As someone who has flown as a passenger for over 60 years and who occasionally listens to ATC to pilot conversations, I have often wondered about the various airport signage and references. This video with the graphics provided a good introduction to understanding the terms/references/signage. Good job for teaching an old dog a new trick. Thank you.

Thank you for the video! It's clear and helpful for me to understand the confusing signs in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.

One mnemonic device that I like is "Black Square means you are there". Cool video.

The A19 sign means you are going to get charged 19 times more fees than you thought. The A with 2 arrows means if you go this way there's a fee, and if you go that way the fee is much more. Enjoy your flight.

I don't really understand why the ILS restriction isn't just placed at the same area as the runway holding sign. I can't remember seeing any ILS-only signs either, despite flying to ILS-capable major airports. Why do they exist, is it a radio antenna interference issue? Are they quite common or rare?

I learnt in the military for my flight line must review and refresh forgot them all

What about when the tower instructs something like “hold short of Quebec” or “taxi to foxtrot”. Are these designations shown on signs and what do they mean?
