In this letter, it is shown numerically that in plane Poiseuille flow and before the threshold of equilibrium turbulence defined by the directed-percolation universality class, a sparse turbulent state in form of localized turbulent band can sustain either by continuous increase of the turbulence fraction due to band extension when the flow domain is large enough, or by a dynamic balance between the band extension and the band breaking and decay caused by the band interaction in a finite domain. The width and tilt angle of the band keep statistically invariant during its oblique extension, a process which is not sensitive to random disturbances.
