There has to be a section in the 777 Owner’s Manual that says “Don’t do this”.

Gosh! Maybe they could paint a line on the tarmac for the pilot to follow.

The Pilot has promised to wear his ‘good glasses’ for his next flight and all flights after that one!

My car has side radar to let me know there is a car in my blind spots.

Maybe Boeing could use it..................

Cars have backup cameras. Maybe they could put wing tip cameras on planes.
