Narrative:
This is the second consecutive evening this has occurred: captain continued past hold short line due to the abnormal distance between the painted line and the runway threshold. Raised wig-wag lights adjacent to the runway are visible; and so the captain continued to taxi up to the lights assuming that the hold short line was painted in conjunction with the lights. The airport should re-paint the hold short line for runway 02R closer to the threshold as is standard at other airports.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: ACR FO REPORTS HOLD LINE FOR RWY 2R ON TXWY F7 AT RPLC IS ABNORMALLY DISTANT FROM THE RWY; CAUSING INCURSIONS.
Narrative: THIS IS THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE EVENING THIS HAS OCCURRED: CAPTAIN CONTINUED PAST HOLD SHORT LINE DUE TO THE ABNORMAL DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PAINTED LINE AND THE RUNWAY THRESHOLD. RAISED WIG-WAG LIGHTS ADJACENT TO THE RUNWAY ARE VISIBLE; AND SO THE CAPTAIN CONTINUED TO TAXI UP TO THE LIGHTS ASSUMING THAT THE HOLD SHORT LINE WAS PAINTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE LIGHTS. THE AIRPORT SHOULD RE-PAINT THE HOLD SHORT LINE FOR RUNWAY 02R CLOSER TO THE THRESHOLD AS IS STANDARD AT OTHER AIRPORTS.
