A prototype system of surface painted taxiway markings was evaluated at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEATAC). The purpose of this evaluation was to determine the usefulness, from the pilot's and controller's viewpoint, of the surface painted markings to provide controllers with location of queued aircraft under conditions of low visibility. User pilots from Alaska Airlines as well as user controllers from SEATAC Tower were asked to comment on the effectiveness of the markings. Results of the evaluation indicate this system of painted taxiway surface markings does not provide the aircraft location information essential for supporting low visibility (400-ft runway visual range) taxi operations.
