What are the two primary methods for increasing the conspicuity to Airport Markings? |
1. Outlining surface markings with black borders on light-colored pavements
2. Placing glass beads in paint |
|
|
What are the characteristics of black borders? |
Except for enhanced taxiway centerline applications, are 6 inches or greater in width to enhance the conspicuity of certain painted surface markings on concrete pavements and light-colored pavements. |
|
|
How are glass beads used on airports? |
Used to enhance the conspicuity of surface markings when aircraft and vehicles operate at night, during low-visibility conditions, or when the pavement surface is wet. Applied immediately after application of the paint, properly done via a glass bead dispenser attached to the paint equipment. Not allowed on black borders.

- The FAA allows for the use of __________ in areas subject to frost heave. These markings consist of painted stripes 4 inches to 8 inches in width that are separated by unpainted stripes. The width of the unpainted stripe may not exceed the width of the painted stripe. The width of the painted and unpainted stripes must be the same throughout the specific marking. Each edge of the marking must be a painted stripe.
- Never used on Category II and Category III runways. |
|
|
At a minimum, Visual Runways require what markings? |

2. Precision approach runway, Category II 3. Precision approach runway, Category I 4. Non-precision approach runway 5. Visual runway (Federal Aviation Administration, 2013).The - If intersecting runways are of the same precedence, the preferred higher precedence runway is the one having the lowest approach minimums or the runway end most often used. |
|
|
What is the Runway Landing Designator Marking? |
- The marking used to identify the runway end. These markings are white and consist of a single number or two numbers. - Never preceded by a zero. |

What is the Runway Threshold Marking? |
-Closely identifies the actual beginning point of the runway. Consisting of a pattern of white longitudinal stripes of uniform dimensions spaced symmetrically about the runway centerline, the marking starts 20 feet from the actual starting point of the runway.
- For standard runway widths, the longitudinal stripes are 150 feet long and 5.75 feet wide with the outer edges spaced (stripe-gap) 5.75 feet apart. However, the two longitudinal stripes nearest the runway centerline are doubled spaced, i.e., outer edges of the near-most pair are 11.5 feet apart. |
|
|
Number of Runway Threshold Stripes for 150' wide Runways? |
12 longitudinal stripes |
|
|
What is a Runway Aiming Point Marking? |
Designed to provide a visual ___________ for pilots as they approach to land. This marking is white and generally begins 1,020 feet from the runway threshold. The runway aiming point marking consists of two conspicuous rectangular markings, 150 feet in length for runways of at least 4,200 feet, and 100 feet in length for runways less than 4,200 feet in length, that are located symmetrically on each side of the runway centerline.

What is a Runway Touchdown Zone Marking? |
Identifies the _________ along a precision runway in 500-foot increments (Figure 2-8). Consists of symmetrically arranged pairs of rectangular bars in groups of one, two, and three along the runway centerline. Dimensions and lateral spacing vary and are shown in Table 2-6 The scheme maintains a 900-foot “no-marking zone” from the midpoint of the runway back toward the threshold. That is, those pairs of surface markings that extend within 900 feet of the runway midpoint are eliminated. The intent of this painting practice is to preserve a 1,800-foot unmarked area so pilots do not confuse the surface markings during a landing with the surface markings for the other approach procedure. |
|
|
What is the Runway Edge Marking? |
Provides enhanced visual contrast between the runway edge and the surrounding terrain or runway shoulders and delineates the width of suitable paved area for runway operations. Consists of two parallel stripes, one placed along each edge of the usable runway with the outer edge of each stripe approximately on the edge of the paved usable runway. Has a minimum width of 36 inches for runways of 100 feet or wider in width and at least 18 inches on smaller width runways. |
|
|
What is Runway Displaced Threshold Marking? |

|
|
Holding Position Markings: Case 1 - Pattern A, B. or C? |
Case 1: In terms of taxiing on a runway, an aircraft will need to hold short of an intersecting runway. In all Case 1 applications, the location of the runway holding position marking is at or beyond the edge of the runway safety area of the intersecting runway. |
|
|
Holding Position Markings: Case 2 - Pattern A, B. or C? |
Case 2: In terms of landing on a runway used for land and hold short operations (LAHSO), the aircraft will need to hold short of an intersecting runway or, insome rare cases, at a specified hold spot on the landing runway. In all Case 2 applications, the location of the runway holding position marking is at or beyond the edge of the runway safety area of the intersecting runway. |
|
|
Holding Position Markings: Case 3 - Pattern A, B. or C? |
Case 3 (most common application for Cases 1, 2, and 3): In terms of taxiing on ataxiway, an aircraft will need to hold short prior to entering an active runway. |

Case 4: In terms of taxiing on a taxiway, an aircraft will need to hold short before entering the critical area of an Instrument Landing System (ILS)/Microwave Landing System (MLS). |
|
|
Holding Position Markings: Case 5 - Pattern A, B. or C? |
Case 5: In terms of taxiing on a taxiway, an aircraft will need to hold short before entering the critical area of a Precision Obstacle Free Zone (POFZ). Although thesurface marking pattern is the same as Case 4, the pattern in many applications isL-shaped, instead of only linear in shape |
|
|
Holding Position Markings: Case 6 - Pattern A, B. or C? |
Case 6: In terms of taxiing on a taxiway, an aircraft will need to hold short of ataxiway/taxiway intersection (Federal Aviation Administration, 2013). |
|
|
Holding Position Markings: Pattern A |
When painted on a runway identifies the location where a pilot (or vehicle driver) is to stop and hold when: (a) the runway is operationally closed for an interval of time so that ATCT can control taxiing operations through a runway/runway intersection,or (b) the runway is used for land and hold short operations (LAHSO). When painted on a taxiway, identifies (a) the location on a taxiway where pilots and vehicle drivers are to stop until they receive a clearance from ATCT to proceed onto the runway, (b) the location where a pilot and vehicle drivers are to stop to ensure that they have adequate separation with other aircraft before proceeding onto the runway, or (c) the location on a taxiway where pilots and vehicle drivers are to stop to receive clearance from the airport traffic control tower before proceeding through the protected area. |

Enhanced Runway Hold Position Marking Diagram |
Applicable only tothose taxiway entrances that serve Airplane Design Group (ADG) V or VI airplanes. The extended runway holding position marking, as illustrated in Figure 2-13, ismandatory and is the only acceptable means of compliance for 14 CFR Part 139certificated airports serving ADGs V and VI airplanes. The enhanced runway holdingposition marking applies only to those taxiway entrances for a given runway that servethese airplane design groups. For taxiways wider than 75 feet that connect to therunways that serve ADG V or VI aircraft, the holding position line is extended so it is 25feet on both paved taxiway shoulders (Federal Aviation Administration, 2013). |
|
|
Holding Position Markings: Pattern B |
Designed as an ILS/MLS holding position marking, identifies the location on a taxiway or holding bay where a pilot or vehicle driver is to stop when they have received instructions from the ATCT to hold before entering an ILS/MLS critical area. This marking protects ILS/MLS signals, as well as the approved terminal instrumentprocedures (TERPS) for CAT II/III operations. (Federal Aviation Administration,2013). Additionally, Pattern B can be used as a precision obstacle free zone (POFZ) holding position marking. In this manner, the marking would identify the location on a taxiway or holding bay where a pilot or vehicle driver is to stop when they have received instructions from the ATCT to hold before entering the POFZ critical area. |

What are Lead-on/off lines? |
For a taxiway that intersects a runway at a runway end, the taxiway centerline is terminated either at the runway edge or at the outer edge of the runway edge marking. Where there is a displaced threshold, the taxiway centerline marking continues onto the displaced area of the runway and extends parallel to the displaced threshold markings (arrow heads and arrow shafts) for a distance of 200 feet beyond the point of tangency or terminates at the point of contact with the displaced threshold bar, whichever is less. - For low-visibility taxiing operations, when the runway visual range (RVR) is below 1,200 feet, the taxiway centerline marking continues across all runway markings with the exception of the runway designation marking and, unless required by a SMGCS Plan, the runway threshold marking (longitudinal stripes). For taxiways that intersect a runway at any other locations than at the runway end, the taxiway centerline marking curves onto the runway and extends parallel to the runway centerline marking for a distance of 200 feet beyond the point of tangency with the runway centerline or terminates at the point of contact with the displaced threshold bar, whichever is less |
|
|
What is an Enhanced Taxiway Centerline Marking? |
Designed to alert pilots of an upcoming runway holding position marking (Pattern A) so that the potential for runway incursions is minimized. This safety enhancement is only used on those taxiways that directly enter a runway (Federal Aviation Administration, 2013). Begin 150 feet prior to a runway holding position marking. The portion of the taxiway centerline between the runway holding position marking and the runway itself is not enhanced. Yellow and must use glass beads. |

|
What are Taxiway Edge Markings? |
Yellow in color, is used along a taxi route when it is deemed necessary by the airport operator or the FAA to (a) alert pilots where the demarcation line exists between usable pavement for taxi operations and unusable pavement and (b) identify the edge(s) of a taxi route located on sizeable paved areas that can be crossed over by the pilot. |
|
|
What is a Continuous Taxiway Edge Marking? |
Used to delineate the taxiway edge from the shoulder or some other contiguous paved surface that is not intended for use by pilots. Consists of dual, continuous lines with each line being at least 6 inches in width and spaced 6 inches apart (edge to edge). |
|
|
What is a Dashed Taxiway Edge Marking? |
Used where there is an operational need to define the edge(s) of a taxi route on, or contiguous to, a sizeable paved area that permits pilots to cross over this surface marking. A common application for this surface marking is a taxi route along the outer edge of a terminal apron. Consists of dual, dashed yellow lines that are at least 6 inches in width and spaced 6 inches apart (edge to edge). Are 15 feet in length with 25-foot gaps. |
|
|
What are Surface Painted Hold Position Signs? |
Designed to supplement signage by alerting pilots and vehicle drivers of an upcoming holding position location and associated runway, as yet another method to minimize the potential for a runway incursion and/or inadvertent takeoffs from the wrong runway. Used only on those taxiways (not runways) with a Pattern A or B holding position marking that enter a runway. Taxiways that do not lead directly onto the runway, such as a taxiway that crosses through an approach area, would not have this surface painted sign. - Has a red background with a white inscription and, on light-colored pavements, is outlined in black. Although this marking supplements the mandatory runway holding position sign, the black outline that surrounds the white alphanumeric inscription on the signs is not required for the surface painted holding position sign. - Is Mandatory and the only means of compliance for all Part 139 certificated airports regardless of the number of runways at the airport. |

|
Stacked Surface Painted Holding Position Signs Diagram |
For taxiway entrances or a taxiway entrance with a complex geometry that requires a lengthy inscription (a single surface marking) for two or more runways and that will not fit properly between the existing taxiway centerline and the taxiway edge, the airport operator should reduce the inscription height. Under this solution, the lowest allowable height for the inscription for TDGs 3-7 standard taxiway widths is 6 feet and for TDG-1A, TDG-1B, and TDG-2 standard taxiway widths is 3 feet (Federal Aviation Administration, 2013). |
|
|
What are Surface Painted Taxiway Direction Signs? |
Used with an arrow to provide directional guidance at an intersection when it is not possible to provide a taxiway direction sign or at troublesome taxiway intersections. The edge of the surface painted taxiway direction sign (excluding the border if used) is 3 feet from the edge of the taxiway centerline and is located on the side of the taxiway centerline that the aircraft travels. - Has a yellow background with a black inscription that includes an arrow(s). On light-colored pavements, a 6-inch black border completely surrounds its perimeter. |
|
|
What are Surface Painted Taxiway Location Signs? |
Used to enable pilots and ground vehicle operators to identify the taxiway upon which they are located. This marking is required when deemed necessary by the airport operator or FAA. Optionally, it may be installed where operational experience has indicated that its presence can assist flight crews in better ground navigation. - Located normally on the right side of the taxiway centerline in the direction of travel. - Has a black background with a yellow inscription and a yellow border around its perimeter for all pavement surfaces.T The edge(excluding the border if used) of the surface painted taxiway location sign should be 3 feet from the edge of the taxiway centerline. |
|
|
What are Surface Painted Gate Destination Signs? |
Used, when necessary, to assist pilots in locating their assigned terminal gate (Figure 2-25). The marking is especially useful for low-visibility operations. Whether painted in non-movement areas or movement areas, the markings are located adjacent to taxiway centerlines on the same side in which a turn will be made while traveling toward the assigned gate. The surface painted gate destination sign has a solid yellow background with a black inscription. On light-colored pavements, a 6-inch black border may be used. |

What are Surface Painted Apron Entrance Point Sign? |
Used, when necessary, to assist pilots in locating their position along the edges of a large, continuous apron serving the terminal gates (Figure 2-26). The marking is especially useful for identifying both the entrances and exits in and along the terminal complex. To facilitate shorter, less confusing verbal communication and movement of ground traffic, the __________ is sometimes referred to as the “ramp spot” at some airports. The marking, located 7 feet from taxiway centerline(s), is on the same side of the centerline to which a turn will be made to travel toward the assigned gate.
- Has a yellow background with a black inscription. - Consists of three 9-foot diameter circles each located 7 feet from the associated taxiway/apron centerline. |

What are Taxiway Shoulder Markings? |
With paved shoulders along aprons, holding bays, and taxiways, ________ may be used. These markings will prevent aircraft use of areas not intended foruse by aircraft. Although these shoulders are not intended for use by aircraft, conditions may exist along a taxi route that confuse cause pilots and cause them to use the shoulders. Where such conditions exist, the airport operator should paint taxiway shoulder markings to indicate the non-usable (deceptive) area toPilots. Yellow in color and painted using a perpendicular reference line draw from the taxiway centerline. |

What is the Geographic Position Marking? |
Designed to assist pilots with confirming holding points and/or reporting their location while taxiing during periods of low-visibility operations. Each marking is positioned to the left of the taxiway centerline in the direction of taxi. Generally, the _________ are sequentially numbered holding points along a designated taxi route. When these markings are used by the ATCT to designate a specific hold point along the low-visibility taxi route, they are co-located with the intermediate holding position marking for taxiway/taxiway intersections. - Never located at a runway holding position marking location that immediately enters the runway used for the departure. However, it may be located at a runway holding position for other runway(s) that the designated low-visibility taxi route happens to cross prior to arriving at the departure runway (Federal Aviation Administration, 2013). A 7-foot diameter pink circle with a black inscription surrounded by two 6-inch wide rings, one white and one black. |

What is a Ramp Control Marking? |
Used to facilitate the local ramp tower or the FAA airport traffic control tower in the movement of aircraft and vehicles to designated areas of ramps, aprons, and other paved areas between non-movement areas and the movement area. In terms of controller workload, the surface marking simplifies verbal communications between controllers, pilots, and vehicle drivers during this transition process. Has a black inscription on a yellow background with a black border when painted on light-colored pavements. The black inscription, determined by the airport operator, may be numeric, letters, or alphanumeric with or without special characters such as an arrow. Flexibility is acknowledged for the black inscription as a means for the airport operator to address the varied operational applications conducted on diverse apron and ramp layouts. The black inscription is centered within the surface marking with a height of at least 4 feet. May be circular- or triangle-shaped. |

What are Vehicle Roadway Markings? |
Used to delineate roadways on paved areas used by aircraft (Figure 2-30). Markings for roadways not located on aircraft maneuvering areas, such as airport service roads, should conform, whenever possible, to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Do not use surface markings intended for aircraft, such as holding position markings or non-movement area boundary markings for roadways used exclusively by vehicles. - White, and all vehicle roadway markings are interrupted when crossing any taxiway and runway markings. Consist of (a) roadway edge lines to delineate each edge of the roadway, (b) a dashed line to separate lanes within the edges of the roadway, and, where appropriate, (c) a roadway stop line (bar). |

What s a Very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) receiver checkpoint?
|
Used at airports with a VOR located on-site (Figure 2-31). With this, pilots are able to check their aircraft instruments with the VOR signal. FAA personnel determine the location for the VOR receiver checkpoint marking(s) and issue information for checkpoint descriptions in flight publications. This marking is best located on an airport apron, but a taxiway may also suffice. Should not be established at distances less than one-half mile from the VOR, nor on unpaved areas. The marking consists of a circle 10 feet in diameter with a yellow arrow aligned toward the azimuth of the VOR facility. When installed on concrete or other light-colored pavements, the interior of the circle is painted black (Federal Aviation Administration, 2013).

|
What is a Non-Movement Area boundary marking? |
Used to differentiate between movement and non-movement areas, previously agreed to in an LOA between the airport and ATCT(Figure 2-32). To provide adequate clearance for the wings of taxiing aircraft, the marking should never coincide with the edge of a taxiway. Likewise, it should not be painted on the outer edges of an apron that is transitioning into a taxiway that lead sdirectly to a runway (Federal Aviation Administration, 2013). |
|
|
What is an 'X' Marking? |
Permanently closed runways and taxiways are indicated by the use of an ____ marking. - For closed runways, solid yellow ________ markings should be painted at eachend of the runway and at 1,000-foot intervals along the length of the runway. For a closed runway that intersects an active runway, a solid yellow _____ marking should be placed on the closed runway near the sides of the open intersecting runway. In most cases, two ______ markings are required. For closed taxiways, a yellow ________ marking is placed at each entrance of the closed taxiway |
|
|
'X' Marking Diagram |
|
|
|
Visual indication For Temporarily Closed Runways? |
1. The airport operator uses a raised-lighted “X” on each runway end to indicate the runway is temporarily closed (preferred).
2. The airport operator places an “X” only at each end of the runway over the runway designation markings or, when required by construction activity, just off the runway end. The “X” is yellow in color and conforms to the dimensions specified in AC 150/5340-1. Since the “X” is used temporarily, they are usually made of some easily removable material, such as plywood or fabric, rather than painted on the pavement surface. Any materials used for a temporary “X” should provide a solid appearance. Anchoring devices should be designed to minimize damage to pavement, and any damage should be repaired before the runway is opened to aircraft traffic |
|
|
Visual indication for Temporarily Closed Taxiways? |
1. Usually this type of closure is treated as a hazardous area
2. As an alternative, the airport operator may install the same yellow “X” specified earlier for those entrances leading into the temporarily closed taxiway (Federal Aviation Administration, 2013). Any barricades must be placed outside the safety area of intersecting taxiways. If the runway or taxiway will be closed during the nighttime, the runway and taxiway lights will normally be disconnected so they cannot be illuminated, unless such illumination is needed to perform maintenance operations on or adjacent to the runway. If the taxiway will be closed for an extended period, obliterate taxiway centerline markings, including runway leadoff lines, leading to the closed section. If the centerline markings will be reused upon reopening the taxiway, it is preferable to paint over the marking. This will result in less damage to the pavement when the upper layer of paint is ultimately removed. |
|
|
Physical Removing of Markings |
Physical removal of markings is achieved by water blasting, shot blasting, sand blasting, chemical removal, or other acceptable means that do not harm the pavement. The physical removal of any old markings must include a pre-determined larger size and shape of a removal area that encompasses the old markings and by grouping adjacent markings together into a larger rectangular removal area. The rationale behind this practice is to eliminate the continued visual appearance of the removed markings.When a runway end or threshold is being moved, all of the markings that are being removed must be strikingly larger in size, grouped together with adjacent markings and be rectangular in shape (Federal Aviation Administration, 2013).The AC makes it clear that the airport operator is responsible for determining (1) the need for a visual indication that a runway or taxiway is temporarily closed and (2) the safest place to put the “X” or “X”s or other indicators per the AC. In making these determinations, the airport operator should consider variables such as the reason for the closure, duration of the closure, airfield configuration, and the existence and hours of operation of the ATCT and construction crews.At airports where a taxiway has been mistaken as a runway, the “TAXI” marking, as an interim measure, may be applied (Figure 2-34). |
