Hi nines,

There's no hard and fast rule. It doesn't cause us a problem if an aircraft sneaks onto the threshold whilst a departure is only just rolling. Usually only happens when the aircraft are of similar weight categories. I would only say something to the pilot of the "keen" aircraft if it was dark or we were in low visibility procedures, when any encroachment is definitely not allowed.
