    The A19 sign means you are going to get charged 19 times more fees than you thought. The A with 2 arrows means if you go this way there's a fee, and if you go that way the fee is much more. Enjoy your flight.

    I don't really understand why the ILS restriction isn't just placed at the same area as the runway holding sign. I can't remember seeing any ILS-only signs either, despite flying to ILS-capable major airports. Why do they exist, is it a radio antenna interference issue? Are they quite common or rare?

    • @alimasoud6674
      @alimasoud6674 2 роки тому +5

      It would disturb the ils radio waves connecting the airplane to the station so atc would prohibit aircraft from entering the area if there is weather conditions that would prohibit the pilot from seeing the runway

    What about when the tower instructs something like “hold short of Quebec” or “taxi to foxtrot”. Are these designations shown on signs and what do they mean?

    • @timothya.g.991
      @timothya.g.991 2 роки тому +5

      Usually it's like using Google Maps but this time the signs are on the ground, maybe when they say HOLD SHORT OF QUEBEC it probably means that Taxiway Q is up ahead

    • @holdingpointaviation
      @holdingpointaviation 2 роки тому +1

      So if ATC tells you to hold short of Quebec, it usually would mean that your Taxiway intercepts taxiway Quebec

    • @Anolaana
      @Anolaana 2 роки тому +5

      It's the Phonetic Alphabet. Because some letters sound quite similar and radio comms are notoriously a bit fuzzy, it helps to have "longhand" words for each letter. Like others have said, Quebec would be the long form of Q.
      The usual standard is NATO's alphabet, so you might also hear the following (I think some of the spelling is intentional to account for accents): Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliett, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu.

    Illustrations aren't exactly correct. 33-APCH wouldn't intersect a runway, it would be in the approach area. The ILS hold sign would be in the area where the aircraft would interfere with the NAVAID.

    The problem with this well intended post is that the narrator speaks too fast, often slurring words hurredly into one another. Common issue today. Furthermore his voice goes up suddenly, drops too low, speeds up..Hard and unpleasant to follow.

      ​@polytekhat isn't it only said as "three three" to limit risk of miscommunication? Where is that risk when you can hear it clearly with no radio static? I don't think this video was meant strictly for pilots and those working in the industry, which is the assumption you seem to have made here
