Another valid point is to check for contamination. Do you think the airport dudes do hourly checks at night? They don’t.
I’ve spent a lot of time at uncontrolled fields. I’ve seen crazy stuff. I don’t do this procedure but saying he is wrong isn’t correct.
Then you surely know how bad 70 year old GA pilots can be. They don’t make calls, mix up runways and would definitely land on top of an airliner. There is no world in which taxiing around a dark GA runway for 10 minutes is a good decision. He is wrong. Repeated 2 million times you would find .001 pieces of FOD that could result in an incident on TO and you would be struck by three GA planes resulting in multiple deaths and hull losses.Originally Posted by cornbeef007
