	Taxiway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A taxiway is a strip of land on an airport on which aircraft can roll (taxi) to or from a hangar, terminal, runway, or other facility.
		For night operations, taxiways are usually edged with blue lights, to distinguish them from the white lights of a runway.
		The centerline lighting is embedded in the taxiway, and an aircraft landing gear can thus roll over the lights.

	Taxiway Centerline Lead-On Lighting
		I frequently rely on the taxiway centerline lights for orientation during taxiing to and from a runway.
		The purpose of the alternating green/yellow taxiway lead-on lights is clear.
		The alternating green/yellow taxiway lead-on lights could cause a pilot to be confused about his/her position on the airport surface (e.g., mistaken for runway lead-off lights).

		Construction of a new taxiway with proper separation from the runway is a future project that would require use of over half of the Hensler property.
		One is a temporary taxiway, and, then, there is a permanent taxiway which is an extension of that taxiway further west, that those two projects, if we simply build them for the minimum FAA standards, require acquisition of around 43 to 44 percent of Mr.
		One was the construction of the 'temporary taxiway' and service road, another was the future construction of a 'permanent taxiway' and service road farther west, and a third was acquisition of the whole property in order to obtain a clear zone back to the 'Building Restriction Line' at the site of the Hensler property.

	The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: Pilots mistake taxiway for runway at Sea-Tac
		Taxiway Tango is lightly used, mostly by small private planes and corporate jets rolling to the general aviation hangar on the airport's west side.
		Commercial jets use Tango less often, mostly to reach parking spots on the edge of the taxiway during weather delays or when overnight parking at the terminal is full.
		The taxiway was completed in October 1999, an accessory to the planned third runway that has been delayed for years by court battles.

		A runway is the long paved strip that planes use for takeoffs and landings; the taxiway is a separate paved strip planes use for driving around on the ground while preparing for takeoffs or finishing up after landings.
		John Mininger, a board member with the authority, said the taxiway's condition isn't causing safety problems; it is causing ''costs and headaches,'' as airport workers make stopgap fixes until the full replacement is completed, he said.
		The taxiway contract was awarded to Blooming Glen Contractors Inc. A grant from the federal government is paying for 95 percent of the work.

		The airport's taxiway system had been incomplete due to existing terrain on the southwest side of the airfield where an embankment and small hill made it impractical.
