• The Pilots failed to determine that the runway condition.

• The Pilots' low-visibility taxiing performance was affected during the final stage of taxi.

• Their navigation procedure was inadequate • Lack of use of runway charts, signage,

markings or cockpit instruments.

• reason Captain Foong made a premature turn onto runway 05R

i) False impression that ATC could see the aircraft.

ii) The captain not using the runway charts or the compass to guide him to the correct runway.

iii) He “followed the green taxiway lights” despite the fact that this technique is not as per Heathrow .

iv) He also failed to notice signs, markings and lights which indicated he was turning onto the wrong runway.
