Narrative:
While performing takeoff on runway 33 at btv; it was very difficult to orient the aircraft to the runway centerline. The centerline markings are almost completely faded out. This deterioration is probably due to constant brushing and snow removal treatments over the past winter season. The airport manager needs to schedule a centerline re-striping project as soon as feasible and technically able.
