This is the 4th of 7 videos in our From the Flight Deck - Complex Airfield Geometry series.

Wide expanses of taxiway pavement entering or along a runway may cause the loss of situational awareness for pilots and drivers, where correct visual perception is key to ensuring they know where they are and where the runway is.

0:45 - Awareness of airfield markings and signage is key in avoiding this sort of confusion.

1:02 - To assist in visual awareness and safety, pilots are advised to stay on the painted center lines of the taxiway as much as possible.

The FAA's From the Flight Deck video series uses aircraft-mounted cameras to capture runway and taxiway footage and combines them with diagrams and visual graphics to clearly identify hot spots and other safety-sensitive items.
