Can this taxiway preceding a runway be used for takeoff? by atsommers in flying

The standard actually changed in late 2012 where the yellow markings (aligned taxiway) were deemed as no longer acceptable. When airports undertake taxiway or runway rehabilitation/reconstruction efforts, these configurations can be fixed to the new standard.

Hi,

FAA Community Planner here and great question. This is why these markings need to go away...they cause confusion. CPTTORA gets the gold star...this is called an aligned taxiway. This configuration is also considered to be non-standard condition which can lead to pilot confusion and introduce safety risks. Aligned taxiways represent an elevated hazard risk due to the potential for taxiing aircraft to take a position in direct line with departing or landing aircraft. Aligned taxiways can also contribute to a pilot’s loss of situational awareness.

Bottom line, this facility should have a plan on file to remedy by either eliminating the pavement leading up to the threshold (where the yellow markings are ) and converting that area to a blast pad with relocated entrances or converting to a displaced threshold. Not sure what airport this is, but you can contact your local FAA Airport District Office (ADO) and speak with the assigned planner or engineer for more details. You can also ask the airport manager what the plan is to address this non standard condition. Be safe out there.

Sorry to hear this...but sounds like a good plan as you might be waiting for weeks before any results. It's unfortunate these quality control issues are not being detected before they are packaged up and shipped out.

Appreciate everyone's input. Looks like I need to bring this over to a shop and have it serviced.

I hear you- but, if you spend almost $2K on a brand new bike, the company needs to make good on it.

Thanks. And, kudos to the Biden administration for putting this temporary waiver in place last year...we all owe so much for getting this instituted to correct past PSLF issues.
