Any pilot who frequents Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport needs to know about two Hot Spots that demand your full attention.

1. The first Hot Spot is the exit of H high speed taxiway, which is as you proceed north from Executive Beechcraft Hangar 1. It is easy to confuse H high speed and G taxiway. If you approach the big "NO ENTRY " sign painted on the ground with two do not enter signs on each side of the taxiway and a runway holdline. STOP !!! Go no further and contact Ground Control for further instructions. If you are confused, ask for progressive.

2. The second Hot Spot is where northbound G taxiway crosses runway 21. Identification of this intersection is confusing. Stop at the runway holdline. There is a surface paint runway marking and a wig wag light on the right side of the taxiway. Do not enter the runway unless you have been cleared by the tower.
