Of course, but I notice that runway incursions are not exactly rare. Consequently, procedures in place to prevent them are not exactly watertight, and I also notice that there has been R/T...

Precisely. They could have hung the CG captain out to dry by now. They haven't, and as I've said before are studiously ignoring the most important point: that the CG ADS-B was inadequately specified,...

The largest hole

It seems to me that the key point is that for Haneda, JA722A was a non-standard aircraft either with a non-standard ADS-B transponder or being operated in a non-standard way. DaveReidUK has pointed...

It's now clear that there are many inter-relating contributory causes of this accident, but one over-riding question occurs to me: what were the crew of JA722A waiting for?

Regardless of the...

That explains it, then
