Runway designation of both extremities indicates a holding position located at a point other than a runway extremity.

• A. Runway designation of both extremities of a runway
• B. Runway designation sign at an extremity
• C. No Entry Signs
• D. Outbound Destination Sign

Answer: (A)

When a holding position isn’t at the end of a runway, the sign can display the designations of both ends of that runway (for example, 09 and 27). This tells you that the hold applies with respect to either end of the runway, so you must hold at this point until cleared to cross or enter either runway. It distinguishes an intermediate holding point from a hold right at a runway threshold, where only that runway end would be referenced. A sign at a runway extremity would only indicate the single runway end, not both. No Entry signs and outbound destination signs serve different purposes and don’t convey which runway ends are involved in the hold.
