If it was a misjudged 180 then its the inevitable result of all the high speed taxiing FR are known for.
So the Britannia 767 that went into the mud at Luton a good few years ago (doing a 180), was the inevitable result of all the low speed taxying BAL are known for?
escort is obviously no expert, first they didnt make the turn at the end of the runway, because speed was a factor, yet it appears that the aircraft was making a 180 on a runway with a parallel taxiway, so a little clarification is needed
Land quote:
If the crew in question were at the correct speed over the threshold with serviceable brakes, would the incident have occurred? No.
Hmm.... please provide evidence that a: the aircraft was at an incorrect speed over the threshold, and b: the brakes were unservisable
This was a minor incident of which many similar have occurred previously see BAL above, and will occur again, it can happen to any operator for a whole variety of reasons, wonder if maxalt or Land will be so quick to comment in a similar vein if BA/Virgin or anyone else get stuck in the mud tomorrow? Perhaps they'd like to borrow my signature
