Takeoff from parking lines with active runway 5 is conducted from which spot?

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

Answer: (C)

When a runway is active, the takeoff must start from the designated position that gives you a direct, straight path onto that runway. In the parking-line setup, only the spot closest to Runway 5’s threshold provides an aligned departure onto the runway without needing to turn or cross other taxi paths. That spot ensures you roll directly onto Runway 5 along the centerline and clear taxiways or hold-short lines that could conflict with other traffic. The other spots would require extra maneuvering or crossing paths, which is not appropriate when Runway 5 is in use.
