Takeoff from Fuel/Crew change area with active runway 5 is conducted from which spot?

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

Answer: (C)

When the active runway is known, you pick the departure position that gives a straight, unobstructed path onto that runway. For Runway 5, the spot that lines up directly with Runway 5 provides the cleanest, quickest, and safest takeoff from the fuel/crew change area. It avoids extra turns or maneuvering that could conflict with traffic and obstacles. Spots not aligned with Runway 5 would require additional heading changes and increase risk, so the aligned spot is used.
