Over on "Fragrant Harbour" an ATCer makes the following observation
It amazes me that 07L is probably used for less than 5% of all night time departures here in HK, and yet there has been 4 serious "twy A attempted take-offs". To my knowledge, this has never happened on either 07R or 25L.
That being the case does it not imply that the statistic is trying to tell us something? Certainly can't be that a good many pilots are dumbkofs surely. What is the systemic issue at work?
