The entire purpose of a runway inspection is to ‘inspect’ the runway. At the speeds you were traveling, that is not feasible. Also, the driver radioed clear of the runway while still being within the safety area. Not a wise video to post for the world to see!

ull never see any FOD at that speed not unless its really big and yes talking about additional rubber contamination and runway occupancy times to break hard and back up to collect debris. i do d same thing but we certainly have better procedures in place...

@sealbeachbum How do you see FOD and pick it up at such a speed though?

Yep, this is about how they do it at Dulles. My division doesn't conduct the daily inspections, but I can place my claim of doing 90 on a T/W, and 80 on a R/W (backwards huh?) Feels like you're not even doing 25 when you're out there.
I was riding in the back seat taking the video. George (the driver) and I were doing recurrent training to be the duty Superintendent. When I do a runway inspection I drive a lot faster than George! Haha! 25R is a 12,000 ft runway and there is never a break in landing traffic at LAX. I never get kicked off midfield like he did! :)
