Blaming the pilot


Post #13:

“CAUTION / RESTRICTION
1. ACFT to exercise caution when taxiing on TWY B southbound to THR RWY 03L dueto Apron taxilane M extending from TWY B in a Southerly direction.”


Will it be asked why it was considered sufficientprecaution to avoid the risk of a plane straying from TWY-B to TWY-M, with a meretwo line caution, leaving just the pilot responsible to avoid the hazard?

Knowing the risk, of a plane straying, didn’t prevent themputting a building (and those in the building) in harms way (a deficient, orabsent, risk assessment for its construction?).

It does seem to have failed to stir themto install a warning system; a red light at the TWY-B/TWY-M diversion?
