The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced new guidelines for airport diagram symbology and verbiage to minimize the risk of collisions and incursions at airport 'hot spots.' We take a closer look at what this all means below.
The FAA said,
"Under the new system, all hot spots related to complex or confusing taxiways, taxiway intersections, or taxiway/runway intersections, will be designated with circles and ellipses. Areas that present significant potential for wrong surface events will be designated by cylinders."
