If the tower cleared the airplane to the correct runway and the pilots

On what basis are you assuming that he was cleared to the correct
runway?


He's not. He said IF the tower cleared the airplane to the correct
runway.



I read the inflection of the "If" as a statement of presumption, not as the
subject of the query. But you're right - I could have misread the intent.

I was speculating that the clearance was correct, but even if it wasn't,
I make the same assertion - it is the pilots' fault if they took off on
a runway too short for their operating conditions. What part of PIC
don't you understand?
