DescriptionHolding position sign and marking for instrument landing system (ILS) critical area boundary.png
English: The instrument landing system (ILS) broadcasts signals to arriving instrument aircraft to guide them to the runway. Each of these ILSs have critical areas that must be kept clear of all obstacles in order to ensure quality of the broadcast signal.
The ILS critical area hold sign has white characters, outlined in black, on a red background and is installed adjacent to the ILS holding position markings. The holding position markings for the ILS critical area appear on the pavement as a horizontal yellow ladder extending across the width of the taxiway.
