisky X =X-ray Y =Yankee Z =Zulu
True...the moment we detect any incorrect information provided by anyone, we just need to disregard anything else that he/she "teaches" of "informs" us......
@@azra_aurora10 yep, cuz there are better people out there to explain the exact same thing who actually work as ATCs or at airports and not like this random guy who didn't know enough or cared to understand aviation properly
@polytekhat isn't it only said as "three three" to limit risk of miscommunication? Where is that risk when you can hear it clearly with no radio static? I don't think this video was meant strictly for pilots and those working in the industry, which is the assumption you seem to have made here
Is he on a radio, communicating in a manner to be clearly heard the first time in potential life and death situations? NO. Therefore thirty-three is just fine and you’re an immature pedant. Go away.
The problem with this well intended post is that the narrator speaks too fast, often slurring words hurredly into one another. Common issue today. Furthermore his voice goes up suddenly, drops too low, speeds up..Hard and unpleasant to follow.
