Interpretation

To maintain safe wingtip separation when holding at taxiway stop markings with another aircraft taxiing behind, crews should stop so the stop marking is just out of sight from the normal flight deck seating position and must inform ATC if stopped short of the marking or unable to determine exact holding position (see referenced AIP item).
