Video Contents:
0:50 - Airport Layout/Diagram Description
1:30 - Hot Spot 1 concerns aircraft taxing north on taxiway G headed for runway 19 or southbound on taxiway G headed to or from Signature Flight Support or any of the hangars located on the east side of the runway complex. Specific clearance is required to cross runway 4/22. Taxiway G crosses the runway at an oblique angle which may contribute to pilot confusion and misidentification.
2:08 - Hot Spot 2 is located on the west side of the airport and primarily concerns aircraft from Atlantic Aviation, the T-hangars or the GA terminal, taxing to either runway 4 or runway 1.
2:55 - Pilots should be aware of the new taxiway L extension.
3:07 - Hot Spot 3 is also located on the west side of the airport. Aircraft cleared “taxi to runway 1 via F, B or A” have crossed runway 4/22. Pilots are reminded that a clearance to a runway does not authorize the crossings of any runways without specific clearance.
3:33 - One last caution, not depicted on the airport diagram, is directed at landing traffic on either runway and concerns taxing clear of your runway. While it may look like a great high speed turn off, the “other” runway is not to be used to taxi unless specifically directed by the tower.
