Use an airport diagram or taxi chart during taxi, if published, and maintain situational awareness.
Bottom line
Prior to taxiing, a current copy of the airport diagram should be available for use by the pilot. Review the current airport diagram and hot spots and, if in use, a published textual description of standard taxi routes to provide an overall “big picture” of the airport and its potential areas for a runway incursion. Pilots should use a “continuous loop” process to actively monitor and update their progress and location during taxi.
