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.

What does this mean? Where would the page go? What would it say?

The first page of their Jep binders? In bold letters on any/all SIDs for
KLEX?

"NOTICE TO CREW OPERATING OUT OF KLEX, Lexington, Kentucky"

CLOSE PROXIMITY OF RWY 22 and RWY 26

As the departure ends of RWY 22 and RWY 26 are in very close proximity to
each other, exercise extreme caution and confirm visually and by reference
to flight instruments that you are on RWY 22. RWY 26 UNUSABLE for turbine
aircraft use.

Why should Rwy 26 be unusable for turbine aircraft? It is 3,500 feet long and
plenty long. Geez if you're going to ban turbines from 3,500 ft runways, the
Citations using my home airport would have to go elsewhere because 3,500 is
the longest runway. How about just banning aircraft from using the runway if
they need a longer one? Wait, I think that's already covered somewhere.....

Pavement weight restrictions.

Huh? What about pavement weight restrictions? What is the restriction that you
speak of?

Are you saying that a DC-3 woudn't be too heavy for a runway that an Eclipse would
be weight restricted from?
