Narrative:
While taxiing out for takeoff at btv for runway 33, inadvertently taxied on a short piece of taxiway K that was not stressed for this aircraft. There was no apparent damage to taxiway and ATC made no comment. There is a note on the commercial page but no other marking near taxiway to warn us. Might be helpful to have a marker sign for larger aircraft.
