"Movement Area" (airplanes and trucks)

Parallel to and east of P. It extends between N and D.


I assume it has signage and markings consistent with other taxiways at CDW.
Any idea why taxiway H is not on the airport diagram?



It's the parking area near the east side of 9-27.


Why is it called RN tiedown?



Either H or 4-22, if P is closed anywhere between D and N. One could taxi
north on 4-22, left on B to N, thus keeping use of 4-22 to a minimum.


Those routes require either taxiing on an active runway or crossing it, use
of H requires neither. That's likely why he instructed you to taxi via H to
N to RN tie-down.

Yes.

None. FYI: Up until about a year or two ago, it wasn't a taxiway. It had
no official name. People called P "outer" and what-is-now-H "inner" (I
might have reversed these).

No idea. There's a story that the taxiway and ramp areas were named by one
individual with fits of odd creativity. Taxiway T, for example, is so
named (according to this story) because of its proximity to the tower.

The bravo tiedown is along side of taxiway B. The delta ramp is near
taxiway delta. RN is reached via taxiway N...but that leave the R part of
the name something of a mystery.

Perhaps another CDW-dweller here knows the answer?

I was under the impression that taxiways had to be named in the order in
which they appear going around a clock face (and they all had to be
renamed if a new taxiway was added).

Any idea why that was considered a good idea?
