The document details various airport signage and marking standards, including mandatory signs for runway and taxiway safety, as well as specific signaling for aircraft approaches and departures. It also introduces operational requirements for aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicles, outlining equipment specifications, response times, and communication protocols. Key provisions on fire safety areas and indices for operational capabilities are highlighted, ensuring that airports maintain safety measures in line with federal regulations.

1. Airport Familiarization

2. Signage

3. • MANDATORY Holding Position Sign:
Denotes entrance to runway from a
taxiway. Located on the left side of the
taxiway within 10 feet of hold position
markings.

4. • MANDATORY Holding Position Sign for
runway approach areas: Used to protect
the approach or departure area of a
runway so that taxiing aircraft or vehicular
traffic do not interfere with the operations
on that runway.

5. • MANDATORY ILS Holding Position
Sign: Denotes entrance to area to be
protected for an ILS signal or approach
airspace.

6. • MANDATORY No Entry Sign: Denotes
where aircraft entry is prohibited.

7. • Taxiway Location Sign: The inscription is
the designation of the taxiway on which
the aircraft or vehicle is located. These
signs are installed along taxiways, either
by themselves or in conjunction with
direction signs.
A

8. • Runway Location Sign: The inscription is
the designation of the runway on which the
aircraft is located. These signs are
intended to complement the information
available to pilots through their magnetic
compass. Typically, they are installed
where the proximity of two or more
runways to one another could cause pilots
to be confused as to which runway they
are on.

9. • Runway Approach Area Boundary Sign:
This sign, which faces the runway and is
visible to the pilot exiting the runway, is
located adjacent to the holding position
marking on the pavement. The sign is
intended to provide pilots with another
visual cue which they can use as a guide
in deciding when they are “clear of the
runway”.

10. • ILS Critical Area Boundary Sign:
Indicates when you are safely clear of the
ILS critical area. It is located directly
beside the ILS holding position markings.
While ILS approaches are in use, taxi past
the sign before stopping on the taxiway.

11. • Runway Exit Direction Sign: This sign
will indicate the approaching taxiway while
on the runway. In this example, taxiway
Alpha is approaching to the right.
A

12. • Outbound Destination Sign: Runways
27 and 33 are to your right.
• Never co-located or combined with other
signs.

13. • Inbound Destination Sign: The military
installation is to your right. Other
information signs are Cargo, Term
(Terminal), Ramp, etc.

14. • Taxiway Ending Marker: This sign
indicates the termination of the taxiway. It
is located at the far end of the intersection.

15. • Runway Distance Remaining Sign: have
a black background with white numbers.
The numbers indicate the distance of the
remaining runway in thousands of feet.

16. Markings

17. • Runway Holding Position Marking: The
solid lines are always on the side where
the aircraft and vehicles are to hold. They
are located on all taxiways that intersect
runways approximately 300’ from the
runway centerline.

18. • ILS Holding Position Marking : These
markings identify where aircraft and
vehicles are to stop when instructed to
hold short of the ILS critical areas.

19. • Taxiway/Taxiway Holding Position
Marking : Denotes location on taxiway or
apron where aircraft hold short of another
taxiway.

20. • Non – Movement Area Boundary
Marking : Delineates movement area
under control of ATCT, from non-
movement area. The solid line is located
on the Non-Movement Area side while the
dashed line is located on the Movement
Area side.

21. • Taxiway Centerline Marking : Solid
yellow line that provides a visual cue for
taxiing along a designated path.

22. • Enhanced Taxiway Centerline Marking :
Provides visual cue to help identify
location of hold position. (150 feet in
length).

23. • Taxiway Edge Marking : used to define
the edge of the taxiway. They are
primarily used when the taxiway edge
does not correspond with the edge of the
pavement.

24. • Vehicle Roadway Marking : “Zipper
Stripes” mark areas intended for vehicle
traffic. Solid white stripes may also be
used to define vehicle roadways located
on an aircraft apron area.

25. • Closed Runway and Taxiway Marking -
Located at both ends of permanently
closed runways and at 1,000-foot intervals.
It is also placed at taxiway entrances if
they are permanently closed.

26. 32
• Apron Entry Point (AEP) : A unique
system of identifying the numerous
taxilanes that lead from the ramps onto the
taxiways.

36. ILS

37. Instrument Landing System
A ground-based instrument approach system that provides
precision guidance to an aircraft approaching a runway,
using a combination of radio signals and, in many cases,
high-intensity lighting arrays to enable a safe landing during
instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), such as low
ceilings or reduced visibility due to fog, rain, or blowing snow.
The ILS consists of:
• the localizer transmitter;
• the glide path transmitter;
• the marker beacons
• the approach lighting system.

38. Localizer Antenna
The localizer provides
runway centerline guidance
to aircraft. The Localizer is
placed about 1,000 feet on
the far end of the
approached runway.

39. Glideslope Antenna
The Glide Slope is the
signal that provides vertical
guidance to the aircraft
during the ILS approach.
The standard glide-slope
path is 3° downhill to the
approach-end of the
runway. Follow it faithfully
and your altitude will be
precisely correct when you
reach the touchdown zone
of the runway.

40. ALSF-2 Runway
• A high intensity approach lighting system
that provides a visual lighting path for
landing aircraft on Cat II and Cat III
Runways.
• Lights are spaced 100’ apart starting from
the runway threshold. Usually a 2400-
foot-long array of lights but can be longer
or shorter depending on local terrain and
requirements.
• System control of the sequence flashing
lights is accomplished through the master
controller selecting one of three light
intensities: low, medium, or high. Both the
sequence flashing and the steady burning
light systems provide for either local or
remote control.

41. MALSR Runway
• Medium intensity approach lighting system
that provides a visual lighting path for
landing aircraft.
• Lights are spaced 200’ apart starting from
the Runway Threshold. Usually 2400 foot-
long array of lights but can be longer or
shorter depending on local terrain and
requirements.
• System control of the sequence flashing
lights is accomplished through the master
controller selecting one of three light
intensities: low, medium, or high. Both the
sequence flashing and the steady burning
light systems provide for either local or
remote control.

42. Wind Sock
Lighted and frangible
mounted wind socks must
be installed near the
approach end of each
runway, preferably opposite
the 1,000 foot mark and
150 feet off the left side of
the runway.
