Two Runways

Holding Position Sign for Runway Approach and Departure Areas

(b)

If the sign is located on a taxiway that intersects the intersection of
two runways, the designations for

both runways will be shown on the sign along with arrows showing the
approximate alignment of each runway,

[1]as shown in FIG 2

[2]-

[3]3

[4]-

[5]26. In addition to showing the approximate runway alignment, the
arrow indicates the

direction to the threshold of the runway whose designation is
immediately next to the arrow.

(c)

A runway holding position sign on a taxiway will be installed adjacent
to holding position markings

on the taxiway pavement. On runways, holding position markings will be
located only on the runway pavement

adjacent to the sign, if the runway is normally used by ATC for "Land,
Hold Short" operations or as a taxiway.

[6]The holding position markings are described in paragraph 2

[7]-

[8]3

[9]-

[10]5, Holding Position Markings.

2.  Runway Approach Area Holding Position Sign.

 At some airports, it is necessary to hold an aircraft

on a taxiway located in the approach or departure area for a runway so
that the aircraft does not interfere with

operations on that runway[11]. FIG 2

[12]-

[13]3

[14]-

[15]15 depicts common situations. A sign with the runway designation(s)
and

the protected area(s) will be located at applicable holding positions
on the taxiway. For locations protecting only

the approach area, the holding position on the taxiway includes a sign
identifying the approach end runway

designation (e.g., 15) followed by a dash (

-

) and the letters "APCH". For locations protecting both the approach

and departure areas, the holding position on the taxiway includes a sig
n with the approach end runway
