Hi,

This is normally due to one of two things, both repairable with AFCAD:

1. The red hold short node just before the runway is too far from the
runway. The Fault Finder in AFCAD will check for this.

2. You need to add a blue taxiway node about 100-200 ft back from the
red hold short node. This will allow aircraft in the queue to move
ahead properly.

AFCAD (AFCAD 2.21 for FS2004) can be downloaded at the www.avsim.com
file library. Do a search for Lee Swordy as author in Extended Search.

Hope this helps,
