They are not lucky; they are smart with some common sense. Unlike the NWA pilots that talked to everyone including the media about the incident. If you ever land on a taxiway, please call your union before you talk to anyone.

Yes, they're on if it's VFR. Unless you're in SLC, though. They're the only airport I know of in the country that don't use the centerline lights at night. I asked them "why" one time and they told me they're "saving electricity."

Taxiway "M" in ATL I don't believe has green taxiway centerline lights. Those lights lead off from Runway 09R/27L, cross 09L/27R and Taxiway "M" , about 2000ft from the end of "M", and then proceed down Taxiway "L" .

Oh..it does have them. They can get pretty obnoxious. Not as bad as MEM but pretty dang bad.

You're probably right, I was just glancing real quick at my 10-9D, but that only shows the lights that are on for low vis less than RVR 600. They might have had them on at that time in the morning. Don't know for sure. I'm sure the investigation will have all the details.

You folks can argue about the color of taxiway lights, and when they are illuminated, until you are blue (or green) in the face.
