What is your suggestion?
while aircraft are lining up/backtracking, if there is no other planes on the runway, allow option to give takeoff clearance before aircraft finishes the taxi to lineup/backtrack
How would it work in the game?
allow takeoff button to be available as soon as runway becomes available while they are taxiing to get ready for departure, could also allow aircraft to start roll out immediately instead of waiting for takeoff clearance and stopping on the runway
Why is this a good idea?
Would expedite takeoff and would slightly speed up departures. Realistically ATC would usually do so as well

Attach anything that helps visualize or support your idea.
Actually, they used to not have a takeoff clearance. I do think this could be a good update for airports that have a pure takeoff runway like IAD, where the takeoff clearance is given a bit earlier, with in use of the paid ATC departure. But each airport will be quite different, as each airport has somewhat different guidelines.
This is a great idea, since last adjustments, like introduction of safty regulations with update 3.0. and GRU and later clearance for arriving planes until previous plane just landed reach holding line, have massively reduced the process and progress at the airports! This would be a step that could partially compensate for these delays.
I feel that we should be able to choose, as players who prefer realism might appreciate the current setup, while those seeking maximum efficiency can utilize the automatic clearance.
This idea corresponds with realism. I like also the realistic simulation, thats what makes WOA special. However, if there is an idea that would speed up the gameplay, implementing it would be no disadvantage.
