Ron,

This is just a special case of "is what you are planning to do next a good idea and if so have you adequately prepared for it?"

Applies not only to aviation.

Yes, I have a longish list of people I knew in aviation who aren't with us any longer because they died in aircraft.

In my company, when " lining up" we have to state that we are lining up on taxiway such and such or full length "as calculated".

Normally i would think that it is overkill but perhaps not.Â

Look flying will kill you along with a lot of things, complacency has no place in the game, how many of our friends are dead??

Wondering if it's a case of poor/overwhelmed ATC at certain airfields, or airport design, or pilots being too busy/under pressure and making mistakes, or....?


And of course over-runs happen with gliders too - with sometime tragic consequences....
