Default CRJ crash at KLEX:


.... Recent aerial video of the airport shot since the crash show
that the displaced paved area of the approach end of Rwy 22 is painted
with yellow chevron striping. Iirc, this indicates that the area is NOT
usable for taxi, takeoff, or landing.


Not Suitable For Taxi, Takeoff Or Landing

-- -- -- Suitable for Taxi and Takeoff but NOT Landing


Right. That's the thing some posters are missing; The recent runway
improvements were to SHORTEN the runway 22, creating a long overrun/blast
pad area on the approach end (not usable for normal ops). The airport then
placed some barracade obstructions across the old taxiway A-8 to prevent
access. And the NOS charts do not even show that section anymore.

But the old google earth and airnav page mini picture still show the old
runway 22.
Sorry to beat a dead horse.
