Let me put you a case ....

It is dark. An aircraft takes off, and departs normally, and says nothing to ATC. Does anyone seriously expect ATC to carry out a runway inspection on that basis? Should ATC do that after every routine, "no problem" departure?

FFS, get real people.



[BTW, for the benefit of our American friends, "New Jersey" is so called because those lands in America were given to George de Carteret by King Charles II, in thanks for his support for the Monarchy during the English Civil War.

Just thought I'd mention that - I have to explain it all the time when I'm in the USA
