Title:
Airport Signs and Markings
Topic:
A Review of the Common as Well as Uncommon Airport Signs and Markings.
Speaker(s):
Brayden Snedigar, CFI
Brief Description:
Do you know what is a runway approach holding sign and what are pilots expected to do? How about the standard marking for a taxiway approaching a runway? What is the difference between a relocated threshold and a displaced threshold and what does that indicate to pilots?
Most pilots have an operational knowledge of the most common runway signs and markings, but if you travel to a larger airport, are you knowledgeable about some of the less common signs and markings? If it has been awhile since you sat through ground school, you may want to join us for a refresher on airport signs and markings. In this safety seminar, we will review the common markings and signs as well as delve into other less common but still important signs and markings.
This safety seminar is open to current and aspiring Private Pilots, and will be of particular interest to student pilots and those who are preparing for a flight review.
