You are preflight planning in the morning before an afternoon flight. Where would you find information regarding an "Airport surface hot spot?"

A

Call the Automated Flight Service Station.

B

In the Chart Supplements U.S.✓ Correct Answer

C

In the NOTAMs during your preflight briefing.

Explanation

Airport surface hot spots are published by the FAA in the Chart Supplement, which lists each hot spot with a description, and are also depicted on airport diagrams. They are a permanent charted feature, so you look them up in the Chart Supplement during planning; they are not normally NOTAM items and Flight Service is not the source.
