Airport in this video: Long Island MacArthur Airport, Islip, NY (ISP) ----- Airport Diagram/Description: 00:25 1:10 - Parallel Runways. As with most airports with parallel runways and/or staggered thresholds, this can present a challenge for pilots, and situational awareness is important. 2:04 - Unauthorized runway crossings. Pilots are reminded that a clearance to a runway does not authorize a crossing of that runway with a clearance. This is especially problematic at the intersection of taxiway W and runway 6-24, where the taxiway crosses the runway at an oblique angle. 2:41 - Taxiway B4 & Taxiway E. Taxiway B4 and Taxiway E are not aligned with one another across runway 33L. As a result, pilots have inadvertently turned onto runway 33L, instead of continuing on taxiway E. 3:30 - Approach holds. Always be aware of where approach holds are located. It is advised to read-back all hold short instructions. --------------- We hope this short video will assist you in your trip to Long Island MacArthur Airport, Islip, NY (ISP).
