airfield communication

It is relatively easy to navigate around small airports, but large airports can be a nightmare for pilots using them for the first few times. Pilots can inform the ground controller they are unfamiliar with the airport, and request progressive taxi instructions. The ground controllers are happy to help newcomers. The airborne view of Dallas/Ft. Worth airport will give you a picture of how complex and confusing a large airport can be to pilots who do not work out of DFW regularly. The view looking north shows nine runways and dozens of taxiways and high-speed turnoffs.
