Over the past several days, I have noticed that when pilots are holding short, some are not holding short properly and are actually causing a runway incursion by crossing the hold short line. This can also cause a collision with another aircraft.
Below, you can see in the image the CORRECT way to hold short which is BEHIND the line as well as the WRONG way. The only time any part of the aircraft should be over the line is if you are taxiing on to the runway.
Lets all work together to help make Infinite Flight a fun but SAFE environment for everyone!
No @Belfast_spotter, that is an incursion. You should be BEHIND the line as you see in the attached image. The Hold Short line is there to keep aircraft a safe distance from aircraft on the runway whether they are taking off or landing. Just make sure the nose of the plane is behind it and all will be fine. Its a simple concept.
I’m curious, how is educating people on proper procedures taking it too far? My job as the Pilot Community Manager is to educate and provide information relative to flying. If someon doesn’t wish to follow proper procedures while flying, they are more than welcome to fly on the Free Flight server or in Solo mode. However, if flying on the Playground or Advanced servers, proper procedures need to be followed. Be respectful and courteous when flying with other paying Live members.
No different than a stop line on a car roadway- you Can stop on/over the line and avoid catastrophe, but the law says that you can expect a citation if you do so.
