Palm Beach International is a medium-sized, mixed-use airport located between the cities of West Palm Beach and Lake Worth on Florida’s east coast. It has associated Class Charlie airspace and several smaller airports in close proximity, including North Palm Beach County Airport, which has a very similar runway configuration. In addition to a complex taxiway system, PBI has two parallel runways and an intersecting runway, which has resulted in wrong surface landings and departures. This video prepares pilots for hot spots and other challenges they may experience at this airport.

To address wrong surface events where an aircraft lines up to or lands on the incorrect runway, taxiway, or airport, the FAA released Arrival Alert Notices (AAN) at various airports with a history of misalignment risk. View the PBI Arrival Alert Notice here: www.faa.gov/ai...
The FAA's From the Flight Deck video series uses cockpit mounted cameras to capture runway and taxiway footage and combines them with diagrams and visual graphics to clearly identify hot spots and other safety-sensitive items. Learn more at www.faa.gov/Fr...
