A Wrong Surface Hot Spot is an FAA-designated area on an airport diagram, specifically marked with a cylinder symbol, indicating a high risk of pilots landing on or taking off from the wrong runway, taxiway, or airport. These locations have a history of misalignment, often caused by confusing airport layouts, where pilots may, for example, land on a parallel taxiway instead of the runway.

Today, most aircraft rely on Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. Just like your smartphone's GPS helps you find your way on the road, airplane GPS systems guide pilots along exact routes.

What causes a hot spot?

A hot spot is an intensely hot area in the mantle below Earth's crust. The heat that fuels the hot spot comes from very deep in the planet. This heat causes the mantle in that region to melt. The molten magma rises up and breaks through the crust to form a volcano.

What type of hot spot symbols represent wrong surface hot spots on an airport?

1. Cylinders to represent wrong-surface hotspots (landing surface). 2. Circles or Ellipses to represent surface-based hotspots, depending on the size of the hotspot.
