Congratulations on the presentation. If you are as good a pilot as you are a computer graphics creator, then you're pretty damn good. Thanks. Simple and clear.
Haha, thank you for the kind words. I'm really not a good graphics designer compared to professionals but I know enough to help make my points clearer for viewers :)
Super helpful! I'm a model railroader building a full airport and I'm doing my own markings and lighting! You sir have made my life much easier! Thank you
Before you connect the last taxiway light, do yourself the favour of a lifetime and go for a long weekend in Hamburg. For the MiniaturWunderland with its ever expanding number of countries, implausibly intricate and accurate scaled down landmarks, railway tracks stretching to the horizon and of course the way that they have incorporated their lovingly close take on HAM complete with taxiway green route to Apron lines. Oh and them having just about cracked realistic HO gauge take off & landing of nigh on every aircraft from The Flyer, via Concorde to Super Jumbos. And night time and then day time again. And fires being put out by Sapeur Pompiers. And I have gone on all night already, so just go. And if you've been, go again!
Mate - as a newly qualified pilot who learnt in rural areas (Devon, UK), I didnt have to fly into many larger airports, so the marking were a bit of a mystery. This video is amazing and so helpful - Thank you so much for taking the time to make an easy to follow and so informative video - Thanks
You're welcome, I'm really glad my video could help! Just a disclaimer, I'm not a pilot myself, just an enthusiast so please double check things with an instructor if you are planning on visiting larger airports :)
I completely understand that and always check things in the planning stage. Reading all the manuals is quite complicated when trying to visualise the way they are laid out, but the video filled in the gaps - Thanks again - Chris
Do you have a video where you tell how they communicate at an airport? PS Your videos are the shit. They are extremely interresting and i learned a lot from them :D
As clear as the Azure sky of deepest summer. -- Simply outstanding!! You made it so clear that even a budding aviation enthusiast totally understood and imprinted the layout. Now, if only the Department of Transportation or whoever "designs" highway and road markings would look and see how it's done.
Thank you I'm a air cadet and im doing a test on runways this help with revision thank you and I gonna share you with my friends if they need help with runways
Best of luck with the test! I'm glad my video could help but I feel compelled to say that I'm not a "professional" when it comes to Aviation and I'm not a pilot in real life, so if you've seen something in a textbook or been told something which is different to my video, trust that information over my video!
You're a good sport. Some times I have to rewind a few seconds because I drift in and out of consciousness on these, I enjoyed the little fun you had there, intentional or not. I love Easter eggs.
Excellent videos from Doofer911 Taxiways and Runways are not the best explained in airline training and information takes forever to find so this is a great roundup! Thanks
Many airports also have a warning sign RWY AHEAD painted in the middle of the twy to warn pilots they are approaching a rwy. Mostly when the twy is curved and the line of sight would be inconsistent with the shape of the twy.
Wow, that's some serious effort you've put into these runway/taxiway videos! Your explanations are very clear and easy to understand, I've learnt quite a lot. Thanks!
Hey! Your videos are great. I am 11 years old and i wanna be a pilot for finnair and your videos help me learn what i need to know and do. Keep up the great work!!!!
As a keen simulator pilot I have found these vids very interesting, filling in a few holes in my knowledge. Alas I only ever managed a couple of hours in a *real* front seat.
Yeah same, I'm hoping to get a Private Pilots License one day so I'm using this as a tool to learn how to fly, navigate etc. Glad these videos could help though :)
One thing that I picked up from that, especially when I was working at a local airport as a ground handler towing aircraft around the airport was taxiway naming. You noted that the hold point would have a number, which it doesn't. The number that is written on the sign is an indication of a branch of a taxiway. For example, when I was towing an aircraft, my instructions (after pushback) was "tow via G, B, B1, Cross Runway 34L, A1, A, International 3 to the gate". If those numbers were indicating hold points then I wouldn't be able to tow via them, where I clearly had to tow on that taxiway. The holding points never were numbered. Also, the ILS sign in some airports are different. At the airport I was at, the ILS sign didn't read ILS, but Cat II Holding Point 16R
Thanks, I always wondered what all the signs meant. Here is a suggestion that is related: take some ground control radio traffic and explain what they mean and how a pilot follows the instruction.
I fly regularly and am the type of person that likes this type of information to know what I am seeing. I want to note that I have never seen a row of steady runway guard lights. I see either the type of flashing light at both sides which flash faster than the video shows or a combination of the lights on the sides and a row of yellow alternating flashing lights across the taxiway which flash at about the same rate as shown in the video.
Well explained, will make ur outrageous runway presentation, thru our co employee ,here in manila international airport,promise Po ,before I retire, next year, will give them , something that cherish , And surely will apply in their job..tnxt. , luv ..for ur inf 10:42 o working here MIAA /NS/NAIA .,as lead engineer for airfield lighting system for almost 40 years in service .
I have to say, this is a very good explanation. Now I have two miscellaneous questions that might not necessarily affect what your general explanation covers. But here are my two questions: 1) Does the pilot need ATC clearance to pass an ILS stop mark? 2) Why would a pilot take a taxi way to the threshold of a runway rather than taxiing itself straight onto the runway itself? What's the difference that affects the plane's flight? If you have answers to these, please tell me. I believe there are answers that are very logical that should be self-explanatory, but I just want to confirm whether or not my assumption inside my head is correct or not. Thank you! And great video!
1. If the airport is operating under "Low Visibility Procedures" then the way that ATC manages movement of aircraft on the ground changes completely. On a normal day, I believe that pilots can taxi past ILS stop marks because "normal" stop marks are always found after the ILS mark, closer to the runway. In the UK, ATC will clear an aircraft to a specific point, then give the route. For example in this video, ATC would say something like "Cleared to holding point Alpha via taxiway Alpha." So ATC have cleared the aircraft all the way to the Alpha holding point, past any holds before that. Now if the airport was using Low Visibility Procedures, then they would give instruction and only clear the aircraft as far as the ILS holding point. 2. ATC prefer to have a plane on a runway for as little time as possible to reduce congestion. So again using my video as an example, if the aircraft is at Alpha holding point and they're cleared for takeoff, then they simply turn onto the runway and go, so they're not on the runway for too long. However if ATC let them on via Bravo, and clear them to "Backtrack" to the threshold, the aircraft would have to enter the runway at Bravo, turn left, taxi to the end of the runway, turn around and then go. That takes a lot longer and if you've got a busy airport, then other planes can't land or takeoff with another aircraft on the runway.
The holding points are usually numbered starting from the closest one to the runway. Taking your example we will have the A1 just before the runway, the A2 for ILS cat 2 h/p, the A3 just before the junction and the B1 on the B taxiway.
The paint contains tiny glass beads ( called ballotini) which reflect the aircraft’s headlight beams back on a parallel line to the aircraft to maximise conspicuity ( at least in U.K.)
I'm glad I found your videos as I've always been fascinated by the markings and lights at airports. For me, seeing them (and now understanding them!) is the best part of air travel... I'd like to ask you which program you prepared the graphics with? It looks very professional and I'm sure many viewers would like to know. Thanks again!
Eyy! Just saw the exam earlier and I passed it! Well, I'm not yet a pilot and it's just an entrance exam where it will test your knowledge about aviation. But hey, that landing and approach tutorials also did helped me, hoping I can put those in my simulation and real training.
If you can imagine a compass it has 360 degrees.. which means if one of your directions is 09L(90°) the opposite one has to be 90+180=270°... 27R. Check also Captain Joe and Mentour. Hope I helped even after so long time..
sometimes in the night when the aircraft approaches runway for a take off, if the stop bar lights are red, its mostly waiting for an inbound aircraft. In such case, the pilot will switch off the main light and other lights so as to not to distract the landing plane. :)
At 9:27. I've seen airports that have both that system and the other runway guard system. But the lights on the taxiway alternated as well. That being said are the two methods in your video also different types of runway guard lights airports can have
Sometimes red lights at the taxiway hold line will change to green. These are called status lights, which provide a pilot or equipment driver a visual reference for ATCT instructions.
we have yellow flashing gard light and red stop bar light when a plane have not been cleared to enter the runway. the red stop bar turn to green and tower clear a plane to enter the runway. I think in SYD they do have lead on light as well.
I don’t know if you’ll see this comment but if you do thank you very much for this informative video and can you help me better understand the ILS marking
At some airports the stop bar lights turn green when the approach path is clear and also at some airports the runway guard lights are both on the ground and on earthier side of the runway and alternate
Basic but good. You should emphasize that not only must one have ATC clearance to get on a runway but ditto for taxiways, if you charge onto a taxiway without a taxi clearance for that taxiway you almost certainly will be in for an FAA deviation that may require expensive remedial training. Consider a tour of a nite taxi on a large complex airport where the lighting can be confusing because it is a bit different and the much greater width of runways and taxiways add to distortion as seen from small GA planes much closer to the ground than cockpits of the commercial jets.
I think the reason it wasn't mentioned in this video is that this was purely an overview of the different markings found at an airport, not a description of procedures used at an airport.
An important tangential issue here is the new rule on taxi clearances. Previously, one cleared to "taxi to Runway 4 and hold," one was automatically cleared across any runway between the starting position and runway 4. Due to incidents of dangerous runway incursions...and a few accidents...one now needs additional clearance to cross any runway between one's current position and the destination runway. In short, never enter or taxi across any runway unless specifically cleared to do so.
Great video as always, I have tried B737 PMDG and it was completely different from default B737. All of the buttons work like the real aircraft and some of them are completely new specially the FMC. Would you please jump to PMDG and make some great tutorials? We all appreciate all your videos and wish you a great deal of success.
I think that the "L" and "R" are only used when there are two runways which are parallel one to another. In case of a single runway, or when we have two runways crossing each other, the number is enough. Am I wrong?
Thank fit the video. Very useful for me as a beginner. Regrading the mistake you mentioned in the video, the name for the runway shouldn't be marked as 09L and 27R?
I hope you answer: Why are the runway holdlines for Taxiway Bravo different to taxiway Alpha at night? Edit: So it is different because the holdlines are at different areas on the taxiway. Like, Taxiway Alpha's Holdline is at the far end. However, Taxiway Bravo is not?
There would be. The ILS hold lights would be 4 equidistant lights similar to the 3 yellow lights indicating a holding point on the taxi way. Also, I understand there is another version of the runway guard lights, which in this video is a string of lights across the width of the taxi way A. They can also be alternate yellow and black lights. Saw that somewhere.

Learn all the radio chatter as well, that'll freak people out ;)
Do you have a video where you tell how they communicate at an airport? PS Your videos are the shit. They are extremely interresting and i learned a lot from them :D
I do have a video about using the Air Traffic Control feature in FSX but nothing related to real world radio comms I'm afraid.

Thanks for the suggestion Tom, it's hard to get ATC recordings in the UK but I might be able to do it for some US airports.

I have seen some “taxiways with a yellow line and black edged on both sides” can you explain them
The holding points are usually numbered starting from the closest one to the runway. Taking your example we will have the A1 just before the runway, the A2 for ILS cat 2 h/p, the A3 just before the junction and the B1 on the B taxiway.

Was always wondering about these, thanks for making this vid., pretty useful!
One thing I got lost with is the "27", where does that come from?
Runway is running at 90 degrees to the east, so the 27 means it is running 270 degrees to the west
If you can imagine a compass it has 360 degrees.. which means if one of your directions is 09L(90°) the opposite one has to be 90+180=270°... 27R.
Check also Captain Joe and Mentour. Hope I helped even after so long time..
thanx, very clear, I´d like to know how to follow a given set of taxiways to get to, say, fuel or parking
Excellent I'm always curious about how the pilot lands... Thanks.

Sometimes red lights at the taxiway hold line will change to green. These are called status lights, which provide a pilot or equipment driver a visual reference for ATCT instructions.

way much better than book reading
At some airports the stop bar lights turn green when the approach path is clear and also at some airports the runway guard lights are both on the ground and on earthier side of the runway and alternate
mistake: is it missing the runway L and R on the runway sign??
Yep, correct! :)
WSHN See the other video.
there is no need of L or R when there is only one runway..
The runway itself is marked 09 L though, so it will require the letters.
And it should be 9 L not 09L
I love this video. Very well explained, thank you!
Basic but good. You should emphasize that not only must one have ATC clearance to get on a runway but ditto for taxiways, if you charge onto a taxiway without a taxi clearance for that taxiway you almost certainly will be in for an FAA deviation that may require expensive remedial training.

Would you please jump to PMDG and make some great tutorials? We all appreciate all your videos and wish you a great deal of success.
+reza moghaddasi Yeah I'll definitely do some PMDG aircraft soon. Want to make sure I cover off anything PPL related first
We are expecting and looking forward sir. Thank you very much.
The mistake is that it should be 09L
Yep, bingo! :)
And also 27R
The sign should read 9L-27R, the zero is left out in front of the 6.
I think that the "L" and "R" are only used when there are two runways which are parallel one to another. In case of a single runway, or when we have two runways crossing each other, the number is enough. Am I wrong?
gpav10 I think you’re right, since if it crosses, technically there’s no matching colors?
Thanks for the info bro.. please do videos like this for star, dep, hold, ils, vor, GPS and other approaches.. kind request..

Preety informative... I love to read about aviation its quite beneficial for me
I''m glad this video could help you learn about aviation :)
the taxiway centerlights at LAX alternate from green to red when ground gives them clearance to proceed
Yeah those will probably be the Runway Lead-On lights which work with the Stop Lights.
Excellent presentation. Thank you sir!
Thank fit the video. Very useful for me as a beginner.
Regrading the mistake you mentioned in the video, the name for the runway shouldn't be marked as 09L and 27R?
I hope you answer: Why are the runway holdlines for Taxiway Bravo different to taxiway Alpha at night?
Edit: So it is different because the holdlines are at different areas on the taxiway. Like, Taxiway Alpha's Holdline is at the far end. However, Taxiway Bravo is not?
another great tutorial ! thank you!
Incredible content keep it up. This helps me so much
Wouldn't there be ILS hold lights as well?
〈FaFmAn〉 thats what I wanted to ask too ;)
There would be. The ILS hold lights would be 4 equidistant lights similar to the 3 yellow lights indicating a holding point on the taxi way. Also, I understand there is another version of the runway guard lights, which in this video is a string of lights across the width of the taxi way A. They can also be alternate yellow and black lights. Saw that somewhere.
Nice tutorial, and the graphics must have taken some time to produce. Also, your communication skills are excellent. Thanks!
Yeah one of the more time consuming parts of a video production but it's so critical to the success of the video.
Beautiful graphics and explanation - many thanks :)
Glad you liked it :)
This is really helpful as it’s helping me to build me minecraft airport. I wanna look professional haha
great video but you havent specified if I need a tower clearance to pass the ILS critical area
You should make a video explaining about airport runway lights and what they mean and post it on here.
You mean something like this? ;) ruclips.net/video/2lMxSdFkYzo/видео.html
Once again I loved this video mate..
