A Hot Spot is a location on an aerodrome movement area with a history or potential risk of collision or runway incursion, and where heightened attention by pilots/drivers is necessary.
Once hot spots have been identified, suitable strategies should be implemented to remove
the hazard and, when this is not immediately possible, to manage and mitigate the risk. These strategies may include:
- awareness campaigns;
- additional visual aids (signs, markings and lighting);
- use of alternative routings;
- construction of new taxiways; and
- the mitigation of blind spots in the aerodrome control tower.
