Takeoff from parking lines with active runway 14 is conducted from which spot?

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

Answer: (A)

When a specific runway is active, departures are taken from the parking position that gives a direct, unobstructed path onto that runway. For Runway 14 being active, the correct takeoff position is the spot closest to the Runway 14 threshold—the first parking line. This placement provides the shortest, most straightforward taxi onto the runway and keeps you out of potential conflicts with arriving traffic or other movement on the ramp. Moving to a farther spot would add taxi distance and could complicate entry onto the active runway, which is why the nearest parking line is the designated takeoff spot.
