C9/2010L/S4

Suosituksen perustelu

Oslo Aerodrome Hot Spot Chart (see appendix 1) includes specific points of inter-est, the so-called hot spots. Their purpose is to attract pilots' attention to locations where there are safety issues. Hot Spot 3 (HS3) is located on TWY C3 which leads from the general aviation apron, on the western side of the airport to RWY 01L/19R. The verbiage for Hot Spot 3 is: 'Angled TWY. Difficult to see traffic on RWY 01L'. Taxiway A1 includes the HS2 remark which acknowledges the 'Angled TWY'. However, it fails to mention that it is also difficult to see the traffic on the final approach of RWY 01L from TWY A1.

Recommendation

The Safety Investigation Authority, Finland recommends that Avinor equalizes the texts in HS2 and HS3 concerning the reduced visibility caused by angled taxiways.
