Taxi & Ground Operations — Holding Positions & Read-backs
Topic drill: a real runway holding position (sign and marking), a taxi clearance with a hold-short instruction, and the read-back. Ground operations cause more incursions per hour than any other phase of flight.
Runway incursions start on the taxiway. This drill shows you a real runway holding position — the red mandatory-instruction sign, the yellow location sign and the marking across the taxiway — and then walks you through the kind of taxi clearance you'll hear at a busy commercial field.
