Taxi Into Position and Hold and Land And Hold Short Operations
Taxi Into Position and Hold (TIPH)
From The FAA – FAA Order JO 7110.65S § 3-9-4(a)
The intent of TIPH is to position aircraft for an imminent departure. Authorize an aircraft to taxi into position and hold, except as restricted in subpara g, when takeoff clearance cannot be issued because of traffic. Issue traffic information to any aircraft so authorized. Traffic information may be omitted when the traffic is another aircraft which has landed on or is taking off the same runway and is clearly visible to the holding aircraft. Do not use conditional phrases such as “behind landing traffic†or “after the departing aircraft.â€
RUNWAY (number) AT (taxiway designator) (further instructions as needed)
RUNWAY (number) AT (taxiway designator), POSITION AND HOLD.
Below are some additional regulations in regards to TIPH Operations.
- Do not issue conditional instructions that are dependent upon the movement of an arrival aircraft on or approaching the runway or a departure aircraft established on a takeoff roll. Do not say, “Position and hold behind landing traffic,†or “Taxi/proceed across Runway Three Six behind departing/landing Jetstar.†The above requirements do not preclude issuing instructions to follow an aircraft observed to be operating on the movement area in accordance with an ATC clearance/instruction and in such a manner that the instructions to follow are not ambiguous.
- When an aircraft is authorized to taxi into position and hold, inform it of the closest traffic requesting a full-stop, touch-and-go, stop-and-go, option or unrestricted low approach to the same runway.
- Do not taxi a small aircraft into position and hold behind a heavy.
- An aircraft may be authorized to taxi into position and hold at an intersection between sunset and sunrise. The procedure must be contained in a facility directive. The following conditions must apply:
- The runway must be used as a departure-only runway.
- Only one aircraft at a time is permitted to taxi into position and hold on the same runway.
- When aircraft are authorized to taxi into position and hold on runways that intersect, traffic must be exchanged between that aircraft and the aircraft that is authorized to position and hold, depart, or arrive to the intersecting runway(s).
