When approaching taxiway holding lines from the side with the continuous lines, the pilot
A
may continue taxiing.
B
should not cross the lines without ATC clearance.✓ Correct Answer
C
should continue taxiing until all parts of the aircraft have crossed the lines.
Explanation
The side of a holding position marking with the solid lines faces the pilot who must hold; AIM 2-3-5 says that at a towered airport you may not cross it onto the runway without an ATC clearance (and at a nontowered airport you stop and make sure the runway is clear). Continuing to taxi across without clearance risks a runway incursion; the dashed side is the one you may cross when exiting.
