Surface painted taxiway direction signs.


FIGURE 14-20

Orientation of signs is from left to right in a clockwise manner. Left turn signs are on the left and right turn on the right. In this view, the pilot is on Taxiway Bravo.

FIGURE 14-50

A sound practice is to write down taxi instructions from ATC.


FIGURE 14-51

Do NOT cross a runway holding position marking without ATC clearance. If the tower is closed or you are operating from a non-towered airport, check both directions for conflicting traffic before crossing the hold position marking.
