Simple taxiway sign question.

Featured Replies

I'm adding some taxiway signs to an AF2 file. As an example, for taxiway "F", should the sign read "F->" or "FOXTROT->" ?George

As far as I know it should be F->, but I don't know if this is different in other parts of the world.

If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can't be done.

Thank you Arno.George

If you use FOXTROT, ATC will say Foxtrot, Omega, Xray, etc. for each letter. The compressed audio format will say Foxtrot for "F"!If you put AA, ATC will say Alpha, Alpha. A1, Alpha-One!W. Sieffert

Thanks to everyone. I see the reason for single letters, one can only have 6 characters on a taxiway sign. Here is one of my signs.Georgehttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/90205.jpg
