December 31, 20223 yr ...and also, when the taxiway takes the airliner into the runway pre-threshold often quite a long ways back from the threshold. For Q1, are they expected to taxi on the runway near the centerline or where is the expectation when there is no taxiway to the runway threshold? Presumably runway lights are on as well as strobe? For Q2, will the airliner start well before the threshold to get more effective runway, or is the expectation to not start accelerating until they get to the threshold?

December 31, 20223 yr 1 - Most airliners will backtrack on the runway to get to the threshold, then make a 180 degree turn before beginning the takeoff roll. Standard airline procedures for being on a runway will apply (stay on the centerline, all lights on, etc) Smaller aircraft which don't need the entire runway (turbo props etc) will either depart from a taxiway intersection, or only backtrack part-way. This will usually only be if their airline SOP allows intersection takeoffs. Take a look at Grenada (TGPY) or St Vincent (TVSA) ops (on YouTube) for good examples of this. 2 - If there is a displaced threshold, aircraft can begin their takeoff roll before the threshold (displaced thresholds only restrict landing aircraft.... they must land beyond the threshold, usually for obstacle clearance reasons). See runway 22R at KJFK for a good example of this. Hope this helps, DB
