TOWER: Aircraft crossing active runways without holding

[Paul McCormack]

In the manual, it states that aircraft will not enter active runways, but I am seeing this happening every time. Happens whether aircraft are assigned to taxi to runway, in which case they line up and wait automatically; also when aircraft land and then exit the runway by crossing another active runway (eg landing 06L and taxiing direct to E at LAX). Am I missing something??

 

Thanks,

 

Paul

You have to instruct them to hold short.

Hi Paul, you can manage this with consecutive instructions, such as

ANZ06 landing on 07R at LAX

Instruction 1. ANZ06 taxi to terminal via B S D

Instruction 2. ANZ06 hold short of runway 07L

You will often need to use Instruction ANZ06 hold short of taxiway S, as well to manage conflicting traffic moving from N to S.

To get the aircraft to move from the hold position, you use Instruction. ANZ06 continue taxi.

Thanks for the replies. I've reread the manual and I see where I misunderstood it. The example was at St Thomas where the aircraft was instructed to cross it's assigned runway and then enter at C. I understand the difference now.
