keady - some of these seem obvious and could have been corrected before FAA involvement?

The airports that appear on the Federal Aviation Administration list range from some of California's major international airports to smaller but frequently used regional airports like San Jose Mineta International Airport, Hollywood Burbank Airport and Santa Barbara Airport. At Los Angeles International Airport, the FAA identified three hot spots in its report: - Due to the short distance between parallel runways 24 and taxiways V, W, and Y, pilots occasionally become confused about the "appropriate" place to stop on the runway, as the markings are difficult to see. - Sometimes pilots cross the runway 25's designated holding position without authorization. - As aircraft taxi from taxiway F to A, pilots are frequently instructed to hold short of the runway's marking before entering a specific taxiway to avoid confusion.
