Thread Drift
Can I suggest that if we are about to review every airport in the world for an off runway excursion that we start a new thread please?
The thread is about an accident and thread 213 should be read by all. Page 11
For an off runway excursion, the answers are the same. You will hit another aircraft, a terminal, a motorway, the sea, an ILS array, a noise bund etc. Maybe even a tree or a Toyota Camry. In fact you can guarantee you will hit anything that is in the way...
Then there is also what is "in the way" on the approach and the climb if something goes wrong....BA 777?...and then the cruise. And then on route if we need somewhere to land because we can't make it to an airport.....to veer off the runway when we get there....
The aim of all in the industry should be that we put serviceable aircraft into the air and competent crew to get the aircraft out of trouble if luck is having a bad day. Sometimes with 100% planning things still go wrong.
