Takeoff from Fuel/Crew change area with active runway 23 is conducted from which spot?

• A. Spot 4
• B. Spot 2
• C. Spot 1
• D. Spot 3

Answer: (C)

Takeoff from the Fuel/Crew Change Area is guided by aligning with the active runway’s departure path. When Runway 23 is in use, you select the spot that gives you a straight, unobstructed climb in the direction of that runway, immediately after leaving the FCCA. The spot closest to the Runway 23 end provides this direct alignment, keeps you clear of fueling equipment and other traffic in the area, and avoids the need for early turns that could complicate the departure with the runway active. Other spots would require additional turns or movements that could conflict with operations and obstacle clearance, so they aren’t appropriate when Runway 23 is active.
