In the past, clearance to a runway via taxiway authorized you to cross intersecting runways, as Martha says at 9:53. THIS IS NO LONGER THE CASE.

FAR 2014 4-3-18 (a.5) states: "A clearance must be obtained prior to crossing ANY runway. ATC will issue an explicit clearance for all runway crossings." (emphasis mine.)

Thus, you are NOT entitled to cross intersecting runways on your taxi route unless told. I think it was changed around the "line up and wait" transition from "position and hold."

Otherwise the video is good.

(I'm prepping for commercial, yeah, studying the FAR a lot.)
Thanks Doc and good luck .
