A direction sign identifies the designation and direction at a taxiwayintersect ion. A locat ion s ign is prov ided in conjunct ion w ith a runway des ignat ion s ign except at arunway/runway intersection.

LocationInformation signs are located on the left-hand side ofthe taxiway in line with the taxiway intersection marking.Where there is no taxiway intersection marking the sign is installed at least 40m away from the centerline oftheintersecting taxiway. A runway exit sign is located on the same side ofthe runway as the exit is located (i.e. leftor right). A runway vacated sign is located at least on one side ofthe taxiway.

Characteristics

An information sign otherthan a location sign consists ofan inscription in black on a yellow background. Alocation sign consists ofan inscription in yellow on a black background. A runway exit sign consists ofthe exittaxiway designatorand an arrow indicating the direction to follow. A runway vacated sign depicts the runway-holding position marking as shown in the example in Pattern A in the example under "Runway-Holding PositionMarkings". The inscriptions on a destination sign comprise an alpha, alphanumerical or numerical messageidentifying the destination plus an arrow indicating the direction to proceed. The inscriptions on a direction signcomprise an alpha, alphanumerical message identifying the taxiway(s) p lus an arrow orarrows appropriatelyoriented as shown in the example. The inscriptions on a location sign comprise the destination ofthe locationtaxiway, runway or other pavement the aircraft is on oris entering.Note: Generally, signs should be lighted ifthe runway ortaxiway on which they are installed is lighted.

A runway centerline marking is provided on a pavedrunway along the centerline.

CHARACTERISTICS

Runway centerline markings consist of a line of uni-formly spaced stripes and gaps. Stripes are normal-ly 30m long, gaps 20m long.

HIGH SPEED TAXIWAY TURN-OFF

INDICATOR LIGHTS (HSTIL)

ICAO term is Rapid Exit Taxiway Indicator Lights(RETIL)

APPLICATION

HSTIL should be provided on a runway intended foruse in RVR conditions less than 350m and/or wheretraffic density is heavy.

LOCATION

A set of HSTIL shall be located on the runway on thesame side of the runway centerline as the associat-ed high speed turn-off taxiway, in the configurationshown below.

UNITED STATES AIRPORT SIGN SYSTEMS

LOCATION SIGNS (continued)

ILS Critical Area Boundary Signs have a yellow background with a black inscription anda graphic depicting the ILS pavement holding position marking. This sign is locatedadjacent to the ILS holding position marking on the pavement and can be seen by pilotsleaving the critical area. The sign is intended to provide pilots with anothervisual cuewhich they can use as a guide in deciding when they are "clear ofthe ILS critical area."

DIRECTION SIGNS

Direction signs have a yellow background with a black inscription. The inscription identifies the designations(s)ofthe intersecting taxiway(s) leading out ofthe intersection that a pilot would normally be expected to turn ontoorhold short of. Each designation is accompanied by an arrow indicating the direction ofthe turn.

When more than one taxiway designation is shown on the sign each designation and its associated arrow isseparated from the othertaxiway designations by eithera vertical message divider ora taxiway location sign.

Direction signs are normally located on the left priorto the intersection. When used on a runway to indicate anexit, the sign is located on the same side ofthe runway as the exit.

Taxiway Direction Sign orRunway Exit Sign

Outbound Destination Sign

When the intersection is com-p ri s e d o f o n l y o n e c r o s s i n gtaxiway, it will have two arro wsassoc iated w i th the cro ss ingtaxiway.

DESTINATION SIGNS

Destination signs also have a yellow background with a black inscription indicating a destination on the airport.These signs always have an arrow showing the direction ofthe taxi route to that destination. When the arrow onthe destination sign indicates a turn, the sign is located priorto the intersection.

Destinations commonly shown on these types ofsigns include runways, aprons, terminals, military areas, civil

aviation areas, cargo areas, international areas, and fixed base operators. An abbreviation may be used as theinscription on the sign forsome ofthese destinations.

INFORMATION SIGNS

Information signs have a yellow background with a black inscription. They are used to provide the pilot withinformation on such things as areas that cannot be seen from the control tower, applicable radio frequencies,and noise abatement procedures. The airport operatordetermines the need, size, and location forthese signs.

Outbound Dest ination Sign toDifferent Runways. More thanone runway, separated by adot, is shown where the taxiingro ut e is common to both run-ways.

Inbound Destination Sign

RUNWAY DISTANCE REMAINING SIGNS

Runway Distance Remaining Signs are used to provide distance remaining information to pilotsduring take-offand landing operations. The signs are located along one orboth sides ofthe runway,and the inscription con sists ofa white numeralon a blackbackground. The signs indicate thedistance remaining in thousands of feet.

The distance remaining may be 50 ft less than shown on the sign. The re is a 50 ft tole rance in the sig nplacement. Some signs maybe omittedbecause they cannot meet this tolerance.

When runway length is not an even multiple of1000 ft, halfthe "additional distance" is added to the first and lastsign placement. The example below is fora 6900 ft runway.

INTRODUCTION

ENHANCED TAXIWAY CENTERLINE

AND RUNWAY HOLDING POSITION

MARKINGS

APPLICATION

The taxiway centerline markings prior to runwayholding positions are being enhanced to provide pi-lots with a visual cue that they are approaching aholding position. Runway holding position markingsare also being extended onto the paved shoulders oftaxiways and may be accompanied by surface paint-ed holding position signs. These new markings willbe the standard for many major airports in the Unit-ed States.

CHARACTERISTICS

a. Taxiway centerline markings are modified begin-ning 150 feet prior to the runway holding positionmarkings (where sufficient space is available)with the addition of parallel dashed yellow lineson both sides of the existing taxiway centerline.

b. Existing holding position markings are extendedonto paved taxiway shoulders allowing them tobe visible to pilots from the side windows of thecockpit for many aircraft.

c. Runway holding position signs may be paintedon the surface of the taxiway on both sides of thetaxiway centerline leading up to the runway hold-ing position marking (where sufficient space isavailable), white numbers on red background.
