Landing occurs on which spot when proceeding to the parking line with active runway 23?

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

Answer: (A)

When the runway is active, the guideline is to touch down in the position that allows you to quickly and safely exit the runway toward the designated parking path. The first parking spot aligns with the intended exit and taxi route from the active runway, so you can roll out promptly without delaying the next arriving aircraft or blocking other traffic. This spot provides the shortest, safest transition from landing to parking, which is why it’s the correct choice. The farther spots would require a longer rollout or additional taxiing, increasing the chance of congestion or conflicting with other traffic.
