movement/ nonmovement
 
Started a corporate job and have transitioned from terminals to ramps. I was in boston logan and there were no nonmovement markings on the signature ramp by taxiway bravo. How do i know where the movement area starts?

At logan after we get our clearance they tell you to monitor ground and we don't move out of our parking spot until we get a taxi clearance. Makes it easy, we aren't in there too much but at the big airports if your unsure wait. Last thing I want is to start to taxi and be nose to nose with a heavy.

Take a look at AIM 2-3-6-c

One thing you'll find in corporate flying--the AIM and DOC 8168 is your friend. Lots of ops are unique, different and require heads-up work, not rote memory. Two weeks ago, it was a clearance over the radio with a void time; next week it's two uncontrolled airports in Brazil, VFR-only, then Rio's Santos Dumont. Not your typical airline deal.

Most places, local knowledge is your friend. I'm never afraid to ask an FBO line guy/employee or handler what the procedure is or prebrief what their plan for our exit from the ramp is. Many large FBOs are one way in, different way out.

When in doubt, you typically can't go wrong with what diesel said above.

Spot on. Basically, transitioning to corporate from an airline, you must become much more proactive than what you are used to in a structured 121 operation.
Get as much information as you can in advance, even before leaving home base. Pay attention to details. Anticipate issues. Go over every aspect step by step. Your homework will be your support.
