FAA AC 150/5340-18G: Standards for Airport Sign Systems

Details

Abstract: This advisory circular (AC) contains FAA standards for the siting and installation of signs on airport runways and taxiways. Airport sign systems provide visual cues to pilots and vehicle operators, and enhance safe and efficient movement within the airfield. Elevated signs protect aeronautical surfaces and convey ground navigation information that enhances situational awareness when maneuvering on the airfield. The standards of this AC establish uniformity of sign systems throughout the National Airspace System (NAS) for consistent application and interpretation.
