Thank you for the AIP link. Having checked the relevant section, no Differences from Annex 14 Standards are shown for Strip Dimensions, or indeed anything related to Runway Strips. Consequently, unless India has notified ICAO of Differences since 1 April 2012 (the eAIP date) it would appear that India has breached the ICAO Convention Article 38 by not reporting Differences.

One can only speculate that if the DGCA had enforced ICAO Annex 14 Standards (which had indicated to ICAO were the national standard in India) the damage to the aircraft may have been minimal (or possibly none) if the runway had been correctly safeguarded.

If you do have access to the final accident report, I would much appreciate it if you would share it with us.
