When assigned a departure at an intersection versus a full length takeoff, state “intersection departure” at the end of the take-off clearance readback.Note that if you see an aircraft in take-off position on a runway with take-off/landing lights on, that aircraft has most likely received its take-off clearance and will be departing immediately.When “cleared for takeoff”, turn on all exterior lights, including take-off/landing lights.If you have been holding in position on the runway for more than 90 seconds, or upon seeing a potential conflict, contact the tower. If cleared to “line up and wait”, turn on all exterior lights except take-off/landing lights.Maintain a “sterile cockpit” when taxiing.Be aware that hold short lines can be as far as 400’ from the runway due to new Precision Obstacle Free Zone ( POFZ) requirements.If there is any doubt that the runway is clear, reconfirm crossing clearance with ATC.Visually check to ensure there is no conflicting traffic prior to crossing the runway. Prior to crossing any runway during taxi, ensure you have a clearance to cross.Stop aircraft on the taxiway and request ATC clarification if there is confusion regarding aircraft position or ATC taxi clearance.Be alert to similar call signs operating on the field.Focus attention and have your "eyes out" of the cockpit when taxiing.Eliminate distractions while taxiing in the operational area.Copy the taxi clearance and use the airport diagram to review the taxi route to the assigned runway prior to releasing brakes and beginning taxi.During radio transmissions, use correct terminology and proper voice cadence.Review current ATIS for any taxiway closures, runway closures, construction activity, or other airfield specific risks.Have the airport diagram out and available for immediate reference during taxi.Brief any passengers on the importance to minimize discussions, questions, and conversation during taxi (maintain a “sterile cockpit”).Review airfield NOTAMS and current ATIS for any taxiway closures, runway closures, construction activity, or other airfield specific risks.Review any Hot Spots identified on the diagram. Review the appropriate airport diagrams.Review and understand airfield signage and markings.Remember: over 80% of pilot- caused runway incursions occur during taxi to the departure runway. The best practices were developed by FAA staff to help pilots improve safety by giving guidelines that should be followed to keep skills and focus current and vigilant.
