Not unlike road signs, there are numerous signs and marking around the airport that help you navigate your way safely to your destination on the airfield. In this video, we show you what these markings mean. www.erau.edu
@TheTimeTraveler2025 If you scroll a bit further back, you will see a more zoomed out view in which you can see, that there is a patch of grass between the two runways, if you move straight on.
The marking paints often contain retro-reflective glass beads to to reflect the aircraft’s light beams back to the aircraft for maximum visibility and not scattered in all directions.
according to ICAO Annex 14: 5.2.2.5 In the case of parallel runways, each runway designation number shall be supplemented by a letter as follows, in the order shown from left to right when viewed from the direction of approach: - for two parallel runways: “L” “R”; - for three parallel runways: “L” “C” “R”; - for four parallel runways: “L” “R” “L” “R”; - for five parallel runways: “L” “C” “R” “L” “R” or “L” “R” “L” “C” “R”; and - for six parallel runways: “L” “C” “R” “L” “C” “R”.
I associate the old LaGuardia terminals with the exact taxiway layout and terrain surrounding KLGA, so it looks weird to not see the MAT or bay/Long Island Sound.
Years and Years of flight simming and real plane experience, but never knew the runway numbers were not just randomly picked. LOL... FS2004/FS9 then FSX, was just flying using heading mode or flying GA aircraft. Never learned how to even plan an FMC/FMS/MCDU. Then with the transition to X plane 10, I decided to make things more professional and start learning more. All these years and it's only with X plane 10 in April 2016 that I found out that runway 27 meant 270 degrees... You live and you learn.
Controllers often tell an aircraft to move to a ground point. Example: " XXXXX move to ground point 1 and wait" or "xxxxx contact ground point 1". What does this mean? Los Vegas tower uses this quite often.
Note that deleting the leading zero on a runway number is (US) FAA-specific. ICAO runways (outside the US, including Canada) are _always_ two digits, e.g. Zero-Niner.
On any airport runway in the world, u wl find two numbers written at both the two ends of the runway. What's the meaning/significance of these two numbers and what's the difference between the two numbers n why is the difference always constant for all the runways in the world ?
That was literally the first thing he explained. It's the heading (exact direction) that the runway Is going. So for example I will use my instruments/ compass, to line up and maintain my approach orientation, Heading. To the runways number. So that I am flying parallel / straight as possible on to the runway. One number is the heading for an east->west approach, heading while the other number is for the opposite approach direction.
Yes you can, but only if instructed and approved by ATC as you're crossing the runway at that point. Say you land on runway 9L and you need to cross runway 9R to get to the ramp, ATC would then instruct you to cross 9R. Until you have that clearance you would need to hold. Remember, that solid single yellow line is simply a center line to help guide you and not run into the grass. It's not literal so you don't need to follow the little curve up and then back down when crossing.
@@Kutulu369 so i am curious. When a the plane is taxiing, the pilot still has to drive it himself just like a car? I thought the plane just follows the line automatically
runway two seven , FAA safety aids and visual aids and markings , design and planning of Pondicherry airport , primary data collected by me ..... . sometims
there are probably two CEO , one from Canara bank and the other from city union bank, probably the funding mechanism of students project reports and project funds which is aided through the controller of examination , central polytechnic adyar, probably from ethiraj college CEO c. mitesh / c. mohan Raj, Canara, Pondicherry engineering college campus bank ,
If it's made of tarmac, it can be called tarmac, correctly. It's not as good as the proper names, but it isn't incorrect. For the record, the proper name is "apron", and "ramp" is US slang.
I know this is a 4month old STUPID COMMENT. But, are you fucking serious? Its just a simple mistake! Why dont you make a video exactly like this and DONT make a single mistake. Pathetic.
Adding the zero makes it less ambiguous in (unreliable) radio communication. Eg. at LBG there are runways 7 and 27. Adding the 0 can make a huge difference there.
