From The Flight Deck - Burlington International Airport (BTV)

Burlington International (BTV) is a medium sized multi-use airport, located just east of the city of Burlington, Vermont. It serves the air carrier, general and corporate aviation communities as well as being home to the Green Mountain Boys of the Vermont Air National Guard. The traffic mix of light general aviation to air carrier to tactical fighter aircraft makes BTV a complex environment for pilots and controllers.
1:09 - The airport configuration, VOR and Class Charlie airspace
1:58 - Hot Spot 1 is at a large expanse of pavement that can be confusing to the itinerant pilot, and presents and opportunity for wrong surface departures
2:33 - Hot Spot 2 primarily concerns aircraft exiting the non-movement area and crossing the hold-short line for runway 1-19
3:10 - Hot Spot 3 is found at the intersection of runway 1-19 and taxiway Bravo
3:47 -Additional caution needed at Hot Spots 2 & 3 as the associated taxiways provide direct access from ramp areas to the runway. This configuration has been identified as contributing to pilot failure to hold-short at the proper location.
4:15 -The mix of traffic at BTV sometimes necessitate that the tower delay smaller, slower GA aircraft
The FAA's From the Flight Deck video series uses cockpit-mounted cameras to capture runway and taxiway footage and combines them with diagrams and visual graphics to clearly identify hot spots and other safety-sensitive items. Learn more at www.faa.gov/FromTheFlightDeck

Excellent overview. I would also mention there is extensive flight training at BTV. It can be extremely busy in the pattern on a nice day.

This is where I learned to fly! Love this airport, and area.

Thank you! This was very helpful to supplement to study ahead before going to this airport today! I appreciate it

Funny, never thought I'd see our airport on a FAA video.

Not a hotspot, but if you accidently exit the runway to the military side (Delta, Echo, and Foxtrot Ramps), you will be met with police vehicles and rifles from the Air Force Security Forces.

At 2:49 you speak so fast Runway ONE ONE NINER that can be confused to RWY 11/9 istead of 1/19.

[@agoogleuser2369]

C'mon man... There's no such a thing as runway 11-9...

[@thundercat2320]

Agreed…Zero one/one niner more appropriate
