00seven and the like,
Instead of shouting "they went over the white lines", get your noses into the books and learn standard ICAO runway markings and signs.
Wannabe's have other forums to play in by the way. (general remark)
If the crew thought that this EMAS (never even heard of this term before I have to confess) was concrete, there was no indication that the area was not a "load bearing surface". Chevron markings, taxi side-stripes (yellow) or crosses should be used to make clear that this area is not part of the manoeuvre area.
A steady white line does not per definition mean that you can't cross it. Just look at the displaced thresholds at Heathrow (09R for example).
If you do not have your ICAO Annexes at hand, you might also find this info in your Jeppessen Student Route Manual if you still have one, in your company documentation or even on...the internet.
Can someone post here some example images (I am a computer analphabet and have no clue how
) that might "enlight" us aviators in the dark?!
We might then actually learn something from reading these pages... (god forbid)
