FAA Evaluating New Airport Signage

The FAA Technical Center’s Airport Safety Reseach & Development Branch is evaluating new signage and markings for approach hold and runway safety areas at Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD). Similar signs will be installed at Nashville International Airport (BNA) in December. The agency said some signage markings vary from airport to airport and the discrepancies could lead to confusion. Pilots are encouraged to evaluate the new signs by taking a brief FAA survey.
