Too much to ask to just put running rabbit approach lights at the end of every runway. Should be impossible to screw it up then ?
Doesn't do anything for a crew who think the one on the left, with lots of lighting, is the one closed, and the strip visible on the right is the one to go for. As here.
Similar situation happened at London Gatwick TWICE, one with a based operator, with jets actually landing on the (fortunately vacant) taxyway, before some changes were made to procedures when a runway is advised as closed. I trust the enquiry here has looked closely at those cases. They also put a joggle in the relief taxyway so it looks crooked from the air.
