What is the difference between holding point and hold short? Holding short is very important. It means stopping before entering a runway area and is marked by two solid lines. You should hold short (ie, before) the solid lines. The holding position however, is a place on the ground where aircraft are to report once they taxi to it.

When approaching the holding position marking, pilots must not cross the marking without ATC clearance. The ILS critical area is not clear until all parts of the aircraft have crossed the applicable holding position marking.
