Narrative:

After landing on runway 18 at tlh, I made a left turn onto taxiway M and a left onto taxiway Z. I had never been to tlh, but my copilot had been many times and also had the taxi chart clipped to his yoke. I did not notice the notation on the chart limiting that portion of taxiway Z to 50 ft wing spans (I was 65 ft). I did see the sign that said 'small GA aircraft only' and stopped. The problem is, at that point on the taxiway were the sign becomes visible, there is not enough room for a large aircraft to turn around. To further complicate the matter, the taxi chart is not accurate. Taxiway Z formerly ran between taxiway F and taxiway K. The chart shows no pavement there, but the taxiway clearly remains. The only thing to alert you that it is a closed taxiway is a confusingly placed sign with markings that are unknown to me and a broken taxi light in the middle of the taxiway. Line personnel at the FBO told me the lights are continually broken by aircraft taxiing over them, as I nearly did. It is such a frequent occurrence that the line personnel actually tried to marshall me onto the closed portion of taxiway Z. The chart shows you to be on the FBO's ramp, but the ground controller handles you as if you are still in his movement area.

Title: A CL60 CREW, AFTER LNDG AT TLH, ENTERED A TXWY RESTR TO THEIR SIZE ACFT.

Narrative: AFTER LNDG ON RWY 18 AT TLH, I MADE A L TURN ONTO TXWY M AND A L ONTO TXWY Z. I HAD NEVER BEEN TO TLH, BUT MY COPLT HAD BEEN MANY TIMES AND ALSO HAD THE TAXI CHART CLIPPED TO HIS YOKE. I DID NOT NOTICE THE NOTATION ON THE CHART LIMITING THAT PORTION OF TXWY Z TO 50 FT WING SPANS (I WAS 65 FT). I DID SEE THE SIGN THAT SAID 'SMALL GA ACFT ONLY' AND STOPPED. THE PROB IS, AT THAT POINT ON THE TXWY WERE THE SIGN BECOMES VISIBLE, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR A LARGE ACFT TO TURN AROUND. TO FURTHER COMPLICATE THE MATTER, THE TAXI CHART IS NOT ACCURATE. TXWY Z FORMERLY RAN BTWN TXWY F AND TXWY K. THE CHART SHOWS NO PAVEMENT THERE, BUT THE TXWY CLRLY REMAINS. THE ONLY THING TO ALERT YOU THAT IT IS A CLOSED TXWY IS A CONFUSINGLY PLACED SIGN WITH MARKINGS THAT ARE UNKNOWN TO ME AND A BROKEN TAXI LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TXWY. LINE PERSONNEL AT THE FBO TOLD ME THE LIGHTS ARE CONTINUALLY BROKEN BY ACFT TAXIING OVER THEM, AS I NEARLY DID. IT IS SUCH A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE THAT THE LINE PERSONNEL ACTUALLY TRIED TO MARSHALL ME ONTO THE CLOSED PORTION OF TXWY Z. THE CHART SHOWS YOU TO BE ON THE FBO'S RAMP, BUT THE GND CTLR HANDLES YOU AS IF YOU ARE STILL IN HIS MOVEMENT AREA.
