January 16, 200620 yr I tried a RC session from Landvetter Sweden to Hamburg in the PMDG 737-800.At the very moment I was cleared for takeoff another plane landed just in front of me.I was cleared bty the tower to line up and I did some tasks before actually getting on the rwy? Maybe is it important to line without delay when told to do so? If I do can I count on having the rwy for myself when I'm cleared for takeoff?
January 16, 200620 yr You are supposed to have the aircraft ready for takeoff except possibly switching on landing lights , when cleared to taxi onto the runway. When cleared for takeoff, you should takeoff. There was probably an aircraft on a 3-4 mile final when they cleared you, and you waited too long. In real life, that would have caused either a go around for the landing craft, or you would have been told to exit the runway.

I was on Westjet Flight 213 from CYEG to CYYJ - the Westjet 737-700 was cleared onto the runway. Then something in the cabin required attention (moving a passenger for some reason) and the pilot could not take-off. We exited the runway because an Air Canada Jazz Dash 8 was already on short-final. The Dash 8 landed and then we regained the runway for take-off.
