It means in your part B you do not have full ICAO Aerodrome Chart of the airport you are going to use ??
So how you find all the taxiways, aprons, gates etc?
How can you follow the ATC commands?
Interesting...

2/ yes i do know the definitions. its the aerodrome marking section i'm talking about. there should be markings for a clearway which were not present as far as i can see from the video.
Since you are such a specialist on Annex 14, tell me where I can find
in it the description and definitions of the clearway markings????

I think there are NONE, the same as there are no extra markings for grass or mud...
Markings are for the areas where you are allowed to move around on the ground,
not where you are supposed to fly above or avoid at all.

So there are markings for runways, stopways, taxiways etc.

Generally, what I was taught by my CFI, follow the yellow line or green lights,
DO NOT ENTER anything that is not marked in a way recognizable for you...

Of course there are a big X markings on some surfaces, that look like taxiway or runway,
but are temporarily or permanently out of use.

But do you expect the airports to lay X everywhere around the runway?
On the dirt or grass around.

This runway in Łódź was just recently renovated, sand all around both ends...
Do you really think you are supposed to taxi on all surfaces at the airfield with no big X non it?

C'mon...
