CAT II/III runway holding position signs are used for what purpose?

• A. Indicating runway holding positions for instrument landing approach categories
• B. Indicating end of taxiway
• C. Indicating inbound destination
• D. Indicating No Entry

Answer: (A)

CAT II/III runway holding position signs mark the exact spot on a taxiway where aircraft must stop when approaching a runway during low-visibility instrument operations. They define the hold short point to protect the runway and the ILS/approach path, ensuring sufficient clearance for arriving and departing traffic under Cat II or Cat III minimums. These signs are used specifically to indicate where to hold before the runway; they aren’t about marking the end of a taxiway, pointing to an inbound destination, or signaling No Entry.
