Ryanair on grass in Poland - Taxi incident

[Aerostar600A]

Hey Bomber,

Call me arrogant, I really couldnt care less mate. That is your opinion and that's fine too.

I went past the piano keys at leeds many times because it was absolutely obvious to the PIC (me) that it was safe to do so. Generally speaking though, there is never ever any need to do that. This accident certainly highlights a good reason why we ought not repeat this practice.

Correct me if I'm wrong but at Leeds, the pavement beyond the piano keys at least looks like the same colour and texture as the actual runway pavement. In the case of this accident, there is a clear distinction between the end of the physical runway pavement and the area within which they stopped. That is and should be seen as a big threat when considering your line up options.
