This is one of the best KNOW HOW videos as far as aviation goes, great FREE knowledge that could be useful to future pilots..

That Marshall stick figure made me subscribe. BEST THING EVER!

Don't know if it is intencional, but the tone of your narration sounds a lot like the instructions that flight attendants give before planes start take-off procedures. And it's very calming too. : D

at schiphol airport we have some taxiway centre lines. but we also have ones which are not included in the vid. instead of an arrow and then a line to the apron. at schiphol we have the apron number followed by a line. no arrows at all.

There are several videos about additional Air Marshal hand signals in use. I would recommend:
Air Force Funny Crew (Part 1) and (Part 2)

Thanks for this, but please fix your audio. Sounds like you have auto-gain on, or bad compressor settings. Thanks!

Great video as always Doofer, thanks!

3:44 paused.

How do we make FSX display those markings? I typically see the branch-off centerlines, but when they say "park at gate 2"... I've never seen a number displayed anywhere. And some airfields have #1 on the far right (such as KBUF in sim), and some have #1 on the far left.

A lil bit smarter from a random recommended vid. Thanks!

[vanhouten]

This should be required viewing for all commercial pilots! They should watch this video and learn about "apron markings".

[gege]

Thank you Doofer. One more time a very well addition to my knowledge. ;-)

[supertminecraft]

The Marshall is awesome. You should make it a freeware addon

[kylesicotte]

Love these videos! Please make more! :)

[AwsomeStar]

Great video! Do they still produce such low-quality mics in 2016?
