"Dave Stadt" wrote Never been to OSH eh? You get lined up six at a time. I have never seen that. They do pull someone onto the runway in pairs, as soon as the departing plane releases brakes. They line you up on left and right sides of the runway, and alternate departing left, then right. This was on 18; I don't what they do with the IFR departures on 9/27. -- Jim in NC |

"Tom Fleischman" k wrote in message news:250320051938408267%bodhijunkoneeightyeightjun ... This was a new one for me. I was IFR this afternoon out of HPN for short practice flight. I was in sequence number two at the runway waiting for departure. As the tower controller cleared the Cessna in front of me to position and hold, he asked him his direction of flight. The Cessna pilot responded "Northbound". The controller then instructed the Cessna to position 50 feet north on Rwy 34, and then he cleared me to position and hold behind the Cessna. The Cessna was VFR. I questioned the clearance, reminding him that there was an airplane on the runway in front of me. He told me to position and hold behind the traffic. As I taxiied into position, he cleared the Cessna for takeoff and as soon as the Cessna broke ground he cleared me for takeoff. I was using a DP which includes a turn to the left. The Cessna was instructed to turn out to the right. I've been flying out of HPN since 1992 and I have never seen or heard of anything like this being done there before, ever. Did I miss something?? Get it regualr out here at KDVT... busy training airport, not uncommon to have one aircraft laning, with taxi into position and hold clearances issued to aircraft holding at any number of taxiways located near the departure end of eaither runway, I have seen up to 3 aircraft on the runway at one time... 1 on the rollout, 2 holding in position... guess its possible for a third aircraft to be holding in position on 7R, there is C1 and C2, both are full length (displaced threshold) and C3 (ALMOST full length, intersection departure), but I've never seen it. Also know that under certain circumstances multiple aircraft can be ROLLING at the same time on the same runway, but can't recall what they are off the top of my head... |

They will get at least 6 lined up on 18 right, 2 wide and three deep. There will also be departures on 18 left. |

I can't say for sure, but I suspect it's only possible when one of the flights is VFR. IFR or VFR is not relavant. Separation requirements make the crowding-onto-the-runway exercise unnecessary if both flights are IFR, as the local controller would have plenty of time to taxi the second IFR guy onto the runway before the second flight could be released anyway. |

I have seen it at Boeing Field, Montgomery Field, and Riverside. It is
fairly common. I have even been cleared to land on the runway at the same time as another airplane -- one of us is told to land long, or on the right half of the runway, or both. |

He's right, the controller is not going to issue taxi and hold to a flight that is going to have to wait 10 minutes to pick up clearance. If they are ready to go, they are ready to go. |
