Runway Signs Explained - Learn Runway Markings in 6 minutes

Are you confused about runway markings and signs. Wonder what the aiming point is? What about displaced thresholds, touchdown points, and other airport signs. Well, me too. I don't know any of that stuff but if you watch this video, you won't be any closer to an answer but you might find a little aviation humor.

Bryan that is amazing! I went out to my local airfield here in Johannesburg, South Africa and scanned the barcode at the end of the runway. Guess what? I received an e-mail from you telling me I had won one of the Abbey Road hoodies. I am so stoked! Thanks so much.😎

I spent many years working in retail when I was in college, and I have several questions about the barcodes:
- If the barcode fails to scan, does that mean the landing is free?
- How do they deal with people replacing them with barcodes from "cheaper" airports in order to pay a lower price?
- Do I get a 5% discount if I apply for the airport's credit card?
Also, I see that you managed to get a shot of the ultra-elusive 747 Twin. Nice one Bryan with a Y!

Thanks Brian with a Y. I learned something new today. Now I understand why STOL pilots get into trouble when they side slip towards the runway & land on the numbers. Their transponders don't read the barcode.

Oh my god you are killing me right now !!! I don’t know how you come up with this but it is so funny !!!!

[papasto]

Wow i can't believe how much I've learned just from this video. I always wondered what the markings on a runway meant.

Phew, great timing on this video, Bryan! I'm taking my PPL/PAR written tomorrow and wouldn't have wanted to go without knowing this very important and completely true information!

[stevend]

One of your best videos!!! That is some funny stuff right there! and I would absolutely buy that shirt if it had a 31.

[ParrtheCourse]

Now I understand how I scored so low on my PPL written!

[sealight]

Every time I watch one of your videos I'm like "Damn! Why don't I watch more of this guy's" content?

[mfenrick]

Don’t want to give away my secret, but….Instead of landing on 35, I just come in against traffic and land on 17. Saves me a lot of money.

[williamkennedy]

And yet another 6 minutes and 53 seconds of My Life that I will never be able to get back. Damn you Brian! 👻

[tonyboy]

I love the content. It totally makes a whole lot of sense if you stop and think about it😂

[garyprince]

Love your creativity. Anybody that doesn’t see the humor needs to just plane leave.😎

'..supposing you're passengers like in this 747.. ' *flashes up a 737* - i am laughing hard during the whole vid, 😂.
I swear, it's like watching Airplane or Police Squad and trying to spot every deliberate goof .. thanks BrYan, you hilarious bastard 👍👍

[emehlig]

This guy will help you fail your test !!

[werrieshorne]

Man oh man. You make my day. Nothing like a dose of small fly planes to make the medicine go down.

[KevinSAviation]

Great stuff Bryan. Lol, it is definitely hard to creep your thoughts on track when the record button is pushed. Like the push to talk, record is the brain disconnect button. Keep up the excellent work as always. Safe skies 🤘🇺🇸🛩️

[kendodson]

You definitely need to make the Abbey road runway shirt!

[mikeryan]

That was short but right up there with the best.

I'm on IOE on the 737 and I can tell you there is some truth to those first officer bars. I landed way past those last night. Floated longer than an attendee at a Grateful Dead concert. Brian with a Y, you have outdone yourself. Literally laughing Out loud. The crosswalk and the stall warning made me laugh so hard it reminds me I need to remind my friends to tell them to stop watching your videos on short final.
