A third and more likely scenario is proceeding across the intersecting runway when the conflicting traffic is clear. ATC mentioned to me two possibilities for Runway 13 one is to back taxi on Runway 13 to Taxiway Delta or proceed forward and exit on Juliet. If the “Hold Short” is accepted, the aircraft must come to a complete stop before the Hold Short markings and wait for tower instructions.

If the tower instructs an aircraft landing on Runway 13 to land and hold short of Runway 18/36, the pilot needs to agree or otherwise respond: “unable.” The LAHSO location is painted on the runways using the same pavement markings used in the hold short line between a taxiway and a runway two solid lines, then two dashed lines. When this occurs, one of the two runways (or both) needs to resort to LAHSO operations. Reading uses LAHSO (Land and Hold Short Operations) when both Runway 13 and Runway 18 are in simultaneous use.

In this Chart Clinic, we will start by dissecting the Airport Diagram for Reading Regional Airport / Carl A Spaatz Field (KRDG) before considering two of its approach charts.

Typically, we think of airport diagrams as useful and important tools like “taxi diagrams,” but they are much more than that. F or “land” aircraft, all flights start and end at an airport or airstrip, and an important aspect in planning an IFR flight to an unfamiliar airport is to study not only the approach and departure charts, but also the airport diagram to fully understand the big picture.
