Sightline specializes in Airport Marking Consulting, having 30 years of experience regarding pavement markings. The purpose of this seasonal publication, if it is new to you, is to inform about issues regarding Airport Markings.

The Airfield Marking Handbook has been released to the public! To procure a copy for yourself, check this out. The Airfield Marking Practicum was a great success, held in Reno, NV last November. We wrote a bit about it and have a short slide show from the conference in our What's New column to the right. We'll be presenting and attending at a few conferences coming up soon listed on our calendar below. Be sure to come see us if you'll be in Hershey!
