Unbelievable!

Are there any Airline Pilots on this site?!

Line-up technique is simple! Basic airmanship and taught during first line training...

When at the holding point and ATC tells you " line up and wait", you line up according to what your performance calculation has given you as distance. Normally, this means a 90 degree turn on the runway. Then you hold at that position untill cleared for TO. Unless a run-up is necessary( icing conditions,...) or when short field performance, no need to run-up. Release brakes, increase thrust to " stable value" and then prss TOGA.

When at the holding point and cleared for TO, do a rolling take-off, trying to have TOGA when aligned with the runway. No rolling take off in case of contaminated runway or if TS in the vicinity of the field ( wx-check of initial climbout path)
ALL basic Airmanship ladies!

And no, I do not give a damn about any ATC screaming. Not my problem. My ONLY responsibility when cleared TO is to operate the aircraft in the safest way possible and in accordance to the Manufacturer FCTM.
