What does a double dashed yellow line indicates on an airfield? Runway Holding Position Markings. For runways, these markings indicate where aircraft MUST STOP when approaching a runway. They consist of four yellow lines, two solid and two dashed, spaced six or twelve inches apart, and extending across the width of the taxiway or runway.
What are the yellow lines at the airport?
Markings for taxiways, areas not intended for use by aircraft (closed and hazardous areas), and holding positions (even if they are on a runway) are yellow.
How do pilots follow the yellow line?
On taxiways, there are yellow lines marking the center of the taxiway. It's important to keep the nose wheel on this line at all times so that the main wheels stay on the taxiway and to keep the wingtips clear of any obstacles.
