This From the Flight Deck video will help you clearly identify hot spots, runway and taxiway configurations, and local traffic procedures at the Flying Cloud Airport (FCM) in Minnesota. The video covers:

  • Wrong runway approaches and landings due to FCM's parallel runways with staggered thresholds
  • Parallel taxiway B being mistaken for a runway
  • FCM Hot Spot 4 involving issues with taxiway A 
  • Hold short lines 
  • The approach end of runway 28 L is at an awkward angle for the control tower’s line of sight

You can view the video here.
