Is this technique or procedure?
 

My airline says if you are off the pavement you are dead in the water. Do NOT try to recover.

They had already taken the passengers off when this was attempted. They defueled and still couldn't get it out.

FOD inspection to commence.

The rest of the story…. Thanks.

your airline made the captain a chief pilot when he went off the pavement and not only that , he tried to cover it and got his atp suspended

ask around about BTR

So, was it Tech Ops or pilots trying to get it out?

Was this a single engine taxi fuel saving opportunity? Just checking.

Where is the link to FSAP and IORs again ?
As most Cappys always say , “ You don’t have to do it this way ,this is just my technique “.😂
Glad no one or nothing was hurt besides their ego’s.

Looks like a wet ramp. He appears to be facing the bright lights of the terminal. Reflective water hides the yellow line and taxiway markers look the same from every direction so if 4 are lined up on two adjacent taxiways then it looks like another taxiway that isn't really there. I've taken a turn like this before except I was slow enough to see the grass when it appeared from side scatter in my taxi lights and corrected in time to find the actual turn-off 100' further. This is actually a really easy mistake to make. Since then I've had this recurring dream where I run off a taxiway on a dark and stormy night and then sit around smiling at the passengers after we deplane in the mud and they try to keep dry holding the seatback magazines over their heads. What a night!
