If we all looked to the source material everytime we had a question about anything related to rules or technical issues half the threads on Pprune would become redundant.
The ghost is spot on. 7 pages of people b1tching about Ryanair and no real discussion of what happened, apart from 'they
up' because they tried to turn around in a sandpit.
IMHO that sandpit looks suspiciously like a Runway Slip or RESA, so they might have justifiable expected it to be graded. On the other hand, neither of those are intended for the use by aircraft in the normal course of events, so I can't help but wonder what
they thought they were doing.
