At this point, the lessons I'm taking away from this accident are these:
  • Always check heading prior to advancing throttles for TO.
  • For airports under construction, verify available runways your AC can safely use, then make certain you are using one of them.
  • For larger airports under construction with parallel runways, checking heading prior to advancing throttles is not good enough (I recall not long ago the SA 744 destroyed on TO using a parallel runway under construction). Therefor use additional means to verify correct runway.
