So I guess if your runway edge is 25 feet from the runway you are OK? What if a strong crosswind push's the plane off the edge and you fail to correct? What if the same plane does this on takeoff and it hits someone in the pit. So I guess you are not covered because you violated the 25 foot rule?
Not being smart, just how do you know it is intentional or not?
Again, these are guidlines, not cast-in-concrete regulations.
Even if the CL of the runway is 1/2 a mile from the pilot stations, many pilots will land a LOT closer than that, and a few will try to land in the pits.
The mere fact that you have sufficient distance for everyone to feel comfortable does not mean that everyone--or even anyone--will make use of it....
