KEWR Hot Spot Awareness during Taxi
This notice expired on
Tuesday, December 22, 2020

A hot spot is defined as a location on an airport movement area with a history of potential risk of collision or runway incursion, and where heightened attention by pilots and vehicle drivers is necessary.

By identifying hot spots, it is easier for users of an airport to plan the safest possible path of movement in and around that airport. Planning is a crucial safety activity for airport users — both pilots and air traffic controllers alike. By making sure that aircraft surface movements are planned and properly coordinated with air traffic control, pilots add another layer of safety to their flight preparations. Proper planning helps avoid confusion by eliminating last-minute questions and building familiarity with known problem areas. More information and location of Hot Spots can be found at http://www.faa.gov/airports/runway_safety/hotspots/hotspots_list/.

Eastbound on Taxiway “Z” observe the enhanced centerline marking, the Runway Status Lights, and the runway hold short line to prevent a Runway Incursion on Runway 22R. Taxiing North on “P” and then west on “Z” observe the runway hold short line. Help stop Runway Incursions! For additional: information:
