Bungfai: I seem to remember that the accident report made much of the fact that although SQ trained for Low Visibility landings there was no training given to training for poor visibility take-offs. For example, some airlines use the departure runway localiser signal to confirm that the correct runway and centreline has been achieved. Did not SQ also have paravisual displays fitted to their aircraft which also would have helped prevent this accident? The typhoon conditions on the day with very heavy rainfall would have made taxying very challenging indeed.
