Not even close to being correct. In fact most operations at GA airports
allow two aircraft on the runway. The general rule is if either
aircraft is a jet or weighs more than 12,500 then only one on the runway.

Yep. And that's something that needs to be taught more, because it
shocked me when it first happened to me. My instructor never told me
anything about it,and very few people I talked to knew it was legal.
