This is my final say on this one
routetuner as we are way off thread.
05R was to have been converted and re-designated as Taxiway NC effective Nov. 1, 2000.
see link in post 38 above.
At the time of the accident 05R was a
promulgated runway
Notamed as under repair.
There was nothing wrong with the SIA SOPs, sadly and for reasons known only to the crew, on 31st October, 2000 they were not properly observed or complied with. Black is black and white is white, you can't swap them around to suit your own version of events. Endex.
