I've spoken to alot of guys about how much runway they use when lining up....some guys follow the yellow taxi line and straighten out ahead of the runway numbers and others (especially those on say smaller equipment) like to disregard the yellow line and try and straighten out on the piano keys before the runway numbers...my q is in terms of potential FOD damage and taxiway excursions it must be safer and wiser to follow the yellow lines but in terms of performance calculations that one would find in TL tables do they correct TORA for say a line up allowance for each type of aircraft.....cant seem to find it anywhere in my AOM's....
Cheers
