SkyBoy1981 said:Perhaps I am wrong, but is there really a safety issue by holding an airplane in position at the approach end of a runway on a clear day? Even if it is forgotten about, the pilot of the landing aircraft would have to be blind not to see it there unless its a very small airplane. I know that position and hold is already restricted from being used from intersections at night, but if they are going to restrict it further they should restrict it completely during night hours and in IFR conditions. Doing away with it completely at most airports just seems a bit overboard.
The 145 I fly is so quiet it is almost an insult to call it a jet.

ISaidRightTurns said:The only answer for the runway problem is more concrete. Lots more. Wouldn't it be great to taxi AROUND a runway?
BTW, Lrjtcapt, did you see a copy of the FAA letter to the guy in N90? Not good.
