Runway Excursions -
  • Does Ryanair have trend analysis FDR? No.
  • Has the CAA given them another exemption for trend analysis FDR's installation, that is mandatory for all other established UK operators? Yes.
  • If the crew in question were at the correct speed over the threshold with serviceable brakes, would the incident have occurred? No.
  • If Ryanair had trend analysis FDR's would the crew have gone around knowing that if they had tried to land the FDR would have 'shopped them' to their safety department for excess speed during landing? Yes
  • Do runway excursions pose a threat to passengers? Yes, particularly at airfields with less charitable Stop ends such as Funchal and Luton.
  • Do the media overcook their reportage of other operators who they have a vested interest in casting slurs upon? Yes. The concorde rudder story was hardly dangerous compared to this.
