Taxi operations at major airports

[aviator_38]

Hi folks,

Some pilot friends have confessed of the high work load and stress level that they regularly experienced flying into the major airports,like LAX,JFK,ORD.

A large part of th e problem seems to be in the size of airport charts that they are provided with. Often the lack of familiarity and difficulty of correlating airport layout to the charts ,as well as poor visibility add to the high stress level .

Many says that they are more prepared by their training to handle inflight emergencies, but receive little training on how to get around the major airports they fly to.

Am just interested in finding out if this is an industry wide problem.


Cheers
