Narrative:
During pushback from gate at mroc; the ground crew cleared us to start engines and finally dropped us off for disconnect on the taxiway heading southwest abeam taxiway a. While clearing the left wing area before taxiing; I noticed that the left wingtip was approximately 4 ft over the hold short bars for runway 7/25. The aircraft was disconnected from the tug approximately 3 ft left of centerline. The paint markings for all hold short bars appears to be too close to the taxiway. It seems as if the A300 wingtip overhangs all of the hold short bars while taxiing on the centerline to the runway.

Title: AN A300 PLT NOTES THAT THE ACFT'S WINGTIP EXTENDS OVER THE RWY HOLD SHORT LINES BECAUSE THE LINES ARE TOO CLOSE TO THE TXWY.
Narrative: DURING PUSHBACK FROM GATE AT MROC; THE GND CREW CLRED US TO START ENGS AND FINALLY DROPPED US OFF FOR DISCONNECT ON THE TXWY HEADING SW ABEAM TXWY A. WHILE CLRING THE L WING AREA BEFORE TAXIING; I NOTICED THAT THE L WINGTIP WAS APPROX 4 FT OVER THE HOLD SHORT BARS FOR RWY 7/25. THE ACFT WAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE TUG APPROX 3 FT L OF CTRLINE. THE PAINT MARKINGS FOR ALL HOLD SHORT BARS APPEARS TO BE TOO CLOSE TO THE TXWY. IT SEEMS AS IF THE A300 WINGTIP OVERHANGS ALL OF THE HOLD SHORT BARS WHILE TAXIING ON THE CTRLINE TO THE RWY.
