Narrative:
While taxiing to runway 02R for departure; the captain crossed the hold short line due to the great distance remaining between the aircraft and the flashing wig-wag lights adjacent to the runway. The hold short line is at least 70 ft from the lights prior the runway. The airport should re-paint the hold short line to keep in line with standardized airport configurations. There is no information or NOTAM regarding the hold short line distance to the runway; and it is very easy to assume that the line is painted closer to the runway.

Title: ACR FO REPORTS HOLD LINE FOR RWY 2R ON TXWY F7 AT RPLC IS UNUSUALLY DISTANT FROM THE RWY; AND CAN CONTRIBUTE TO RWY INCURSIONS.
Narrative: WHILE TAXIING TO RUNWAY 02R FOR DEPARTURE; THE CAPTAIN CROSSED THE HOLD SHORT LINE DUE TO THE GREAT DISTANCE REMAINING BETWEEN THE AIRCRAFT AND THE FLASHING WIG-WAG LIGHTS ADJACENT TO THE RUNWAY. THE HOLD SHORT LINE IS AT LEAST 70 FT FROM THE LIGHTS PRIOR THE RUNWAY. THE AIRPORT SHOULD RE-PAINT THE HOLD SHORT LINE TO KEEP IN LINE WITH STANDARDIZED AIRPORT CONFIGURATIONS. THERE IS NO INFORMATION OR NOTAM REGARDING THE HOLD SHORT LINE DISTANCE TO THE RUNWAY; AND IT IS VERY EASY TO ASSUME THAT THE LINE IS PAINTED CLOSER TO THE RUNWAY.
