The Board of Directors of SAABAA Airport Surface Deviation Safety Tip Notice Number: NOTC3073 Airport Surface Deviation Safety Tip Now that the warm weather is upon us there are new airport improvement projects under way at many airports. With all this construction activity going on, there will be numerous runway and/or taxiway closures. Especially when operating on a familiar airport, be sure to hear and understand the ATC instructions. Do not taxi in or out with a preconceived thought of what you believe the clearance will be. You may find yourself taxiing onto a closed runway or taxiway!  There is an increased risk of being involved in an incursion if you let yourself proceed as you always have and you expect the same old clearance as in the past. Always write down your clearances, read them back, clearly and correctly. And last but not least, understand what the clearance is. If there is any portion that is not clear, ask for clarification.
