ILS27L "A lesson: all runways should be like 27Left from now on. This incident could happen again. Same incident on 27 right at EGLL and the 777 would have found the VS Car Park. Slightly harder than the wet grass. RESA needed.
Let's move these car parks."

Take a look at Google Maps Satellite pics or similar. 27L and R seem to have almost identical grass lead ins, and distances to the 09 LOC aerials. This approach on 27R, IMHO would have been almost identical...

09L/R from piano keys have considerably more distance available, since they are inset Thresholds. From end of concrete less...
