This final node of each access route (Take Off Point) must sit within the runway thresholds. If not, departing aircrafts will simply stop and queue at the entrance of the runway. This is crucial when dealing with displaced thresholds. As a rule of thumb, your access route should end up on the white marking indicating the runway number/identification. | This final node of each access route (Take Off Point) must sit within the runway thresholds.

Backtracking: Certain airports do not have taxiways along the runway and aircrafts will 'backtrack' on the runway itself to reach the threshold (often circling on a turnaround area to align for take off). In this scenario, you still need a route to guide your aircraft all the way to the take off node by placing nodes and segments on the runway and the the turnaround loop area.

Your access routes (all routes at this stage in fact) must be bi directional so they can also be used for aircraft to vacate the runway if they taxi all the way to the threshold. | Your access routes (all routes at this stage in fact) must be bi directional so they can also be used for aircraft to vacate the runway if they taxi all the way to the threshold. | ||
